Excerpt:
"Oh. Oh, by all means," O'Neill says, leaning back in his chair. He extends an arm. "Shoot."
"Well, that's just it, Sir."
"Excuse me?"
"You didn't, Sir. On the planet. You didn't shoot. Why?"
"I…." he begins, but then his face contorts. "Why do you need to know?" he asks.
"I'm…just interested," she says. "Like I said, it's a…a tactical question."
He tries to explain, but the Colonel's not much with words. "I just did what I had to do at the moment," he finally says with a shrug. "When you're in command, you will, too. Don't worry, Carter – you'll be a fine CO."
She thanks him and leaves, because the answer can't be found in the Colonel's office. If one road leads to a dead end, you try another way of looking at the equation. What's bothering her isn't some future command; she knows she's a damned good officer. She wants to understand what just happened, right there on Frozzard World. Oh, she knows the details. But she wants to know what the Colonel saw. Did she miss a little thing, or the bigger picture? Did Teal'c see what the Colonel saw? Would Janet have seen it? What do other people see that she doesn't?
