Why This Must Be Read: Fandom meta crackfic plus typical Teal'c pwnage equals sheer glee, so go read this right now!

"I suppose you think you will escape our prison," sneered Enki. "I suppose that, this very moment, you are hatching a cunning plan to secure you and your team's freedom, Colonel?" He sounded almost... eager.

"Well, hey," shrugged Jack, "it's what I..." Enki and Nanna had leaned forward, simultaneously. It was kind of spooky, and it made Jack lose his train of thought. "...um. What?"

Enki and Nanna looked strangely disappointed.

"Yes, well, it'll never work," muttered Enki.

"Tell us about the markings on your uniform," demanded Nanna, abruptly.

"What? No."

"Tell us," insisted Nanna. "Or I will – I will shoot your Major." He drew out a zat, and aimed it at Carter, who stepped back. "Tell us, Colonel. We know how much you value her life." He and Enki exchanged a significant look that raised some new concerns in Jack's mind.

Well, it wasn't like his patches were some great secret. "Okay, boys, simmer down. This one's the SGC insignia," he said, pointing at the patch on his right shoulder. "And this one's to show that I'm a member of the United States Air Force. This one's the Earth point of origin," he said, pointing at his left shoulder. Lucky he wasn't wearing his Dress Blues, he thought to himself, or they'd be here all day.

There was a hurried, sotto voce conversation.

"So... in fact..." said Enki, voice quavering somewhat, "it does not say 'Colonel' anywhere on your uniform?" Across the hallway, Teal'c drew in a sharp breath.
