Why This Must Be Read: Told in Daniel's voice, this humorous fic relates what we didn't see in the episode "Proving Ground" - the planning stages. 

Jack flittered in mid-afternoon. He hovered near the door, then hovered over my desk before he came over to land heavily in a chair. He waved in greeting. His dark eyes had a glint in them that was hard to classify. He didn't seem obnoxious, but he was definitely up to something.

"Having fun?" He peered at the texts littering my desk.

I smiled wanly, the way I usually do when Jack walks in on my work. He was in his pay-attention-to-me mood. "I was. Thanks for interrupting."

"Sure thing. You can go back to it later," he said. He reached over to close one of my books and plucked the pen from my fingers. I squawked in protest, especially when my Akkadian notes mixed with the Ugaritic and the Hittite. Even I have a hard time telling the difference between them at a glance. "Come on, we have to get to the briefing room."

"Why?" I didn't like this, but I let him pull me along anyway. Passive resistance in the verbal form worked better than letting him wear down my defenses by continual prattering.

"It's nothing bad," he assured me.

The fact that he needed to clarify made me shudder in dread.

Just love sneaky, snarky Daniel. The fact that Daniel got to be the 'snake' was simply the highlight of that episode. And the fact that he 'shot' all of the recruits and they just stood there and let it happen. I loved the shot of him blowing the smoke off his gun afterward.
Good stuff.

Let me tell you, that was a FUN story to write. :) And damn, I think I'm gonna have to make an icon of that gun-blowin' moment now. :)
