More exerpts from the SGC Christmas party reel (for original post, see here):

---

There's a section set to the Scissor Sisters, 'I Don't Feel Like Dancing'. No amount of threats or bribery has ever succeeded in getting it cut.

First up comes Colonel O'Neill, standing outside General Hammond's door and plainly bored out of his skull. He sways side-to-side, staring at his feet. Then he begins to bounce, testingly. Then he hops from foot to foot, getting more involved in his own private game, balancing on one foot and then springing onto the other foot, neither foot touching the floor at the same time (and when now-General O'Neill watches this, he always winces and rubs at knees no longer up for such frivolity). Then, head still down and staring at his feet, he breaks into a remarkably competent soft-shoe shuffle, getting more enthusiastic, more absorbed... until he jumps like he's been shot at the sound of His Master's Voice, straightens, and is entirely sober and professional as he enters Hammond's office.

Next, brief as an hallucination, Walter, Siler, and an assortment of Control Room technicians flit past the Gateroom camera – performing the Dance of the Cygnets. Sam has always thought that the recording might have some use as an interrogation instrument, but she's never quite figured out how.

Sam and Janet stride briskly down the hall. Outside a door, Sam stops, but Janet walks straight into the room and flings open her white lab coat. There's a crash from within the room, and then she's back out a moment later, and they're off down the hall - Janet with her lab coat wrapped tightly around her again, and Sam surreptitiously handing her... something. A caption follows the clip. "Unfortunately, the camera in Doctor Jackson's room had mysteriously developed a malfunction, so the other side of this footage is unavailable."

As the reel grows and is added to, selected highlights from Jennifer Hailey's final test appear. They'd brought out the big guns for her. A month later she still wasn't a hundred percent sure the test was actually over – or that it hadn't in fact been a series of horrible accidents that were subsequently passed off as a test in order to salvage several careers.

When General Hammond screws with your mind, he really screws with your mind.

There will be further silliness as and when I think of it. This is good to do on my journey home, I've discovered.

I had to play! This is, without a doubt, entirely too entertaining to read/think up.

The next clip is of a darkened hallway, during one of the many blackouts of the third year of operations. Daniel walks by the camera first, trying valiantly to read a folder he is carrying with him. He walks past a door in almost the center of the frame, continues walking until he was at the very edge of the shot, and then stops abruptly, looking up and heading back to the door. He steps inside and lets the door close behind him. He does not come out.

Then there's a time lapse, and O'Neill and Sam come down the same corridor, holding flashlights and looking alertly around them, heads bent close together. Watchers can catch 'Daniel' being mouthed frequently as they reach the center of the frame. They almost walk past the door, but both their heads turn at the same instant. Then Sam opens the door and O'Neill holds it open as she walks inside. There are a couple of minutes of O'Neill standing at the door, but the camera isn't at the right angle to see inside. Then, suddenly, O'Neill lets go of the door and steps forward into the room. (There is a fierce debate about this section, over whether or not O'Neill goes in of his own will or if there is a hand that jerks him inside.)

There is quite a bit of time lapse, and then Teal'c strides into the picture, pauses before the enigmatic door and opens it, revealing his three other team members, apparently breathless from shouting and pounding on the door.

When asked about this segment, the team universally blames O'Neill for locking them in the storage closet. O'Neill just smiles enigmatically.

Heeheehee! I racked my brains to find some way to get some shippage into this without it being court-martialable, but really couldn't come up with anything. I'm so glad you did it! That was wonderful.

O'Neill just smiles enigmatically.

Ah, he's so getting some. That's what I think, anyhow, but shhh, don't tell Hammond. *BG*

*Plays completely innocent*

Shippage? Where? I don't see anything!

;-)

Hammond never needs to know.
