 Just up the hallway from the Commanders office, the Payroll officer abides in one of the most secured rooms in the entire facility. Protected by a two door entry system, gained only by a single master code held by the Payroll officer and the base XO. Once inside an eye scanner permits entry through the second door to the office itself. Despite the electronic age, cash is still handled here and a lot of it. Two SF's are on duty in two hour shifts 24/7. There are generally three staff at any one time, the Payroll officer and two enlisted clerks. The current payroll officer is Lieutenant Cheryl Brownwell USAF. Visitors are allowed entry only when cleared via the intercom; they must speak to the senior SF first.

Tilly walked along the corridor carrying a motorcycle helmet on one gloved hand. Her other gloved hand held onto the medium sized Military Camo duffle bag strapped across her back. It looked large and heavy with different insignia and icons slapped on it. One of them was from New Zealand of her hometown. Only five feet eight inches, she stood strong as an imposing figure with her military jacket on. The Sergeant rank and the SGC icon were slapped on her velcro fabric.

Her dirty blonde hair was tired into a military bun. A single strand tucked behind her ear. She grunted shifting the weight of her bag on her back. It was heavy. Her black coated specs covered her eyes. Studying the door before her, she glanced at the two SFs standing guard with a scowl. Gripping the edges of her motorcycle helmet, her mouth move slightly as if she was chewing something.

Using her tongue to move the gum aside in the back of her molars where her wisdom teeth were location, she spoke with a light Kiwi accent with military confidence, "Sergeant Rose. I am here to report in. How shall I proceed?"

 "One moment Sergeant." The deep voice told her. He pressed the intercom speaking directly with Cheryl. "Lieutenant I have a Sergeant Rose here."



 Cheryl tapped the coms button. "Send her in Tom, I've been expecting her." Cheryl stood, pressed the two door releases then walked to the safe area between the two doors to wait for the new arrival.

 The first door opened to reveal the young Lieutenant waiting inside. "You may proceed Sergeant."

Soon as she introduced herself, the Sergeant uttered a soft grunt and resumed chewing her gum. It was an energy gum that kept her energized and focused. Tilly shifted her bag and walked through the checkpoint. Going around the corner, she approached the Lieutenant and moved to drop the bag on the ground. Placing the cycle helmet atop the end of the duffel bag, she removed her sunglasses and pocketed it on the sleeve of her jacket. Her ice blue eyes studied the person before her.

Looking at her rank, Tilly spoke offering her hand, "Lieutenant? Tigerlily Rose. Sergeant. I heard about you. Pleasure to meet you in person." Her tone was professional, mature, clean and almost friendly. She didn't want to put off a lot of people with her upbeat personality. She had a code. She also would only salute when it was proper or this would be an awkward moment of misconduct.

While keeping a straight face with her light scowl, she kept her nervous energy and excitement contained. The gum was keeping her level. Honestly, when she meets people for the first time, it would be weird for her to let people know what they should call her when her rank or last name was sufficient. Most people call her Tilly or Tiger, but she didn't really care.

 Cheryl bent her hand towards a chair, one of three around the small table in the centre of the room. "Take a seat please Sergeant, this won't take long." Taking one of the other chairs available Cheryl got straight into it, after of course closing the main door with the remote.

 With the file before her she began. "Normally our base XO would be conducting this, unfortunately the Colonel is off world for a short while but you will be meeting her soon. She will be your immediate commanding officer and I generally look after the administration side of things for the security teams. I've read your file and it is impressive, I hope you can live up to it....oh? I hope it was all good." She blushed slightly, Cheryl was always hoping she was one to fly under the radar.

 "Now your immediate duties. You'll be responsible for the day to day organization of the security sweeps of the base, internally and externally with a verbal report from you to Colonel Davidson at the start of each day. If she is not available, it will be the Admiral first or me. You will provide security for visiting dignitaries as required, escort the pay officer on pay days; I should mention that at times large amounts of cash are sometimes involved when we provide immediate petty cash for the medical section and the Admirals personal safe." There was a lot to cover, so she breathed in deeply. From there she told her of duties such as escorting prisoners, daily checks on the health of the canine unit, carrying out routine spot checks on high security areas and so on. "Lastly you may at times be required to go off world to inspect security arrangements at any one of our off world operations, in this your next step from here will be to our Medical section to have your personal locator beacon fitted and the usual vaccines. Any questions?"

Tilly withdrew her hand. She was going for a handshake. Maybe it wasn't appropriate around here or maybe it was just her. Dismissing that silly notion from her head, the Sergeant nodded. Taking the bike helmet from the top of her bag, she transferred her bag to lean it against the desk and took her seat. Listening to her, Tilly nodded, "Thank you, ma'am. I am here to do my duties." Being observant, Tilly almost never misses a beat. She could tell from that one.

She listened to her requirements of her job here. Tilly wasn't new to this, but it was always good to know what she was required to do. The woman nodded marking off each words like a check list in her head. She had good memory.

Organizing security sweeps of the base. Check. Write a report to Colonel Davidson, or the Admiral, or her. Check. Providing security for visiting dignitaries. Escorting the pay officer on paydays. Check and check. Go off world to inspect- Wait, what?

On that offworld bit, Tilly had to reverse the gear and think about it for some time. Colonel Davis told her something about this. Going off world. Doing some missions. All of a sudden she wasn't sure about it. The gum in her mouth got stuck behind her tooth. Moving her jaw slightly, she resumed chewing it and pondered on her question. Obviously, she was fine with the shots and getting the personal locator done. There were several questions on her mind right now.

Crossing her arm on the table, Tilly straightened her back and leaned forward slightly to reply, "I do have several questions. Number one. Off-world? As in space ships or something else? A stargate? I was told some things about the gate use, but I have to see it with my own eyes. I did see some videos on it."

[Mim]

 Cheryl chuckled just a little under her breath. "Well all and good Sergeant, I hope you paid attention to those videos. Because when I say off world I mean as in through that big old orifice as our General O'Neill likes to call it; the Star Gate. Your duties there may involve as I said checking on security at our other sites and the possibility of escorting prisoners to or from off world sites, which may include allied worlds. Is that quite clear?"

[DanielRyder]

"Right" Tilly mumbled under her breath. She was paying close attention to what she was saying. Clearing her throat, she responded, "I got it." It was something she would have to see for herself. Allowing her body to completely dissipate and reappear on the other side wasn't at least appealing to her. What if something happened and she comes out wrong on the other side. In her reports when she read up for the SGC program, there were a few incidents that involved certain Stargate 'accidents'.

Racking her smart brain, Tilly attempted to recall another question she had and sighed. Cheryl pretty much covered almost everything. The sergeant would have to find out later after this last question as she wanted to get things going soon, "One last question. If you don't mind my asking. Who is Colonel Davidson like? Any aspects I should be aware of?" Hopefully that question wasn't too weird to ask, but it was something she was curious about some people.

[Mim]

 "Colonel Davidson? Who is she like?" Cheryl didn't have to think long on that one. "Like the best Mum you could ask for. Always there for you, she has your back and you can talk to her off the record at any time. Although I'd tread warily around her right now, she's pregnant and well, I don't have to tell you what that means. She is also one of the best officers the SGC has ever seen in a long time, so respect that to." She stacked her papers in order, looked down then up again. "Right then Sergeant, best you head down to Medbay and seek out Lieutenant Colonel Sutton."

[DanielRyder]

Tilly nodded replying, "Yes, ma'am. Thank you!" She gave her a salute before taking her helmet and her pack. Slinging her duffle on her back, she exited the room and headed down the hallway. With the map of the SGC base seared into her brain, she attempted to follow certain hallways to find her way. Several times, she got lost and had to request directions to the medic wing. Entering the elevator, she showed her pass to the SF and made her way toward the Medical Unit.

Major Callaghan had just left the sick bay, and after a quick walk had made his way to the pay office. He'd been here numerous times, though most of the times had been when he was in command of SG-21. He hadn't been here for some 2 months though.

He kocked on the door, and entered after the Lieutenant told him he could.

"Lieutenant. I assume you're aware of what I need right now?" he asked after he closed the door behind him.

[Mim]

 "Welcome home Major Callaghan, I heard about your arrival earlier. How was the course sir?" Cheryl asked getting a conversation going. Primarily she was bored having finished all her work an hour ago. "And yes sir I do. Pass code for your room, the same one by the way and your file has been transferred back to us from the Pentagon for your pay. Your SGC ID card is still valid so we don't have to that again, which is always a pain isn't it. We never seem to be happy with those photos." She waited for the plastic swipe card to be finalized before checking it, then handing it over to him. "You'll be seeing Lieutenant McMillan down in the Blackbird bunker Major, she'll get you set up and give you the latest sitrep." Cheryl gave him directions to the bunker, it wasn't easy to find. "Good to have you back again sir."

[Justin]

"It was fine, Lieutenant" the Major replied. "Though I'm happy to be back." he added. While he didn't exactly consider this place to be home (For two separate reasons: It wasn't Virginia, or there weren't enough Marines around), it came pretty close.

Callaghan was also happy to learn that nothing had changed in regards to his ID and his room assignment. Not that he had used his room at the SGC very often as he had begun renting a house in Colorado Springs within a year of joining the programme. One that he still had. "Well, I've never really had many complaints before. I'm not usually the one that has to look at the damn photo" he joked.

He took the swipe card and stowed it in one of his chest pockets. He knew what Blackbird was. In general terms, at least. Blackbird was Wolfpack's sister team, in a way. "Right then. One question, Lieutenant. The Blackbird bunker. Where the hell is that? I've never even heard of the place" he spoke out.

[Mim]

 "Neither do I." She hadn't even glanced at her own ID card since she was upgraded from 2nd Lt to 1st, but then that wasn't all too long ago. But for a young woman it was saying something. "Well sir, its not the most open place of course. Just go up to level twenty one to the old storage bunker, you know the one that has its own elevator that goes all the way down to below 28. Just near the elevator door to your right is another set of doors which leads into sub level 21a, there is a short tunnel leading slightly downwards. The Blackbird bunker is at the end of that." She avoided the girlish giggle though, but reassured him. "Not many have Major."

[Justin]

"Alright, Lieutenant, thank you" the Major said. That part of the base was either recently added, or never had the need to know. He suspected it was the latter.

"Just a two more things, Lieutenant" he stated. "First, would you be able to tell me if I can secure a squadbay for my team? It doesn't have to be big, but I'd like a specific place to stow our equipment. Preferably some desks, lockers, and maybe some bunks" he explained.

"Lastly, my team has already arrived. If you could get me a few minutes with the boss, it would be much appreciated." Subconsciously he began holding up 2 fingers now. He didn't know where he had picked it up, but at one point during his career he had begun doing it.
