Buffy was just finishing up a work out with Colonel Dixon, when she noticed General Hank Landry enter the gym. She continued about her business assuming he was here for the Colonel but when he just returned the salute and dismissed the Colonel she stopped.

"General, can I help you?" Buffy inquired. "Have been able to get either Col. Mitchell or Col. Carter back yet?"

"We have not." The General answered. "That is actually why I'm here. I didn't want you to find out from the gossips but Dr. Jackson has been shifted out of phase as well."

"What?" Buffy exclaimed.

"Dr. Jackson had been working with Carter to translate the Ancient on the other side, when Dr. Lee tried something and Dr. Jackson went out of phase." Landry explained. "There is some good news, Dr. Jackson is now in the same phase as the Ancient and should be able to translate it that much quicker."

"I'm sure he and Col. Carter will be able to figure it out." Buffy tried to reassure herself. "May I go to the lab? I know I can't do much but I'd like to be there when this gets figured out."

"I see no reason why you couldn't." Landry said. "Come on I'll walk you there."

They left the gym and went to Dr. Lee's lab. Landry got a report and reiterated his threat to Dr. Lee before leaving. Buffy found a seat in a corner and just sat there. She found Daniel's note book open on the counter and took it to her corner. Daniel wouldn't need it he knew Ancient off the top of his head.

Buffy started to study the language from the notes Daniel had made. Some people complained about a lack of organizing principle to the notes, but Buffy understood how they were organized.

After a few minutes, as fascinating as the notes were she couldn't concentrate on learning a new language. She set the book aside and thought about her situation. She was pregnant and her boyfriend was currently out of phase. This would only happen to her. Daniel had suggested moving in together before and Buffy had resisted the idea but it might be a good one after all. She realized that General Landry hadn't had to tell her about Daniel being out of phase because she had no real legal status. If something worse happened to either one of them, and face it with their histories it was a real possibility, the other should have some sort of legal standing. She'd mention it to Daniel when he got back.

As soon as Buffy reached this decision, there was a flash in the lab, Daniel and Carter were back. After the General and Dr. Lee finished interrogating Daniel about what he read, Daniel reached a hand to Buffy and they left the lab.
