Very nice. Supervising Spike and Illyria might give Jack a better appreciation for what Hammond went through as his commander--it can't be easy being in charge of someone who's snarky, irreverent, delights in taunting bad guys, is constantly in trouble, and doesn't always follow orders, but manages to save the world on a regular basis. I hope you decide to show us more of this universe, because I'm pretty sure Spike is going to accept the job offer.

Hm, I just wondered who you were describing - Spike or Jack...
I wrote it as a one shot. It's intended to stay like that. It's possible that I decide in the future to make a series of ficlets in this universe however.
And I have to say I like the idea of them working together, I just see the biting snark and sarcasm all around. I just remembered that I didn't give this a timesetting in the SG-verse, imagine poor Hammond with both of them and Illyria running amok in his base...
Nice work. Jack seems remarkably well informed, maybe this was after he became a general and got a wider briefing? A good example of using all the assets at hand, no matter who or what they may be.

Yeah, Jack is a pragmatic guy all in all

I liked this. It was a straight forward plot. The length worked and it ended at just the right spot. The last line was something Spike would say or think. This was wonderful as a one shot, a glimpse into another beginning. It could stay as is, but could also spawn a series of stories. Either way works, but I do admit liking "Job Offer" better as a one shot. Great job.

Thank you for your review. It's intended to stay like that. It's possible that I decide in the future to make a series of ficlets in this universe but there wont be a long story. So, should I change it, just ignore everything after chapter 1 :)
