A/N This starts off in the ninth season of SG-1 at the end of the episode The Scourge. My end of the scourge is a bit different and the story completely branches off on its own from there. This is a mainly Carter/O'neill story. I own nothing, I only wish I did. But seriously, I own nothing and mean no harm and this is done for purely entertainment purposes. This is my first attempt at a fanfiction so please read and review and please be honest (within common decency). I'm not sure if I want to keep going, I have ideas for the story line but am unsure if it would be any good. What do you think?
All they had to do was hold the bugs off until the Odyssey entered orbit and picked up the signal Sam had set up to tell the ship they were still alive. Then they would have been good to go, but they should have known it wouldn't be that easy.
Teal'c's head turned in the direction of the chirping that indicates the movement of the bugs, "They approach!"
An explosion went off behind them and they all ducked slightly. Cam looked to Sam before they started shooting for their lives and he said, "At least we know those work." Then it was nothing but machine gun fire for several seconds before the chirping began to fade again. "Well, that scared them some," said Cam looking around.
"There!" shouted Daniel, turning to face the direction the chirping was now coming from. They all turned on the spot to face the bugs with him as another explosion went off in that direction. Daniel and Teal'c started shooting, unaware of what was happening behind them. While their backs were turned and everyone was focused on the bugs in front of them, no one noticed the group of bugs coming up from behind them. The ones that managed to avoid any explosions by going through the gap created in the circle of sensors by the first explosion.
Over the sound of the machine gun fire and the explosions now going off everywhere no one noticed the chirping coming from behind Sam until the bugs were at her feet. Sam looked down, shrieked, and jumped. Immediately, she began shooting down at the bugs now surrounding her. The others, now realizing what was going on, did their best to shoot some of the bugs away as well, but there wasn't much they could do given the fact that they were so near Sam. After a few seconds some of the bugs began to crawl up Sam's legs and bite at her. It only took a few seconds more for Sam to be on the ground almost covered in bugs, screaming, and bleeding.
The others were panicked. There was nothing they could do. Teal'c and Cam began attempting to smack bugs off of her with the ends of their guns, but that was not much help. Explosions were going off everywhere and the chirping was getting louder and louder. The bugs were everywhere. All of the members of SG-1 that were still fighting were down to their handguns and everything seemed lost. Teal'c was still desperately trying to get bugs off of Sam when a sudden bright light appeared around all of them as they were transported to the Odyssey. Sam, Cam, Teal'c, and Daniel found themselves on the ship with the delegates they were protecting and probably every nurse and doctor on the ship, along with some armed guards keeping an eye out for bugs, none of the bugs came up in transport with them because of some trick an Asgard had done to the transporter technology during installation making it so that it only allowed humanoid transport.
The doctors began to swarm around Sam, who was still lying on her side covering her face with her hands, she appeared to unconscious but alive. She did, however, look like a bloody, torn-up mess and that did not encourage the other members of SG-1. A few doctors went over to the delegates who, despite a few scrapes and in one case a broken ankle, were in relatively good shape considering what they had just been through. A few more doctors and nurses began to check on Daniel, Teal'c, and Cam, but there was no need. All of them were fine and all they cared about was making sure Sam was would be fine too.
"Will Colonel Carter survive?" asked Teal'c. He had said what the other two members of SG-1 had been thinking and they all turned expectantly to face the doctors examining Sam.
The lead Doctor looked up at the three men awaiting her answer and said, "I believe so, we will need to get her into the infirmary now and then we will have to run more tests when we are back on Earth. I fear there might be side effects from the bug bites." At her words some men put Sam on a stretcher and began to wheel her out of the room. That was when Mr. Woolsey thought it would be a good idea to comment.
"Side effects? What kind of side effects? Well at least we will get something out of this disaster of a mission. Keep her in quarantine I want her loaded up and sent to Area 51 for study as soon as we get back." Simultaneously, the three members of SG-1 began to move forward and protest at the same time. Woolsey side stepped and hid behind a guard that was standing next to him. He didn't even let any of the men finish talking before he interrupted, "Gentlemen, I have the full support of the President. There is no use arguing, what I say goes and that is final!"
Daniel and Teal'c had enough experience with Woolsey to know that there was nothing they could do at the moment, so they nodded grudgingly and pulled Cam - still protesting - away from the scene and down the corridor. "What? You're not just going to let him do that to her?" Cam almost yelled after they were a few yards down the corridor.
"Of course not, Colonel Mitchel," Teal'c said in hushed tones.
"There is just nothing we can do at the moment," Daniel filled in.
"Then what are we going to do?"
"Well for starters, as soon as we get back I'm going to have to make a phone call," said Daniel mischievously before he turned the corner and disappeared into the locker room. Teal'c followed him in.
Cam stood in the hall dumbfounded for a few seconds before following and calling out, "Who are you gonna call?"
