"Jack, please, don't leave me!"

"Domata."

Major Carter moved aside and Teal'c moved forward and slung Jack over his shoulder. He carried him to the alcove that they had seen earlier and set him inside. Daniel and Teal'c propped O'Neill up and stepped back.

Ice formed around Jack and when it set and cleared he was staring out with a tragically sad look on his face.

Sam stepped forward and placed her bare hand on the ice, as if to touch him in what seemed a final good-bye.

Daniel stepped forward and pulled her back with one arm wrapped around her shoulder and the other on her arm. "Come on, Sam, we have to go."

"We can't just leave him Daniel."

"MajorCarter, DoctorJackson is correct, we must leave. O'Neill is not dead. We will find a way to assist him."

"Teal'c is right, Sam. Remember, Domata means sleep. He'll be safe until we find a way to help him. The faster we leave, the faster we find Atlantis and a way to wake him."

Sam nodded and reluctantly allowed herself to be led out of the chamber, but not before giving Jack on last look over her shoulder. "I will come back, Jack, remember we never leave a man behind."
