Chapter One: How It All Began

"Receiving GDO code! Its SGA-1 they're coming in hot." Came the alarms.

"Open the gate!" Dr. Elizabeth Weir shouted. The force field around the gate dropped, the team stepped through firing at the gate. Something didn't quite seem right to Weir. "What happened?" The teamed turned round to face her. John swayed a little.

"Colonel Sheppard?" Teyla asked. John tried to focus on her, unsuccessfully.

"I'm fine I just feel a little…" Suddenly John fainted.

"McKay to Beckett we need a medical team." They all crowded around John. Teyla rested her hand on his forehead.

"He is burning up. John? Can you hear me John?" Soon Beckett arrived and took John down to the labs.

Before leaving he whispered in Teyla's ear: "Don't worry lass I'll look after him."

"What happened?" Weir asked when they wear all seated round the conference table.

"It was a routine mission and the Wraith showed up end of story, end of tale."

"Rodney!" Liz exclaimed exasperated.

"Colonel Sheppard did not come into contact with anyone or anything. We stayed close together constantly. If he were to be infected we would be as well."

"Thank you Teyla. Have you anything to add Rodney?" McKay shook his head.

"I don't understand what could've affected John. I mean like Teyla said we should be just like him – ill…"

"Beckett to Weir."

"Go ahead." Weir looked down to her lap.

"I need you all to report to the infirmary immediately. Its about Colonel Sheppard."

"We'll be down their momentarily Weir out." Weir looked across the table. "It looks like we're about to find out." They all stood and prepared to make their way to the infirmary.

"Thank you for coming." Carson told them when they arrived on the scene.

"What is wrong?" Carson shuffled nervously. "Dr. Beckett?"

"The Colonel's stable but he's lapsed into a coma. I'm afraid I can't do anything for him."

"Carson, what caused his coma?"

"From what I can tell, he brushed up against a plant."

"We all brushed up against plants what's your point?" Rodney was getting agitated at a glare from both Teyla and Weir he bit his tongue.

"This plant cut both his trouser and skin."

"How do you know this was the cause?" Weir asked him.

"Because both of you are fine. Besides this is the only external injury we can find."

"Is there no way to help him?" Teyla looked across towards the bed John was in. He looked so peaceful but the machines made him look weak.

"I'm afraid if he's to wake he has to do it on his own."
