I see a lot in this small room.
They bring personnel here, some injured, some dying. Many are
quarantined here. A few times, people have been questioned in this room.
I can remember the Tok'ra using a zatarc detector to be sure the
people of the SGC weren't going to kill people. The first one to be
discovered agreed to go through a procedure she didn't know would end
her life. Nevertheless, the Tok'ra continued with their scans.
When they accused Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter of being zatarcs, I
must admit that I was shocked. I had always like Sam and Jack; they're
good people. Then Jack came in for the procedure, and just as they were
strapping him down, Sam and Doctor Fraiser came in and stopped
Anise/Freya. Apparently the device had thought they were zatarcs because
they had left something out of their stories. So, first Jack, and then
Sam, admitted their feelings for each other. I had always known there
was something special between them, more than just friendship, and this
confirmed my beliefs.
Then there was that terrible day that Daniel Jackson died—or ascended.
Whatever you want to call it, he still left us. He was exposed to a
lethal dose of radiation while off world. Granted, it was brave, but it
saddened us all. There is one it affected more than others, but she's
good at hiding it.
For some time after his death, she would come into this room and cry.
I would do my best to give comfort, but there's only so much a
stationary object can do. She was dying inside, and the only one who
would have understood was gone. It would often remind me of when Daniel
was sick. She would replace bandages and talk to him, willing him to
make it through. She told him she loved him and needed him to survive so
she could look into his beautiful blue eyes and tell him that.
A sob would pull me out of my reverie. She'd sniffle, sweeping the
hair off of her tear-stained face. Getting up she proceeded to wipe her
sad, dark eyes. Sighing she'd take one last look around, then leave, on
her way back to the infirmary. He had been there when Cassie got sick,
but now he wasn't any longer. I felt for her, and wished Daniel would
come back.
Teal'c lay here, too. Bra'tac put him through some Jaffa rite. I
remember the protests of Dr. Fraiser and how hard it was for Teal'c, but
he made it through.
I can't forget Jonas. Jonas Quinn, Kelownan, joined the team after
Daniel left. In the short time he was with us, I found myself beginning
to like him. He didn't spend too much time in here, and I can only
remember one instance where it was a big emergency.
He developed precognitive abilities not too long after coming
face-to-face with Nirti on a mission. Turns out, there was a tumor in
his brain, but don't worry, it was fixed!
A little while after that, Daniel Jackson returned to the SGC, and
Jonas became the liaison between Earth and his people, or so I've heard.
After Daniel came back, he was one of the first to be brought here. It
was strange. I'd never seen something so…weird. Sure, Cassie had had
some very interesting things going on when she was sick, but this
was…very strange.
Daniel was confined here for quite a while. Apparently some alien
transferred the minds of some of his people into Daniel's mind. If
you've never seen several different people share one body then think of
a schizophrenic with about six times as many personalities. Now you say
it sounds weird? You don't know the half of it. I honestly thought Janet
would cry until the whole mountain flooded.
She couldn't bear to see him like that. I even think that if Janet's
condition were critical, Daniel wouldn't know what to do. It's the same
with Sam and Jack. They would go to any lengths to save one another.
Teal'c is special to all of them, and I feel they wouldn't want to lose
him either. In the short time he was at the SGC, Jonas became a good
friend, and I know they probably wouldn't leave him behind.
They've all lain in this room at least once in the past seven years,
and all of those times, they were there for each other. They're all a
family, you could say. Once, I hear that the needs of the many outweigh
the needs of the few. But sometimes the needs of the few outweigh the
needs of the many. SG-1 lives by that every day.
