Part One: Two Dr. Carter's?

"Medical Team 1 to the gate room, now! I repeat, Medical Team 1 to the gate room, now!"

The metallic sound of the gurney echoed thorough the halls in the mountain, as the nearest medical team rushed to their destination. Two doctors ran, one at each end of the metal contraption they were wheeling down the hall.

The one pushing the gurney, a man. He looked to be in his mid to late forties, a slight receding hairline, and a bit grey around the ears and small wrinkles around his eyes and mouth. A potbelly stuck out slightly from his white jacket and he somewhat wiggled when he walked. A large grin was on his red face.

"Come on Ella, pick up the pace!" He joked to the girl pulling the gurney. To say the least she looked younger, maybe in her late twenties at most. She was small but not sickly, you would probably all her petite. Her long dark brown hair was pulled back and pinned up, as to keep it out of her face. Her white lab coat was tied above her chest so only the collar was showing on her white shirt and a small bit of her knee length skirt was showing as well.

"I'm going as fast as I can Dr. Stevens but," She started to retort but was cut off when another doctor ran up beside them. "Dr. Fraiser,"

"Yes?"

"Do you know what's going on?" The woman doctor in front asked.

"No, I'm sorry Dr. Carter. All I can guess is that one of the SG teams arrived beck injured or one of the teams brought back an injured refugee."

Dr. Ella Carter just nodded as they arrived in the room. Soon, the one called Teal'c dropped a severely beaten man onto the gurney, rather roughly. He lay with his eyes closed, his body clad in a strange metal suit and what looked like a full headed skull cap made of metal covered his head.

"I demand Kel Mah!" The man's rasping voice sounded demanding, his eyes now fully I open. His voice was raspy, almost like it was hard for him to breath or he was speaking thought something that distorted his voice.

Everyone looked at Daniel, but he just shook his head. "I'm not really sure, but I think what he's asking for is…"

Teal'c spoke up quickly. "Sanctuary."

"Right." Daniel nodded.

"Why?" General Hammond asked as the medical team checked him over. Ella checked his pulse and in his ears, while Dr. Stevens check various other spots for dangerous injuries.

"I demand Kel Mah!" He spat out again, this time louder and more angrily.

"You're not in a position to demand anything, sir. Lock him up." Hammond ordered.

"Sir," Dr. Fraiser stepped forward. "With all due respect, he is badly injured. He is not going to be any good to you at all unless we get him to the O.R. right now."

"Do what you need to keep him alive, Doctor. We've got a lot of questions that need answers."

"Yes, sir." She turned towards the two doctors who were hovering around Apophis. "OK, let's move him. I'm going to start him on two IV's and run Ringer's Lactate wide open. Let's go."

Ella raised her hand off of his forehead, her eyebrows knitted together with worry. His skin was too warm. His bottom lip was split, blood covered his teeth and numerous lacerations and abrasions covered all exposed skin.

"Okay I need a CT scan, a full body x-ray and take a vial of blood for examination." Dr. Fraiser barked as the medical team and quite a few nurses moved around the infirmary. "Dr. Carter, grab the printout, that should be the results of the earlier work done."

Ella grabbed the sheets. Quickly skimming them over her worry faded. "It came back clean. Both femurs were smashed, and there was internal bleeding. Surgery and transfusions have stabilized him for now though."

"Alright, get both legs into braces and –" Dr. Fraiser stopped talking as a SF stood in the doorway. "Yes?"

"Dr. Fraiser, debriefing is in two minutes. Also General Hammond told me to escort you to meet some guests that have arrived."

"Alright," She turned towards the two doctors in the room. "Dr. Stevens, Dr. Carter, you both know what to do. Dr. Stevens, if there is an emergency I'll be in the debriefing room."

He nodded as she left, a sour look on her face. Ella continued adjusting the leg brace when the machine beside her suddenly flat lined. "Um, sir, we have a problem here."

Steven's rushed over. "Carter, go get Dr. Fraiser. If you're lucky the debriefing may not have started yet." He grabbed the phone and pressed some buttons. A voice over the intercom repeated code blue, all medical teams to the infirmary.

Ella nodded, quickly running from the room. She raced up the winding metal staircase and arrived at the room quickly. Knocking twice she heard General Hammond's loud voice tell her to come in.

"Dr. Carter? What's wrong?" Dr. Fraiser stood immediately.

"Code blue, patient has gone into cardiac arrest."

"Doctor," General Hammond started.

"Yes sir?" Ella stepped forward, as she did she heard someone gasp softly. She looked at the person who gasped and noticed a man staring directly at her, his mouth slightly open and a look of awe on her face.

To be honest it was starting to creep her out. "Why did you not use the phone to contact Dr. Fraiser?"

"I was told to come here. Dr. Stevens said you probably wouldn't have started your debriefing yet." Ella felt this mans eyes on her still and she could feel her face start to turn red. "Dr. Fraiser, I think we should go. I'm not sure how long we have."

"Alright Dr. Carter, let's go." Fraiser walked past her and before she closed the door Ella saw Colonel O'Neill turn towards her cousin.

"There's another Dr. Carter?" He asked, but Ella didn't hear Sam's answer, as she was already halfway back to the infirmary.
