Chapter 1 Sam POV
It was my first proper mission with the newly formed Sg1, and it wasn't going well. I crept through the under brush taking a second to look at my team, to my left was my new CO, Colonel Jack O'Neill, I knew he hated me. I could tell only tolerated me because Hammond forced me on him, but I was going to prove myself. He would come to respect me eventually.
On my right Teal'c a traitor to his people but a saviour to mine, I liked him, his honesty was refreshing. Next to Colonel O'Neill was the civilian Dr Daniel Jackson someone less trained than me but more accepted by everyone, was it because he was male? Or was it because he was on the first Stargate mission? I had to wonder.
It had been a routine mission when Teal'c spotted the Jaffa. Since then we had been undercover trying to hide from them. From behind I heard a crunch of dry wood, catching the Colonel's eye he'd heard it too signalling Teal'c to move round, while he went the other way trying to trap the Jaffa, while Daniel and I waited in the relative safety on the bushes.
All around us we heard footsteps echoing, then the bushes we were crouched in parted, left with no choice I fired standing up urging Dr Jackson to do the same. As more and more kept coming he was still fumbling with his gun and not firing, I knew I had to protect him after all he was only a civilian and had no training to rely on in case he was caught.
"Run Dr run" I ordered pushing him making like I was going to follow which I was, he did as I took out the next line of Jaffa, satisfied I had done enough I joined the run through the forest, reaching for my radio
"Sir Jaffa made us, running for the gate" I told him panting heavily, from behind a staff blast hit a nearby tree I turned firing another volley of bullets into them, several falling I could see in the clearing about 50 metres away Daniel dialling the DHD, Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c meeting him and running in my direction I started walking backwards to them still firing at the Jaffa. Out of nowhere my shoulder exploded from a staff blast, I fell onto the floor locking eye contact with Colonel O'Neill who was running for me, the Jaffa were on top of me running over the top, he was firing madly.
"GO" I yelled knowing to stay would mean death for us all; he hesitated as rough hands hauled me to my feet the world span but I knew he had to run….
"GO" I yelled again, the last thing I saw before the Jaffa knocked me out was my team retreating through the gate, before his staff connected with my head and I went into the blackness.
