Van Diemen's Land
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Okay, Carter. How long more do we have to stay here?" Jack asked.
"Umm..." Sam checked her watch, "A couple of hours, sir."
Jack groaned. "Doesn't Daniel ever get tired of playing with rocks?"
"They're not rocks, sir. They're artifacts." Sam grinned.
"Yeah, yeah." Jack waved an impatient hand. "Daniel!" He yelled at Daniel, who was crouching
down by a wall that he claimed was 'interesting'.
"Hmm?"
"Get on with it!"
"Jack, have you seen this writing? It's amazing! I think it might be writen by the Ancients, which
would mean that they'd been here, which in turn would mean that we might find some way of
contacting them here." Daniel did his 'this is the biggest discovery of the millennium' act.
"That's great, Daniel, but we're only five feet from the gate, and I don't think that classifies as
'exploring'."
"I agree with O'Neill, Daniel Jackson. The object of this mission was to 'explore' the planet."
"Fine." Daniel sighed resignedly.
"That's the right response, Daniel. Let's go." Jack grinned happily as Daniel glared at him.
The planet (Z6B211) was a desert, with ruins sticking out of sand at intervals along the horizon.
The weather was sweltering and Sam had to keep stopping to wipe the sweat out of her eyes.
She paused again and Jack turned round.
"You okay, Carter?"
"Yes, sir. It's just a bit hot here."
"You got that right, Sam." Daniel said. He sneezed. "Too much dust."
"Yeah, well it's only one more dune..." Jack said, "...or two..." He shrugged. "Either way, it's not
far."
"Yeah, Jack. Whatever." Daniel sneezed again.
"O'Neill, I believe that you should turn around." Teal'c said.
"What?" Jack demanded, turning round. "Oh."
"Huh?" Daniel said.
"Sir?" Sam asked.
They both turned round just as the burning effigy of a person turn into a blue burst of light. It sped towards Sam.
"Carter!" Jack shouted.
Sam tried to throw herself out of the way of the light, but she was too slow. The light struck her
and she was thrown backwards.
"Carter!" Jack yelled again and spun round to see what had sent the light at Sam. There was
nothing there. Daniel ran over to Sam.
"Sam! Sam, say something!"
Sam lay sprawled on the ground, a huge gash on her head.
"Carter!" Jack ran over to her.
"I don't think she's got any broken bones, but she's losing a lot of blood." Daniel told Jack.
"Daniel, dial the gate." Jack said. Daniel sat and looked at Sam. "Daniel, dial the gate for crying
out loud!"
Daniel scrambled up and ran back over the sand to the gate. Teal'c stepped forward.
"Shall I carry Major Carter through the stargate, O'Neill?" He said with no show of emotion in
his voice.
"No, Teal'c. I can do it." Jack scooped Sam up and ran as fast as he could without hurting her.
Daniel ran through the gate ahead of Jack and called for a medical team. Janet ran forward and
tried to take Sam from Jack, but he wouldn't let her go.
"Colonel, we need to take her up to the infirmary." Janet pleaded with him to let go.
The rest of the team arrived with a trolley and Jack placed Sam gently on it. Janet began to walk
away with it when she turned and walked back to Jack,
"We'll do all we can, sir."
"I know."
Daniel walked over to stand by Jack.
"She's in good hands, Jack." He said quietly. Jack nodded and strode after Janet.
"SG1," General Hammond spoke from the control room, "Debriefing in 1 hour." He sighed.
He wasn't a supersticious person, but he had had a feeling before this mission that it would signal
the end of SG1. It looked like he might be right.
