What Life Throws At You - Part One Accidents Happen When You Play With
Aliens.
"Unscheduled off world activation." Sounded the alarms around the SGC.
"Close the iris." General Hammond ordered as he strode into the control room.
"No need sir, it's SG-1." The technician advised.
"They're not due back for another eight hours." He said. He grabbed the microphone. "Medical team to the embarkation room." Hammond knew that when SG-1 arrived back early or late there was a medical emergency.
Dr Daniel Jackson was the first through, he looked in one piece, Daniel was usually the one injured. He turned to see Teal'c with Major Samantha Carter over one shoulder and supporting Colonel Jack O'Neill with the other arm.
"Close the iris." Daniel yelled.
"Let me take a look." Dr Janet Fraiser rushed up the ramp as Teal'c laid Jack down and took Sam off his shoulder.
"We found them on the ground they have been semi-conscious since Dr Fraiser." Teal'c announced.
"They're freezing. Let's get them to the infirmary, we need some warm blankets."
"What happened Dr Jackson?" Hammond demanded.
"I don't know. Teal'c and I were examining an artifact with a Goa'uld script about a hundred meters from the gate. Sam was taking soil samples and Jack was checking the area. We heard Sam scream so we raced back and they were gone. We looked around in the trees and found them on the ground. They were cold and semi-conscious. We brought them back straight away." Daniel explained.
"General Hammond I concur with Daniel Jackson's account of events."
"General Hammond permission to." Daniel started.
"Go, we'll debrief later." He instructed and they all made their way to the Infirmary.
"Dr Fraiser?" Hammond asked.
"They're stable. From what I can tell they a very mild case of hypothermia, so we're warming them up with warm saline and blankets. Daniel were they in water or snow or anything that would lower their body temperature?"
"No. Sam screamed and we found them five minutes later. It was a warm sunny day."
"Doctor when will they be lucid enough to tell us what happened?" General Hammond asked.
"Right now I've had to sedate them to allow us to warm them up without them fighting us. It's going to take at least another two hours to get their temperatures back to normal. We have to do it slowly so not to send them into shock." She explained. "Then I'll see about taking them off the sedatives if I can't find anything else wrong with them."
"Let me know as soon as they wake up."
"Yes sir. If you'll excuse me I need to get back."
"Dr Jackson, Teal'c we'll postpone the debrief until tomorrow, when hopefully Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter will be ready to join us."
"General Hammond I request permission to return to PX20791 to retrieve our belongings. We left in a hurry."
"Teal'c I cannot authorize that until we know what happened to the Colonel and Major Carter."

"Mmm." Sam stirred.
"Janet I think she's waking up." Daniel called. "Hey Sam how are you feeling?"
"Cold." She mumbled.
"Hey." Janet said as she reached the bed. "Welcome back. I just need to take your temperature." She placed a thermometer in her ear. "Good your temperatures back to normal."
"What happened?" Sam asked.
"Teal'c and I found you and Jack unconscious. Janet says you both have mild hypothermia." Daniel explained.
"We've been warming you up since you got back. I can't find anything else wrong with either of you." Janet continued. "Can you tell us what you remember?"
"For cryin' out loud can someone turn up the heat in here." A voice that could only be Jack O'Neill sounded.
"I think Jack's awake." Daniel pulled back the curtain between the two beds.
"Colonel, how are you feeling?" Janet asked.
"Cold." He replied.
"Lieutenant can you get me some more blankets." Janet instructed.
"Yes ma'am."
"Is Carter?"
"I'm fine sir." Sam interrupted. The Lieutenant returned with more blankets. Janet handed one to Daniel, which he placed over Sam while Janet threw the extra blanket over Jack.
"Colonel, General Hammond is on his way down." The Lieutenant announced.
"Great. So Doc what's wrong this time, some alien virus?" Jack asked.
"You have mild hypothermia, we've got your temperature back to normal. We run all the test we can think of and we can't find anything else wrong with you. I want to keep you both in here over night and then I'm not returning you to active duty until at least the end of the week."
"Doc!" Jack protested.
"Do as Doctor Fraiser says Colonel or I'll restrict you to paperwork duty for the next month." General Hammond said as he entered the infirmary.
"Yes sir." Jack replied.
"How are our patients Dr Fraiser?" He inquired.
"Their temperatures are back to normal, all the test are clear. Apart from being slightly cold they are in perfect health."
"So Colonel can you tell me what happened?" He turned back to Jack.
"I don't remember much. I was talking to Carter and then Teal'c was looking over me and then I woke up here."
"Major do you remember anymore?"
"Yes sir. I was collecting soil samples and Colonel O'Neill was making a comment about the trees and I wasn't really listening but he suddenly stopped in the middle of a sentence. So I turned around to see what was wrong, but he'd disappeared. I opened my mouth to call out to him but all that came out was a scream."
"That would be what Teal'c and I heard." Daniel interrupted.
"The next thing I remember" Sam continued. "was waking and feeling slightly claustrophobic, it felt like I was in a sarcophagus and Colonel O'Neill was shaking, so I hugged him to warm him up. The next thing I remember was waking up here."
"Did you say sarcophagus Major?" Hammond asked.
"Yes sir. That's what it felt like."
"And you have no idea what happened?"
"No." She replied.
"That's enough, General, they need to sleep. If their temperatures remain stable they can leave tomorrow. You can talk to them before I send them home."
"So we put this down as an unknown cause. SG-3 will be sent through to retrieve the equipment you left behind, if the probe shows it's safe to do so. SG-1 you are officially on down time until Dr Fraiser clears Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter for duty."
"Unscheduled off world activation." Sounded the alarms around the SGC.
"Close the iris." General Hammond ordered as he strode into the control room.
"No need sir, it's SG-1." The technician advised.
