RATING: PG-13


Life Supports

Lieutenant Scott tells the team of soldiers and scientists to spilt up into groups of 3. They are going to search the spaceship, and see what's what.

Scott takes Hunter Riley and Vanessa James with him, as they search a room by room. Vanessa and Scott were having a secret relationship back at the Icarus base, and as they begin to search, Scott tries to talk to Vanessa about it, but Vanessa stops him, by telling him that she didn't want to talk about it now.

Scott keeps quiet and he begins to think about Colonel Young. He remembers seeing him bleeding, and his chest was in pain. Scott tries to understand what he is feeling, but he knows that he is not gay. Damnit, he is in a relationship with Vanessa for god's sake. He shakes his head, and focuses on the search once again.

After finding a large room with a large room with a dome shaped-glass, and there is a massive breach in the section, and it seems to be poorly patched up with a forcefield. The doors is quickly closed, and they return to the gate room.

Rush is there, announcing that he has used the Ancient communication stones, which allows him to take over someone's body, back on Earth, to communicate with them. Rush tells Scott and the rest that he has spoken with General Jack O'Neill, who put him in charge.

There are a few arguments, and Scot has had enough. He steps up and in no terms, tells Rush that he was placed in charge by Colonel Young, and unless he tells differently, Scott is going to stay in charge.

Rush is rather taken aback, and mutters a few words, before agreeing.

Scott, Rush and Eli return to the control room. They soon realize that there are lot of leaks over the spaceship, causing the life supports to be not working properly. The leaks need to be fixed.

A search team radios through to Scott, telling him that they have found two Ancient shuttles, and that the doors to one of the Ancient shuttles to be not working.

Eli, Scott and Rush goes to see, and they soon realize that they need to close the doors properly, to allow the life supports to work for one extra day.

TJ radios through to Scott, informing him that Colonel Young has awakened, and wanted him to report to him. Scott tells her that he will be there shortly.

He turns to Eli and Rush and asks them if they can close the doors.

Rush tells Scott that someone needs to be in the room to close the door. It soon dawns on him that if someone decides to stay back in the room, it is without a doubt that they will die within a few minutes.

Scott groans, and goes to Colonel Young's room. Suddenly, he feels nervous about seeing his Colonel…'damnit, why do I keep thinking that the colonel is my colonel?' he thinks to himself, as he steps in the room.

Colonel Young looks up, and smiles. Suddenly, Scott feels like he is floating, his heart soaring at seeing the Colonel, forgetting that TJ is in the room with them. He finds himself wanting to kiss Colonel Young, and he shakes his head, snapping out of it. He is not gay, Scott reminds himself, as he forces himself to listen to Young.

Scott soon brings Colonel Young up to speed with what's happening on the spaceship. He tells him about the ancient shuttle, and that someone needs to stay back in the room, to close the doors.

"I will do it." Young tells Scott, who is startled, and gawps at Colonel Young.

"Like hell you are, Sir." Scott tells Young, angrily, "I'm not letting you kill yourself."

Young looks up, surprised at the anger in Scott's voice, and he finds himself wondering what bought it on, and was about to tell him, when Geer radios through to tell Scott that Senator Armstrong is at the shuttle.

Scott orders TJ to keep Young in the room, and to not let him go. Scott rushes to the shuttle, to find Armstrong already in the room. He closes the doors, and his daughter, Chloe is screaming, with Scott struggling to hold her back.

They watch Senator Armstrong die, and Scott finds himself feeling relived that Colonel Young is not in there. He quickly shakes his head, he must not be selfish. He is not in love with Colonel Young, and he keeps repeating it over and over in his mind, while holding Chloe in his arms.
