Though instructed to ensure she was examined by medical professionals, Major Carter's distress easily swayed Teal'c from his mission. While he watched her in the courtyard, her eyes darted and skipped over the crowded green, clearly overwhelmed. More alarming to him was her distraction. Major Carter by her nature spoke decisively- to see her cast about for words was proof that she was not as unaffected by her experience as she had claimed in the tunnels.

"Daniel Jackson," he hailed over the small radio in his ear.

"Yeah, T, go ahead." Daniel Jackson's voice crackled and popped, the signal distorted by the walls of the building and the tunnels below.

"Our destination has changed. We will rendezvous at the place of our entrance to the hospital." Teal'c was already moving towards the front of the building, guiding Major Carter beside him. She no longer resisted.

"Yeah, that's fine, we're almost done here. We'll find you. Jackson out."

Under Teal'c's hand, tremors shuddered across Major Carter's frame as they moved up the stone steps to the front door. They subsided somewhat when he lent her his heavy jacket, and ceased entirely when she rested against him. When her breaths deepened into sleep, he was assured he had made the correct choice in acquiescing to her request.

Great abuse had been visited on his teammate. He scanned her for signs of apparent injury, but found nothing grave. Most apparent to him were the wide bands of raw, reddened skin across her wrists, which he had spied when she slipped her arms into his coat. They clear signs of prolonged struggle against medical-grade restraints. He recognized them from the few times he'd been restrained against his will at the SGC. His symbiote healed them in a matter of hours; Major Carter's would linger far longer. Nevertheless, Teal'c had no doubt Major Carter would recover from this ordeal. She was a fierce warrior of strong mind. Resilience was a common trait among the Tau'ri, particularly those within the SGC.

His arm tightened around his friend's shoulders. Major Carter slept on, oblivious of his attention or pensive musings, peaceful in her exhaustion. Teal'c turned his attention outwards, carefully on guard. Several agencies still combed the facility for any further threats; Teal'c did not know any of the civilian defense groups, and trusted no one outside SG-1. It was uncertain how deep the NID's reach extended. Should any enemy come near, he would not be caught unawares.
