A/N: So I know it was more like two weeks, but I'm getting better!


Chapter 4

The remaining members of SG-1 were in the briefing room with Hammond and Thor discussing Sam's condition. Janet remained in the infirmary with Sam.

"I don't understand" Sam said, looking around blearily.

"Do you remember anything at all?" Janet asked gently.

"I remember lots of things. How to count, how to read, Air Force regulations, how to build a generator, and possibly astrophysics. But nothing specific. Nothing about who I am or any of you."

"Well, you're an astrophysicist and a Major in the Air Force so that's a start."

"You're my friend," Sam stated.

"Yes."

"What's your name? What's my name?"

"You're Samantha, or Sam, Carter. I'm Janet Frasier. We work together. Well, we both work here. I'm a doctor and you're part of a team called SG-1."

Sam shook her head in frustration. "I don't remember any of that." She paused thoughtfully. "But I'm not really afraid. I trust you, I think."

"That's good." Janet smiled at her. "If you can remember basic impressions of people then maybe your memory will return quickly."

"I hope so," Sam said quietly as drifted off to sleep again.


Jack sat with his head in his hands at the table in the briefing room. He was vaguely aware that the others were discussing Carter's "situation" but all he could hear was the dull buzz of voices. He looked up when Dr. Frasier entered the briefing room.

"It seems she has lost her memories of all personal details," Janet began. "However, she can remember basic things, such as language and math. It also seems she can remember her certain feelings towards people. Thor's device does seem to have healed her physically. As far as I can tell, she's in perfect condition.

"I think it's best at this point for her to be somewhere familiar and comfortable. I would suggest she's taken home, but she'll need someone with her at all times. I'm willing to help out as much as I can, but I have to continue to help here."

"We can take shifts," Daniel offered. "Between you, Jack, and I we'll . . ."

"I'm not leaving her," Jack interrupted. Daniel paused , no quite sure how to continue.

"It would actually be good for her to have a constant," Janet supplied. "Daniel and I can take turns checking up on them." Hammond nodded in agreement.

"Sounds good people. SG-1 is on downtime until further notice. I'll alert Teal'c to the situation as soon as he returns from visiting Bra'tac."

As they were preparing to leave Sgt. Harrison entered the briefing room. "Sir?"

"Yes?" Hammond questioned.

"The representative from the Tok'ra has arrived," Walter informed them.

Hammond sighed. "Well, you can tell them they're a bit late and to head on home."

"It's Jacob Carter, sir."

Hammond looked up from his papers. "Bring him up then."
