SG-1 had returned to active duty and resumed their ongoing quest to search for technology to rid the galaxy of the Ori threat. At first, they went through without Sam as she had broken both her hands in the rage-driven attack of her wall and had to be pulled from active duty for two months. During that time she received psychiatric treatment for her nervous breakdown and was prescribed pills to help her to sleep.
To replace Daniel, and to a lesser extent Sam, Jonas Quinn was reinstated into the team and worked with them enthusiastically as he had missed his time with the team. Teal'c, Cam and Vala were friendly towards him, despite missing Daniel terribly, although Jack treated him coldly as he had still not forgiven the Kelownans for what they had done.
Jack was ordered to return to D.C. due to the impracticalities of the head of Homeworld Security staying at the SGC for a long time, but he kept in regular contact with Landry, wanting to know of any developments of the ongoing search for Daniel. Despite the search not officially being a top priority, it was unofficially the SGC's top priority, and he'd be damned if they thought any less of it.
The Odyssey regularly flew over various planets, scanning for the signal emitted by Daniel's subcutaneous transmitter, but they had not had any luck so far, which was a cause of frustration to everyone involved.
Her hands healed, although much of the bruising remained, Sam was allowed to return to SG-1, on a trial basis. She had come to accept Daniel's disappearance so soon after his disappearance at the hands of Adria, and she became determined to find him. There was some consternation in the upper echelons of power that she should be allowed out there but Hutchison felt that that was what she needed, and that staying cooped up in a padded room would slowly kill the Colonel.
Sam easily slipped back into her friendship with Jonas, despite him being there as a result of Daniel being missing again, and she managed to distract herself from her inner maelstrom by joining in with the team's joking, rare as that was now.
This was relatively new to Vala as she had only been on the team some months, and she didn't like it one bit. Her friend, the only one to believe in her potential, was out there and they were helpless. She had heard whisperings of his reasons for running away like he did, and it caused her grave concern to have Sam back on the team, the very woman that had driven him away by getting kissed by Jack. Vala kept her thoughts to herself though as she was well aware that misunderstandings happened, but she couldn't help thinking that that was the worst possible one to happen, especially after everything Daniel had been through.
