Camera now in john Chamber talking to Carter
John throw some papers on his desk and talk to Carter:" might someone explain exactly how this happen?"
Carter : I don't know sir, really he was fine next thing I know he collapse on the floor , and some blood got out of his ears suddenly , the doctors , did not find anything physically wrong with him , but his status keep getting worse.
John: " what are our options, did you try talking to zalanka ?
Carter : " if we can establish a communication line with earth or the Pegasus galaxy , I believe we might have a chance"
John : tell zalanka to keep trying , I want this communication issue fixed. And keep us in orbit ,till we know what is down there.
Carter : ok captain I will help too.
Back in the engineering section .
Carter :" zalanka , how are we doing ?
Zalanka: well we have power , but what ever power we have is not enough to cover that kind of distance in our life time at least.
Carter :" what are our options?
Zalanka :" in the Pegasus galaxy , Rodney created a series of star gates to link earth to Pegasus, but here , I don't know how really.
Carter: zalanka , he is in a really bad shape , and we need earth help to fix him.
Everyone is silent with desperation figure .
Back to sheapard in the meeting rrom talking with Strogar.
Sheppard :" well , we are out , but we need yout help again "
Strogar :" indeed you do , again"
Teyla :" one of our colleague is very sick , and we don't know what is wrong with him "
Strogar :" sickness? What kind ?
Sheppard :" the kind that kills you"
Teyla : : bleeding ears…
Strogar : he is unconscious isn't he?
Teyla :" uhm… yes, how did you know:?
Strogar :" scan the back of his head, right under the crane"
Sheappard :" what is happening to Rodney ?"
Strogar :" he has being infected.
Teyla :" with what?"
Strogar :" worms …
Sheppard :" they can infect humans?
Strogar :" why you thought we and everyone fled the city there? Of course they do , we produce energy , they feed on it "
Sheppard : how we take it off?
Strogar :" I am afraid you can not.
Back in zalanka lab
Zalanka :" I found some small worms in the column, but inside the bones, growing slowly , about 5 mm, each , I count about 6 so far , "
Carter : how we take them out.
Doctor in the bay :" I can try medically , but no guaranty "
Zalanka :" they are like advance goaoold , they position themselves inside and feed on him they can not be removed unless he is dead.
Carter:" zalanka , another question , how did he get infected?
The camera fades to john chamber talking to zalanka
Zalanka : sir , there is no way I know that we can communicate with earth at this point
John : can we land on the planet yet?
Zalanka , yes I located a stargate near the place we can land and establish base. As well on the remote side of this planet , there is some sort of abandoned city , and some strange life signature , but not showable on any scan that we can recognize .
John take the phone and talk to the bridge: prepare to land as soon as possible.
John : when we land I want you to examine the stargate , and see if we can dial earth from it ,
Zalanka , will do sir.
The camera fades to the landing , it is shown on camera with great special effects , the planet shows great nature , and very huge lake with life inside ,fishes, and others, birds , some strange crawling animals not dangerous.
The door of the ship open , and zalanka and a security team get out , as well as 2 raptors from the ship launch to back them up in case of any trouble.
Zalanka : I am on site , starting contact.
John: keep me posted all the time
Zalanka : will do sir.
Back to strogar in the meeting room .
Sheppard :" is their any way you can help us save our friend ?"
Strogar : I am sorry , but I would advice killing him yourself, and kill the worms , once they finish with him , they will move to their next victims, I am sorry to be rude but this I seen, and I lost many friends too .
Teyla : anything ? please!
Strogar :" there is something that can slow it down
Sheppard :" what?
Strogar : this is an ancient ship, it must have a hibernation chamber , put him in it , it will slow the process of aging, and give the body minimum energy , and force the worms, to go hibernation
Teyla : this might actually work
Back in zalanka lab :
John: are you sure , there is no other way?
Sheappard : not at the moment sir , it will buy us time that he desperattly need.
John:" ok do it
Carter " press a key and enter a code , and we can see Rodney body freeze in the hibernation chamber .
Carter: sir , the worms activity now is zero, they are in hibernation
John: good , now let us focus on getting communication back with earth .
Camera fades ….into the next chapter
