A/N: So again I should really be doing uni work or sleeping for that matter but instead I am lying in bed writing another chapter for my lovely readers. I hope you all enjoy this chapter and are thinking of me when I have to stay up into the early hours of the morning finishing homework that I should be doing instead of this. Oh and I am Australian so I may use a few aphorisms that don't really fit into the American language but I don't really know what is and isn't, if you notice anything obvious let me know so I can change it. Also I don't pretend to know a great deal about medical treatments, I am however a nursing student and have a little bit of knowledge hiding in my grey matter somewhere.


"Get me four bags of heated fluids now. Teal'c I want you to move Colonel Mitchell away from the others. As far as I can tell his injuries aren't that bad."

Teal'c simply bowed his head, bent down to pick Cam up and followed the Doctors hastily yelled orders. Gently he lifted the man, careful not to disturb the IV line that one of the medical staff had just put in his arm and then put him down on a tarp and began covering him with heated blankets.

He turned and saw that Daniel was still standing where he had been when they first saw their team, he wasn't sure if he was in shock but he needed to snap him out of his reverie. "Daniel Jackson I require your assistance." Unfortunately, Daniel didn't show any signs that he had heard Teal'c speak. "Daniel Jackson!"

Daniel hadn't heard Teal'c call him the first time, but when he heard his name it was much closer than he expected. For such a big guy, he sure could move quietly when he wanted too.

Turning his face towards Teal'c all he managed to mumble was, "hmm."

Teal'c raised an eyebrow in question. "Daniel Jackson we need your assistance."

Daniel turned towards Teal'c and began walking towards the others, his legs appearing to be moving of their own free will, as if it was pre-programmed into them to help the others. After fifteen years in combat with these people, his help is the least he could offer.

Teal'c seemed pleased with his actions, Daniel had snapped out of whatever trance he was in and was ready to offer his help to Dr Keller and her team.

"What do you need?"

Jennifer chanced a glance up at the man standing above her before her training kicked in and spoke for her, "I need you to assess Vala and if she seems relatively okay move her over to the tarp with Cam." She didn't wait for a reply and Daniel didn't offer one, they both just went straight onto doing what needed to be done.

He bent down next to Vala and started examining her, he began with her back and her legs, knowing he would have to wait until she was moved to do the rest because she was huddled into Sam's back and had wrapped herself precariously around her. Finding no obvious signs of injury on her rear, he carefully knelt next to Vala and reached over her to untangle her from Sam. He looked over at Jennifer, she and her team were working on the mystery woman who was curled up to Sam's front and trying, unsuccessfully, to insert an IV into both women. "Am I okay to move her?"

Jennifer handed her equipment over to the nurse behind her, encouraging her to try inserting the line, with any luck she would get it in. Certain everyone would do what they had to, she made her way over to Daniel.

"Can you see any injuries?"

He shook his head. "Not that I can see, but I can only reach her back and legs I need to de-tangle her from Sam first." Jennifer nodded her head once, clearly weighing up their best options in this situation.

"Alright, I'll give you a hand but we have to be careful, they all seemed to be protecting Sam. I think she is most likely to be the injured one. We'll have to tread carefully with these three."

Daniel moved closer to Vala, he once again reached over her and grabbed her right arm, she had it held protectively on Sam's right side, just above the bottom of her rib cage. He grabbed her wrist and slowly began lifting her arm off of Sam and guiding her shoulder towards the ground. At the same time Jennifer was placing a spine board behind Vala ready to roll her onto it.

The first thing he noticed when he touched her was that she was very cold; the second thing was that her arm was sticky. He pulled his hand away once she was safely lying on the spine board and turned it over.

"Shit, she's bleeding Jennifer!" She looked up and noticed the crimson stain now covering Daniel's hand. She picked up Vala's arm and began examining her for any obvious bleeding wounds, and found none.

"It's not her blood as far as I can tell." The both immediately looked over at Sam and noticed a large stain on Sam's ribs that had been covered by Vala's arm. "I need some gauze over here, lots of gauze." Jennifer had gone straight to Sam and was checking the wound, she couldn't see where it finished, but it started just below her right breast and went diagonally down her chest and towards her left hip. There were clear signs of infection around the wound, it had worrying amounts of pus visible and was very inflamed.

As one of the members of SG-4 came over with a medical kit, Daniel began opening the packets of gauze and handing them over to Jennifer so she could put pressure on the wound.

"Captain Williams." Jennifer addressed the woman who had brought the med kit over.

"Yes ma'am?" Jennifer thrust her chin towards Vala.

"I need you to get help and move her out of the way and get me another spinal board ASAP." The Captain ran over to Teal'c and the two of them walked straight over to Vala and picked her up.

Once they put her next to Cam, Captain Williams bought the spinal board back to the Doctor. Doctor Keller absently took the board from the Captain, instead focusing her attention on Daniel.

"Thanks. Daniel I need you to take over here, my hands aren't big enough to be doing any good. Can you do that?"

Daniel's eyes popped open, he hated the thought of Sam's life in his hands. What if he did something wrong? He knew that he couldn't think like that and if Sam ever heard him say that she would tell him out right that she puts her life into his hands every time they go on a mission together. It's part of the job.

"Daniel I really need you to do this, I need to assess the rest of her injuries before we move her. I need to know it's safe."

Daniel didn't know how she seemed so calm, not that it's a bad thing in this kind of situation, but he hadn't come to expect it from her. She was always a little bit unsure of herself. I guess Sam taught her more than she thought she did.


A/N: Okay so what do you think? I hope you all enjoyed, you got an extra-long chapter out of me this time, this chapter could have gone on to be much, much longer and it was bt with the help of my lovely beta, I decided to split the chapter into two. I will be posting the other half in a few days, I won't keep you waiting for too long. I'm not that cruel.
