The lights were almost blinding when Grace awoke in the infirmary. "Agh!"
"Hey there." Daniel said with a smile.
"Welcome to the Living Land." Vala said with a grin.
"It's 'land of the living', Vala." Daniel said with a sigh and a shake of his head.
Grace smiled softly, leaving her eyes closed. "My head hurts."
"You're probably still dealing with the effects of the siren's song."
"Song?" She asked, groggily. "Is that what it was?"
He smiled. "You've got your father's sense of humor."
She sighed. "What happened?"
"Apparently the other ship exploded."
"Really?"
He nodded. "Yeah."
"Must have been the weapon." She murmured. "Mom said that the solar energy calculations would lead them to calibrate the weapon incorrectly."
"Mom?" Vala asked, looking at her husband, curiously.
He shrugged.
Maybe she had been hallucinating, she thought to herself.
"Nick...the cabin...fire..." She said, suddenly remembering everything.
"He's fine. He's probably waiting for us in Colorado Springs." Vala said, softly.
"And the threat?"
"Probably gone once we make sure that the influence is gone from the SGC." Daniel said, reasonably.
"How could it be a foothold situation? How was the alien infiltration started?" Vala asked, confused.
"I think we'll have to figure that out, but now that we don't have the external pressure of a weapon that can obliterate life as we know it, I think we'll be able to straighten it out like we were able to clean up the NID."
Vala nodded as Grace's eyes closed again. "I think I'm going to get some more sleep..."
"Rest." Vala advised, gently. "You deserve it."
"You did great, Grace."
She managed a small smile before she closed her eyes again.
