CHAPTER THREE

Sam, Daniel and Teal'c along with the General sat anxiously outside the infirmary before Janet came out and said," Um I think you need to see this!" The team walked in and gasped as sat in Jack's fatigues was a slim brown haired and blue eyed woman.

Janet looked shocked as she explained," I don't know what happened, there was this sudden flash of light and in the Colonel's place was her!"

Daniel walked in closer and asked cautiously," Who are you?"

The woman replied," My name is Mya!"

Sam was finding this a little hard to cope with and one look at the General she knew he felt the same way.

Teal'c said," I believe that O'Neill has had an adverse reaction to that insect bite!"

Daniel nodded and carefully examined Mya before suddenly another flash of light and a very angry looking Colonel sat looking at them all. He growled," What the hell is going on? What did those people do to me?"

Sam's head snapped up and she asked," You don't think this has anything to do with them do you sir?"

Jack nodded and said," What else could explain why I'm suddenly gender changing?" Suddenly he clutched at his head and he hissed," No..No I will not let you!" Janet pushed the members of SG1 out of her way as Jack began to shake violently, Daniel watched in horror as his friend moaned in pain and Janet struggled to calm him.

The General ordered SG1 out and once outside he demanded," What the hell is happening to him?"

Daniel answered," I believe somehow the villagers back on P3X548 have managed to place another mind within Jack's and they are fighting for control!"

The General nodded and he asked," What can we do?"

Everyone looked blankly at each other before the General said," Wait here for news and then we can work something out!"

Sam hated waiting, she wanted to know if Jack was alright and what the hell they could do to help him? She should have known was something wrong when he complained about having a headache, she looked to Daniel and smiled as he gave her a reassuringly smile. The hours seemed to tick by and the only thing that interrupted the silence was the occasional frantic yell of Janet.

A FEW MORE HOURS LATER...

Sam was woken up by a nudging of her arm, she looked up groggily but she was instantly awake as Janet stood beside her. Daniel was beginning to wake up as well groaning as his neck was very stiff and his limps complained, Teal'c uncrossed his legs and stopped his meditation.

Janet said," I managed to calm the Colonel down but it isn't looking good, the two brain patterns keep overlapping and then seperating and it's causing Jack's brain to deterioate! If this keeps up I don't know if he will ever be the same again, I'm afraid to say that as Jack and Mya struggle for control Jack's live is in danger and I did the only thing I could to slow the deterioation of his brain I induced him into a coma!"

Sam gasped and felt Daniel squeeze her hand and Janet asked," Do you want to see him?" They all nodded.

The rest of the SG1 team entered the room and each one looked aware at the sight of their friend hooked up to various machines and looking so lifeless. Daniel watched as Jack's features seemed strained even in a coma he could tell Jack was struggling to hold onto who he was. Teal'c was very disturbed to see O'Neill this way, this still shell of a man was nothing like the Jack O'Neill he had grown to respect and value as a friend. Sam took Jack's hand and was suprised at how cold it was, she couldn't help but feel contempt for the people of P3X548 for what they had done to Jack but she was sure going to find out why and make them fix it one way or another.

Sam brushed away a strand of his hair and then turned and said," I have an idea!"

Daniel and Teal'c watched as Sam marched towards the General's office and with one last look at Jack they followed.
