Jack paced the room, impatient with the others to come back. Every few
moments his eyes would drift to Sam, but the captain remained sleeping, the
red pulsing light steady and constant. He turned away from her again, and
dug the base of his palm into rub a tired eye, when something grabbed him
from behind.
Jack tried to struggle, but his assailant had an iron grip. He was dragged across the room to a similar bed as Sam's, and mercilessly thrown on to it. Before he could react, the attacker pushed him down, and restraints moved from under him, strapping him tight to the bed.
His attacker, a docile looking menial, turned and left the room, as a slow pulsating red light surrounded Jack. Struggling against the restraints, he fort to stay awake. Fatigue swept over him, and it was all he could do to resist the powerful urge to sleep.
"Sleep will soon come." One of the Ultra's voice came from a source Jack couldn't pinpoint, "And when it does transference will take place. It is quite painless. You'll feel nothing.ever again."
"Yeah, first you havta make me sleep." Jack blinked hard, trying to will himself to be more alert.
"You will sleep."
"I don't plan on it."
"Do you suppose you have a choice?" Suddenly the light surrounding Jack flashed a brilliant blue, then returned to it's steady pulse. Jack watched as the roof become fuzzy, then his eyes drooped. And he slept.

"What is happening to Major Carter?" Teal'c and Daniel were hiding behind a stair case as a group of menials moved past them.
Daniel sat back, hopefully out of ear shot, "Transference. They're draining Sam's memory and personality and transferring them to a memory store... I wonder what happens to the body afterwards."
"I over heard the Ultra speak of absorption, perhaps into the plaent."
Daniel looked at Teal'c realisation dawning. If they couldn't get Sam out of the sleep cell soon, they could loose her to the planet.
He stood up, motioning to Teal'c, and they continued on.
------
For nearly an hour Daniel and Teal'c roamed the corridors and tunnels, until they finally stopped by a case of stairs, "Well, I think we're lost." Daniel stated, looking up the stairs, identical to every other staircase they had encountered thus far.
Suddenly a noise made both men look up, and they quickly moved down the corridor. Daniel spotted a door, and they moved through it, closing it behind them. They stood behind it, but whoever was outside continued on without pausing. Now that the initial threat was gone, Daniel and Teal'c looked at there new surroundings.
"Oh my God." Daniel stood in shock at the image before him. Bodies lined the wall, propped up by restraints. The room was cold, almost freezing. The realisation of what it was for came to Daniel like a slap in the face, and he was almost sick by it. "It's a storage room." It was said in a whisper, as he took in the faces of the many men and women before him.
"Daniel Jackson." Teal'c called to Daniel.
Taking one last look at the bodies before him, Daniel moved to stand beside Teal'c, then wished he hadn't. Before him was Sam. Her skin, a sickening white and her blue lips confirmed she'd been in the room long enough to freeze her. Her body was limp, her skin clammy.
"We have to get her out of here."
Teal'c moved to release Sam, and Daniel and he both moved outside, Sam's body across Teal'cs shoulders. "What do we do now Daniel Jackson?" Teal'c asked, Sam's weight seemly no hindrance to him.
Daniel looked at her a moment before answering, "We reinstate her memory."
"Can it be done?"
"I don't know. The Ultra transferred her brain patterns to a memory tube. All her thoughts, memories, emotions have been filed away. First we have to find that tube."
"Then you must find it. I will take Major Cater back to the sleep cell."
Daniel nodded, then moved off in the other direction from Teal'c.

I know they're getting shorter, but atleast they're coming! PLEASE R&R. Next chapter will be longer, I promise! (and plus, now it gets good. : D )
