Daniel moved along the corridors, cursing the fact he hadn't a clue as to
where he was going. He ran up stairs and through doors, until luck brought
him to where he needed to be.
He entered the room cautiously, but inspection showed the Ultra's computer room empty. Sitting on the computer console were two cylinders, one red, and one blue. Daniel walked slowly towards it, and picked them both up, staring at them intently. There was no way for him to know if either cylinder was Sam. Turning it over in his hand, he came across a small label, written in a obscure dialect Daniel could only partly read. One word said human, he was sure. The other he couldn't tell.
The other cylinder had a similar label, the word human, with another word, different from the first. Daniel shrugged, and turned to head back to the sleep cell. Maybe Teal'c would know.

Teal'c walked back to the sleep cell with Sam, finding it easily. Moving towards the room, he heard movement. Sam he left under one of the staircases as he went to investigate. His mind knew that if Jack had been in any position too, he wouldn't have let them drag off Sam, so something must be wrong.
Inside the room, two menials were dragging off a body, and Teal'c followed, keeping a discreet distance behind. They moved through several corridors, until Teal'c could hear a loud pulsing. Entering a large room, Teal'c stopped short. A machine stood in the back, with a conveyer belt moving towards a big gaping hole in the wall. Menials stood around, fastening bodies to platforms, then they slowly moved towards the hole, disappearing into it's depths.
"Absorption." Teal'c whispered to himself, then stood to leave when something caught his eye. Jack was lying on one of the platforms, in line, ready to be absorbed. Without thought, Teal'c charged into the room, his staff weapon firing at any who tried to stop him. A stray blast caught the control panel, and with a sickening groan, the conveyer belt stopped, seconds before Jack plunged into the darkness. A menial moved towards Teal'c, and the Jaffa pushed his staff weapons into his stomach, throwing him back. The rest of the menials scattered, and a howling started to emit from the hole in the wall. As Teal'c undid Jack's restraints and heaved him onto his shoulders, the room started to shake, the howl turning into a deep throated moan. Teal'c didn't wait, but ran down the corridor, back to the sleep cell.
------
Moving hurriedly into the computer room, the Ultra's sat, panic flashing across their eyes. The first Ultra turned on a computer screen, showing the room that Teal'c had just left. Dead bodies lay across consols, and the room was almost heaving. A faint green mist was rising from the hole in the room.
"The planet." The second Ultra pushed a button, "Someone has interrupted the process. It is unstable."
"No!" The third Ultra gritted his teeth, "It is impossible. Check for malfunction."
"It is confirmed." Spoked the first Ultra, "The planet dies."
Suddenly the room rumbled, and flakes off the ceiling filtered down. The Ultra's looked at one another, speechless.
------
Teal'c and Daniel arrived at the sleep cell at the same time, both from different directions. Looking at Jack, Daniel glanced down at the second cylinder in his hand, "Why do I have the feeling he's going to be needing this." They moved into the room, strapping Jack to a bed, then Teal'c went back to retrieve Sam. When they were both firmly in place, Daniel looked at the two cylinders, then inserted them into the only place they could fit. A loud banging noise was heard, and the room shook violently for a second before settling down again. "I hope this works." Daniel took a deep breath, and turned the machine on.
While they waited, the rumblings became more frequent, and the room started to fall apart. Large cracks appeared on the wall, "Common, common." Daniel passed the room, "It's so slow."
"We should not think of speeding up the process. If the memory traces aren't implanted exactly as before they will end up with scrambled brain cells." Teal'c stood in between the two beds, his gaze firmly on Jack, but when Daniel stopped suddenly, he looked up.
"What is the matter Daniel Jackson?"
"The memory tubes. I just hope they're in the right order."
Teal'c raised an eyebrow, but said nothing, looking back down at the unconscious colonel.
The room shook again, and Daniel was thrown to the floor, just as the lights surrounding Jack and Sam dissipated.
"It is done." Without another word, Teal'c moved and unstrapped Jack, as Daniel picked himself up and undid Sam. Both were still unconscious. Teal'c once again shouldered Jack, and Daniel half dragged, half carried Sam back to the Stargate.
Once there, Daniel started dialling home, as Teal'c stood watch at the corridor. But no attack was forthcoming, as the planet slowly tared itself apart. Moments before the wormhole was established, the corridor's roof collapsed, sending both Teal'c and Daniel flying. Dust filtered down, and Teal'c got to his feet, "Daniel Jackson, are you injured?"
Daniel stood up, blood running down the side of his face from a large gash on his forehead where he'd hit the edge of the stairs leading up to the Stargate. "I'm fine." He blinked then looked up at the Stargate, which had established itself sometime during the cave in. He was lucky he hadn't been caught in the vortex as it came out.
He moved to Sam, who had the transmitter still attached to her wrist, and sent the Sg-1 code though, then grabbed her by the shoulders. Teal'c was already up on the platform, dragging Jack along. Teal'c disappeared, and Daniel struggled up the stairs, trying not to bruise Sam. Finally he reached the edge of the Stargate, wincing as another rumble rocked the room, a crack splitting from one edge of the room to the other. He stepped through the Stargate, seconds before the roof caved in, sealing the world off forever.
More coming! R&R please guys, I live on it. I'll keep posting them as soon as they come.
