TITLE: Tears

SPOILERS: Meridian is the main one but it relates to a lot other episodes as well.
SEASON/ SEQUEL: It's set kinda a few months after meridian so.
RATING: PG (to be on the safe side)
SUMMARY: Sam is suffering from an illness that threatens everything.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: ok, this is chapter 2 and still not a lot happening but please be patient and PLEASE review. This is my first fic and I could do with the encouragement.
The three travellers emerged on the other side of the Stargate. The sky was blue and the sun shone. All that could be seen was lush green vegetation with the most beautiful mountains off in the distance to the east. The main thing they noticed on this stunning planet was the heat.
"Wow!" exclaimed Jack. "Sure is hot out here."
"Indeed, the temperature of this planet is considerably higher than that of earth." confirmed Teal'c
"Carter?"
"Sir?"
"We gonna be in trouble with this heat?"
Carter pulled out a device and studied it carefully before looking at her watch.
"No sir, since it's past peak temperature it shouldn't get much hotter."
"Well then, it's off to work we go, hi-ho, hi-ho..." Jack started to sing in a miserable voice as he set off in the general direction of the mountains.
"I do not understand this song." Teal'c stated with a bemused look.
"How long have you been on earth and you still haven't heard of Snow White?" Jack continued to walk as Teal'c joined him. Teal'c raised a curious eyebrow and looked at Jack. Carter followed close behind.
"Are we walking comfortably children?" asked Jack in an overly patronising voice. "Good! Then I'll begin. Once upon a time..."
The three carried on walking into the forest in the direction of the mountains as Jack told his embellished version of Snow White, frequently being corrected by Carter and even more frequently having to stop to explain to Teal'c that it was a fairy tale and, therefore, not true.
**********
They reached the disused mine shaft just as Jack finished telling the story. Jack waved an arm in the air to the four men who were stood loading some rocks into a cart.
"Bright, Sharp, May, Dover." Jack addressed the men nodding at each one in turn.
"Colonel, you picked a nice day for it." Major Bright glanced at they sky. "This is the hottest it's been since we got here."
"Great! Not only do I get to lug honkin'' big rocks but I get to boil alive while I do it!" Jack shook his head. "So where's this naquata gizmo for Carter to play with?" Lieutenant Sharp grinned broadly, he was young and this was his first mission, he was clearly over excited by the discovery.
"Its incredible Major!" he said excitedly. "It looks like it can refine any naquata compound to produce pure naquata, just like the one that you are working on." Carter smiled faintly.
"Lead the way."
"You kids have fun. Don't worry about us!" Jack called after Carter and Sharp. Carter shot him a sarcastic glance. "So... where do we start?" Jack looked round as he said this.
"We just brought some compounds to the surface so we had better go and find one more cartload before we are scheduled to leave."
The three members of SG-6 led the way into the shaft followed by Teal'c and then Jack who was muttering phrases such as: "over qualified" "stupid rocks" "damned mining" and "Carter's sweet job".
