Prologue
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JACK
It was a normal day. A standard mission. Travel a couple of hundred light years to a new planet, see all the lovely trees, take in the quiet scenery, look at the big old rocks, get shot at, make a run for the Stargate, go get Daniel fixed by the Doc, have a briefing and be back in time for dinner.
Or at least that's what it looked like. If only we'd known there and then…wouldn't have made any difference, I guess. But at least we would've known. I guess this isn't coming off as well as it should. Well, I'm not good at this kind of stuff. Just ask Daniel, Teal'c or Carter. Carter…now there's where the problem started. Not that it was her fault or anything. And even if it was, I could never hold anything against her…not for a long time anyway, 'cause she's Carter…and I'd do anything for that smile…

DANIEL
I still can't believe it. It started like always and ended up with me in the infirmary…like always. I look at her now and I can still remember it like it was yesterday. That fateful day where everything changed…where everything became so different. I don't think there's anything she would have done differently and I don't think any of us would ever have wanted her to. She couldn't have because that's part of what makes her who she is, it's part of what we all love about her. That caring person that makes her our Sam…

TEAL'C
Things have changed within the SGC, with SG1, with what has become my family. Major Carter has changed the most, which is to be expected given the circumstances. The decision she made, she will carry with her for the rest of her life, I believe that we all will, for our lives have changed also.
Regardless of any outcome, I do not believe that she would change her decision if given the chance to, and I would not wish her to. She is a strong person, a valuable link within our small family, someone I have come to trust and depend on and I am sure that she feels the same way. It is that which makes her stronger through this, her will to keep the family together…

JANET
Well it finally happened. I still can't believe it. I look at her and she's changed so much. I knew she would but it still surprises me just how much. Oh she's still our Sam all right, but there are noticeable differences, even if they all happened gradually. So gradually, in fact, that it was Cassie that had to point them out.
They're all reacting to it…even the General. Well of course the General, he, just like everyone else, has a good reason to. He looks on that team like a family, just like I do. But he'll stand by her…we all will. And I know that no matter how hard it is, we'll all be there for her…all of us…
~x~x~x~x~x~x~
THE GENERAL
Well it finally happened. The untouchable SG1 just got…well touched. The situation Major Carter inadvertently placed me in had me pulling more strings than a puppet master. I think I've called in more favors for SG1 than I gave done the rest of my career. But this one is slightly more serious and I pray to God that it doesn't backfire any more than it already has…and I can only hope that the Major will make it out of this one OK. 'Cause if she doesn't, Jacob will have my head…
~x~x~x~x~x~x~
SAM
I still can't believe it. Nothing's ever going to be the same again…and it's all my fault. That one decision that was made all those months ago will be with me for the rest of my life…but I don't regret it. I can't regret it. I look at the others and sometimes I wonder if they blame me, if they wished that I'd done something different, if they wished I'd said no.
But that's not me…and they know that. They know that after all is said and done, I couldn't have done it any differently. I couldn't have…
