Chapter 4- Conversations

"Thoughts?" General Hammond said.

"She's telling the truth." O'Neill said simply. "On the two missions we came under surprise attacks she showed up just when we needed her. The kid defiantly has an uncannily sense of prefect timing."

"She's also got a thing 'bout telling the truth." Miller said, "She's never really been green General."

"Alright so now what do we do. We can't ask the Tok'ra to come here we've got a virus on our hands."

"Well Teal'c still hasn't shown any signs of infection." Jack offered. Just there a knock came at the door, "Come" Hammond said and one of the personal came in.

"Sir, Dr. Fraiser wants to see you in the infirmary." The three officers got up and went to the Infirmary.

"Doctor you wanted to see me?" Hammond said.

"Yes well I've got the blood test back from Lt. Steele, Col. Grayson, Major Briggs, and Cmdr. Briggs they all have had a virus run rampantly through there system and it's now out of their system, mean while everyone else is infected but they're developing the virus at a much slower pace. I'm trying to isolate the antibodies in the blood stream of the four of them. I just can't figure out what is the connection that helped them through the virus." She said.

"So what about Teal'c?" O'Neill asked.

"He's not infected, which doesn't surprise me." She said.

"So if we were to ask the Tok'ra to come would they be infected?" Hammond asked.

"No they wouldn't." She said, for a moment she was going to say she could handle the virus but then realized that Matherson must be a Zatarc, "Do you think Anise has come up with a way to help them?"

"I'm not sure but we need to know if any more personal are Zatarcs or not. I've ordered SG-4 to be confined for the time being. Now I think I'm going to have this testing done a little more frequently." Hammond said, "Now what about the four that have had the virus?"

"Well other than Major and Cmdr. Briggs I can't figure out what could possibly have caused them to get sick and well so fast. Col. Grayson is from Ohio, the Briggs are from Iowa, and Lt. Steele is from California. The Briggs are the only two related at all. I have tests being run on the protein from the blood samples looking for similar anti-bodies. It's going to take a while for it to be completed." She said as she sighed.

"Well keep up the good work Doctor." General Hammond said, "I'd rather not have whatever this is effecting the SGC to the point we can't defend ourselves."

"Aye sir." She said and turned back to her work. Miller and O'Neill nodded and began to move off, there was nothing to do but wait.

Chris lay on her cot trying to get some sleep when she heard a knock on her door.

"Come"

"Chris we've possibly got a problem on our hands." Chris didn't have to look up at the person who had entered the room to know who and what they were talking about.

"Just maybe." She said slightly more sarcastic than she wanted too. It didn't matter it was the truth they defiantly might have trouble on their hands. 'This just isn't going to be good.' She rolled over and looked at the other 'Just not good at all.'
