Chapter 9- Preparations and departure
"I was preparing for departure, most of our comrades were falling ill, This pushed us a bit. I was preparing to leave when colonel O'Neill came to see me, it was a little surprising."
"Lt. Steele." Chris turned to face Col. Jack O'Neill.
"Colonel What's up?" Chris responded.
"Not much but I wanted to talk to you before you left." He said clenching his eyes at the pain in his head.
"About what sir?" She said, waiting to tell him to go to the infirmary.
"Your mission." He said, "I wanted to wish you good luck."
"Thank you sir, but I don't believe in luck." She said, "But I'll take the gesture as it's meant, sir."
"Okay" He said rubbing his eyes.
"I suggest sir that you go to the Infirmary soon, Sir." Chris said.
"Yeah, Yeah. I know" Jack said, "It's just."
"That you really want to go with us, because you don't feel that anyone else should risk their lives for you." Chris said with a knowing look.
"Well.yeah." He said.
"I know the feeling Sir." She said.
"Well take care, and watch Teal'c for me." He said.
"Will do sir," Chris said as Jack cringed with great pain as her fell towards the floor but before he hit Chris grabbed him stopping his fall. She then hoisted him up, finished grabbing her things, and slowly helped Jack to the infirmary. Then released him to the medics care as she left she saluted the Col, who returned the salute. Chris then worked her way quickly to the gate room and she joined Teal'c, Major Briggs, Cmdr Briggs, and Colonel Grayson.
"Lt when I say an hour I mean it." General Hammond said.
"Yes Sir," Chris said not bothering to explain why she was late.
"Why are you late?" Teal'c asked.
"Colonel O'Neill collapsed so I helped him to the infirmary." Chris said. She then took her place to wait for the gate to activate the last three Chevrons were being locked into place.
As soon as the gate opened the five stepped through the gate and went through to the other side.
'I really hate being right all the time I really, really do.' Chris thought as the firing came and she ducked for cover as the shots came at her.
