Notes: I haven't written anything in a long while but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.

It had been a quiet day at the SGC there were only two teams off world and they weren't due back for at least a week. A couple of captains were writing reports but otherwise they were operating with a skeleton crew. General Hammond sat at his desk reading a recently written report when all the alarms sounded.

He was out of his seat and out the door when his name was first called for over the loud speaker.

Entering the control room he half expected to see the Star Gate dialing in. What he wasn't expecting was what appeared to be a white portal opened an inch above where the Star Gate stood. Looking down on to the floor he could see Jack and Teal'c with a dozen other men armed and with weapons pointed at the portal.

The general looked up just in time to see the figure drop out of the portal and land with a loud clang on the ramp.

Cautiously Jack took a step forward, then turned to look at the control room where he knew Hammond would be. He gestured to the figure, "permission to check it out, Sir?" he asked already expecting the response.

"Granted" Hammond said shortly watching the motionless figure closely.

Cautiously Jack and Teal'c moved forward, both covering one another until Jack was close enough to nudge the figure with a boot before quickly taking a couple of steps backward and aiming with his gun. When he got no response after a few seconds he repeated the process nudging harder, still with no response.

Slinging the MP5 over his shoulder and drawing his sidearm and which he held in one hand, he knelt down beside what he could now identify as a blond girl of about what appear to be early twenties, he checked first for a pulse then for breathing.

"Alive, unconscious" he announced "Appears to be human, somebody get Janet and a medical crew in here." he ordered as he stood and took a few steps backwards and looked at Teal'c

Having already expected the question he shook his head "I sense no gou'ld, but there is something about her" he said

Jack arched an eyebrow and filed that info for later examination "you might want to get in touch with Sam and Daniel too, Sir, they can try and work out what is going on here."

An hour later found SG1 and General Hammond in the briefing room with Janet.

"We'll start with the portal, Dr Jackson, Major Carter, what can you tell me?" the general said leaning forward his hands resting on the table.

"Well were to start" Daniel said more to himself, getting out of his chair he started to pace "First of all, it was a natural wormhole, well natural at our end" he said correcting himself. "The wormhole was certainly not created by any stargate. It was either a tear in the fabric so to speak or whatever place our visitor comes from is experimenting with new technology and she was a test subject."

Jack who couldn't help himself turned to Teal'c "What I find disturbing was that I actually understood that" he quipped.

"I've bought the explanation down a few levels Jack" Daniel said looking at his friend with a straight face though there is a look of amusement in his eyes.

"What we really need to know is can it be down again, will we be expecting more visitors?" Hammond asked.

"We don't believe so, Sir" Sam said looking down at her notes "there was no focus for the wormhole it just connected here this time. We think it maybe opened here because of our Stargate, but we can't be sure. I don't believe that that it will happen again. Another thing I noticed the wormhole was quiet a lot more powerful then our stargate. If it was technology that opened that wormhole there must be tremendous power being used."

General Hammond nodded his head then turned to Janet "Ok Doctor, how is the girl who seems to be a victim in all of this" he added giving his opinion on the matter of the girl.

Janet paused a second before answering, gathering her thoughts. "After an extensive series of tests, MRI, full body X-rays, we can be sure she doesn't contain a gou'ld. But and this is a big but. But, when we did the first x-ray, I wasn't complete happy with it, it revealed that there were 3 broken ribs and a shattered collar bone"

General Hammond nodded his head "Go on" he prompted.

"I strapped up the broken bones, like I would for any broken bones" Janet paused and took a drink of water then got up and walked over to the white board and started putting up x-rays. "These X-rays were taken 30 minutes after the originals. As you can see the broken ribs have completely healed, to the point I couldn't even see where they were broken."

Sam stood up and walked over to look at the x-rays "correct me if I'm wrong, but a broken bone leaves a trace"

Janet nodded her head "exactly, there is no trace of broken bones, I can look at anyones X-rays, even Teal'c and tell you which bones you've broken and how many times, I can't tell you that information about this girl, she could have had multiple broken bones and we could never tell."

Janet look around the room waiting for that information to be taken in "then there is the almost immediate healing of the bones themselves, those ribs should have taken at least a week." Janet put up a couple more X-rays, "now lets talk about her collar bone, as you can see the half an hour difference, equates to about 2 weeks to a normal person, that bone was in more pieces than it should have been. Now it looks like it is simple bruised"

Sam looked at the second set of X-rays "and we're sure that there is no sign of infestation, not that this would be possible even with a gou'ld." she says

Then over the loud speaker came a voice "Could Dr Janet and General Hammond please come to the infirmary"

Janet looked at the General as she gathered up all her X-rays "Our visitor is awake or is starting to wake up" she said as she heads for the door with the General and SG1 close on her heals.

Walking into the infirmary minutes later found the unknown figure still lying on a bed but her eyes were open looking up at the ceiling.

Janet arched a questioning eyebrow at the duty nurse.

The nurse shrugged "she opened her eyes a few seconds ago, but hasn't responded in any other way other then look at the ceiling."

Janet nodded then turned back to the girl, who had turned to look at the group. Or more accurately Janet thought to herself, the girl was looking right at Teal'c's chest.

Janet moved to stand at the bedside and Teal'c moved beside him, while Sam, Daniel and Jack moved to the other side and General Hammond moved to the end of the bed.

Daniel opened his mouth to start rattling off greetings in the different languages he knew, but was forestalled by the girl holding up her hand to his face without even looking to see where he was.

"They promised that I could rest" she said then turned her attention back to the roof "but I can't can I?" she asked rhetorically her voice little more then a whisper

"They who?" The General asked his voice soft almost gentle.

The girl smiled with her eyes closed "The Powers that Be" she said. "But even here there are monsters to fight aren't there?" she asked turning to look at Teal'c again. "I can sense him" she said "squirming around in your chest, he fears me" he said matter of factly.

Everybody turned and looked at Teal'c seemingly not able to speak the questions that came to mind. Teal'c nodded his head "he does" Teal'c answered in his usual tone of voice.

"Good" she said with a small smile starting to spread on her face "he is right to fear me, you however have nothing to fear."

Jack held up his hands "wait, wait, wait, What? Look who are you and just in general What?" he said looking from Teal'c then back to the girl.

"My name is Buffy" the girl said simply "and I'm hear to help you" she said "but first, I need more sleep and you need to speak to Whistler."

"Who is Whistler?" General Hammond asked quickly getting the question in before the girl could sleep.

"Whistler is somebody who will explain it all to you, he should be here soon" the girl said then closed her eyes "wait for him and then you'll have all your answers"
