SPOILERS: Up to Season 5 as I've only seen that far
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Stargate or any of the characters and I'm not getting paid for this either. I don't own the song either, so please don't sue me.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Once more great thanks to my beta reader. This is my first attempt at a story with chapters so please be nice. Please review, and keep any criticism constructive :)
I hope to get the next chapter up by next weekend.
************
The Stargate spun into life, setting off the klaxons and alarms around the base.
"It's SG1's code, sir", the sergeant on duty said to General Hammond.
"Open the Iris," the General replied, facing the stargate. SG1 were early, and for some reason this worried him.
The Iris seemed to take an achingly slow time to open, revealing the watery blue surface of the event horizon.
Almost as soon as the iris was open, the surface rippled and Teal'c came though, carrying an unconscious Major Samantha Carter in his arms. Daniel Jackson followed swiftly after, with Colonel Jack O'Neill bringing up the rear, and yelling "Close the Iris!"
"Medical Team to the Gateroom!" The Sergeant called over the PA system. The Iris closed, but not before a staff weapon blast came through the 'gate and hit one of the walls of the gateroom.
Dr Janet Frasier rushed in with a medical team carrying a stretcher. She took in the sight of Major Carter, who was now being laid upon the stretcher by Teal'c. Like the rest of the team, upon first glance she appeared uninjured, if you ignored the fact that she was unconscious.
"What happened?" She asked Daniel, who was hovering worriedly next to her.
"That's what I'd like to know," General Hammond said, as he appeared at the bottom of the ramp. "Colonel O'Neill?'
"We're not sure, sir. Daniel was looking at his rocks, and Carter was studying some machine nearby. Teal'c and I were patrolling the area. The next thing we know, Jaffa are attacking us and Carter is unconscious."
The General looked grave. "Debriefing in one hour. Get yourselves checked out by Dr. Frasier."
"Sir." Jack acknowledged his orders and followed Dr Frasier and the rest of his team out to the infirmary.
***********
The debriefing went smoothly, with only the noticeable absence of Sam Carter marring the otherwise normal situation.
Jack began to relate what had occurred during the mission. "Well, the mission started off as normal, Teal'c and I secured the perimeter and then we walked about a mile west of the gate to look at Daniel's rocks...... uh......artefacts. There was also this machine in the trees close to the clearing with the.... artefacts in, which Carter wanted to check out.
She took the soil samples first, and then started to check out the device. Teal'c and I left them to it and began to patrol the area, keeping an eye out for any potential threats and keeping radio contact with them.
We were quite close to Daniel and Carter when I first heard the Jaffa. We got to the clearing just as they attacked from the opposite side, where we found Daniel with an unconscious Carter."
Jack looked at Daniel, who began to fill in the parts of the story that Jack had missed out, or hadn't known about.
"She can't have been out for long. I had called out to her and asked her something maybe just 5, 10 minutes previously. Next thing I know, a staff weapon blasts from out of the trees, and I can hear Jaffa getting closer. Jack and Teal'c came out from the opposite side of the clearing when they attacked. We went to get Sam, but we just found her unconscious on the floor. Teal'c picked her up and we ran towards the gate, firing back on the Jaffa."
"And how is Major Carter?" General Hammond questioned the team at the end of the debriefing.
"She's still unconscious, although Doc Frasier says she doesn't appear to have any obvious injuries, except for a bump on the head," Jack replied.
General Hammond nodded. "Dismissed." The team filed out of the room, Daniel and Teal'c heading straight to the infirmary. "Jack," General Hammond kept him back for a minute.
"Sir?" Jack asked, trying not to show his impatience to be out of the room.
"Keep me updated on Major Carter's condition, will you?" Jack nodded. "And please do not take three weeks to file your report on this mission?"
Jack tried to cover up his grin. "No sir."
" Dismissed." Jack left the room, heading towards the infirmary.
***********
Janet hurried over to the bed when she heard a groan from her patient.
"Sam?" She looked worriedly at her friend, who was trying to shade her eyes against the harsh brightness of the infirmary lights.
Sam tuned towards the sound of her voice. "Janet?" She could make out the slightly blurred figure of the doctor.
"How are you feeling?" Janet asked, as she examined her patient, helping her to sit up, and passing her a glass of water.
"My head hurts." Sam stated as she gratefully accepted the water, trying to rid herself of the dry taste in her mouth.
"Sam!" They both looked up, towards the door, where Daniel and Teal'c were standing, a look of relief on Daniel's face. He came towards them, Teal'c following. "How are you doing? What happened? Are you okay?" Sam smiled at his worried interrogation.
"I'm fine, my head hurts a bit and I think someone must have hit me from behind." She grimaced and rubbed the sore spot on the back of her head.
"It is good to see you awake again, Major Carter," Teal'c stated gravely, bowing slightly.
"It's good to see you too, Teal'c," Sam smiled at her friends, already feeling much better.
Janet stepped back from the bed. "Well, from what I can tell, you're fine, apart from that bump," she gestured to Sam's head. "You'll have to stay here overnight so I can keep an eye on you, but then you should be okay to get back to work."
Sam grinned. "Great!"
**********
Just then, Jack came into the infirmary. He saw Sam sitting up and grinned. "Hey Sam, you're awake! How're you feeling?" Sam gave him a strange look.
"It is proper to call someone you don't know personally by their rank, not by their first name." She said coldly.
"Carter?" Jack asked uncertainly. He began to look confused, and slightly worried. The others also turned to look at her in confusion.
"Sir." She stated, still coldly, but this time acknowledging his rank. A sneaking feeling of suspicion began to creep into Janet's mind.
"Sam?" she asked gently, "You do know who this is, right?" She gestured at the figure of Jack who stood a little way away from the bed.
Sam turned towards her. "No." She stated. "I've never seen this man before in my life."
