As I stand in the corridor outside the infirmary, I contemplate what Major Carter means to us, to the entire SGC.

Her presence here is well known and she has caught the attention of a great many men - ColonelO'Neill and Leuitenant Simmons amongst them.

I remember the first time I saw her sitting alongside Colonel O'Neill on Chulak. (If wrong do not shoot!) My first thought was 'What an amazing host she would be.' Now...now I know what she is.

She is a far better person than all the Goa'uld put together. She has her faults but don't we all? I must regretfully admit that I am not the perfect warrior and I do not expect Major Carter to be either - after all no one is perfect at any one thing.

I understand now that she is the most caring and giving person ever to have walked on this or any other planet. If it were not for the fact I respect her as much as I do, or for Drey'auc and ColonelO'Neill I would set about making her my partner.

I remember her inability to give up on ColonelO'Neill when he was aging greatly. When all of this kebam started - I believe I may be spending so much time with Colonel O'Neill now that my Kel-no-reem is unable to save my mind from his quotes.

She is a strong warrior and I believe she will be the key in our fight against the Goa'uld. ColonelO'Neill and herself of course.

I was aware that there was a sexual tension between them - even back on Chulak - and I was aware of that shift when they overcame their boundaries and finally admitted lving each other. I would never admit to having seen the change because they are both so proud and I would not wish to harm them in anyway. Let me re-phrase that. I would not wish to harm their ego's. They thought they were doing a good job at hiding their relationship but of course certain people noticed - General's Carter and Hammond amongst them.

If MajorCarter is to die then I believe that the fight against the Goa'uld will have lost one of it's greatest warriors...and I will have lost one of my greatest friends.

I am unsure about how ColonelO'Neill would continue without MajorCarter by his side to help him through his worst days. If I am correct in my assumptions then she is the reason he awakens in the morning and without her he is nothing - or he believes himself to be nothing. He has lost many in his life, it would be too much if he lost Sam as well.

"Hey Teal'c." I look around and realise I have managed to walk to the shower room without even thinking about it, and managed to open my door. Getting any further had proved difficult since my body cannot move without the brain telling it to.

I converse with DanielJackson for several moments before turning and walking into my cubicle for the shower I am in need of.

In the cubicle to my right (?) I hear the melodic voice of DanielJackson sing alongside the music on my shower radio I 'acquired' from ColonelO'Neill.

I begin singing alongside DanielJackson as the shower water heats my chilled body.

Several minutes later - once the song has finished may I add - I hear Daniel calling to me telling me 'Jack' has been called to the infirmary presumably for news on MajorCarter.

Scurrying into several pieces of clothing I follow Daniel down the corridor at a steady jog hoping we have news concerning Major Carter.

If we do not, this base would be unable to function properly which is one of the reasons GeneralHammond allowed Jack and Sam to continue in their relationship.

I hope Bump is well for if not I do believe MajorCarter or ColonelO'Neill would be unable to continue for some time.

Load of poop I know! But I had to get some Teal'c bonding in here somewhere! Read about! There is no Teal'c bits I don't think! Feedback greatly appreciated!
