TEAL'C

I am still in awe of what my brother O'Neill has become. He has not only achieved the intelligence of the Ancients but has also acquired their healing powers. As we leave him to his sleep I wonder how long it will be before we are able to wake him and what we will find when we do.

I am concerned for me friends. When O'Neill was trapped on the planet Edora MajorCarter became obsessed with bringing him home to the point of endangering her health. DoctorFraiser was forced at times to order her to rest and eat. We have lost DoctorFraiser so that I must make sure that MajorCarter maintains her health. O'Neill would be most distressed if MajorCarter's health was to suffer because of him.

I will also have to monitor DanielJackson's actions. O'Neill frequently made sure that he also rested and received adequate nourishment. I will not fail my friend and brother. I will take his place in caring for our friends.

I wonder if MajorCarter and DanielJackson realize that O'Neill will not be the same when we awaken him. I have no doubt that DanielJackson will find Atlantis and that MajorCarter will find a way to restore O'Neill to us.

I fear that they will be disappointed in what they find when they do, for I believe that O'Neill has evolved into something other than what we knew him to be. In some way he will always be the O'Neill that we always knew, however, eh will be beyond anything that we have ever encountered.

Doctor Weir has promoted MajorCarter and given her command of SG-1. SG-1 at the present time has only one mission and that is to find a way to help O'Neill. This is a wise decision as they would not be able to function in any other capacity.

My main function is to make sure that ColonelCarter and DanielJackson receive proper rest and nutrition. I have convinced them also to exercise as it clears their minds and gives them a fresh prospective on the work.

Travel through the Stargate has been restricted to the Beta site as well as to our allies until the Stargate program can be re-evaluated. Now that most of the System Lords have been eliminated there is peace in the galaxy for the most part and the Tau'ri are for the first time in no immediate danger.

I have expressed my opinion to Doctor Weir that we should still be cautious in letting our guard down completely. Fortunately she has agreed with me. We will work for peace but be prepared for any contingency.

I miss the presence of O'Neill more than I can express. I have faith in my friends and their ability to find a solution to his situation, however, there is no predicting how long this task will take.

As I watch over their effort to help him I still wonder what O'Neill will be like when they revive him. How will ColonelCarter and DanielJackson react to the changes that he has under gone? Will my friend even remember us and what he means to us and we to him?

I fear the most for ColonelCarter's emotional state, both now and when O'Neill is returned to us. She has ended her relationship with the police officer that she was involved with, though I feel this is for the best, as I did not feel he was worthy of ColonelCarter's affection, he did provide a distraction that she required. I believe that Colonel Carter thinks that O'Neill will be returned to his former state such as he was after the last time that he receive the knowledge of the Ancients.

I am unsure of my own feelings on this. I will miss my friend if he is not the same and yet I feel that he has evolved beyond being a mere Tau'ri. O'Neill has always had greater intelligence than he revealed to others. This can be of great tactical advantage. Will he be beyond our ability to understand? All of this is speculation. For now I watch over our friends in his place and wait for his return.
