"Daniel!" cried O'Neill as he hurried over to his friend's side.
O'Neill placed a hand on Daniel's shoulder and gently turned him enough so that he could take a look at the archaeologist's face.
"Daniel, wake up!" O'Neill told him.
"Get a medical team in here for them!" ordered Hammond as he looked up towards the control room.
The man at the controls nodded and gave the announcement on the speakers' overhead. Moments later, Doctor Fraiser and a few others hurried into the gateroom to see the three on the floor.
"Oh my. What happened?" she asked as she knelt beside Daniel.
"I don't know! They just collapsed!" replied O'Neill.
"Did you see anything before you saw them on the floor?" she asked O'Neill.
"I didn't see anything but we certainly heard something. They all screamed before falling to the floor," he replied.
"One way or another, we better get them to the infirmary and check them over there. This is not exactly the best place," Fraiser told him.
The three were immediately taken to the infirmary.
"Get all of them checked over for any injuries they have suffered," ordered Fraiser.
She went towards Daniel to see the wound on his arm. She glanced over at the other two before giving a sigh.

Later, she walked out of the infirmary to be greeted by Teal'c and Jacob. Carter and O'Neill were in a different room than the Lights and Fraiser wanted to keep them there for the night, no matter how much Colonel O'Neill complained about it.
"How are Torna, Lieutenant Skylar and Daniel Jackson?" wondered Teal'c.
"They're doing fine but I can't tell you what caused the 'comas', as I'm calling it, they're in at the moment. It's as if they heard something that we can't which caused their bodies to shut down," replied Fraiser.
"What can we do for them Doctor? Two members of this facility are off active duty and noone knows why," Hammond wanted to know.
"I wouldn't be able to tell you quite yet General. It's too soon to tell," Fraiser told him.
"Are we able to see O'Neill and Major Carter?" asked Teal'c.
"Yes, of course. Go in," the doctor told before letting them go inside.
The three walked inside and up to the beds O'Neill and Carter were in. They both looked up at their visiters.
"Guess we never thought this rescue mission would turn out like this," Carter quietly said to her father.
"Don't worry about it Sam. It's not your fault that it happened in the first place. Now I hope we don't have to deal with them for a long time," Jacob told her with a smile.
Carter also smiled as she looked over at Hammond and Teal'c.
"What can you tell us about these aliens Colonel?" asked the general.
"Very hostile indeed General. Had us captured and then tortured us for information about several things. The Lights, the Tok'ra, heck, even about our weapons and Teal'c. It seemed like those things wanted our weapons but they didn't take them," O'Neill replied, his eyes slightly open.
Hammond sighed as Teal'c raised an eyebrow. The two looked at each other.
"When can I get out of here? I'm already tired of being cooped up," O'Neill wanted to know.
"Not yet Colonel. These injuries may not be serious but I would at least like both you and Major Carter to stay around so they can be watched," Fraiser told him as she walked over to the bed.
O'Neill sighed as he looked at her.
"Alright, fine. Just don't ask me to do the Lights a favour anytime soon," he said.
"We probably would not ask you to do that for a while now anyway unless an enemy of the Lights come after them again," Teal'c told him.
Fraiser soon motioned to let Carter and O'Neill gets some rest and the small group complied, leaving the room.

Jacob walked down the hall, with General Hammond beside him.
"Have you any idea what might have happened to them?" wondered Hammond.
"I've only got one George and that's the Toraks left behind a secondary device that attacks the Lights when they're in proximity of them. It gets activated when the other one they place gets destroyed and more than one Light passes by it. Well, it would have turned on whether or not Torna came with us or not. Daniel and Esmerelda is all it would need," Jacob replied. "They walked into a trap, that's what they did."
"Well, what can we do to find it and destroy it?" Hammond demanded to know.
"We can do nothing for only someone with a Light inside them can find it. It's tuned into their-how should I say? -signatures," Jacob replied. "And the last time I checked, the only Lights that are here are unconscious. There's nothing we can unless one of them can wake up. We can't go get any others. It'd be dangerous."
Hammond was surprised by this information.
"I don't believe this," he muttered to himself as he followed Jacob to the control room.
He watched as the gate was activated and the Tok'ra walked back through the gate.
***
Some time later, after everything was quiet, O'Neill climbed out of his bed. He knew he shouldn't just yet and that Doctor Fraiser would be upset with him if she found out but he couldn't sleep and he needed to take a walk around the place.
"The things we go through for those Lights. Sometimes I wonder about them," O'Neill muttered to himself.
He walked past the room the three Lights were in. He sighed as he looked at Daniel. The colonel wished that his friend thought twice about what he had done.
"I really wish you didn't have one of those things in you. They have just as many problems as the Tok'ra," O'Neill whispered to himself. "And you got yourself involved."
It was then that he heard the alarms sound. He ran for the control room to see the gate was being activated from off world.
"Who is it?" O'Neill demanded as he looked at the technician.
"Let me see. It's the...Tok'ra? Why would they come back so soon after Jacob left?" the man wondered.
"That's what I want to know. Open the iris but be prepared in case there's trouble," O'Neill told him.
The man nodded before the iris was opened. Jacob walked through the gate with Sanchet leading him down the ramp.
Colonel O'Neill was not believing what he was seeing.
"Oh great," he muttered. "Not again."

O'Neill placed a hand on Daniel's shoulder and gently turned him enough so that he could take a look at the archaeologist's face.
