Chapter1: Our Story Begins
At first glance, things inside the SGC seemed to be running normally and smoothly. But this was, in all honesty, not the case by any means. In fact, this day was nothing short of tragic.
Outside the base infirmary, three members of SG-1 waited anxiously for news on the condition of their fallen friend. It had been nearly three hours since they had carried Colonel Jack O'Neill's inert form through the Stargate, and all were anxious for an update on his condition.
Daniel Jackson was sitting in the outer room of the infirmary with Major Samantha Carter and Teal'c. Daniel was very distracted as he held his head in his hands. He just couldn't understand how this had all happened. The fact that he had been unable to prevent this whole incident was what he had been struggling with ever since they had returned to Earth.
"Are you all right, Daniel?" Sam asked as she placed a hand on his shoulder in support.
"Yeah, I'm fine, Sam. I'm just worried about Jack, that's all." Daniel sighed heavily as he looked up at her.
"It appears to me that your distress is deeper than you admit, Daniel Jackson." Teal'c observed quietly.
"Well, it's just that I have something on my mind that I haven't quite been able to come to terms with yet."
"Any way we can help." Sam whispered.
Daniel shook his head. "No. I appreciate you and Teal'c being concerned but this is something that I have to answer to on my own. Besides, it's Jack we need to be worrying about right now, not me."
"He needs as much concern and worry as he can get right now."
Upon hearing this, the SG-1 members looked up to see Dr. Janet Fraser come out of the infirmary with a concerned look in her eyes.
"What is it, Janet?" Sam asked nervously.
"It's not good news. Colonel O'Neill is in very rough shape. He has a significant amount of head trauma and right now he's completely unresponsive."
"What do you mean, 'unresponsive'?" Daniel interrupted absently. He was hoping that she wasn't saying what he thought. Unfortunately, these hopes were unfounded. "Right now, Jack is in a deep coma. That's because of the stress his injuries have caused on his brain. I'm doing everything I possibly can for him right now and I'm also going to run a few tests to make sure I know the full extent of his injuries." Janet answered solemnly as she turned to go back to the infirmary.
"What are we to do now?" Teal'c spoke after a moment. Sam appeared to ponder his question as Daniel stared blankly at the floor, lost in his own thoughts.
"Well, I suppose we need to go and brief General Hammond."
"No. We can't do that yet!" Daniel exclaimed.
"Daniel, we have to. The general needs to be told about what happened. I know it's going to be difficult but it has to be done." Sam insisted.
"Try to remain calm, Daniel Jackson. Major Carter is correct in this instance." Teal'c stated calmly.
"Well, let's get it over with then." Daniel mumbled in a voice that was barely audible, knowing he was defeated.
