"She can adapt to any environment?" Teal'c asked once Jack had filled him
in. "Most convenient."
"Okay guys you can see her now." Janet said as she walked out into the hall. "Where's Jonas?"
"He's out with SG-4." Jack explained as they followed Janet.
"Is that what she was hit with?" Sam pointed to a sharp stick. It looked like a short arrow, with a niche in the back of it for the string and it was sharpened to a long thin point, but there were no quills on it. It was five inches long, four of which were stained a deep blue.
"Yes. We sent a sample of the blue substance to be tested, to make sure it isn't some kind of poison we need to take care of, but I'm positive that's her blood."
"We have seen her blood Dr. Fraiser, Major Carter attended her wound, and it was most defiantly red."
"Yes Teal'c that's true, and it's red now." Janet looked over at Max who began to toss a little. "My guess is that when her body adapted to that atmosphere, the blue blood was just one of the changes."
"Like the green skin." Sam add.
"I do not understand why she does not heal herself." Teal'c moved next to Max's bed, she started thrashing, almost falling off the bed. Teal'c tried to hold her down but it only seemed to make it worse.
"Can't you sedate her or something?" Jack asked, joining Teal'c.
"She is! I don't understand it, she should be out for days with what I gave her, I'm afraid to give her anymore."
Sam grabbed Teal'c's arm and pulled him out into the hall. "Sorry. because of your symbote she thinks you're a Goa'uld. It's probably some instinct thing, maybe so they can't sneak up on her in her sleep I don't know."
"I understand. I will not return until she awakens." Teal'c bowed his head then walked away, leaving Sam feeling a little guilty.
"It worked?" Sam asked when she saw Max's still form.
"Yes. As soon as you two left she calmed down. Not quite resting comfortable but calm none the less." Janet thought for a second then pulled on Sam's sleeve. "Come here for a second."
As Sam stood next to Max's bed Max relaxed, her face lost its look of fear and the tension left her body. Janet brought a chair over for Sam, "I want you to stay here for a little bit. I want to make sure she's truly calmed back to down before I leave her alone."
General Hammond felt out of place as he approached the four. "I need to speak with you." He whispered, Janet and Sam followed him out to where Teal'c was waiting, leaving Jack to stay with Max.
"As soon as she's well I want to met with her."
"Sir?"
"I know this sounds harsh but Max is an alien. From what you've told me there's virtually no way to stop her if her intentions are."
"She didn't even want to come here, she was dialing-granted it appeared to be at random-but she was dialing somewhere else. And she's not invincible."
"Major please. Worst case here, you would have me shoot her?" Sam started to protest but the general held up his hand, stopping her, before he continued. "I wish to met with her to try and discover what her intentions are. In the long run we may have to ask her to leave."
"What! General that girl has no home." Janet chimed in.
"I know of the planet she is from. Rae ordered it destroyed over ten years ago after they found the inhabitants, the Shri, were incompatible as hosts. Something about their make-up poisoned the symbotes. They were a great people, advanced in many ways, in many ways a threat. There technology was ordered aboard his ship for study and the planet was destroyed."
"She's been somewhere for the past ten years."
"Sir, I'm sorry but you can't just toss her out."
"Major Carter please! It may not come to that. But I am worried that you are becoming too attached." Again, he thought.
"Yes sir." Sam sighed then gestured toward the room. "May I sir?"
"Yes Major, but I want to see her the minute Dr. Fraiser feels it is acceptable."
Please tell me what you think, even if you think it sucks!! I need some encouragement here!
