There was a planet... swamp all around... two people... they're being tortured... must help... no... no...
"No!" Carter awoke screaming.
Daniel was sleeping in a chair next to her bed. He awoke immediately as well. Carter was kicking the bed sheets and screaming.
"Sam, Sam! Calm down!" shouted Daniel. He picked up his radio, "She's awake! And she's screaming!"
"No! They're hurting me! It hurts! Stop!" shouted Carter.
"Sam? Who's hurting you? Sam?" asked Daniel in a panicked voice.
The door burst open and a medical team rushed in. They were followed by O'Neill and Teal'c. The two of them went to stand by Daniel. All three watched in horror as Carter kicked and punched the medical team. All the while she was screaming about people hurting her.
"No wonder they made her join the army!" said O'Neill conversationally as Carter kicked one of the medical team away. The team were trying to inject her with something now.
"Now they are in for it!" said Daniel, "They're trying to inject her! She's not going to like it!"
"I concur Daniel Jackson! How did she wake up?" asked Teal'c seriously.
"I don't know, she was sleeping peacefully so I went to sleep too. Then next thing I know she's sitting upright screaming about people hurting her! Must've been one heck of a nightmare! Not surprising!" said Daniel.
Carter screamed as the needle punctured her skin. A small trickle of blood oozed out the pin prick made by the needle. She screamed again. Then she shouted out, "They're in trouble! Need... go... there..." with those words she fell onto her pillow.
"What was that about?" asked O'Neill.
"It couldn't have been... No... Well? She could have meant Ritchik and Parphanely!" said Daniel, "I mean, she did see them before she left! What if the ship got to them?" The other two looked reflective, that is to say that Teal'c had his normal expression but with a slightly more raised eyebrow and O'Neill just looked confused.
"Do we know the gate address?" asked O'Neill
"Yes, I think so. Do you want to go through and check?" asked Daniel.
"O'Neill is right Daniel Jackson! We can not leave them to die! If we can we must help them," said Teal'c.
"Wait... if we knew the gate address why did we not send them through the gate?" asked O'Neill.
"I explained in the briefing! Do you not listen to my briefing?" asked Daniel. O'Neill's face was blank. "Sorry, stupid question!" said Daniel slightly annoyed, "They happen to have an acute disease called..."
"Don't speak like that! That's what makes me not listen in the briefing!" said O'Neill.
"What?" asked Daniel.
"Look! Cut the crap and get to the point Daniel! Wow! I've been wanting to say that for ages," said O'Neill.
"Fine! They're allergic to the aqua..."
O'Neill cleared his throat.
"They're allergic to the Stargate," said Daniel in a voice of forced calm. Carter was lying peacefully on the bed. Well, she looked peaceful, but there were disturbing images in her head.
"Ok, we need to check it out Daniel, for Carter's sake. What do you think will make her more ill, us checking it out or telling her we're not going to do anything?" asked O'Neill. Daniel looked at Carter.
"Ok, I'll do it!" said Daniel. The three of them, O'Neill, Daniel and Teal'c, walked out of the small bedroom that Carter was in. They walked in silence for a while. They were heading for General Hammond's office, which was on level 28. The elevator was in front of them, Teal'c stepped in first followed by Daniel then O'Neill. Daniel pressed the button, there was an awkward silence.
"So where is the planet Daniel?" asked O'Neill.
"It's in the... are you sure you want me to answer?" asked Daniel.
"No, I was trying to start up a conversation," said O'Neill honestly.
"Daniel Jackson, what are the aliens that are after Ritchik called?" asked Teal'c. Daniel looked puzzled.
"We don't know. Why?" asked Daniel suspiciously.
"Because the Goa'uld have a legend about a race like theirs," said Teal'c, "The slime will apparently inherit the planet that it lands on!"
"The slime? That is your name for them?" asked Daniel.
"That is what they are! Just balls of slime!" said O'Neill. Daniel looked at him. It was true, but why would the Goa'uld have a legend like that? It didn't make sense! Were they scared of them? The doors to the elevator opened and the three men stepped out.
"So, are we going to General Hammond's office?" asked Daniel.
"What's the point? He'll brief us and then we'll have to wait three days before going out there!" said O'Neill.
"Are you suggesting we just go? Without permission?" asked Daniel. He looked at O'Neill for a long time, then he said, "How? We'd be seen by the camera!"
O'Neill looked very smug, "I've thought this out! Teal'c stands watch by Carter's bed like we did for the past few nights! Then you and I say we'll do guard duty, you know watching the screens and things! Then at a certain time we leave and dial in the address! Then we have to run fast, because as soon as we dial one symbol we'll get detected! So we have to get through the gate and voila! We're there! And they don't know where we've gone!" O'Neill looked from Teal'c to Daniel and then back. Both of them looked amazed, "What?"
"Well, it's just that that is the best plan you have ever come up with!" said Daniel.
"Ok, so all we have to do is wait for nightfall!" said O'Neill. With that the three of them got back in the elevator.
