The Orb
Chapter 3
He raced to her side and put his head down to her face to see if she was breathing and then felt for a pulse. He could feel her faint breath on his cheek and found a faint pulse on her neck. Relieved that she was breathing, he tried to maker her comfortable until help arrived. He took off his BDU shirt and made a pillow for her head. As he gently lifted her head, he felt a bump forming. It was about the size of the orb. 'Ouch', he thought to himself 'Well, that's not good. For crying out loud Carter, why couldn't you have ducked?'
As he waited for the medical team, Jack looked around the lab to see if he could locate the orb. It was nowhere to be found. Daniel and Teal'c, having heard the klaxon and intercom message, arrived a moment before the medical team. Dr. Frasier and 3 of her staff pushed past them and rushed to Sam's side, where she still laid immobile on the floor.
Janet took Sam's pulse and announced that she had a pulse but it was weak and erratic.
Janet noticed that Sam's face was very pale and layered with perspiration. She ordered her nurses to take Sam to the infirmary stat. As they loaded Sam on the stretcher, Janet turned to Jack. "What exactly happened here, Colonel?" Jack and the rest of his team followed Janet to the infirmary with Jack telling them of his arrival to the lab, seeing the orb and how it seemingly attacked Major Carter. He also told them of how after the attack the orb disappeared from the lab.
General Hammond, having been called and informed about the emergency, was making his way to the infirmary. He was always concerned about SG1's welfare and always tried to be present when something happened to one of his number 1 team. He arrived just as Jack was finishing the details of the events. Concern turned into action and Hammond said, "I'm ordering a lockdown of the base until that orb is found."
He then turned to Daniel and Teal'c and said, "I want you both to return to Major Carter's lab and secure the other artifacts you brought back from P3X-965 yesterday. I don't want anymore surprises. Take weapons with you just in case." Teal'c returned to his quarters to get his staff weapon while Daniel went to get a zat from the armory. Together they then made their way back to Sam's lab.
Please review! It will only make the story better!
