Janet rushed to Daniel's side as he started to convulse and moaning in pain. "Start him on a morphine drip and hurry." She took his pulse only to find it quick and erratic. "Come on Daniel." She whispered as the morphine was hooked into his IV. She watched the small screen off to her right which was reading his vitals. Just as suddenly as it started, Daniel was calm and his vitals back to normal. "What the?" She left go of his arm and looked over at Sam who was staring at Daniel with concern in her eyes. "Do you know what just happened because I sure in hell don't?"
Sam closed her eyes and nodded. "I...I believe that I do." She walked over to Daniel and placed a hand on his bare shoulder then pulled it away like she was burned. "I can feel it within." She turned to look at Janet. "He's a Goa'uld." This didn't seem to surprise Sam by the tone of her voice.
Blinking, Janet rushed away from the two and slammed her hand on the red button near the door. Alarms began to blare. She then headed towards the intercom. "General Hammond and Colonel O'Neill please report to the infirmary we have a situation." She motioned to the guards outside to take up post on either side of Daniel's bed. "Did you know about this Sam?"
"Yes. Daniel was training to be First Prime. But I don't understand why he has blended. His symbiote is years away from being mature. It was very young when it was implanted so that Daniel would have time to grow accustom to it. That's how it is done to all." She whispered. "We have to get it out of him." She seemed to snap out of whatever stupor she was in. "The blending isn't fully complete. Just the early stages. The full blending process will take at least a day." She eyed Janet with fierce determination in her eyes. "Please." It wasn't a request. It sounded more like a polite order.
Janet shook her head and run a hand through her hair. "Daniel training to be a First Prime to anything is a little hard to believe but I don't know how to remove it, Sam. From what we know, removing it could very well kill him." She was trying to make it clear that if anything was attempted, there wouldn't be a guarantee that Daniel would live through it.
"I know that Janet, I'm not stupid. I've spent two years of my life with this man. One of which as his wife. I've studied this due to the fact that Daniel was chosen to be First Prime by Hatcey. I know how to remove it but it will not be happy. Actually, it will be plain out pissed off. So that means that it will be dangerous. This procedure is safe but I don't know how Daniel will take it. He adjusted to life under Ma'at without problem. He accepted the fact that he was chosen to be First Prime. Therefore he accept that Goa'uld inside of him. Kem'tar is its name." Sam closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "We've got to do this now. Have him turned onto his stomach then stand by with a Zat incase it decides to take a stroll after it's out." Sam didn't wait for permission, she just began what she needed to do for the procedure.
Janet was listening patiently to Sam then raised an eyebrow. "You can remove an alive Goa'uld without harm to the host?" Again this was something hard to believe but from what she has seen and heard in the past few moments, she was beginning to believe anything was possible. She nodded to the two Airmen who stepped away from the bed so Daniel could be turned to his stomach. They then stood by with Zats, aimed and ready to be fired. Colonel O'Neill and General Hammond still hadn't arrived.
Sam was chewing on her bottom lip. Sure she had read all about this forbidden process in order to better understand her new environment and what was going to happen to her friend, now currently her husband. If done correctly Daniel would feel great pain but survive. As would the Goa'uld. Taking a deep breath she stepped up to him. Her hands were already covered in surgical gloves and a scalpel was clutched tightly in her right hand. She aimed the scalpel towards the center of the back of his neck. She slowly began to cut, apologizing in her mind for not putting him to sleep but it wouldn't work if he was sedated.
Janet was standing by to help in anyway she could. Soon blood was flowing freely from the incision and Janet was mopping it up.
Sam used her index finger and thumb on her left hand to pry the two folds of skin apart where she cut deeper, careful to avoid anything that would cause Daniel harm. Sweat from beginning to bead on her forehead but she kept going until the dark skin of the Goa'uld could be seen. Pulling the skin open more, she touched the scaley skin with the palm of her left hand then closed her eyes. Her hand began to glow and within a few seconds she was face to face with a hissing, pissed off, Goa'uld. It was still mostly inside Daniel but it was staring directly at Sam. She kept her hand on the slimy creature until it let out a high pitched shriek and went limp. Grabbing it, Sam gently pulled and it slid the remainder of the way out of Daniel, she then moved out of the way so Janet could sew the incision closed and check on Daniel.
Quickly Sam ran out of the infirmary and through the hallways, she only have a few minutes before the serpent would wake and she needed to get him contained. On her way she rushed passed Colonel O'Neill and General Hammond who stopped and followed her. She only stopped once she was inside one of the private labs. She grabbed one of the stasis containers out of a nearby refrigerator and shoved the creature in, sealing it tightly. Then once that was all done she thanked God that nothing had changed over the years that they were gone. She knew of the containers since she was one of the scientists assigned to the task of developing them. They were created in case of a situation such as this but no one ever thought that they would be used.
"Care to explain why you were running through the base with what appeared to be a GOA'ULD in your hands, Carter?" O'Neill asked from the doorway where a deep frown was etched across his and Hammond's face.
