If you like it then 'fer crying out loud review, if you think something is medically incorrect please speak up, but if your only intent is to criticize or be sarcastic, just don't bother cuz I cant be arsed to write and then be insulted so in future, I'll block you.

Ps, memories/flashbacks are in italics.

Previously,

The memory swirled and vanished.

"See what you did? You killed us all" the voice screamed.

Sam surrendered to the oblivion that was overtaking her.

"So," muttered the voice, "who are we going to kill first?"

"STOP IT! I WON'T LET YOU!" yelled Sam.

Janet turned around and looked sadly at Sam. Her eyes were wild and she was screaming unintelligible things to herself.

Teal'c was sitting nearby in the corner, SG1 was taking turns to watch her and wait.

"Sarah," called Janet, "2mg of Lorazepam please."

Teal'c raised an eyebrow and his skin rippled slightly as his muscles tensed. Janet quickly clarified

"Its just to calm her down. She's doing no good to anyone like this."

Teal'c lowered his eyebrow and bowed his head in acceptance.

After a quick nod from Janet the nurse, known as Sarah, quickly injected the drug into Carter's IV. Soon she began to calm and quieten down.

Sam's features softened and she sighed lightly.

Jack O'Neill sat with his head in his hands. The locker room. An ideal place as SG1 had their very own, and seeing as Daniel was researching on his computer anything that might help and he probably wouldn't stop until he found something. Teal'c was watching Carter and he would undoubtedly stay there until another member of SG1 came to watch her. And Sam herself was in the infirmary tied down, so she certainly wasn't going to barge in anytime soon, he was safe to think things over by himself.

"Maybe she's asleep" it was a poor suggestion but Daniel couldn't honestly think of anything else.

"Was it just me or as she been acting a bit strange recently?" queried Jack

"Indeed, Major Carter has been acting in an unusual way"

He had suspected something then, but why hadn't he done anything before?

Jack thought back to when they had first walked through the stargate.

Teal'c had come through first, never being one for long goodbyes unlike Jack who seemed to drag out going through the stargate for as long as possible. Then came Daniel, unusually, who had hopped through the 'gate, then Sam, closely followed by O'Neill.

O'Neill scanned the area quickly, looking for any possible threat, but everything seemed normal enough.

"So campers, you know the drill. We're looking for a civilization", pausing he grinned "most preferably one with advanced technology"

Daniel looked upwards sighing and Jack was sure he could just hear the words "Give me strength."

Okay, so that was pretty ordinary he thought. Must have been since then, then. He thought forwards in the mission. When they had first made contact with someone. A small cheeky smiling someone.

"His name's Tom, sir" smiled Carter to O'Neill. He was instantly reminded of words he had uttered before. – No, you can't keep him! Jack half smiled to the boy, and noticing he was getting stared at, uncomfortably muttered "Hey" in his general direction. The boy grinned back and beckoned them to follow, then ran off.

Sam shrugged and jogged after him.

'Hmm, still seemed like Carter then.' He thought.

He couldn't quite put his finger on it. The only time he left her on her own was when she was with that boy so it must have happened then.But what did he do?

"Lets see…" whispered the voice… "I know how we're going to get outta here." Sam squirmed slightly in bed, the monitors at the side of her bed started beating erratically and Janet hurried over concerned.

Without any warning, Sam started fitting in her restraints, her back rising off the mattress she was on, her face showing her absolute fear and then her eyes opened wide with terror. Then her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she stopped fitting, and instead lay there motionless.

Teal'c stood up, concern radiating off the stoic Jaffa and turned to doctor Fraiser.

Suddenly the heart rate monitor whined as the red moving ball stopped bouncing up and down and rolled across the monitor.

"SHIT." she swore and ran a hand haphazardly through her hair, reaching out to hit a button on the infirmary wall. An alarm sounded, followed by the sound of people running. Teal'c stepped back to let them work, but the mask slipped slightly and fear was evident in his eyes. Janet moved in front of him, whilst working on Carter and effectively blocked his line of view.

"SHE'S CRASHING!" yelled Janet hurrying to disentangle Sam from the restraints. Another doctor and two nurses appeared and Janet produced a watery smile.

After a quick check of Sam's breathing, Janet spoke again.

"I need an intubation tray, stat!"

The tray quickly appeared and the team worked on Sam.

"OKAY, SHOCK HER"

A small whine of machinery charging then a thump onto the mattress told Teal'c what they were trying to do.

The sound of footsteps drew gradually closer and Teal'c recognized the familiar footfalls of Jack and the slightly more shuffling ones of Daniel. They ran over to Teal'c and looked puzzled. Teal'c wondered if they had been called or if the alarm Janet had sounded had attracted them. He decided on the latter.

"Again"

Janets voice brought him back to the situation at hand.

A whine, a thump, but no reassuring beat of the monitor.

"Again."

A whine of the machine, a thump then,

Nothing.
