The present day SG1 was on a planet where there was an old ruin that the UAV picked up when it was doing the normal rotation as soon as it went through the gate. It also picked up a village near by.

General Hammond granted Daniel's request to go and have a closer look at the ruins there. They all did their usual jobs; Daniel checked out the ruins, Sam collected dirt, water and planet samples, while Teal'c and Jack kept watch on them as well as checking the area out.

They met the leader of the village and asked him for permission to have a closer look at the ruins, which he granted them. Daniel was finishing and started packing up; they were there for three days.

"Jack I'm finished here"

"Good, let's get the hell out of here"

"Yes sir"

Sam was puzzled, but knew that when he said something like that, it usually meant trouble was not too far away. Teal'c went on guard straight away; he always trusted Jack instincts when he said anything like that.

Even though he had been with them for over five years, he is still learning the Tauri ways. Daniel quickly packed up everything with out asking any questions. Once every thing was done, they started heading back to the gate, staying alert at the same time.

They'd just reached the gate when out of nowhere there were staff blasts raining from all sides. Sam was hit on the shoulder and fell to the ground.

"Daniel dial it up!"

Daniel started dialling while Teal'c and Jack started firing back Jack when to help Sam when he was hit in the leg and fell to the ground. Luckily they were able to take cover, but Jack was hit two more times.

When the wormhole came to life, Daniel also took cover and called it in. Sam was able to remove her backpack.

"General Hammond we are under attack"

"Can you make it, where is the rest of your team?"

"Both Jack and Sam have been hit by staff blasts sir, we are pinned down"

"Copy that, how bad are they?"

"Sam was hit in the shoulder, Jack in the leg. I don't know where else he has been hit though, sir"

"General Hammond, this is Major Carter, Colonel O'Neill was hit in the back of his left leg, from what I saw he was also hit in the chest twice, I don't know if he is alive or not, sir"

"Can you get to him?"

"I'll try sir"

Sam gave both Teal'c and Daniel the signal, they started firing while Sam went to drag Jack body behind a boulder, she was able to remove his back pack from him before rolling him over, and checking for a pulse.

"Sir he's got a pulse but it is weak; we will have to try to get him through the gate. Have medical team on stand by, it's going to be a rough landing when we come through sir"

"Understood, we've got a medical team on stand by"

"Copy that" then she looked at Teal'c

"Teal'c can you carry the Colonel through, Daniel and I will cover your six"

Teal'c nodded, and then he managed to make it over to where Sam and Jack were. He took off his backpack while Sam and Daniel carried on firing.

"Ready?" she asked, Teal'c nodded his reply.

"Sir we are coming through hot. Ok on the count of three; one, two, three"

Daniel and Sam fired every round they'd got into the tree line. Teal'c lifted Jack over his shoulder in a fireman's lift and started heading up the steps to the gate with Sam and Daniel just behind him still firing till they knew that Jack and Teal'c had gotten through safely.

"Daniel, go!" Sam yelled out.

Daniel went through the gate. Sam ran up the steps and flew through the gate; she came flying through the other side, and landed on the ramp on her left side where the staff blast had hit her as she went through, they heard the iris shut.

Daniel quickly went to Sam's side, he could see that she was still in pain, then two nurses helped Sam up. She screamed out in pain, took one look at Jack who was on one of the gurneys covered in blood, and passed out.
