Chapter 2
Jack just managed to grab hold of Sam's body as she fell. Using one hand to hold her up and he used the other to hold her head so that he could see her face.
"She has the sickness" came Daltons voice, Jack had forgotten he was still there "bring her this way" Dalton walked off with Lissia right behind him toward a large building clearly one of the biggest in the village. He picked Sam up in his arms and carried her into the building with Teal'c and Daniel right behind him.
They walked inside and the sight that greeted them was horrific, dozens of people lying in makeshift beds one right next to the other. Their families were around them not realising they were exposing themselves to the 'sickness' or not caring. Some of those that were sick were screaming, clearly in agony, families were crying as they watched their loved ones suffer such horrific pain. Jack felt sick, is this what was going to happen to Sam. He approached an empty bed and Dalton motioned for him to put Sam on it, which he did. He then turned to Teal'c and Daniel who looked as worried as he felt.
"You two head back to the gate, dial the SGC and tell them what's going on and to send a med team with biohazard gear" They both nodded and left and Jack turned back to Sam he knew he was risking being infected himself by staying here but he couldn't just leave her, the last thing he wanted was for her to wake up in here and be alone, not knowing what was going on. He grabbed a chair and sat next to her bed and just watched her "Come on Sam, wake up".
Daniel and Teal'c arrived at the stargate with solemn looks on their faces, Daniel dialled the gate and watched as the great blue event horizon of the wormhole formed, he then reached for his radio.
"SGC this is Daniel, Come in"
"Daniel, go ahead" came the familiar voice of General Hammond
"Sir we have a problem, there's some kind of sickness infecting the villagers here and it looks like Sam may have caught it, Jacks requesting a medical team with biohazard gear be sent immediately"
"I'll have Dr Frazier and her team get ready, what kind of scale are we talking about"
"Big, that we saw there are at least 50 people infected"
"The medical team will be there in about 20 minutes, stay by the gate until they arrive"
"Yes Sir" Daniel watched the stargate disengage and looked at Teal'c who just nodded his head. Daniel moved and sat on a rock near the stargate and waited for the medical team to arrive, he thought about Sam and prayed that she would be okay.
Jack had been sitting next to Sam's bed for the past hour; he had been speaking to Dalton who he had learnt was the village doctor. He was real smart too, a lot more than you'd expect from a planet like this. It didn't look good, over 50 villagers had died and there were at least another 50 in this room. He looked at Sam she still hadn't moved he reached out and brushed his hand over her cheek. He heard a bunch of villager gasp and he turned to see the biohazard team arriving, they were all wearing bright orange biohazard suits and they dispersed into the room to the various patients. Three of them headed straight for him, it was Janet, Teal'c and Daniel were right behind her, Janet immediately went over to Sam and started checking her pulse, Jack was reluctant to leave Sams side but he got up and moved over to Daniel and Teal'c. Teal'c had never had to wear a biohazard suit before his symbiote usually protected him from stuff like this.
"Teal'c, that's new look for you" Jack said with his usual 'make jokes when things look bad' attitude.
"Dr Frazier insisted I wear one until she knows what it is we're dealing with"
"Smart woman" Jack looked at him a moment longer, he did not look at all happy about having to wear the suit and he looked as uncomfortable as hell. Jack turned back to Sam in time to see Janet finish drawing a blood sample; she then looked them,
"I'm going to need blood samples from the three of you too, I have some teams setting up proper triage tents outside, we can't work in these conditions" As she said this she looked around the room, through the glass of her helmet Jack could see the despair and sympathy on her face as she looked at the horrific sight around her, the same sight that Jack had spent an hour surrounded by.
Thirty minutes later Jack was sitting in a tent having his blood taken by Janet, Teal'c and Daniel were standing next to him putting their biohazard suits back on having already given their blood samples. Janet finished and then handed him a biohazard suit, he was about to protest but he saw the stern look on her face and decided there was no point, he took the suit from her and put it on as she spoke to them.
"Now that we have blood samples from Sam and the villagers we can try and identify the 'sickness' if we can do that then we're on our way to hopefully developing a cure" she didn't sound overly optimistic.
"What can we do to help" Teal'c asked
"You can talk to some of the villagers, see if we can get a timeline on this thing, find out what symptoms there are and when they present" Jack was way ahead of them
"I already spoke to Dalton, turns out he's the village doctor, a lot smarter than he looks, anyway he said it starts with dizziness which causes a temporary loss of consciousness which usually lasts about 4 hours, when the patient wakes up they develop a fever headaches and nausea. About 10 hours after that they begin experiencing sudden drastic changes in temperature one minute they're burning up the next they're freezing cold, another 12 hours after that they begin getting sharp unbearable pains throughout their body" Jack watched the look of horror growing on his friends faces as he told them what this illness did to people. "Then 6 hours later they begin drifting in and out of consciousness, 10 hours after that violent seizures begin and 5 hour later they begin to struggle for air as their respiratory system shuts down followed by the rest of their body, 7 hours later they die" he almost choked on his last few words he could barely bring himself to even think about it and he was surprised he had even remembered all that, he had never paid so much attention to anything in his life, but he knew that whatever he could find out would save time later. He looked at the faces of his friends; Teal'c who was normal completely composed looked sad which was a lot of emotion for a Jaffa to show. Daniel looked a little unsteady and Janet was holding back tears and had gripped Daniels arm for support.
"Well…em…I…er…I'll have some of my…my team go and … erm… go and talk to him some more" Janet was barely able to form a sentence.
"I told him you would, he says he's grateful for our assistance and will do anything he can to help" Janet just nodded her head and turned to head out of the tent just as she was about to leave Daniel collapsed. Teal'c moved faster than a speeding bullet and caught Daniel just before he hit the ground and lifted him onto the bed behind him. Janet was at his side in seconds and began checking his pulse
"Daniel, Daniel can you here me?" The desperation was evident in her voice as she called a medical team into the tent.
