Jack walked up the ramp and through the gate. When he reached the other side, he walked for a couple of minutes when the Tok'ra showed up out of the sand, with weapons pointing at Jack.
"I need to speak to Jacob Carter, host to Selmac. I'm Colonel Jack O'Neill, it's important", they lowered their weapons.
"Come with me" One of them said.
Jack followed the Tok'ra for a few meters. Jack stood close to the Tok'ra, when the rings activated. The next thing, he was under ground and Jacob was waiting for him.
"Jack, what are you doing here, how's Sam?"
"That's why I'm here. You guy's don't happen to have a sarcophagus laying around, do you?"
"Jack you know we don't use it. How bad is it?"
"Jacob, it's not good or I wouldn't be here asking for one"
"We will send word out to our operatives, to see if they can find one for you to use"
"Thank you."
They walked down the corridor to a room, where Jacob spoke to another Tok'ra. Once finished there, Jack followed Jacob to where they eat and drink. Jack sat down, while Jacob got himself a drink, then went to join him.
"How bad? I could use a healing device?"
"You could try but Doc would have said. Sam's liver and kidneys are starting to fail, which usually means not a good sign."
"What about her other organs?"
"Doc didn't say, but I noticed this morning, when the nurse was changing the urine bag, there was a small amount of blood in it. Small but it was noticeable. It only means that her kidneys can't be in good shape" Then a Tok'ra walked over to them.
"One of our operatives has a sarcophagus on his Tel'tac. He said that he could meet you on this plant in half an hour, so you can use it to heal Major Carter" He passed the address to Jacob.
"Thank you. Let him know that we will be there"
Jack and Jacob left the room and headed to let Garshaw know the latest news. She was pleased for them. They left to go where the rings were and went up to the surface, then to the Stargate.
Jack dialed to Earth and sent the code through, before they went through the gate. When they arrived on the other side, Hammond was waiting for them.
"Jack, it's Sam" One look told him that it wasn't good
"Sir, get the healing device, we need it to buy us some time"
"Jack" Jack was running out of the room.
"George, you better get the device. I can use the it to stabilize Sam. Then we can take her to where one of our operatives is waiting for us with a sarcophagus that we can use"
"Let's go"
The quickly ran out of the room to head towards the infirmary. They stopped off to get the healing device, before going on to the infirmary.
When Jack arrived, he could see that she had been put on a life support system. Janet saw him walk in.
"Colonel, I'm sorry. She slipped into a coma, it's just a matter of time"
"We have a sarcophagus but we have to take her to the planet where it is. A Tok'ra is waiting for us"
"You know she will die as soon as I take her off the life support?"
Then Jacob and Hammond showed up. Jacob was shocked when he saw Sam. Selmac immediately took over.
"The healing device, please" Hammond passed the device to Jacob, who then walked over to the side of the bed.
"Sir, it won't work"
"Doc… Janet, it's only just until we can take her through the gate" Janet nodded.
Then Jacob put the device over his hand and held it over Sam. The device started glowing and humming at the same time. A minute later he stopped. Janet went to Sam's side when she opened her eyes.
Janet moved the tube from her mouth and throat. She was breathing on her own. She looked to see both Jack and Jacob there.
"Doc, can you remove all the wires and needles from her? We have got to go"
Janet quickly removed it all from Sam. Once done, Jack went to scoop her up in his arms, and they walked out of the infirmary and headed to the gate room. The Stargate was already starting to spin. Jack looked down to see Sam looking at him.
"Hang on sweet heart, just hang on"
