Meanwhile, Daniel, Teal'c and SG-3 found themselves on a planet which seemed to be abandoned.

"They're not here." Major Castleman said, not sounding surprised. They all looked around.

"The Tok'ra have been renowned for hiding. They're here, somewhere." Daniel said. Suddenly, they were caught in a ring transporter and were taken underground. Luckily, the first one to greet them was Jacob Carter.

"What are you doing here?" Jacob asked.

"We need your help." Daniel said.

"What happened?" Jacob said.

"We were exploring a planet with an underground lab and a Goa'uld scientist working in it." Daniel began.

"Go on." Jacob asked, eager to find out why they were here.

"He was working on something, a clear liquid. He worked for Anubis." Daniel said.

"Forget what I said, just cut to it, Daniel, tell me why you're here." Jacob said.

"Colonel O'Neill was infected by the substance and now he is gravely ill." Teal'c said.

"That bad?" Jacob asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yeah, we were hoping you'd now if there was an antidote?" Daniel said.

"What's it doing to him?" Jacob asked.

"Apart from killing him?" Castleman said, with notable sarcasm.

"He was infected yesterday. The symptoms emerged about 3 hours ago. He said he couldn't feel his right arm, then he coughed up blood. He passed out from the pain in his mid-section. He was still unconscious when we left." Daniel explained.

"Dr Fraiser said that his blood is slowly turning to naquadah and as a result is causing blood poisoning." Teal'c said.

"I've heard of this, it's bad. Lets go." Jacob said. They began to leave. "Oh wait, Brainan, lets go." Another Tok'ra caught up with them. "This is Brainan, he's an expert on any Goa'uld experiment, he can help. Brainan, we have a human infected with a Goa'uld experiment." Brainan nodded. Then they left.

Jack had been unconscious for an hour. He was tossing and turning. Sam held his hand.

"Come on, Colonel, you can fight this." Sam pleaded with him. She hadn't left his side. She noticed he was sweating. She put her and on his head and realised he was burning hot. "Janet, he's burning up." Fraiser came and took a temperature reading.

"His temperature is 105oC , it's a raging fever as a result from the blood poisoning." Fraiser explained as she was examining him.

"How long does he have?" Sam asked. It was the most painful thing she ever had to ask.

"Sam, I don't think that…" Fraiser began, trying to change the subject.

"Janet, just tell me." Sam demanded. Fraiser saw the determination in her eyes, but also the pleading. Fraiser gave in.

"It's only a matter on time. Not long. A few days, if that." Fraiser said solemnly.

"I hope Daniel's having more luck than we are." Sam said.

"Sam, go and get some rest, or a coffee. He's not going anywhere." Fraiser suggested.

"I'm not going anywhere, I don't want to miss any changes in his condition." Sam said.

"Look, the best we can do is to keep him unconscious until we find the antidote." Fraiser said.

"Janet, I'm not going." Sam said. Fraiser knew she wouldn't win, not when Sam got determined.

"You win. Can I get you a coffee?" Fraiser said.

"Sure." Sam said. Fraiser began to leave. She then handed Sam a damp cloth for Jack's face. "Keep him cool." Then she walked out.

The stargate burst open and Daniel, Teal'c, SG-3, Jacob and Brainan came through.

"SG-1 and 3, well done." Hammond said.

"Hello George, long time no see." Jacob said. He shook Hammond hand.

"Hello Jacob, it's good to see you too. I'm sorry its under such unfortunate circumstances." Hammond said.

"How is he?" Daniel asked.

"We just got a report from Dr Fraiser. He's getting worse, he's developed a raging fever not long ago with a temperature of 105oC." Hammond said.

"Take us to him." Jacob said. Daniel and Hammond lead the way.
