"Daniel!" She called, walking toward him.
"Yeah?"
"What's wrong with Colonel O'Neill?"
He looked up into Sam's blue eyes. "Sam?"
She gaped. "That's exactly how he looked at me. What's wrong with you guys?"
"Sam…you…I mean, this is crazy!"
"What's crazy?"
Teal'c voice came from around the corner. "Daniel Jackson, I believe that I heard…" Teal'c stopped as he rounded the corner and saw Sam. "Major Carter." He said, almost mournfully.
"What the hell is going on here?"
"We witnessed your demise at the hands of a device on P4C 875." Teal'c said, taking a step forward.
"I'm dead?" She asked, surprised. "But my access card still works!"
"Well, you only died about an hour ago." Daniel pointed out.
"But I don't feel dead!" She protested.
"Dr. Jackson! Teal'c!" General Hammond said, walking down the hall. "Good. I managed to catch you both."
"General Hammond." Sam said, hoping beyond hope that he didn't think she was dead too.
"Major," he greeted. Suddenly, his eyes widened in recognition. "Major Carter!"
"Not you too." She said with a sigh.
"Dr. Jackson, Teal'c, what the hell is going on here?"
"That's what I just asked." She said, uncomfortably.
"I have no idea." Daniel said, shrugging.
"Who are you?" Hammond asked, stepping toward the major, his eyes full of earnest question.
"I am Major Doctor Samantha Elizabeth Carter of the United States Air Force." She said, slowly. "And I am NOT dead."

She sat on the table in the infirmary waiting for Dr. Fraiser.
"General…I was just finishing up some…" She looked at Sam. "Sam."
"Janet! Thank goodness…these guys are saying that I'm dead…I'm not dead, am I?"
"I…I just started on your paperwork!"
"What the hell made you think that I was dead?!"
"Possibly the fact that you flatlined in my infirmary…and that you didn't respond to our attempts at resuscitation…" Janet said, trying to steady herself.
Sam looked at the them as a sharp pain flashed over her entire body. She was bent over in absolute pain as she looked up. "If I was dead, I wouldn't be in pain, now would I?"
Janet rushed to her side. "Where does it hurt?"
"Everywhere." She groaned.
Suddenly, one of the young doctors, working in the morgue ran into the room. "Dr. Fraiser! I've been looking everywhere!"
"Not right now, Dr. Stevenson."
"But…Major Carter's body disappeared in a bright light!"
Janet turned sharply to look at the young man. "What?"
Sam groaned as she collapsed against the concrete.
"Nurse! Get Major Carter to Isolation 1!"
General Hammond turned to Daniel. "Get Colonel O'Neill…we need to figure out what the hell is going on!"
