Well you know what to do!
They had been working for hours again and the tension in the room was thick. Everyone could feel it.
Sam watched the two work, coming in and out from outside, "Anything?"
They responded at the same time, "Nope."
"Okay, well Teal'c and I are going to be outside. So, if you need us." Sam inched her way out.
"Thanks Sam." Anna called after her. She glanced at Daniel, he was scribbling in his notebook.
She looked from him to the device. She had to do it now. She stood putting down her tools and stretched. Then casually made her way to the center of the room to the device. She made one last glance at Daniel before she grabbed onto device and let out a gasp.
Daniel looked over at her and back to the wall, his head snapped back to her, "Whoa whoa!" Daniel looked at her.
Sam and Teal'c ran down the stairs guns raised, looking at both of them. Sam spoke up, "What is she doing? We don't know what it does!"
"I don't know she just suddenly grabbed onto it." Daniel stared at her.
"Can we move her?" Sam asked.
"I don't think it would be a good idea, considering we don't know what it does." Daniel moved around her taking in her reactions.
Her eyes were opened wide as if experiencing something horrible, frightening. Her body was rigid, as if wanting to move, but unable too.
"Sam she's going through something that might be inflicting pain I think, look at the strain on her muscles." Sam moved to look as Daniel pointed.
"I think you're right, what should we do?" She looked at him.
"We need to figure out this translation." He turned back to the walls.
Sam nodded, "Right I'm going to radio gate control and let them know what's going on."
Daniel didn't respond, but continued with his translating. Everyone let him to his work. An hour passed and he briefly heard Jack over the radio shouting.
An hour, how long could Anna stay like that? He looked over at her, she hadn't moved a muscle, and she hadn't even blinked. For that matter was she even breathing, now?
He left a marker on the wall so he could come back to it, and walked over to her, "Sam!"
Sam came in, "Did you figure something out?"
"She's not breathing!" A panicked look crossed his face.
"What?" She looked at Anna.
"She's not, and if she is it's so small I can't notice it at all." He told her rapidly.
Teal'c walked in, "What is the problem?"
"Teal'c contacts the SGC tell them we need a medic now!" Teal'c nodded and left for the gate.
"What do we do?" Daniel looked at Sam.
"Finish the translation now!" Sam commanded, she was not losing another friend.
Daniel looked at Sam, "Right." He turned back to the wall when they both heard loud audible gasp.
"DANIEL!" Anna shouted and fell to the ground.
Daniel ran to her side, "I'm here, I'm right here. What's wrong?"
She looked at him shakily tears running down her face, and then she hugged him around the neck, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…"
"For what? What's wrong?" He asked stroking her hair after getting used to holding her.
She only repeated "I'm sorry, I'm sorry…" until the exhaustion finally took hold of her and she fell asleep against Daniel's shoulder.
"I think it would be best if we left now, we can come back and finish this." Sam told him.
Daniel nodded slowly and moved Anna onto his back, while Sam carried his and hers backpack back to the gate. On the way they met Teal'c and the medic team. After a small evaluation they all agreed that it would be best just to get Anna back to the base.
The trip was quick as always as they stepped through the other side into the SGC. Jack was standing there with a worried look on his face, "How is she?"
"She's sleeping now sir, and her vitals do look stable, Daniel's going to take her to the infirmary now." Sam reported.
Jack stopped Daniel for a moment just to look at Anna. He brushed her hair from her face; she looked little again, just for a moment. He nodded at Daniel and he proceeded to take her to the infirmary.
"What exactly happened?" Jack said thirty minutes later in the briefing room.
Sam looked at Teal'c to Daniel and Daniel just stared at the table and sighed silently to himself.
"I want an answer and I want it now!" He shouted and hit the table with his fist.
"Sir," Sam started an attempt at what happened, "She grabbed the device after a few hours after we found the room, and an hour after that she released it and fell unconscious."
"That's it? Do we even know what it does? What the effects are?" He drilled, he'd never felt so frustrated before. He was to emotionally involved in this case.
Daniel spoke, "We can assume she figured it out or we can assume, well I don't know."
"Do you think she figured it out?" Jack asked.
"I don't know." He responded.
"So all we know is you went there, found the room, read the walls for a while, she touched it then came out of whatever an hour later?" Jack looked at them all.
"Actually," Daniel started and hesitated. He didn't want to bring this up.
"Yes Daniel, care to add something?" Jack spat out.
"Before Sam and Teal'c came down Anna and I got into an argument." Daniel told them, "It wasn't what'd you call a real argument because I don't even know what it was really about. I tried asking her what was wrong but, I don't know she just got more defensive."
"Right thank you." Jack stood up and the wall phone rang. He answered, "Yes? What? What do you mean she's missing?"
Everyone looked at him. A cold feeling filled Daniel's stomach. He hung up the phone, "Anna's missing." He picked up the phone again and put it onto base speaker, "Attention all personal we have a missing patient on the loose, everyone is to search the base for Anna Anderson. Use caution she came in contact with unknown technology, we don't know if she's herself."
They could all hear the pounding of feet in the halls. Jack turned back to the group, "Find her." He ran out of the room.
Anna sat crouched in the training room. She hated hospitals. She knew well enough that it wasn't a hospital, but after what had happened.
She swallowed hard and buried her head into her knees and cried.
"I just can't get a break can I…" She said to herself.
"Anna?" She didn't move, "Anna it's me Sam."
Sam kneeled down next Anna and draped her arm over her shoulder, "You okay?"
"No…" She sobbed out.
"You wanna talk?" Sam frowned and stared at her friend.
"No…" She shook head.
"Okay…everything's going to be fine alright Anna." Sam told her reassuringly. Somehow Sam knew she was, it was just going to take time.
Somewhere in a far off galaxy.
"My lord the power device has been activated and we are tracking it." A Jaffa guard reported.
"Good, you have served your god well." An almost robotic voice sounded, "Get us to the planet immediately, I want that device now."
BOY do I have a suprise for you! I JUST FOUND ANOTHER CHAPTER! That means you get three! Yay!
