Daniel slowly pulled into the base parking, "By the way did I happen to mention before I dozed off that you should go get a check up?"
"I think you may have mumbled something about it." She pouted.
He smiled, "Don't worry." He said backing up into a parking spot, "I'll get things set up, you get checked out and by the time were both done we can start our translating, together."
She rolled her eyes and got out of the car, "Fine, fine."
"Thank you." They walked into the base, showed their clearance and got onto the elevator.
"So is Sam the only one who knows about our date?" He asked scratching the back of his neck nervously.
"Yes, why?" She looked up at him, "Is someone nervous that someone's partial relative and their boss, is going be angry at him?"
"No!" He said to quickly, "No, that would be childish."
"I like childish." She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
He stood still, surprised by her action. She just kissed him and basically told him that he was cute. He felt like a fish out of water at the moment with his mouth hanging open.
The elevator doors open and low and behold Sam was outside the door with a big grin on her face, "Anna!"
"Sam! What are we excited about?" Anna grinned.
"Well…" Sam looked at Daniel.
He smiled and looked back and forth between them. Then he finally got it, "Oh! Well I'll leave you two alone, Anna remember get check up!"
"Nag! Nag, nag, nag." She shouted as he walked down the hall.
"It's because I care!" He shouted back as he turned the corner and continued down the hall with a smile planted firmly on his face.
It didn't take Daniel long to find the photo of the walls on P3G-467. However assembling them upside down and in the right order was a different story.
"Crap…" Daniel said to himself looking at pictures.
"What about?" He stiffened. Jack walked up next to him looking at the pictures on the wall, "Aren't these old?"
Daniel swallowed, "Um yeah, we think there might be something still in them. Another message."
"We?" He raised his eyebrows.
"Uh yeah Anna and I." He ducked his head into his pictures.
Jack nodded slowly, "When did this conversation happen, I was with her all of yesterday."
"Except yesterday night…" Daniel mumbled.
"Excuse me, didn't catch that. I'm going deaf in my old age." Jack smiled and looked at him.
"We talked last night, after dinner and a movie." Daniel told him.
"Oh," Jack suddenly became stiff, "really…Where's Anna now?"
"She should be in the infirmary," Daniel said as he pasted another photo to the wall, "There we go, don't know why I thought 6 was 9…"
"Infirmary!?" Daniel didn't even have a chance to explain he was already half way down the hall.
Jack burst into the infirmary and saw Anna sitting on a bed with Sam sitting next to her in a chair. He walked up to her quickly, "Anna are you alright?"
She smiled up at him, "I don't know anymore?"
"What does that mean?" He stared at her with a stern look.
"It means exactly what it means, 'I don't know anymore.'" She told him, "Twenty four hours ago I could've told you I just had headache, now it's quite possible that aliens are in my head."
"What!" He looked at Sam.
"I didn't know until his morning, sir." Sam he looked at her, "Dr. Remmington, still processing the MRIs and the blood work."
"How long has this been going on?" Jack touched her arm with concern.
She shrugged, "A while, I guess, it didn't really get bad until a few days ago."
Jack was so inclined to just scream at her, but he knew that it wouldn't help if he did, "I want to know the results as soon as you get them got it?"
"Yes, sir." And smiled and gave a small salute as he turned to leave, "Hey wait, how did you know I was here?"
"I talked to Daniel." He told as he continued to leave.
"Wait wait wait, come back here." He sighed and turned to her, "What did you say to him?"
"I didn't say anything." Jack told her, "Why does everyone assume I say something?"
"Because normally you do." Anna told him. Sam snorted unable to hide her enjoyment of Anna's comment from her superior, "Well if you didn't say anything then what did he say to you?"
"He said you guys talked after dinner last night." It was obvious that he wasn't entirely happy about that.
Anna eyed him, "Were you mean to him?"
"What?!" He spat out quickly.
"Oh good you're here General." Dr. Remmington walked into the room carry a few charts, "I have Ms. Anderson's results and I thought you should be present for them."
"Alright, well, go for it Doc." Jack made a large motion with his arms as if to say take over.
"Well your blood work came back normal, but" Remmington took a deep breath, "the MRI showed similar imagery to that of General O'Neill when he had the Ancient library in his head."
"Similar as in how?" Jack asked concerned.
Remmington pulled out the MRI readings from the folder he held. One was labeled Anderson, the other O'Neill. They looked nearly the same.
"My guess is the device is some what the same. It's a database of something." He explained to them all, "There's nothing I can do to treat what she's experiencing."
Jack looked at Anna. She had that awful grin on her face. It was something she was always good at, hiding that she was scared.
"Anna, if you need time off…"
"Sir I think her time would be better spent trying to figure out what's wrong don't you?" Sam interrupted, "After all only she and Daniel know what the writings say."
Jack didn't like being wrong, but Sam was right. The only thing he could is offer help when she needed it now, "Right exactly, but I do order that when you need a break you take it, young lady. I know what it's like to have junk in the head, done it a few times. Kinda reminds me of the 70s…." He trailed off.
"Of course…right…my I leave now?" She asked.
"I can't hold you." The doctor told her.
"Good." She hopped off the bed and headed it down the corridor.
Jack looked after her, "Sometimes that girl is more trouble…."
Sam stood next to him, "Aren't we all though."
"No! We're never any trouble? We actually express ourselves! She!" He realized his voice began to rise, "She hides her feelings. She always has since her parents died."
"Sir?" Sam didn't realize until now that the relationship between Anna and him was that close.
"If anything happened to her I don't know what I'd do…" He set his jaw, "It'd be like losing…"
He didn't have to finish for her to understand where he was going, "Sir, I think she's found someone to talk to."
"Really?"
"Yes, he's been through a lot and he's considerate, now that he's gotten to know her." Sam smiled.
Jack sighed, but again knew she was right. There were things that Daniel had experienced that were more similar to Anna. Especially since she had re-experienced all of Daniel's memories.
"Well, he better treat her right or there's gonna be one less archeologist on this planet."
