"Sam" Janet said gently leading her out, Hammond following behind only calling into the control room to lock out Sg1's iris codes. Janet had taken Sam to the infirmary and was debating sedating her as she seemed to be in a state of shock. As she got the needle Sam grasped her hand
"Please no drugs" she begged, Janet put the needle down
"Feel like talking?" she asked, Sam shook her head but began anyway
"How can I sit here knowing if I gave myself up then they'd let them go, how cowardly am I hiding here behind my protectors" Sam said angry with herself, Hammond came in as Sam stood up
"I'm going to do it" She decided hoping she could escape when she got their and Sg1 were released,
"No Major and that's an order" Hammond replied
"But Sir" Sam protested raising her voice
"That is an order Major" Hammond said as Thor beamed down
"The alliance agree with General Hammond, for the future of this universe we cannot allow you to go" Thor said while Sam lost it venting all her stress and frustrations with everything out
"Why wasn't I allow to go you knew! Didn't you? You knew Anubis would be there to catch them and you still let them go" Sam yelled
"Our protection only extended to Jacob and Samantha not the rest of SG1" Thor explained
"So you handed them over to Anubis, and now I am going to get them free" Sam screamed heading out of the infirmary, Thor looked grave
"We cannot allow that" he said gravely as he beamed Sam out taking just as she reached the door
"We have placed her into protective custody for her own safety" Thor informed them before beaming out before any protests could be made. Janet looked at Hammond
"What are we going to do Sir?" She asked the situation seeming hopeless
"We wait see what the Prometheus found in the lost city and hope some how it can help" Hammond suggested not really having control of the situation
"Meanwhile we will send a MALP to co-ordinates see what is there while I don't expect SG1 to be there but we have to check it out Anubis must have left something to lead Sam to him if she went" he decided, Janet nodded glad they were doing something to help even if it was only a beginning.
While Janet tidied up the infirmary Hammond went to order the MALP and had the rest of the SGC teams geared up in case they were needed. As the MALP travelled up the ramp they waited nervously to view the images it sent back, when it did it wasn't good 10 super soldiers surrounded the gate, Hammond knew that if he sent anyone in they'd be instantly killed and since conventional weapons didn't seem to work he was stuck
"Close down the gate" he ordered leaning forwards to the microphone
"Stand down men" he commanded not being able to justify the lives of 6 SGC teams for 3 members not when it was certain death. Ignoring the disappointed and frustrated looks sent his way he retreated to his office wishing for some good news to make a change.
As he began to start paperwork a white light beamed in Ferretti with Jake,
"Hi Sir we can't find Major Carter on any of the scans of the planet and Jake wants his mum" he explained holding out the child, Hammond took Jake settling him down
"The Asguard have her to stop her exchanging herself for Sg1" Hammond informed him
"Is that why he kidnapped Sg1 to begin with" Ferretti guessed, Hammond nodded
"We believe so" He confirmed, Jake wriggled so Hammond set him down, Jake grabbed paper and began drawing, Hammond gave him some colours
"But the Asguard won't let Sam swap herself saying Anubis would just make another child with the same powers as Jake" Hammond explained, Ferretti shook his head
"No I have to agree it doesn't sound good to give him that much power" Ferretti offered as his opinion, Hammond nodded,
"But if you could save your team by offering yourself?" he threw out there
"I'd do it in a heartbeat" Ferretti replied as most the SGC would 3 lives for 1 made sense to them.
"So what did they do with her?" Ferretti asked wondering if Sam was prisoner
"I think they put her into stasis until Sg1 return" Hammond said not sure
"Grandpa" Jake said tugging on his leg handing him a piece of paper Hammond took it expecting it to be a picture of a house of a person, but what he got wasn't what he expected……
Again a huge thanks to everyone who reviewed their were loads and very useful
