She had decided that instead of sitting in her office for the thirty minutes that remained before she got answers that she was going to sit in the conference room. She put her laptop on the table in front of her and made a start on the seemingly never ending paperwork that came with being in command of an expedition to another galaxy.

As she filled in all the forms she thought about what Teyla had said. What kind of story would she need a well-rested brain to believe? She shook her head and concentrated on the laptop in front of her. She typed up some more but then stopped; she could swear she could hear John gently calling her name over and over, Elizabeth, Elizabeth. She shook her head again, he was in the infirmary unconscious there was no way she could be hearing him. It didn't stop the voice but then she heard footsteps coming into the room and looked over the top of the computer.

Teyla came in closely followed by Ronan, Rodney, Carson and Rachel. Elizabeth smiled at them all and shut her laptop before pushing it to the side.

Everybody took a seat and Elizabeth said, "Before we start I want to know exactly what happened between your gating to the planet and John being brought back unconscious."

Teyla nodded, "We gated to the planet and Rodney took some soil samples while we checked the immediate area. Then we walked to the wooded area we could see since we could also see smoke in the trees and wanted to see if we could find the indigenous people."

Elizabeth nodded and Teyla continued, "John decided that if we split up we would make better progress, so we spread into a line about twenty five metres apart. John took one end while Ronan was on the other. We couldn't see each other and every fifty steps John would make sure we were all still together and alive."

Again Elizabeth nodded. It was standard procedure if they gated to a world where there was no obvious Wraith presence.

"At one point we stopped and checked in again and when John didn't check in I made my way to his position. When I found him a called for Ronan and Rodney and we carried him out of the trees so we had more room. We hadn't heard anything so we didn't know what had happened. Once we got him back to the Stargate Rodney dialled Atlantis and asked for a medical team while Ronan and I tried to see what was wrong with John. We couldn't find a mark on him and it looked like he was just sleeping but we couldn't wake him."

Teyla stopped talking and Rodney took over. "Then Carson came through with the medical team and took John back through the gate. Carson stayed and gave us all a quick check since we wouldn't go back through the gate until we found out how to help John."

"We headed towards where we could see the smoke after Carson had gone back through the gate, and we had promised to stick together," Teyla continued, "And we found a little hut in a clearing and Rachel was sitting outside by a fire. We introduced ourselves and asked if she knew what had happened to John."

Elizabeth nodded and turned her attention to Rachel. "I wanted to apologise for last night, for leaving before you explained."

Rachel shook her head, "No need to apologise Elizabeth, you needed your sleep and I was honoured to be able to stand in the city of the ancestors."

Teyla spoke again, "Rachel, can you please tell Elizabeth what you told us."

Rachel nodded and took a breath before beginning. "There is a story among my people. It is said that there is a spirit in the forest that can sense when someone is in love." She paused for a moment, and Elizabeth wondered where this story could be going. Rachel continued, pulling Elizabeth out of her thoughts and back into the story. "It is said that if the person is in love and with the person they love that the spirit will leave them alone, the same as if the feelings are not returned, but as soon as someone in love who is not with the person in their hearts enters the forest the spirit makes it so that only their loves kiss will awaken the effected from a deep sleep."

"Like Sleeping Beauty," Rodney butted in. both Elizabeth and Carson raised their eyebrows at him while the three aliens looked confused. Rodney looked at his hands and mumbled, "My sister liked it." He looked at the still raised eyebrows and then at Rachel before saying, "I'm sorry, please continue."

Rachel continued to speak, "It is a story, nothing more, or so I thought before until Teyla told me what had happened to John. I think the spirit is what caused you friend John to fall unconscious."

And there you have it, what's wrong with John :)
