Summary: SG tag to the SGA ep "The Seed". Sam has a reaction to the anti-virus
Author's notes: *waves* This is my first attempt at a semi-long SG story. I've been kicking this idea around since the SGA episode "The Seed" aired. Hope you enjoy and please let me know of any errors or people not in character. I'm still catching up on the last couple seasons of SG.
Landry glanced up as General Jack O'Neill stepped into his office and shut the door behind him.
"Beckett on his way?"O'Neill inquired forgoing any pleasantries.
Landry nodded as he absently fiddled with a pen against the surface of his desk."Yes, just received confirmation from Atlantis."
Jack released a breath. "Good."
"We're doing everything we can for her."
Jack nodded tightly. "I know."
Both men were silent for a beat before Jack spoke. "Any confirmation on Michael's demise?"
"Not yet…..but we will."
O'Neill's gaze flickered to the desk that used to be his. "If the bastard's out there…."
"We'll get him."Landry promised.
Jack met the other man's gaze briefly before he turned and left.
Landry sighed as the door shut with an audible click. Some day he wished he'd never heard of the stargate.

As the others occupied the chairs in Carolyn's office Cameron stood against the right wall. His arms were folded against his chest.
It was taking all of Cameron's willpower to stay still. He knew fate was fickle or so the saying went. But Cameron couldn't believe that after all the good Sam had done over the years that this was the result.
After everything…..
After they had finally found happiness Cameron didn't want to think that it could be all snatched away…..before they even had a chance at a future.
"You didn't answer Vala's question."Cameron stated his voice coming out quiet and a bit hoarse.
Carolyn folded her hands in front of her resting them on the surface of the desk. "Colonel Carter has had a severe reaction to the anti-virus. Her system basically rejected it…..the virus has mutated and is no longer the same as what had infected Dr. Keller. This one has compromised Sam's immune system and it's begun to work its way into her heart. If we don't find a way to reverse the affects……"
"She will die."Teal'c finished.
"Dr. Beckett is on his way from Atlantis."Carolyn added. "I'm hopeful that with his help we'll be able come up with a new anti-virus."
Cameron caught the undercurrent in her tone. "How long?"
Carolyn shook her head. "We don't know."
"You have a guess, Doc."Cameron argued part of him not sure why he was pressing the point but the other part desperately needing to know.
"If her condition continues to deteriorate……we have approximately seventy-two hours."
