After placing their empty bowls on the counter by Neelix and bidding the alien man goodbye SG1 all headed towards the infirmary, B'Elanna and Janeway coming along too while the rest of the crew who they had been eating with, Tom, Tuvok and Chakotay, all went their separate ways.

They walked mostly in silence, Sam continuing to read through Daniel's notes as she walked, Jack making sure that she didn't walk into anything or anyone.

When they reached the infirmary they were met by the Doctor. "No ill effects from your incident yesterday I hope."

Sam shook her head. "I'm fine thank you Doctor," she answered.

He just nodded and began moving around the room, putting stuff away as he went. Janeway then said, "We need your help Doctor, Major Carter has a request to make of you."

The Doctor nodded and turned his attention back to Sam who said, "I have the same element in my blood as that that the machine was made of. I was hoping your equipment would be able to get a sample of it so I can use it to bring the machine that brought us here into this reality."

The Doctor nodded, "That should be possible. Why do you have this element in your blood?"

As he spoke he got the things he needed to do as Sam had asked and gestured for Sam to sit on the bed.

"It's the result of having a symbiote," Sam answered, sitting on the edge of the bed. "The symbiote puts it into the host's blood stream. A lot of the technology they use you need naquadah in your blood stream."

"You're a host to a Goa'uld?" Janeway questioned, not looking impressed, after the story that Sam had told them yesterday she knew that they were bad news.

Sam shook her head. "I was a host to a Tok'ra, Jolinar of Malkshur, but she died to save me," she said the last bit in a quiet voice.

Both Janeway and B'Elanna fell silent as the Doctor moved towards Sam, holding a needle to take her blood. As he got closer to her she stripped off her jacket, it was easier than rolling up the sleeve, and held out her arm for him.

Jack smirked at her and said, "You're going to fell a little prick Carter."

She raised an eye brow at him as Daniel chuckled, "Do you really have to so that every time any of us have an injection or blood test sir?"

Jack was silent for a moment, to the Doctor, B'Elanna and Janeway it looked like he was actually thinking over his answer but Daniel, Sam and Teal'c all knew that it was a show; he was just going to give his signature nonchalant answer. They were of course right, a few minutes later he nodded and smiled, "Yep, I think I do."

Sam shook her head and clenched her hand slightly as the Doctor withdrew a vial of blood; she had always found the feeling of having blood taken strange, even after so many years of physicals and tests.

Once the vial was full the Doctor moved away just as the door opened and Seven of Nine walked into the room. "You requested my presence Captain."

"Yes Seven. This is Colonel O'Neill, Doctor Jackson, Major Carter and Teal'c, the visitors from another dimension who helped with the repairs on the warp core. They know how to get home they just need to do it and Major Carter thinks that you will be able to help make the calculations necessary faster."

Sam nodded in her direction while Teal'c stood watching the room and Jack and Daniel both looked Seven up and down quickly before turning their attention elsewhere, not wanting Sam to accuse them of ogling or at least give them that look that rivalled Teal'c's, Daniel picked up his note book again and began looking at a few of the pages and Jack looking over at Sam and raised an eyebrow.

She nodded once before standing and pulling on her jacket again. Seven gave them all an appraising look before saying to Sam, "How can I be of assistance?"

Sam took a deep breath and jumped into an explanation that only she and Seven seemed to understand a word of, although B'Elanna and Janeway did get the general idea of what Sam was saying, both about how the machine worked, Sam had read through the translation quickly as they had walked just so that everything was in context, and about how to get the machine here so they could actually use it.

Jack just stood rocking on his feet, his eyes beginning to glaze over. Daniel carried on reading through his translation, there was nothing much else he could do and Teal'c looked over his shoulder, also reading through the translations. The Doctor walked around the room, carrying on putting everything in their correct place.

"So that's that," Sam finished.

Seven stood there and nodded before asking, "So what are you planning on using to bring the naquadah particles here? You said how but didn't say with what."

"When we got transported here so did all our kit so I should be able to macgyver something, if the Colonel doesn't mind of course." She finished speaking and looked expectantly at Jack who was still stood with a glazed over expression on his face. Janeway, B'Elanna and Seven didn't know what to do but Sam sighed and said louder, "Right sir?"

When he still didn't answer she looked at Teal'c who nodded once before saying, in a voice only slightly louder than his normal one, "O'Neill, MajorCarter was asking you a question."

"Huh right, yeah sure Carter, whatever you say," he said, jumping slightly.

Daniel rolled his eyes, "Did you get any of that Jack?"

He nodded, "Of course I did, Carter said some technically stuff that you know I never understand anyway and then said she can make a doohicky to get us home as long as I don't mind her using some of the equipment that came through with us."

Daniel shook his head incredulously while Sam bite her lip in an attempt not to burst out laughing, no matter how he behaved Jack O'Neill was smarter than he looked and he did pay attention to what was being said around him. Seven, Janeway and B'Elanna all shared a look and Janeway shook her head.

Behind them a machine bleeped and the Doctor came back over and said, "Major Carter, extracting the element from your blood is complete."

Sam smiled at him, "Thank you Doctor."

She took the vial he offered her and slipped it into the pocket of her vest before looking between Janeway and Jack and saying, "With your permission sir, Captain."

Janeway nodded and looked at Seven, "Go with the Major and see what you can do to help."

Seven nodded as Jack looked at Daniel and Teal'c, "What are you two going to do while Carter works her magic and I be my normal helpful self?"

Daniel shook his head before saying, "Not sure." He looked at Janeway and asked, "Do you have anything you need help with Captain? We won't be much help to Sam; we normally just get in the way."

Janeway smiled at him, "I'm sure we can figure something out for the two of you to do."

Jack clapped his hands together, "Right then kids, let's get this show on the road."
