STORY SIX: JACK'S SECRET ROMANCE

Jack needed no coaxing to remove this story from his memory. The case file mentions a major injury occurring within the first few minutes of the mission, and then Jack disappeared from the sight of his team. Daniel dialed home, but the team returned later on with back up, only to discover Jack, injury free, sleeping beside a lake with a smile on his face. The group is tested psychologically, since Jack's story was much different. Stargate Command decided to seal the mission, but Jack remembers it clearly.

"I was hurt very bad within a few minutes of exiting the gate. Some rocks slipped from beneath me and I fell into a ravine. While Teal'c and Sam tried to carry me out, Daniel dialed the gate. I was then beamed up by someone, but I couldn't tell who," Jack explained. He was sober for this interview.

Jack remembers nothing of the healing he endured, but he remembers the moments after he woke up from a deep sleep brought on by the pain.

"Time was much different on the ship. I felt like I had been there for months, and after the woman figured out my language, she nodded. I had been there for two years recovering, and she kept me there for two more. I contracted an illness about a month in, and she was there. That was all I could remember about her really. She loved me, but she let me get back to my team, saying that her people would need our protection. She promised to meet me whenever I passed away, but I told her not to bet on it being any time soon," Jack smiled.

We'll never know who this person was. A gou'ld ship blew it up, causing what Stargate Command thought was a supernova. Jack showed no emotion at the moment, but during this interview, he broke down.

"I felt so bad. That ship was the same one we couldn't fight completely. Those were the first days of Anubis, and they sucked. They killed someone who loved me, and I never even knew her name," Jack cried. "She'll keep her promise, I just know it," he sobbed, kicking us out as soon as he could.

This interview revealed that Jack O'Neill, as tough and sexy as he is, has a sensitive side, and he does care. He's been hiding these feelings for years, but can we make him surface them to see inside his complex mind? We'll see, but for now, we're leaving him be. We'll let the man recover a month or so, and then BAM, we'll there to ask more questions and get more answers more than anyone before us.
