Chapter One "Incoming wormhole!" Shouted Sgt. Siler as the red warning lights came on.
"Do you know who it is yet?" Asked Gen. Hammond worriedly. Only SG-1 and SG- 7 were off world and neither was due back until tomorrow.
"Receiving IDC, sir---it's SG-1!" "Open the iris SSgt!" The iris quickly spun, folding up on itself to reveal the calm blue surface of the open wormhole. The seconds slowly rolled by until a mass of people came through the gate all at once. Gen. Hammond saw Daniel Jackson and Major Samantha Carter standing near the front of the group, shielding what was behind them.
"Close the iris! We need a medical team in here!" Carter shouted as she quickly turned around to Teal'c and checked his charge. Gen. Hammond rushed into the gate room as soon as the iris was closed and marched up the ramp.
"Where is Col. O'Neill, Major?" He asked, unable to see behind her. Maj. Carter simply moved to Teal'c's side, allowing the General to see what Teal'c held limply in his arms. Col. O'Neill. He was wearing shredded BDU's that were covered in blood; a stark contrast to his ghostly pale face.
"What happened, Major?" He asked, shocked at his 2IC's appearance.
"We were taken prisoner by the locals, sir. They were working for the Gou'ld , Ba'al, and right off the bat, the Col. was separated from us for a little over 5 days. The head chief apologized for what had to happen and didn't allow any harm to come to us; he said that the information the Col. knew was all he needed. We escaped our cell during the night and found the Col. in a small box, bleeding and unconscious. We grabbed him and ran all the way back to the gate." By the time Carter had finished, the medical team had already placed O'Neill on the gurney, cut off all his clothing except for his boxers and had started an IV. They rushed him down the hall to the infirmary.
"Gen. Hammond, request permission to accompany O'Neill to the infirmary!" Teal'c said in his booming baritone.
"Granted. We'll conduct the debrief in 2 hours."
"Aye sir!", "Yes, Gen. Hammond", "Yes sir." The three rang out at once as they sprinted down the hall.

As they reached the infirmary doors, they discovered an MP blocking the doorway, at attention. As Carter attempted to move around him he sidestepped her and blocked her forward movement.
"Out of the way, Airman!" Carter barked out.
"No, ma'am. Doctor Fraiser told me no one was to be admitted unless they were medical personnel, injured or until her order was rescinded."
"When was this order given?" Carter demanded.
"As soon as she learned it was Col. O'Neill that was injured. She told me to tell you she'd be out to talk to you as soon as she could stabilize the Col., ma'am."
Carter's angry retort was interrupted as General Hammond arrived at the infirmary having heard the entire conversation between Carter and the Airman.
"There is nothing you can do for Col. O'Neill right now. Why don't we debrief now while Doctor Fraiser does what she can." Reluctantly, SG-1 and General Hammond left the infirmary to go to the Briefing room. The three members went through the mission details as quickly as possible. 45 minutes later the debriefing ended and the General gave a nod towards the door, not bothering with formally dismissing them. When one of their own was hurt, he allowed a certain extra amount of leeway with his premier team. He sighed as they once again sprinted towards the infirmary.

When SG-1 arrived at the infirmary doors, they were surprised to find the Airman gone and Nurse Silverman in his place. "Doctor Fraiser said you can come in now as long you stay out of everyone's way and leave within 5 minutes of seeing O'Neill." With that statement, Silverman opened the infirmary doors and allowed SG-1 to enter.
The first thing Daniel noticed was that all the beds seemed to be empty, but then where was Jack? He saw Janet quickly walking up to them and quieted the question on his lips so that he could hear how Jack was doing.
"Col. O'Neill is currently having an MRI. He seems to have a severe concussion which is our major concern at this point in time. He is extremely dehydrated and has lost a lot of blood. It looks like he was repeatedly stabbed with a long thin rod of some sort. I'm assuming that's where the majority of his blood loss occurred. His left collarbone is broken as well as both bones in his left forearm. He also has burns on his body that I would say were probably caused by electricity of some sort. His hands and feet are badly torn and it looks like they were ritualistically cut in the same pattern. He was also branded on the back with the symbol for earth. Guys, he was brutally tortured. All but his head injury are non- life threatening injuries and he should make a full recovery granted the head injury doesn't worsen."
At the end of Janet's run down of Jack's injuries, Daniel felt like he was going to throw up. Why did this have to happen to Jack? Hadn't he already been through so much already? Daniel's mind quieted as Jack's gurney was pushed back in and he was transferred to the infirmary bed. Once Janet had everything back in place she nodded to SG-1 to come forward and visit with their fallen leader.
"What did they do to you now, Jack?" Daniel murmured.
