Beep-beep, beep-beep.
It’s soothing.
It’s almost hypnotic.
I really ought to get up.
Soon.
But I’m so tired.
Maybe I’ll just open my eyes.
In a little while.
*******************
Beep-beep, beep-beep.
I think it’s a heartbeat.
I think I’m in the infirmary.
Someone here must be very ill.
I hear them talking.
"Critically ill."
"serious condition."
"head injury".
I wonder who it is?
Maybe I should look.
Daniel, can you hear me?
I know that voice. Who is it? Sha’re? No, that’s wrong.
I’ll give it some thought.
Later.
********************
Beep-beep, beep-beep.
I’ve just realized, this person who’s ill, I think they mean me.
But that’s silly.
I’m not ill.
I’m just.
Tired.
********************
Beep-beep, beep-beep
I never noticed before, but my head hurts.
I mean really hurts, not just like a headache, but like someone -
Someone hit me on the head.
Teal’c.
No, not Teal’c. Teal’c would never hurt me.
Teal’c saved me, I remember that.
I remember.
So who hit me?
P3R something something something.
No, concentrate.
P3R773. That’s it. Friendly. At first, anyway.
Then Apophis showed up. With his Jaffa.
I remember a fight. They grabbed Sam. I tried to stop them.
Teal’c shooting, Jack shouting.
Don’t remember anything else.
Beep-beep, beep-beep.
Except that.
Back where I started.
Daniel, can you hear me?
She’s poking at me. I wish she would stop.
Beep-beep.
And that beeping is starting to annoy me. I wish they’d turn it off. I can’t sleep with that noise.
Hey! Maybe I could ask them to turn it off!
I just have to open my eyes –
but I’m so tired.
No, must tell them –
must open my eyes.
Daniel, it’s time to wake up.
Yes, it’s time to wake up.
Familiar faces around me. That’s Dr Frasier, she’s the voice, the one who’s been poking me.
And there’s Sam, and Jack, and Teal’c. Hey, the whole gang’s here.
Well, hello, Dr Jackson, I’m glad you’ve decided to wake up at last.
Wake up? Don’t they realize I’ve been awake all along? Just resting my eyes, that’s all.
And I try my hardest to smile.
