The Apprentice: SG-1 Series

Chapter Eight: Out of Mind

Cold, all I felt was cold. The kind of cold you feel after just coming back inside from playing out in the snow. The kind of cold that made you just want to curl up in a blanket and drink a cup of hot chocolate. My head felt fuzzy and for a second, I couldn't seem to breath. My eyes snapped open as I gasped for air, and a woman suddenly rushed into my line of sight.

"It's okay, Adolfina. You're in the SGC, you're going to be fine," She placated.

I tried to talk but my voice wouldn't work. My throat felt raw and it hurt to try and speak.

"No don't try to speak. Give it some time," The woman instructed.

Suddenly a man appeared on my other side and laid a hand on my bare shoulder.

"Welcome back to the land of the living, Adolfina. I'm Major General Trofsky, this is Doctor Raully," Trofsky stated.

I felt confused. Where the hell is Fraiser? Why isn't she here? What the hell happened?

"Maybe we can try to answer some of the questions that are probably weighing heavily on your mind," Dr. Raully suggested.

I nodded my head.

"First of all, I regret to inform you that everyone on your team...Dr. Daniel Jackson, Captain Samantha Carter, Colonel Jack O'Neill, Skaara, and a Jaffa named Teal'c, are all deceased," General Trofsky informed.

I stared at him for a second not really processing what he was saying. My friends, my only family, is dead? I felt tears reach my eyes, but I held them back, now wasn't the time to break down. They were all dead, but how?

"As a matter of fact, I imagine everyone you ever knew is probably gone now," Dr. Raully said.

I gave her a confused look.

"Adolfina the year is now...2077," General Trofsky stated.

My eyes went wide, and my jaw went slack. Oh my god, what the hell!!!!

A little while later

I was lying on a bed in a set of futuristic white clothes. There was a tube attached to my chest, and I could see a green substance in the tube. I couldn't get the images of my team out of my head. The thought that they were all really gone didn't seem to want to process in my mind. It was as if they were still alive.

"Hey, how are you?" Dr. Raully asked, resting a hand on my shoulder.

"Very confused, what happened?" I asked.

Raully sighed and shook her head.

"We were hoping you'd be able to tell us. You and your team were sent back through the Stargate already frozen, we're guessing by some advanced culture. Your CO at the time, General Hammond, and a Doctor Frasier, felt that to thaw you without the proper technology would probably kill you. They put you in a deep freeze until such time as the technology was developed that could safely revive you. You've been in cryogenic hibernation for almost 79 years," Dr. Raully explained.

I felt like crying, I felt like screaming and shouting. There was just a large blank in my mind. I couldn't remember how I got put into deep freeze in the first place. My team is dead, the man I love is dead, everyone I've ever known is dead. And I have no idea how it all happened.

"Doc, what happened to my team?" I asked, glancing up at her.

"Their bodies were sent back, but they were already dead," Dr. Raully answered.
