Y is for Yearning Why This Must Be Read: This is a fantastic episode tag to Forever in a Day that almost reads as an episode in its own right. Full of drama and friendship and courage under fire, we get a focused look on Daniel's perspective as SG-1 performs S&R for another team - and recover themselves, too.
“Where is the rest of your team, Captain?”
“Trapped, sir. In a chamber with some kind of invisible force that’s hurting them.”
“I’ll assemble a team immediately,” Hammond assured him.
“I think we’re gonna need one of the archaeologists, and maybe one of the linguists, too, sir,” Evans added. “The door to the chamber has some unusual writing on it, and Doctor Cole thinks there might be a code on it that will release them.”
Doctor Maggie Cole was the archaeologist assigned to SG-11. She had been with the program about a year, and Daniel had worked closely with her during her orientation. She was sharp-if she thought translating it would release them, she was probably right.
“We’ll send someone to translate it, Captain. Get to the infirmary and get checked out.”
“Sir, requesting permission for SG-1 to do the S & R,” Jack said.
The general’s eyes flicked to Daniel before resting on Jack. Daniel knew Hammond was asking if he was fit for the mission. Was he? Daniel thought about Maggie, a woman he had recommended for the program. Bright, capable, young, with a family and her whole life ahead of her. She had something to live for. He couldn’t turn his back on her, not if there was a chance he could help her.
“Are you sure?” Hammond asked.
Now Jack turned his gaze on Daniel, who met the scrutiny unwaveringly. Before he could speak the words to convince Jack he could count on him, his friend faced Hammond and replied, “Yes, sir. SG-1 is ready.”
