Why this should be read:
Set very early season 1, Jack's attempts at team bonding are interrupted when he comes down with an unfourtunate variation of the midas touch. Rheanna gives us a good Jack voice, a convincing portrayal of a newly formed SGC trying to deal with its very first alien contagion, and an SG-1 that's not quite a team yet. Jack's decision near the end is heartbreaking and very true to character, and in the end SG-1 comes together as a team for the first time.
"Oh God," I said when I could speak again. "Food poisoning. What a perfect end to the evening."
"Umm," said Daniel, in that really annoying tone he gets when he's right and doesn't want to be too obvious about it: "We're all fine."
I looked at him, and suddenly realised that I had chopped the meat, and poured the milk. I could tell from the expressions on the faces around me that Frasier and the rest of my new colleagues were thinking much the same thing. It was at that point that I began to suspect that I might have more of a problem than a simple failed dinner party come bonding session.
"I think you'd better stay in overnight," said Frasier. "Just in case."
"Right," I said thickly. I wanted to go home, but I felt far too grim to argue.
The Doctor gave me a comradely pat on the shoulder. "Congratulations, Colonel. You're my first patient here."
And that made me feel so much better.
