Looking down at his body he knew he had gotten off lightly, one of his legs were trapped under a rock but it was supported by more smaller rocks that were under it so the full weight of the boulder, which probably weighed a couple of hundred kilos, wasn�t on his leg, it was only pinning him there. His arm was also under a pile of rocks but he was able to push them away and curl his arm up against his chest.
He had been in the cave working on a translation for the Tok�ra that was supposed to tell them how to access a weapon that was supposedly inside the cave, but they didn�t account for the defenses placed around the weapon and so they didn�t have any warning when the cave collapsed on top of them.
Daniel tried to sit up but his head was pounding and so he lay back down, then looked around for the Tok�ra who had been in the cave with him.
She was three feet away but he could only she her shoulders and head, the rest of her covered in the fallen roof of the cave.
�Ileana?�
She opened her eyes and tilted her head slightly so she could see him better.
�I was beginning to think that you would never wake up.� She whispered.
�How long?�
�I am not sure, I awoke three of your Earth hours ago,� her voice was strained and was quieter then normal.
�The others would be back by now.� The rest of SG-1 had been waiting outside the cave and had been doing perimeter checks every few hours, they had been on one when the cave collapsed.
�Yes, they have tried repeatedly to contact you on your radio but you wouldn�t wake up.�
Daniel immediately moved a hand to his radio and pressed the button on the side.
�Jack? Jack, are you there,�
�Daniel!? You�re alive?�
Daniel chuckled, �You can�t kill me that easily.�
�How are you?�
�We�re both alive, Ileana is almost completely buried though and my leg is stuck under a rock.�
�Have you got any other injuries?� This time it was the voice of Doctor Janet Fraiser.
�Yeah, I think my arm is broken and I have a head injury but I don�t know how badly.�
�Alright we�re trying to get you out just stay awake, I want you to check in every five minutes alright?�
Daniel acknowledged the request and turned back to Ileana, �How is Kay�la?�
�She is doing her best to keep me alive but she will not be able to do so for long.�
�How long?�
Ileana�s eyes flashed and Daniel knew that it was now the symbiote speaking, �Ileana�s injuries are extensive; if we do not get out in the next hour then I do not believe that I will be able to heal her, even with the healing device her body would fail.�
Daniel spoke into the radio again, �How long till you can get us out of here?�
�Another 3 to 4 hours at the least,� Jack replied.
�We have that much time.�
�We have oxygen with us and we�re going to start pumping it in to you as soon as we can.� Sam said.
�That�s not the problem. Kay'la says that she won�t be able to keep Ileana alive for more then another hour.�
�We can�t go any faster without risking the cave collapsing on you.�
�Try your best. I�m going to trying and move over to her.� Daniel said trying to sit up again.
�Be careful what you move.�
Daniel didn�t bother to reply; instead he sat up fully and rested his head on a nearby rock while he waited for the room to stop spinning.
�Be careful Daniel, it will do neither of us any good if you hurt yourself even more,� Ileana was in control again.
When he was able, Daniel examined the rock trapping his leg with the small amount of light they had. Bending forward he was able to reach around the rock and touch his foot, which he squeezed through his boot to make sure he could still had feeling in his toes. He sucked in a sharp breath when pain shot up his leg.
He felt around the base of the boulder pinning him for a weakness then pushed it to see if it would move but only succeeded in causing him more pain.
He tried instead to pull his leg out of the gap between the cave floor and the rock but the gap was too small for his boot. Daniel hit the rock in frustration sending pain up in arm, but this time the rock shifted, onto his leg. He cried out and a moment later the radio came alive.
But before he could reply he lost consciousness again.
