Why This Must Be Read: This is a real treat: a long, detailed drama in which Sam and Daniel struggle off-world, using one another's strengths and their unmistakable rapport as the Science Twins to get themselves - and a badly incapacitated Jack and Teal'c - safely back home again. You'll devour this story and enjoy every minute of it!
"Here," she pointed to a particular component, then located it for him on one of the drawings. "This piece? You see how disconnecting it from the DHD crystal would compromise its integrity?"
"Uh, sure." Daniel peered at the drawing and then the device. Jack was right: it was like trying to make sense of a pile of slag. "Okay, no; I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Here; see these embedded lines? They're obviously conductors," she told him. "Think of the piece as being a kind of alien solenoid; if you interrupt the coil, it's not going to work."
Yes, okay, that made sense to him now. He could see a tiny gap where he'd disconnected the component from the DHD. "So, you have to bridge that gap before it'll work. Do you have to do that to all four spots where it was connected to the DHD?"
"More like rebuild the coil than simply bridge the gap, unfortunately. I have to pry up the entire length of the conductors on all four units, and re-seat them." She pulled a small tool kit out of her pack." If you're willing to help, it'll go a lot faster. I know you're good with intricate work, but this will be really painstaking," she warned him.
Jack let out a huff, carefully easing himself down onto his back. "Like laborious isn't already his middle name, Carter. Good time to take a nap, T. You two just wake us when you're done."
