Title: Not Contagious TtH Prompt: #92 Green Summary: SG-1 return from a mission in a different condition than when they had left. Not Contagious “Colonel, what in the hell happened out there?” Landry asked as SG-1 stopped at the end of the ramp. “It was the flowers,” Dr. Lam said, removing the hood from her hazmat suit. “They aren’t contagious,” she assured him. “Well, I certainly hope not,” he said, looking warily at them. “But how?” “It’s my fault,” Buffy admitted a bit reluctantly. “I had picked the flowers yesterday ‘cause I thought they were pretty.” “Yes, but I was the one who chose to camp next to a field of them,” Cameron said in a tone that suggested this was not the first time they had discussed it. “It’s not like you knew.” “Neither did you,” he retorted. “But I should have sensed…” “Now you have a spider sense,” Cameron interrupted irritably. “But I still don’t see how just being around flowers could have caused… this,” Landry said, trying to head off the argument before it got worse. “It’s a chemical that the flower releases,” Lam said. “I’m not sure of its purpose because I’m not a botanist, but it clearly causes a reaction in human physiology.” “But they’re… they’re…” “We know, sir,” Cameron said through clenched teeth. “May we be excused to shower?” “Dr. Lam?” “I don’t see why not,” she said. “There is no trace of the chemical on them, I believe it was inhaled. There is no reason why they can’t return to normal…” “Normal would be nice,” Vala said with a sigh. “Return to normal activities as long as they stay on base,” Lam concluded. “Very well, go ahead,” Landry said with a nod. He couldn’t help but stare as they filed past him and out the door. He turned back to Dr. Lam. “They’re…” “Green, yes.” “Well if that don’t beat all,” he said with a shake of his head.
