Spoiler:
Teyla dipped her head slightly and closed her eyes, pausing to gather herself, as she knew that the task ahead of her would not be pleasant..and would require all her concentration.
The visit to this world had only ever been intended as an exploratory visit. They had been unsure as to the actual level of technology they would encounter, as the preliminary scans had shown that there were indeed inhabitants, but there had been no power signatures as such, so a standard meet and greet mission had been agreed. Rodney, of course had grumbled at the' necessity of interupting his valuable research time..'whereas Ronon had jumped at the chance to get off world for a while on what should have been a 'safe' mission.
Teyla shivered slightly, the air under the shade of the trees was several degrees cooler than the warmth of the sunshine they had experienced during the journey from the jumper. It had not been a long journey, but because of the terrain, they had been forced to leave the jumper close to the gate and walk from there, through a rock strewn valley and into the tree line.
A soft moan drew Teylas attention to Johns face...ashen in the subdued light. His body was trembling, so Teyla removed her jacket and gently placed it over his torso being careful not to touch his leg.
Teyla had seen many types of injury during her time in her own settlement.. her people were hunters themselves and accidents happened in the course of their many travels searching for food, but this was different, this was her friend and to see him suffering cut her to the core.
"John, I need to dress your wound....I will be as careful as I can but...."
There was no response from the Colonel and for that Teyla was grateful as she knelt next to his leg.
