So yes, he was glad that he was alive and mostly well. Even if the blindness was taking a bit getting used to.
But now he was just laying there....in bed...with nothing to do. And it was really getting to him. No books to read, no word puzzles...couldn't even do paperwork. It was getting to be more than he could take. All he could do was listen to people coming and going, most of them medical personell that he'd never met before.
"...on duty tonight. I have to watch that Go'auld lady." Daniel could hear a masculine voice saying as two people passed in the hallway. He guessed they were soldiers by the sound of their boots on the floor and what they were talking about. "Shouldn't be a problem, she hasn't really moved from her cot since she got there..." Their voices faded as they moved along.
A plan was hatching in the back of his mind. One couldn't keep a scientist's mind bored for long. He'd already timed the regular medical personell shifts as they came and left. The IV was out of his arm now that he was eating again.
When he was pretty sure he was alone, he carefully got himself out of bed. His legs were still a bit shaky but he wasn't going to back down now. Even if he was caught, he would have done something besides laying there doing nothing. He found his jacket thrown over a chair next to his bed and felt around in the pockets for his ID badge. He felt around carefully till he found the doorway out and made his way down the hall with a hand to the wall.
His timing was good enough, the people who passed were deep in conversation and didn't pay him any attention. Amazingly he made it to the elevator and stepped inside. Someone else was in there already...Daniel kept his head slightly down, trying to hide his white eyes and kept his badge in full view. "Where to, sir?" the young soldier asked.
"Uh, level 16," Daniel said, grateful that he wasn't going to have to push all of the buttons to try and find the right one. He knew he was on level 21 and counted the pings the elevator made till it reached the level to the brig.
Now finding the right cell, that was going to be a challenge.
