The End
[[OOC: Read this before tagging.]]
Shiva was about to scream some more at the council’s representatives when he heart the sound of his devices powering down. The force field flickered and shut down, which meant the power dampener was also inactive. The “god” had suddenly become very much a mortal, very much vulnerable…
And oh so very screwed.
“DO NOT COME ANY CLOSER!” This time when he yelled he was not smug or disdainful. He was terrified. “I WILL KILL THEM! I WILL—”
It wasn’t clear if it was planned. With the way Kawalsky’s body was twitching, with the way the sweat poured down his face, it could have been a mistake. Or it could have been intentional, if misguided. However it happened, it was a profound mistake, one the goa’uld would pay for with his life.
He pressed the trigger for the bombs. He had no way of knowing they had all been deactivated. All but one.
And though he was voiceless, though no one could hear him save for two telepaths, Kawalsky screamed. He had tried to help the crew. Communicating to the engineers any advice that could help them disable the devices. They wouldn’t have been able to deactivate them without him, not for a while. So many months after he had broken, he thought he could stop the goa’uld from killing.
He was wrong.

Re: Announcement and Reactions
The logical part of Axl's mind immediately considered the fact that if everything was on the same detonator, that meant seven bombs hadn't gone off. If there was no damage to structural integrity, then the explosion might not have been as big as they'd been expecting. All in all, things could have been much, much worse.
But reploids weren't built to think only with logic. And the emotional part of his mind was running through some very nasty curses and thinking about how much he wanted to punch Shiva in the face. It was better than thinking about who might've been in those pods --
No, don't even go there!
"How many?" he asked instead. "Stacy, how many pods were caught in that?!"
If Stacy was even listening. God knows they all had enough to worry about right now.
