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.

"It's my fault. I should've told her to pull them out first. We might've had enough time." The Tauren said, guilt lacing his voice.

Stacy released Jonas after a moment or two, and he slid to the floor like a puppet with its strings cut. He heard Humar talking, but the words washed over him without registering.

There was no sign of Cassie. No sign at all.

He scanned the area again and again, with the same results each time. For an eternity of several minutes, he did not even move. Then, finally, slowly, he rose to his feet.

"[Are you all right?]" he asked the Tauren as the first tears began to spill from his eyes.

"I can manage." said Cowabunga, as he pushed himself up the pod and pulled a strip of cloth out of his pack and began to bandage himself.

At least someone could.

Jonas turned on his heel and flew toward the Hub. He needed to get to the City quickly, and he would get there faster if he did not break Stacy's rules.

He and Shiva had business (http://community.livejournal.com/trans_9/493525.html?thread=35866325#t35866325).
