Ronon was prepared to do all it took to take Ba'al down and he found a target for all of his anger. He slapped at his thighs then chest, a battle tradition on Sateda and a way of focusing himself in his red haze.

"You're not a g--" Ronon was cut off by a lunging Ba'al. The 'god' was stronger than he thought. Yeah, he took on Caldwell's goa'uld once and he was strong, but Caldwell wasn't as fit as Ba'al in front of him. Instead of connecting the dots, Ronon was completely surprised. He could only struggle to get Ba'al off him or him on top.
