"Just let's get out of..." she started to protest when he stubbornly objected, and then he was looking right at her. Right at the gut wrenchingly accurate statue of Qetesh.

The Goa'uld that had slaughtered tens of thousands of Ba'al's Jaffa in her body and the Goa'uld that had made her watch as men and women alike died in crippling agonised torture at her feet.
Vala's eyes glazed over, stiffening her jaw to bite back any tears. She refused to get emotional about it. "What?" she snapped at him caustically, "I'm sure they got that one wrong too, just like all the others."
