skrobertsAnother drabble series, darn it. I tried getting away with only Teal’c’s point of view with “Despair,” but the muse just wouldn’t have it. “Despair” is now Part 4 of the now-named “Sacrifice.”
All parts are 110 words. (At least I got away from 108!)
Spoilers for “Lost City, Part 1” and “2”...
Succession of Sacrifice
Title: Sacrifice: Jack
Author: S.K.Roberts
Author's Note: Jack’s point of view.
The Goa’uld are such party-crashers.
I know this knowledge can’t fall into Anubis’ hands.
There’s only one thing that can be done.
Daniel can’t do it. He’s the only one who can translate on any serious level.
Carter can’t do it. She may be the only one who can figure out how to work the weapons. If we find them.
Teal’c can’t do it. It didn’t work on him last time. Probably no different this time, even without Junior.
Either way, I’m the leader. I can’t let any of them take this on.
I know I can handle it for at least a few days.
It’s has to be me.

Title: Sacrifice: Sam
Author: S.K.Roberts
Author's Note: Sam’s point of view.
I haven’t slept much.
I still can’t believe the Colonel did what he did.
It should have been me, though I know he would never have let me go through with it.
He’ll always put himself in danger rather than risk a member of his team.
I want to hate him for that, sometimes.
I know he has his own way of handling things, but someone should be with him now. He needs to know his friends won’t give him up without a fight.
He says it’ll be worth it if we do find everything we’re looking for to defend the planet.
I think the cost is far too high.

Title: Sacrifice: Daniel
Author: S.K.Roberts
Author's Note: Daniel’s point of view.
I haven’t left Jack’s side since the briefing with Bra’tac.
I’m afraid to leave him alone.
He’s getting worse.
More and more Ancient slips out when he speaks.
If things happen as they did last time, he’ll just stop talking altogether -- except when he really needs to.
This has to be frightening, losing everything that makes him who he is. Of course, he’ll never show us how afraid he actually is.
He looks so tired and worn.
He’s slipping away, and there’s nothing we can do. Not on our own, anyway.
There has to be someway to reverse what’s happened, to save him.
There has to be a way.
=====
Title: Sacrifice: Teal’c
Author: S.K.Roberts
Author's Note: Teal’c’s point of view.
The battle for Earth is done. The Tau’ri have once again triumphed.
While we should feel victory, there is only despair.
O’Neill is unmoving.
We are losing him. There is no other choice. He must sleep now.
His unnatural stillness disconcerts me as I carry him to his slumber.
Goodbye is too inadequate a word for saying farewell to a brother.
He truly has made the ultimate sacrifice. Gave more than his life, but his soul.
O’Neill is no longer O’Neill. Not dead, not alive, just a frozen shadow of the remarkable man he should be. A fate worse than death.
His expressionless, petrified face will stay with me always.
