There has been no character I have ever despised more than Doctor Keller. I would go into the details, but I'll spare you a lengthy commentary. This is pretty much what the title says: 100 Ways Dr. Keller Died. I've never written fanfiction before, so I decided to go for something somewhat easy.
Be forewarned there is character death contained within, if you haven't already guessed. If you immensely enjoy the Keller character, I suggest you not read these. If you feel the same apathy/distaste for her that I do ... Read on!

"Unscheduled offworld activation!"
Chuck announced the unexpected incoming wormhole from his usual seat in Atlantis' eloquent control room. As the opaque shield was raised over the rippling, blue puddle, the gate technician received an IDC - Colonel Sheppard's, and more than a few hours unanticipated. Several Marines, guns ready, had already began to crouch in strategic positions around the gate room before Sheppard could explain the situation through his radio. Dialing in this prematurely - especially in the case of Sheppard's team - could never be a good sign.
"This is Sheppard, we're coming in hot!" John's voice boomed over the radio as Chuck lowered the shield. Momentarily after, Rodney McKay emerged through the gate, followed by John and a surge of gunfire. A rather tremendous explosion shook the gate room, damaging the elegant staircase and throwing more than a few marines and scientists off their feet. Eager to disconnect, Chuck sighed with relief as Ronon Dex and Teyla Emmagan dashed through the blue horizon into safety. Not wanting for anyone to get hurt by the incoming fire, he reached out and swiftly tapped the button to raise the shield.
As his fingers began to take it's bearing off the button, a shout made him jolt his head up. "Do not raise the shield! Doctor Keller is still coming through!" an urgent Teyla alerted him. But as the gate deactivated, everyone in the gate room knew the damage was already gone. Feeling accountable, Chuck held his head in shame; he had done it for everybody's safety, and Teyla had warned him after he pressed the button, but reassuring himself was no use.
John, Teyla, Rodney, and Ronon stared at where the active wormhole had just been in astonishment. Rodney's mouth gaped open in shock; Sheppard couldn't believe what just happened. Teyla stared in bewilderment, while Ronon looked on, hiding his remorse with cold eyes.
None of the team had known the doctor for very long. Teyla found her to be rather bothersome, but she felt a great loss at this unfortunate incident. Being a blonde, Rodney had admittedly developed a small crush on the doctor. Ronon had never really had a conversation with her, but she held a slight resemblance to his dead wife, a notion he was either disturbed or intrigued by. John had only had a few small conversations with her; this was her first time off-world, a late addition to this mission's team, which was only intended to be a friendly check-up with some locals.
Whether or not she was their friend, the team felt some level of accountability of what had happened. If Sheppard had notified Chuck of the last-minute addition. If Teyla had called out to Chuck earlier. If Ronon had hustled her along faster.
One thing was certain; Doctor Keller was never to be seen again, lost in the depths of space and time.
