No One Knew
Not many people cared that Calvin Kavanaugh was buried on the mainland on a warm spring day. His funeral was simple, with only a few colleagues present. No words were said as he was laid to rest. The sun fell on the shoulders of the lone Athosian man who filled his grave as those few who were present returned to the floating city.
In the hearts and minds of many people on Atlantis was a feeling of relief that he was gone. 'No more of his incessant whining,' thought one Marine. 'Thank God that arrogant jerk is gone,' thought a botanist. And although many people felt a niggling sense of guilt for their feeling of relief, the relief remained.
No one knew that Kavanaugh had obsessed so much over the little details because he knew from experience that it was those details that would always go wrong.
No one knew that Kavanaugh had killed two Wraith protecting three unconscious scientists during the seige of Atlantis.
No one knew that Kavanaugh had gone to Atlantis so he could make the world a better place for those he cared about.
No one knew that Kavanaugh had a wife and a four year old daughter on Earth.
