Hear me, my queen and my mother, you who gave me life. Hear me now as I stand before my killer.
I put a brave face upon my host, but we share a mutual terror that transcends even her powerful hatred of our kind. It is because we lurk in the shadows.
My life's work, to be destroyed in an instant! And by nature, I selfishly cling to the one word which has carried me through this secretive life since I was but a spawnling. Hope! Hope! I say this to my killer, and he is unmoved.
Selfishly, I do not want to die.
Curse you, Shol'va, my queen and my mother! You, who betrayed the gods to give me free will! Hear me now as I face this torture!
Had you only bestowed upon me the full knowledge and history of our people, perhaps I would be revered among them. Perhaps I would have my own slaves, my own servants, who would fear me as one should fear a deity.
This pain! Try as I might, I cannot shut it out. I reach toward the conscious mind of my host and shut it off. There is no reason for her to have to endure the punishment for my crimes.
We've known each other for but a short time, and I love her even now.
Oh lauded Egeria, my queen and my mother. You, who gave me your love and devotion. Hear me now as the end draws near.
May I choose wisely.
I sense my host's companions all around me, and I know that, because of them, the Ashrak's attempt at assassination was cut short by mere seconds. His mistake has put me in a position to save one life.
Selfishly, I do not want to die.
With the last of my energy, I could survive. The doctor stands above me, close enough to reach, but I am already pouring the last of my life - your life, my mother - into my host, an unwilling participant in this interstellar game.
Be with me, Tok'ra, my queen and my mother. You, who dared oppose the false gods. Hear me now as I slip away from this world.
If tales of the god of the dead are true, I fear even my own death. May they be as false as the Goa'uld themselves.
Selfishly, I imprint myself upon the mind of my host, that my life's work may live on within her. I do not want to be forgotten.
May I join you among the stars
