In all of my time loyal to the Tau'ri, I do not believe I have ever
seen Major Carter so upset. She is a woman, scientist, and warrior at
heart. I have usually seen the scientist or the warrior, but the woman
has surfaced of late. I feel that it is a good change, but the
circumstances in which this has happened could have been better. Many
have attempted to give comfort to no avail.
General Hammond found a way for O'Neill and Major Carter to be
together. They were to marry in less than a month. I was happy for
them, and I told them this. Then O'Neill was killed in an explosion. As
of yet, I am unaware of what transpired, for Daniel Jackson and I were
located elsewhere. Perhaps if I approach Major Carter, she will inform
me this time.
I recall when this began. I had fought beside the Tau'ri for four
years. I looked on as O'Neill and Major Carter confessed their
feelings. What happened next, I have not yet figured out. For several
more years, they denied what had happened between them to the point
where Major Carter was going to leave the SGC, but General Hammond
thought it best she become a liaison between the SGC and something
called NORAD.
Everything was fine until our mission to P4A-779 led us to a race with
a powerful weapon of destruction. I do not know what occurred to cause
the device to arm, but both O'Neill and Major Carter were to fix it,
while Daniel Jackson and I studied some artifacts near the Stargate.
Suddenly, Major Carter ran to the DHD and began selecting the symbols
to return to Earth. There was an explosion, and I heard her say
something concerning O'Neill. We stepped through to the other side
without a word.
We were immediately sent to the infirmary, where Doctor Fraiser
released us after a thorough examination. At the debriefing, Major
Carter would not give details on what happened. She merely told us he
was dead as she held his identification tags close to her chest.
General Hammond seemed to understand, and called her to his office
afterwards, most likely to let her give more of an explanation in
privacy.
In losing O'Neill, we have all been given a deep wound that will
hopefully heal with time. The people of the Tau'ri have lost a great
warrior in the fight against the Goa'uld.
Colonel O'Neill, wherever you may be, I salute you. You were a good
friend and colleague. It was a pleasure to fight by your side for you
cause.
