Daniel was jerked from his thoughts by the voice from above.
"Yo, tendril boy where she gone?"
Daniel looked about him to find Oma nowhere to be seen. He looked up to the sky, and rolled his eyes.
"Aren't you the all knowing voice?"
"No he's took a few days off, I am 'The Voice from Above'" said the voice from above, accentuating the name with a few booms.
Daniel rolled his eyes again.
"Tendril boy?" he asked already bored with the conversation.
"Sound's a lot better than Daniel Jackson, archaeologist extraordinaire." Said the voice with the hints of sarcasm which reminded Daniel of conversations past with Jack O'Neill. "Look you are what you are, a ball of all knowing, all powerful, tendrillly, light."
"Yes I know," said Daniel a little dejected and morphing himself into the physical body of his life before ascension.
"Hey don't forget you chose this"
"I didn't choose to sit around watching my friends struggle to fight a force as powerful as Anubis not knowing how powerful he truly is"
"Don't give the guy too much credit, he has less power than you think"
"Yeah and still more power than they think"
"Well they're on the ball now thanks to your help, which may I remind you has brought you to your current predicament"
"If you had descended Anubis correctly none of this would have happened. Trouble is he was even more powerful than you all thought, which is why he is what he is now"
"We did what we could"
"And I did what I could"
"Which wasn't much"
"I didn't ask...."
"For my opinion, yeah I know. Look I give you credit for trying to help them, taking on Anubis that was mighty big of you. But you broke the rules, major rules, you knew it would come to this."
"Well Oma de Sala hasn't exactly followed the rules, I mean come on, she ascended a whole planet of people. You know I had to move cloud"
"Oma is Oma, she saved those people from their certain death. Moreover, remember those people are your family. You on the other hand were interacting with other peoples life, their future."
"I couldn't stand around and just watch them losing the battle."
"You managed to when O'Neill was held by Baal, even then you were pushing it by offering him ascension."
"Well I was newly ascended then, I didn't realise how little we can do with this all knowing, all powerful life. I could have stopped Baal, destroyed everything he was working on. Jack knew that, I knew that, I was naive. I stood and watched him go through torture after torture and I did nothing. I did nothing and he teetered on becoming less the man he is."
"You wouldn't have been able to stop Baal. The powers that be would have stopped you before you had the chance. Maybe they had more faith in O'Neill and your friends more than you did. And you would have been in the same predicament as you are now"
"Promise me something if they do decide to descend me, make sure I don't end up like Anubis"
"Like Anubis, hell you better pray you don't end up like me"
