This card brought a maelstrom of emotions. Remorse; after all, who would blame him for wanting to be the only Jack O'Neill? Guilt. Relief; 'cause the only one should be the old one. Mourning; the cabin almost was his. He hadn't even opened the card yet. The front pictured an eagle in a night sky. The colonel had painstakingly drawn in a star as the eagle's goal. The inside was easier to understand.
'Bird - Star
Got a new parking spot.'
Accomplishment. Surprise. Confusion. Pride. Hammond probably got promoted. Carter soon would.
The clone mumbled his response.
"You're The Man."
