Spoilers: Up to Seige Part 2
A/N: A little drabblish piece as a tag to the episode.
Refuge
Somewhere in another time the city had been brimming with life.Three fully charged glorious ZPM's and the magnificent shield.That's what they need, what the city needs.
Now what
do they have?
Her, with
Rodney at her side and John, flying out into battle.
Rodney trembles, hands shaking like he's had too much caffeine, drugs wearing off now his job is over. They're using him, like another tool in the box, and John too. Will either, any of them, come out of this alive?
Once the
Ancients ruled supreme but by now they all know the tale, how the
graceful people fled as surely as could be.
Tonight
the city is darkened, lit up only by the fire in the sky and the
flaming wrecks of darts lodged in it. Life slowly deserting them,
person by person, a casualty of war.
And right
now her heart is dark too, because they might survive still but more
importantly she wonders if those who comes out the other side will be
worth saving.
Is there
any true hope of victory or is it simply no one can let go, no one can
admit what's happening and like Earthlings have a history of, they
carry on to the end.
She
recalls the words, 'victory at any cost', they've paid so much that
she prays that they win, however that may be.
