SPOILERS: Minor ones for too many episodes to list.
WORD COUNT: 1,903
DEDICATION: For cyn because she she wanted one from the point of view of "Someone who's not exactly a 'friend' of Jack."
AUTHORS NOTE: The views expressed in this fic are of one, Senator Robert Kinsey, not me or my muse, so hurt him and not us!!! Thanks go to my beta, Cyn.
I can't believe that arrogant son of a bitch managed to get himself out of trouble again. When I'd heard that O'Neill had managed to get himself captured by that Goa'uld, I almost threw a party. I thought for sure I was finally rid of that meddling bastard. I should have known better. He's been a pain in my ass since this program started. With all the times he could have gotten himself killed, but managed to avoid it somehow (like the time he narrowly avoided freezing to death- O'Neill as a human Popsicle, now there's a nice dream), I thought for sure he would accomplish the task this time. Even when he did manage to get himself killed previously, one of his friends always found a way to bring him back.
He has more lives than a damn cat.
That goes for the rest of SG-1 as well. I don't worry too much about them because if I can just get rid of O'Neill, it will be much easier to rid myself, and the SGC, of them. Hammond needs to go too, but he'll be easy enough to get rid of, once O'Neill is gone. He would have been out already if not for O'Neill sticking his nose in where it doesn't belong. Again.
O'Neill is the cancer infecting the SGC and I fully intend to cut him out so I can get competent people in there. People who understand the importance of obtaining technology we can use against the Goa'uld, not to mention our enemies here on this planet, by any means necessary. "Morals" be damned. This is a war, for God's sake!
The people I bring in will share my point of view on this matter. At the very least, they understand how detrimental it can be to their careers, and freedom, to go against a very powerful US senator.
O'Neill has spoiled way to many deals that could have been very useful, and profitable, to the United States. So many valuable resources and weapons have been lost because of his meddling.
I have put together quite an extensive report over the years documenting O'Neill's incompetence, failures, and shortcomings.
TECHNOLOGY/INFORMATION LOST
- It started with the alien traitor, Teal'c. We could have learned a lot from experimenting on that Goa'uld he carries in his gut. Not to mention what we could have learned from interrogating the alien himself.
- O'Neill and his team helped the Tollans escape and hid behind the archeologist to avoid a Court Marshal. The Tollan technology was the most advanced we'd seen up to that time.
- The trinium from that Indian planet could have been extremely valuable. Tribal rights my rear end. They weren't doing anything important with it anyway. We should have went in with a strike force and taken it. By force if they tried to stop us!
- There's the naquadah we could have gotten from the planet with the Goa'uld imposter.
- That orb could have been a very powerful weapon. So what if it pinned O'Neill to the Gateroom wall like a deranged, oversized, butterfly in a display. We could have found a way to contain and use it. The incident never would have happened if it had been transferred to Area 51 right away, as it should have been.
- We could have learned a lot experimenting on the alien when he was bitten by that alien bug and started to transform. O'Neill ruined yet another excellent opportunity.
- The weather control device the NID team brought back was invaluable! I can only imagine what could have been accomplished with it in the proper hands. Rain in time of drought, warm temperatures when freezing ones could have destroyed crops, bringing down a tornado or hurricane on an enemy, and so many other applications.
- Who knows what we could have learned from the Orbanians methods if O'Neill hadn't interfered. Then he has the gall to take down my operation (not that anyone can prove I headed it, Maybourne was the perfect patsy) and ruin our best chance of obtaining alien technology and saving ourselves! If the Tollan and Asgard were truly our friends as O'Neill proclaims them to be, they would have shared their technology with us freely and we wouldn't have had to use other methods to obtain them.
- And let's not forget the deal with the Eurondans- what we could have done with that technology! So what if Alar was a Hitler wanna be? It's not like we would have let him see the outside of a cell anyway.
- Then there's all the technology we lost when O'Neill blew the deal with Administrator Calder and his people. He was also, although indirectly, responsible for us losing a very powerful weapon by letting Major Carter and that ascended (or whatever they call it) guy interfere.
- He blew the deal with the Aschen big time, too, and got a US Congressman killed in the process. He never provided any proof of what he claims they planed to do.
And the list just goes on and on.
TIMES HE HAS ENDANGERED THE PLANET
Everyone raves about all the times he supposedly saved the planet, but they so easily forget all the times he endangered it.
- Like bringing the alien's brat here. That capsule he had in his mouth could have killed us all!
- Then there was the alien girl with the bomb in her chest.
- The time he almost got the whole planet sucked into a black hole.
- Don't forget those metal bug things that damn near over ran the planet, three times, because of him.
- There's also the fact that he is the primary reason Earth is back on the Goa'ulds' radar. If not for him, they never would have come back here. Apophis never would have sent his fleet here and they wouldn't have sent that asteroid at us. And, most recently, the attack by Anubis.
That list is long as well.
He's insubordinate, aggravating, self-important, annoying, sarcastic, has a complete disrespect for authority, and is about one of the most ignorant people I've ever had the displeasure of meeting. Honestly, I don't know how he ever made the rank of colonel. Or how he made officer at all for that matter.
After the amount of times he disobeyed direct orders, he should be in Leavenworth right now, not leading a front line team and being Hammond's right-hand man.
COMPROMISED/INFLUENCED/POSSESSED BY ALIENS/ALIEN TECHNOLOGY
This list is long, too -
- Starting with him not realizing one of his men, Major Kawalsky, was infected by a Goa'uld, which was another lost opportunity to study one of them. (See also PERSONNEL LOST)
- Next was that disease that turned everyone into cavemen.
- Then he got himself turned into a Jaffa by Hathor. Not to mention the fact that the entire base and all of the males within it were compromised. It was only thanks to the base's Chief Medical Officer and the other females on the base that she was stopped.
- There was Major Carter getting herself taken over by a Tok'ra (which they thought was a Goa'uld at the time).
- There was the time he, and this really shows his lack of intelligence, stuck his head into some alien device and had all their knowledge dumped into his brain.
- He was also infested with a Goa'uld.
- That alien that put that device in their brains making them susceptible to its suggestions compromised the whole team.
- There were those armband things that, supposedly, caused O'Neill, the Major, and Doctor Jackson to disobey orders.
- It may have been very brief, but those water creatures took over Teal'c.
- And let us not forget the alien entity that took over Major Carter. We still don't know exactly what it was.
- Oh yes, and the time that the alien defected back to his Goa'uld master. Of course, O'Neill claims he was brainwashed, but I don't buy it.
And that's only about half of the list in regards to that issue.
PERSONNEL LOST/INJURED
O'Neill is either directly or indirectly responsible for deaths of over a dozen SGC personal. Good men and women, dead, because of him.
- While he didn't "pull the trigger" so to speak, he gave the orders that led to Major Kowalski's death. In my book, that's the same thing as murder. He did shoot and kill that scientist friend of Doctor Jackson.
- He responsible for the men and women who died rescuing him and his team when he allowed himself to get captured by Hathor. If he had killed her when he had the chance, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to capture them. If he was a competent leader, he wouldn't have led his team into a trap.
- Hell, according to his own mission report, he killed Major Carter on one occasion. The fact that she was later revived is beside the point.
I'm not even going to start on the inappropriate relationships he has with his teammates.
EXPERIMENTAL VALUE
I would love to get O'Neill in one of our NID labs. He claims the Asgard removed the Ancient database from his mind, but I don't buy it. Even if, and I seriously doubt he is telling the truth, he has the Ancient gene. That alone is worth experimenting on him. Not to mention the fact that, with all the injuries he has suffered during his career, and despite his advancing age, he still recovers remarkably quickly from even severe injuries with little to no lingering effects. I'd sorely love to know how that can be. There's also the fact that the Asgard seem unusually interested in O'Neill. Despite his proclamations that Thor "likes him" and everyone's assumption that the Asgard in general like and respect O'Neill, I think there's something more to it.
There's so much more about him in my report. Don't even get me started on his team. For a military commander, he gives them way to much leeway. Major Carter and Doctor Jackson shouldn't even be on any SG team, not to mention the front line team. Especially Jackson. Oh sure, I agree he's knowledgeable enough in his field, but he is a civilian! The fact is, he shouldn't be at the SGC at all. At most, he should be in a lab, doing translations and that sort of thing. Major Carter should be behind a computer screen. We all know where I stand on the alien.
Despite all the evidence of his incompetence and recklessness, O'Neill has got everyone from the to the Air Force Chief of Staff President to most of the Joint Chiefs singing his praises. It doesn't matter now, though. He really screwed up this time. By the time I'm through with him, Colonel Jack O'Neill will be spending the rest of his days in a nice, white, padded room. At the very least, he'll never walk through the Stargate again. Either way, he'll wish the Goa'uld had finished him off. His career is over.
I could go on and on about why I despise O'Neill and about his inadequacies as an office, man, and human being, but I'll put it to rest for the time being. Right now, I have to see a psychiatrist about said, soon to be ex, Air Force Colonel.
