O'Neill has not spoken to me since Jonas departed. I must admit to being a little unsure Ð apprehensive. As I told him, it was our only real choice. He surely must understand that. He is a warrior, as I am.

There is no need for me to be concerned.

Ba'al is ambitious. Adaptable. He was the only one that I could be sure would accept the opportunity.

Grasp it.

We had only one chance and I had to make the decision.

O'Neill would understand that. You pick the weapon to suit the occasion. Ba'al was the right weapon. Emotions should not affect such a decision.

We needed to be sure.

    But I admit to being worried.

I find that I am pacing.

    Stop.

I do not pace.

O'Neill will understand.

    he must.

It is important that he understands.

It was not a decision that I came to lightly.

In my heart of hearts I knew what it would mean.

How it would hurt him.

    hurt him.

As Ba'al did. That cannot be forgotten. It can never be forgotten.

    I will not forget.

But I used the best weapon for our purpose.

O'Neill will understand that.

    he must.

I pace.

    Back

And forwards.

    he must.

He must.

    He will.
