1. “Not your fault, guys. Don’t blame yourselves. [radio silence] Did you hear me, Jack? Jack?!!”

“I heard you, Daniel.”

“But you don’t believe.”

“I heard you, Daniel.”

“I’ll come back to haunt you if you guilt yourself!”

“No you won’t.”

“I will. I really will.”

“Won’t!”

“Will!”

“Won’t”

“Will!”

“Robots, Daniel! No Soul!”

“But conciousne—“

“Oh, God! Daniel!”


2. “Do not grieve, my comrades! I have avenged my father’s death. Cronus is dead, the original lives, and I die free!”


3. “Sir, Jack, if you can hear me, It was an honor to serve with you. I l—“


4. “T-man?...Teal’c?...Carter?...Sam?!!...Saaam!!!”


5. [A voice slowing and deepening as the batteries fade]
“Charlie?”
[Silence. Not even an empty channel hiss.]

Yeah, well I do confess to being a shipper, but I was trying to be kind to the other shippers. If they squint really hard they can see #3 as about to be continued by "--oved Daniel, and now I'm going where ever he went." or "--et Daniel have you, and I'm glad now I did. You to were so right together." or "--iked the couple you and Teal'c made. So strong. So non-verbal." Then they can see #4 as simply being upset at finding himself alone.

But being a Sam/Jack shipper, I don't really need to squint, do I? ;)

lol, way to cover your bases

Of course I missed one very popular option"

"I l-iked the way you kept us focussed on the team and the mission. Romantic relationships would have interfered too much with the team dynamic. Very astute, sir!"

tsk, I would have been happier if you'd forgotten that one ... no, I would be happier if THEY forgot that one.

Nah, I defend to the death their right to feel that way, and their right to write it that way, but I'm less likely to read their stuff unless they excel as writers with a good eye for character (cf. aurora_novarum or fignewton whose writing I love!)

Ohhhh.... *sniffle* You did a great job.

Re: Five Final Internal Radio Communications Of Robot SG-1

[thothmes.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you!

Re: Five Final Internal Radio Communications

[lolmac]

Ooo, YES!! Loved them!

Re: Five Final Internal Radio Communications

[thothmes.livejournal.com]

Glad to have pleased you!

Awww! As each one...aw...

And #5 at the end. *sniffle* can't type. Have to wipe face.

Of course if that Jack is really encountering Charlie, it presents a certain problem later on, when flesh-and-blood Jack joins them, because in any situation, Jack can't stand to hang around himself, and there's just one Charlie, and Mini!Jack will be coming some day too...

It kind of makes one wonder exactly what it is in the internal experience of Jack O'Neill that he bothers himself so. Is it the existence of Dark!Jack, the knowledge that his thoughts are often less noble than his deeds in someone who sets really high standards for behavior, or simply a feeling that his only true value lies in his uniqueness ("I think you'll find he's not like other people!") and only he knows how much of this is posturing instead of genuine idiosyncrasy? I'd love to know!
