All That We Leave Behind - Chapter 3: Exploration
You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. - Lazarus Long R.A. Heinlein, The Notebooks of Lazarus Long)
The trail wound through green woodlands, at one point crossing a stream by the means of a stone footbridge. From the look of the foliage, it was high summer here. Cromwell suspected it might get quite warm before the day was over. He hiked along, keeping his senses tuned for any sign that he might be followed or watched. He'd taken up a long, thick branch for both a walking stick and weapon, since he had fallen through the gate unarmed. He'd rather have had his sidearm, but would have to make do with his hand-to-h

ATWLB Chapter 2: A Gulf Between Friends
There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills. Lord Buddha
General Hammond replaced the receiver in its cradle. Colonel O'Neill sounded all right, if a bit tired. Doctor Fraiser had likely made the right decision in sending him home to finish recuperating in his own house, rather than keeping him in the base infirmary. But it was only proper for him to be in attendance at the memorial service honoring SG-10. Frankly, Hammond wanted O'Neill back on base sooner
