Why This Must Be Read: Because Joe Faxon, impractical shoes and all, deserves some kind of happy ending... even if it takes a while to get there.


“Hello?” Joseph says into the radio. “Stargate Command? Are you receiving my signal?”

For one heart-stopping moment, Joseph hears only silence. Then a voice says, “This is General Hammond speaking. Identify yourself.”

“It’s Joseph Faxon, sir. I’m calling from Volian. It’s taken me this long to locate a working radio in the underground city.”

Again, Joseph hears only silence for a long time. Then General Hammond says, “Mr. Faxon, I’m sorry, but we cannot open the iris for you.” Joseph thinks he hears genuine regret in the general’s voice. “Volian is an Aschen-occupied world, and the Aschen are enemies of Earth. You can’t prove that you haven’t been compromised or that opening the iris won’t allow the Aschen to attack.”

Some part of Joseph thinks he should cry or scream or feel something other than the wave of numbness that washes over him. Maybe he’s always known that he can’t ever go home.
