Why This Must Be Read: John's guilt and sense of anguish in this is palpable. There's a longing you can almost feel when you read this story as he thinks of all he could have, should have, would have done.
He’s always wanted to be a pilot. Always, ever since he can remember.
Always, and it strikes him as bizarre, thinking that this desire had brought him here, a dark room on Atlantis.
* * *
They’d gone back for Rodney twice. The first time the hive ship hadn’t cleared off yet – hoping, Ronon had pointed out, that they’d return for a fallen teammate. The second time the ship had left, left the small village smoking and ruined, no survivors that they could see.
The medical kits they’d brought in trade for grain were where they’d been first set down, the withered body of the village elder – Ylias, John remembered, who had been more than generous – lying next to them.
“Still full,” Teyla had said, opening one. “But…”
They’d left the medical kits there: trust the Wraith to put a tracker in them, or poison-pill them somehow. John had spared a brief thought for Carson, who’d been dismayed at the size of the requisition to begin with, and Weir, who would demand to know why ten fully-stocked medkits had been left behind on Etresca.
No Rodney. Ten useless medical kits found, one astrophysicist still missing.
He could hear the Wraith laughing.
