Summary: Written for the
SGA Flashfiction's Post Secret Redux Challenge. The secret is
here.
My report was accurate and concise: an unsuccessful mission, three missing in action and presumed dead. No words could describe adequately how Lt. Colonel Sheppard had supported Dr. McKay while Ronon Dex carried Teyla Emmagan, or their grief at the culling of M4X-488 and the subsequent destruction of the hive ship carrying Dr. Keller and two Marines.
Although I informed the IOA that the weapons outpost activated by Dr. McKay had unfortunately self-destructed, I failed to include what I witnessed when I visited Dr. McKay's room unannounced.
I assured Colonel Sheppard that I wouldn't.
I sincerely hope he believed me.
