Why this must be read:
This is such a perfect Sam Carter story, about her life a few years down the road, her relationships, her work, the decisions and choices she's made and how they define her world, from the first time she stepped through the gate until now, when she stands as the public face of the program.
“No,” she says. “I don’t. We reserve the stargate almost exclusively for contact with our outposts and allies on other worlds. We continue to explore new frontiers and work to maintain peace where our treaties require it.”
“We defend alien worlds?” someone shouts.
“With what?” says another.
“Spaceships,” says a third.
“What’s the annual cost of protecting other races?”
Sam tries to interject. “Congress evaluates the Stargate program as part of its annual budget,” she says.
“I thought NASA scrapped everything we had.”
“That was ages ago.”
Sam has become irrelevant at her own press conference; she had wanted to tell them about Bra’tac, about the Free Jaffa, about the worlds under her protection and the people who inhabit them. Instead, the reporters are arguing about the space shuttle program—someone has mentioned the Russians, but Sam doesn’t smile. She turns on her heel and wonders if anyone notices as she leaves.
