He was being punished before he committed the crime.
Now that is a fascinating observation, and one I'd never considered before. I quite like your suggestion that Daniel was willing to sacrifice himself at that moment, but had never considered that he'd be whisked away to be punished before he could perform the act that deserved punishment. It makes his decision so much more reasonable - he was pulling a second Kelowna, albeit on an infinitely greater scale!
This was quite an interesting journey, Aurora. I especially liked the insertion of "real time" events - Daniel's witnessing of Bra'tac and Ry'ac when they are captured, for example. And the interactions with Sam were definitely nice!
Ganos Lal I get, but Jerome and Frank? Are they your own creations, or people we're supposed to recognize?
It's easy to see why this one was a struggle. You tackled a huge concept here - no pun intended! - and it came out very satisfyling. Thanks for sharing this.
