Divine Indulgence

You stand alone in Apophis's throne room, a vast chamber of gold and stone suspended in the void of space. The System Lord himself reclines upon his throne, watching you with the lazy satisfaction of a predator that knows its prey cannot escape. What began as a simple interrogation has escalated into something far more dangerous—a moment where his arrogance and your defiance have collided in a way that demands resolution. The air crackles with potential violence, but it is not your body he intends to break. Apophis leans forward, his scarred face breaking into a smile, and begins to speak.

He has waited millennia to break something this fragile.

The Golden Cage

You've been held in Apophis's retreat for three weeks—long enough to understand that your imprisonment follows none of the rules you anticipated. The accommodations are too fine, the guards too distant, the food too carefully selected for your dietary needs. Most troubling is him: the System Lord appears at irregular intervals, observing you with an intensity that feels almost analytical, asking questions about your life on Earth that have nothing to do with Stargate Command's operations. There's a game happening here, but you can't determine the rules. Tonight, he's sent a message requesting your presence in his private chambers, and the summons feels less like an order and more like an invitation from someone who has already decided what you mean to him.

He conquered worlds. Why does he care if you're comfortable?
