“Not a bad painting,” said Bjornson, tilting his head. 

“At least it's accurate,” Colonel Larkin added. 

“What do you mean?” Sister Helena inquired.

“I'm referring to a painting of Dr. Rodney McKay and General John Sheppard that hangs in a palace on a planet in the Pegasus Galaxy. It depicted Dr. McKay as a hero, with General Sheppard cowering him fear.”

“That sounds…unlikely,” Fairbairn said, smiling. 

Colonel Larkin chuckled. “Yeah, it was quite the exaggeration. The actual events played out a bit differently. That painting did wonders for McKay's ego though.” He shuddered, remembering his own experiences with Dr. McKay.

“I can imagine. But it's nice to see SG-1 being remembered for what they did,” said Bjornsson.


“Indeed!” replied the Colonel. He turned to Simon. “It's a beautiful painting, Simon.”

“Thank you, Colonel. When I was elected mayor, I had it commissioned. My wife, Mary, and I had to remember what SG-1 looked like. Fortunately for her it was very easy,” Simon replied, his caution easing. 

He motioned for SG-24, Godric, and Edward to sit down at the table. SG-24 took off their packs and weapons and sent them aside. They sat down and Simon went out of the room. He returned to moments later with his wife Mary, and a little girl. SG-24 stood as a sign of respect. 

Mary carried a flask of wine. She said it on the table and curtsied. Mary was a middle-aged woman, who had a trim figure, braided brown hair with streaks of grey intertwined in the braids, and green eyes. Her simple blue dress accentuated her elegance. “Hello. Nice to meet you,” she said shyly. 


The little girl came forward with a tray of small cakes. When she saw Sister Helena, her face lit up with joy. Sister Helena also recognized the little girl's face, and her face too lit up with joy. Sister Helen knelt to the girl’s level, her face expressing joy and love. The girl set the plate of cakes on the table and ran up to Sister Helena, her arms extended in a hug. The two shared a tender embrace. 

“Aww! exclaimed Fairbairn. 

“Are you real?” asked the girl. 

“I am indeed!” replied Sister Helena. 

“But you wear strange clothes! I've seen you in a brown dress and a white cloak!”

“I do wear those clothes. But this is my special habit for traveling with my friends,” Sister Helena gestured to her teammates. Sister Helena pointed to herself. “I’m Sister Helena of the Cross. What is your name?”

“Maerwynn,” the girl said pointing to herself. 


“Understandable,” said Simon. “Come with me to the wardroom. We shall talk over light refreshments. He motioned for SG-24, Godric, and Edward to follow him. As they entered the wardroom, their eyes were immediately drawn to a large painting that dominated one wall. It was a masterpiece, capturing a moment of heroism and triumph. The painting depicted SG-1: Jack O'Neill, with his trademark confident stance; Samantha Carter, her eyes sharp and focused; Dr. Daniel Jackson, caught mid-gesture as he spoke passionately; and Teal'c, resolute and imposing, staff weapon at the ready.

They were shown vanquishing the Unas in a fierce battle. The backdrop was the village of Eversham, its inhabitants looking on in awe and gratitude as the heroes freed them from the tyranny of the Goa'uld. The colors were vivid, the brushstrokes meticulous, bringing the scene to life in a way that words alone could never capture.

I love the image and the history behind the Opera.  It's wonderful the general public came to hold the open deep in their hearts.

Thank you so much Jeanne for your thoughtful comment 🙏 

On March 3, 1875, Bizet's Carmen debuted in Paris. Though now considered among the most beloved operas, its initial reception was overwhelmingly negative, with critics widely condemning the work. Never despair! 

This image depicts a dramatic scene from a grand opera, featuring Carmen and a matador on a baroque-style stage. The scene is bathed in warm, golden light, with intricate details and opulent textures evoking the style of classic Hollywood and the Old Masters.
