I stare at the beer bottle in my hand, and look at the man sat opposite. He looks as tired as I feel. Hardly surprising, he’s been through so much – lost his wife, his family. But so have I.

 

I realise that although we are complete opposites - he is everything I am not - we are alike in many ways. I know that a deeper connection has been made. It was there when we parted just over a year ago, and I felt it the moment we met again on Abydos.

 

We are very alike, Jack O’Neill and I.
