Prompt: intergalactic planetary...

Somewhere in my mind are memories that go back to a life that I can only just recall, but one thing stands out: I remember always being fascinated by the stars. Not as portents of the future or messages from gods, but as worlds beyond my world.
Worlds I wanted to see.
Dismissed as foolish and a dreamer, I none-the-less sought the ability to shrug off gravity and travel into space. So when the offer was made, I accepted despite the price.
It is a choice I have never regretted, and the price has been worth paying.

Prompt: lost and found
Five times you lost something
1; Two solar systems to Sokar... sort of. Okay, I blew them up, but I wasn't prepared to lose them to him.
2; Ten thousand Jaffa to Qetesh. She claims this was not personal, but such is the drive to conquer and rule. Things I have put aside.
3; My attempt to gain control of the Jaffa council
4; Control over the Jaffa Teal'c
5; My passkey for my apartment (it happens to the best of us)
Four times you found something
1; The thrill of space travel
2; Discovering Tal'vak acid
3; The knowledge to create clones
4; The site of the Sangeal
Three times you took something
1; Ra's armies after his defeat at the hands of SG1
2; Control of The Trust
3; The database of Stargate addresses from the SGC
Two times something was taken from you
1; My lo'kar, to Jack O'Neill of all people
2; The Halcyon Tower
And one thing you held on to
1; Life
