My entry for SG-1 Gen Fic Day, Alphabet Soup
For many years, the red shine of the Ring of the Ancestors had warned the people of Byrsa that it was time to flee, lest they be taken as hosts for the Goa'uld. They had sheltered in their caves until the danger passed them by and it was safe to emerge.
The Tauri had come, and they had forged an alliance with them. The Goa'uld did not come as frequently as they once had. Life was better, the children did not live in fear of the activation of the Ring.
Then the Ori came. The people of Byrsa heard that the people of other worlds were given a choice to accept a new master or to die. This was unacceptable. They did not wish to live in fear again.
And so, they did the only thing they could think of to protect themselves.
They pulled down the Ring of the Ancestors and buried it. They might be cut off from other worlds, but they would no longer be terrified of what might come through the Ring.
