signals coming in now
Todd no doubt you're surprised to see me John Shepard you weren't looking so good
last time I saw you successful although it's painful you're just saying that to
make me feel good I was able to return to my position as a leader of the
Alliance although I have had a recent setback perhaps you can see what is
remaining of my shuttle behind me yeah nice landing don't be so critical
Shepard and your companions well some pilot error I was attacked by underlings
you'll excuse me for being blunt but why should we care the fact that he attacked
me that you can serve you yes rather how he managed to do it and how was that you
are familiar said p.m. are you kidding me that's what he said I don't buy it
why not well what they don't exactly grow on trees
he got betrayed by one of his own people no he wants us to help him clean up the
mess in a story it is possible that he mentioned the zero-point module simply
to get our attention except you would also have to know that sooner or later
we would discover the truth and in the meantime he's volunteered to place
himself in our custody not a very good plan well you can bet there's something
he's not telling us granted but that doesn't necessarily mean that he's lying
about the zpm if this is true it could be very very bad
my inefficient power generation is the Achilles heel of Wraith technology it's
basically the reason for every technological advantage we have if this
underling or whatever it is that Todd calls them is flying around in a zippy
empowered hive ship then it's a threat we can't tolerate
and we bought
well here we are again indeed this city has become quite
familiar to me almost a respite from daily life it would be a shame to see it
destroyed are you suggesting that if we don't help
you that would be a likely outcome
alright let's start at the beginning where did the zpm come from you recall I
managed to acquire a few of the devices of replicators city before it was
destroyed yes and they were lost when Colonel Sheppard took out the cloning
facility not all of them I may have acquired a few more than either at all
how many more let's not get caught up in unnecessary details I like details even
if I gave you a number you'd have no way of verifying it so what's the point all
right then tell me this why now you've had those zpms for over a year the
organic nature of the hive creates certain incompatibilities with ancient
technology I put my best scientists to work on this project and recently one of
them succeeded only he didn't want to turn it over to you he decided to keep
it for himself and now you want us to help you kick him to the curb what you
really need to know is that this hive is a work in progress
it has yet to reach its full potential which means if you attack it now you may
be able to destroy it but if you hesitate it will be too late and this
high will be unstoppable
colonel fucking good was it really necessary to remove my subspace
transmitter and force me to wear this ridiculous outfit well after what
happened last time on this ship you can't blame us I take it that my request
to be on the bridge only make contact tonight
understandable here's the problem every time we get involved with you I
feel like I'm walking around with a live grenade in my pocket and just waiting
for it to all go wrong for that one thing you forgot to mention I assure you
in this case ain't been down this road before if you really feel that way why
would you let me go after our last encounter we had a deal and you kept up
your end of the bargain and to be honest I didn't think you'd live if I find out
you're playing us I couldn't wait for authorization there isn't gonna be any
paperwork I'm just gonna kill you
what status colonel we're approaching coordinates you're
going somewhere yeah I dropped this out early before we get into sensor range
we'll check it out in the jumper that's not the plan
we can go in cloaked stay in touch through subspace on a secure Channel
that's what Todd says it is you can come in guns blazing all right let's be
careful
almost in a range cajon cloak all right getting readings
now it's a hive all right huh what I'm reading higher than normal energy output
I mean significantly higher consistent with the zpm yeah it's hard to say from
this far out Shepard what's your status can't scan some interesting reading so
we're going in for a closer look
I'm detecting massive energy output what's happening rolling the hell are
you talking about that's what they're doing with the surplus energy using it
to grow a larger and if I'm reading this correctly significantly denser outer
hull it can make you sense normal hives have a limit of growth you mean any
bigger or heavier and they become impossible to maneuver let alone get
into hyperspace when you make a simple left turn and you're torn apart by your
own inertia but with a zippe yeah you have to picture what does that mean for
us when they're done my guess is that hull will be all but impenetrable
all right well take them out of the picture before they get that far
well done they're powering the weapons
they can't see this right of course not let's just be really test holy crap
Oh what are the odds of them were in of my firing a test shot directly as I
would say given the enormity of empty space all around us to non-existent they
can see us
it was to figure out a way of increasing the sensitivity their scanners
guess something to do with the zpm probably catalyst we got a problem our
function effective we're on our way tickets in maximum sublight guilds up
yes sir
I drop my cloak and ain't doing us any good you know my children could fire
back thing at a time Rodney
controls a workout a bypass game and it's picking a beat on us Rodney where
good word sir we block the shot shield is holding all right now return fire
main battery full power yes sir
direct hit damage minimal ready missiles were gonna throw everything we have at
this guy sir I'm reading a massive energy buildup
we revert
shields are down heavy damage on all that we've lost hyperdrives main weapon
faces maneuvers to get to your the hit like that
alright you should have flight controls now what about weapons not a chance
something's happening
it doesn't make any sense most of our main systems were down these guys had us
dead to rights and they knew it why would they just fly away houses
precisely because they knew even no longer a threat it's not like the right
to be so charitable but Todd said the ship isn't finished right
they haven't adapted the full potential of Zev p.m. maybe the battle max the
mouth well if that's the case I'd hate to meet up with him when they do finish
it I need to get back to Atlanta since the prognosis in the hyperdrive control
systems are completely shot my guys are working on a patch but it could be days
even weeks before we're back online for the moment we're not going anywhere sir
what does it marks I think we may have something
Cavan I'm what the hell are you doing here
reassignment more fun and adventure in the Pegasus galaxy shows what you got
please it's a subspace signal we detected it
just before the hive jumped into hyperspace it was weak luckily I happen
to be monitoring the sensor or we might not have picked it up at all
Wraith code obviously we're having trouble deciphering it because the
message is interlaced with a residual radiation and I've never seen it before
I have once when we met another me and once when we encountered another
Daedalus this signal sent from another reality I'm sorry what the hell are you
talking about look some Wraith somewhere in another reality sent a coded signal
only whatever means they used to access subspace created a rift allowing the
signal to cross into multiple realities including our own so what does it say
just give me a second oh great what is it it's a set of coordinates coordinates
to what earth
you think that I picked up the signal wow house what they leave like that
can't be a coincidence the race know that earth is a much richer feeding
ground than anything in the Pegasus galaxy and me looking for those
coordinates for years all right as soon as communications are back up we'll
contact Atlantis haven't relay a message to Stargate command
wait a minute I got an idea how many ships we have available aside from
ourselves there's a follow in the Suns ooh how about the Odyssey
that's awesome secret mission even I'm not supposed to know about well then two
will have to be enough I suggest that hive may be super-powerful and all but
I'll bet it has to drop out of hyperspace at some point along the way
for whole regeneration I can use the sensor data from the jumpers to
extrapolate exactly where that'll be that sounds pretty risky if you're wrong
I won't be anyways we can't afford to wait till they get all the way to earth
my guess is that by that point they'll be fully adapted to this fpm
do it
sir Daedalus just dropped out of hyperspace it's about time
Colonel Sheppard and his team are beaming down colonel it's good to
finally have you all back what'd we miss well the good news is there's no
indication of any other Wraith ships heading for the Milky Way so as I
figured that signal was too short and too weak that ship only detected it
because of its obvious improvements to the sensors all right what's bad news
show them this is part of a subspace message sent by Colonel Ellis from
onboard the Apollo with those two ships out of the picture nothing stands
between that hive and Earth
there you are look I've been thinking so bye there is another ship that can help
defenders I know are standing on the city exactly the only problem VPN yeah
but if we want to get there in time to make a difference we need a full
complement where do you think I'm headed Rodney wait well things didn't go
exactly according to plan so I heard you intend to I'll be
responsible all I know is it everything went sideways the way it always does
when you're involved you tell me that's a coincidence then you've come to make
good on your thread the other zpm she talked to woozi about tell us where to
get him a maybe it'll improve your situation am I supposed to be enticed by
this offer no I'll probably kill you anyway
but don't forget this Wraith betrayed you and got away with it for no other
reason you might want to do it out of pure spite you know how to talk to me
John Sheppard
we got him he actually came through for us
he's turning over any relief get this down to the link immediately yes sir or
maybe they're gonna blow up when you plug them in have dr. McKay check them
first right into the chair actually colonel you won't be flying the city for
us in fact you won't be coming with us at all what are you talking about you
have a half an hour to pack and then you'll be gating back to earth even with
the zpm there's still a good chance we won't get there in time
and Earth's only other line of defense is the ancient weapons platform
general O'Neill wants you in the chair good luck yeah you too
Colonel Sheppard car it's good to see you again John all right
finished recalibration on the chair erratic how are things at your engine
teams are online functioning 1% okay who's flying this puppy that would be me
Carson they what they called you and for this I hire CIA and I thought excuse me
Sharon your face after do we have a ranking system well apparently have to
Colonel Sheppard on number two really look into that well thanks for the vote
of confidence right there I'm sure fine okay
suppose I'm ready brace the shield dr. Beckett take us out
so you're in command here huh well Lee until general Landry gets back she's
heading up a task force in Washington my next position is to take command of our
new Daedalus class ship Phoenix actually we're renaming it the general Hammond
yeah I heard about that sorry it was kind of sad heart attack I was offworld
at the time he was a good man it really was
so what's next c-130 down at McMurdo not exactly
Colonel Sheppard this is major Davis homeworld security
it's the hive ship who dropped out of hyperspace and established order on the
moons before you're gonna be kidding me it's not supposed to be here for weeks
evidently this is no ordinary hive ship no what's it doing for the moon
nothing best we can guess is its completing its zpm upgrades prior to
launching an attack and we gotta make a move first you got any f-302s we have a
squadron on permanent standby with the earth defense but those birds aren't
outfitted for anything more than fighter-interceptor duties there's no
way they're gonna take how long to fit them with nukes that could take some
doing I'll get right on it these pilots have any experience running the race
John that's not why I brought you here I could sit in the chair and wait for the
race to get stronger or I can take the fight to them what do you want to do
mr. Woolsey you wanted to see it yes come in please I wanted the opportunity
to offer you both one last chance to reconsider reconsider what your
involvement in this mission I'm told we're about to pass the outer edge of
the Pegasus galaxy if you wish to be dropped off now would be the time mr.
Woolsey we've all grown so accustomed to having you here as part of the team it's
easy to lose sight of the fact that your priorities are not necessarily always
the same as ours you're being asked to fly to another galaxy to take what might
turn out to be the losing part in a battle that isn't yours do you mean like
everyone on this base has have been doing for the last five years thank you
for your consideration mr. Woolsey but I assure you it is not necessary we're not
going anywhere very well
all right chuckle ready to go it's been a change of plans I'm afraid the refit
took too long I've still in lunar orbit but we've detected an inbound wave of
darts yes I got tired waiting any idea where the target is you think so the
Wraith message we intercepted contained a warning about Hearst offensive
capabilities specifically the drone share only in the alternate reality
where the message came from that looks like the chair been moved to area 51
that's where they're heading we believe so well evacuate the base let them hit
it when you bring the hide down we'll take him out from Antarctica all right
I'm sorry John I was gonna tell you this but tell me what the chair was in
violation of the Antarctic non-proliferation treaty after lengthy
international negotiations they finally moved it just less than a month ago
where area 51
all right colonel they're entering the atmosphere now should be showing up on
this crazy momentarily all right we gotta go fuck high range eight
kilometers and closing fast you are cleared to engage
good hunting Carl
we're seriously outnumber they'll never be able to keep them all from getting
Shepard - darts have disengaged they're headed for the deck come on reg here
with me
the darts are coming in too fast it's a kamikaze
man there's a shepherd if I see what I think I've seen it it's a nice try John
there was just too many of them chairs been destroyed
Shepard what are you doing I got an idea he's climbing rapidly he's heading into
the upper atmosphere Shepard your orders are to return to the base
I still got a no come on a finish this mission you don't have enough fuel
you'll never make it to the hive you got what he wanted he's gonna come
to us he's right the hive ship has changed course they're on their way
no fuel to establish orbit they'll shut everything down there's a basic life
support that way you won't detect me till it's too late even if that does
work given what we know about this ship one nuke is not gonna be enough Oh from
the outside no way for him to in orbit I'll fire my systems shoot my way
through the dark bay door and fly the damn bomb right down his door then I'll
detonate from the inside John I can't ask you to do that well you're not
asking I'm volunteering look about that chair earth is basically defenseless
right
right commencing radio silence ever down
what happened leading up to the hyperspace don't tell me where their Ord
are not even close from here to the Milky Way so then why did we drop out
well obviously we we're not sure doctor look the hyperdrive hasn't been operated
at full power in over 10,000 years it's not surprising there are a few glitches
right you can fix it figure out what's wrong first don't I
Zelenka in the meantime recalibrate our gate position so we can dial earth yes
so do I have to apprise them of our situation
the status the hive ship is almost trees to earth orbit they begin scanning us
any word from Shepherd not yet according to my best estimates of his trajectory
his orbit won't intersect with the hives for another twenty minutes okay now if
he flares up too early hold up the Texas presents and send out darts to intercept
I wouldn't stand a chance excuse me Carla what is it Walter we've
been trying to dial up the Alpha site to send through those Iowa dignitaries Ohio
a courageous to the end what's the problem can't establish a lock and it's
not just the Alpha site I've already tried a couple of alternates but for
some reason gates offline
open a channel so I get command this is Atlantis Stargate command this is
Atlantis do you read comm system is operating sir they're just not
responding okay this is weird I'm picking up an energy signature feeding
back through the wormhole it's Wraith the Wraith are at Stargate command
no these readings are more like something you pick up in the middle of a
hive but we dialed earth you don't think that's standard procedure
keep your victims from dialing out what are you talking about there's a gate on
the hive what the Wraith always try to block the gate of a planet
they're attacking usually by dialing and they couldn't do that in this case so
they came up with another solution you see when when two gates are in proximity
one supersedes the other usually it's the default gate unless it happens to be
a Milky Way model and the other ones on Pegasus we encountered exactly the same
problem on the Midway station we had to create a workaround to prevent the
Pegasus gate from always taking precedent you're telling me that worm
it's directly under the hive
that cleared the way some way to find out I should have sent more Marines for
them a full-scale assault wouldn't have accomplished anything if they're going
to sabotage key systems on that high if they're going to need speed and stealth
maybe I just hate being stuck out here in the middle of nowhere not able to do
anything actually something I've been wanting to talk to you about this is
something that that I've been working on for quite some time it's an adaptation
of an ancient technology which was abandoned because of instability and
enormous power of Glamis what is it what a mole drive it's nearly instantaneous
travel across enormous distances it's not only gate travel itself if it works
it could have us on earth in a matter of seconds now the calculations are
incredibly complex if we're off even by a fraction they could be very bad
all right
it is winning out yes No
Ronin
we're gonna get out of here now let's go let's go let's go
Shepard where are you I made it inside this place is swarming
with race so arming the nuke What did he say nuke James do me a favor Lana shows
up tell my second party Sheppard this is McKay okay yes it's me I've got Lauren I
got Taylor we're on board too high what how look it's a long story just
important thing is if you're about to do what I think you're gonna do
don't drive is meant attackers Ronnie I don't have much of a choice look just
wait we'll come to you I'm sure I can rig up some kind of a remote detonator
cuts that gonna do for us we can't get off the ship Rodney that's where you're
wrong this way
dr. keller i wanted to let you know that we're about to fire up the wormhole
drive if it works we could find ourselves in the middle of a combat
situation rather suddenly you and your staff need to be ready and if it doesn't
from what I'm told the city would be instantly vaporized
Oh
okay
you got your last people I expected to see on this shoe same here give me a
minute
what's wrong Taylor was Ronin sorry
I restored your life human and bound your wound that was real nice now you
will answer my questions
five has completed surface scan target military installations first then the
power grid was in the population into a panic then now launch the darts how many
humans are on my ship
how you doing chewy you were dead we're all gonna be dead unless we get out of
here
that's it powering weapons Shepard what's your status to the game how much
time five minutes to recalibrate the DHD for local coordinates ten minutes I'm
sorry the hive is powering weapons we're out of time
understood
detonator you're almost there I mean look I say five minutes we Calvin
you see I'm I'm in two minutes
wait
now would be the time doctor understood
if they're engaging live that way give us enough time to get to the game
sir the hive is returning fire
he's firing dr. Begich get to work right come on it
company
what's the enemy weapons - put those into a loader which is giving the
atmosphere dr. Beckett can you adjust our course I don't have enough powder
and keep firing and pull us up which is it gonna be
he's firing dr. Beckett
how's it coming right now I got it done the Alpha site now
Starbucks collapse
they did the hives been destroyed Atlantis is a Stargate command well done
thanks for the kind words colonel but I wouldn't pop the champagne just yet
we've lost orbit and dr. Beckett is unable to compensate we're going in do
you have enough shield to survive reentry
we're about to find out
Atlantis is a Stargate command do you read
colonel we've been monitoring radio chatter several commercial vessels in
the North Pacific have reported a giant fireball streaking across the sky
Atlantis is a Stargate command do you read Atlantis this is Stargate
command please respond
I hear you again colonel mr. Woolsey you gave us quite a scare
sorry about that
we've completed our reentry and as far as I can tell we're still in one piece
dr. Beckett thinks he can bring us in over water but you might want to alert
the Navy it's gonna be close understood we are tracking them again
you should be able to project coordinates for splashdown Walter you
better get me the president it looks like Atlantis is coming home
how are you feeling I'm ready to get out of here take your time
she's pretty banged up even with his e PMS we're not going anywhere for a while
and when they fix it you really think they're gonna let us
take it back to Pegasus well make sure you know this is my home
am i interrupting no I was just
I heard you died and came back to life pretty much there's a few things I still
need to do
yep for taking a walk I don't see why not good there's something you should
see
so all's well your home world was saved you and your friend survived and all
thanks to my zero-point module that's right of course she has what would
happen next to her is there going to be a next time
you have room for two more of course Ronen welcome to earth
no one can see us right we managed to activate the cloak before we came into
closed this entire area is under naval quarantine oh this is where everyone
went huh
you okay I'm alive and I'm got you little spiny
nice view yes yes it is
