1 00:00:00,042 --> 00:00:02,336 Previously on Stargate Atlantis 2 00:00:03,045 --> 00:00:04,213 It's headed for the city! 3 00:00:04,505 --> 00:00:06,673 - What's it doing? - Scanning us.. 4 00:00:08,091 --> 00:00:10,469 Now the dart sent a transmission deep into space, 5 00:00:10,511 --> 00:00:12,387 and then it self destructed before we could get to it. 6 00:00:12,429 --> 00:00:15,349 - We scanned the area with our deep-space sensors and.. - What are those? 7 00:00:15,349 --> 00:00:17,434 Wraith hives ship. Three of them. 8 00:00:17,476 --> 00:00:18,268 Where are they headed? 9 00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:21,688 If they maintain direction and speed, they'll be over our planet within two weeks. 10 00:00:30,072 --> 00:00:32,366 We knew they were comming, at least now we know when. 11 00:00:32,449 --> 00:00:34,284 - That's something. - That's something? 12 00:00:34,326 --> 00:00:37,579 There's still time, Rodney. There's no reason to panic... 13 00:00:38,830 --> 00:00:40,916 - yet. - Where there is time, there is hope. 14 00:00:41,291 --> 00:00:42,835 Agreed. So recommandations? 15 00:00:43,001 --> 00:00:46,046 - Other than panic? - Other than panic, yes! 16 00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:51,051 I realize this might not be cool, but we should consider M7G-677. 17 00:00:51,426 --> 00:00:53,804 - As a possible evacuation site? - No ma'am. 18 00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:56,515 I'm suggesting we take their ZPM. 19 00:00:56,932 --> 00:00:58,642 Their only means of protection from the Wraith? 20 00:00:59,518 --> 00:01:01,895 A planet populated mostly by children. 21 00:01:02,312 --> 00:01:08,151 He raises a valid point. We've already established the ZPM is nearly depleted, but it could be of some limited use to us. 22 00:01:08,318 --> 00:01:11,113 You asked for suggestions. It's a matter of survival. 23 00:01:11,488 --> 00:01:12,573 I see. 24 00:01:13,532 --> 00:01:18,078 We're not quite there yet. And as long as I'm in charge, we will never be there. 25 00:01:18,245 --> 00:01:19,580 I agree doctor Weir. 26 00:01:19,621 --> 00:01:23,625 If this is to be our end, it is best we face it with both dignity and honor. 27 00:01:23,709 --> 00:01:27,129 - To that end I actually have an idea, in addition, to panic. - Let's hear it. 28 00:01:27,379 --> 00:01:32,467 It's really a long shot, but I think it's most likely worth the effort, of course the most to be my efforts... 29 00:01:32,509 --> 00:01:33,719 What is it? 30 00:01:33,969 --> 00:01:37,389 I think we can send a message back to Earth through the Stargate. 31 00:01:37,514 --> 00:01:39,808 - Excuse me? - I thought we didn't have enough power. 32 00:01:39,975 --> 00:01:43,353 Not to send a person, no. We'd never be able to maintain the wormhole long enough. 33 00:01:43,604 --> 00:01:46,690 But I think if we would be able to tie together all of our power generating capabilities, 34 00:01:46,773 --> 00:01:51,486 we might - and I emphasise might - be able to establish a wormhole long enough to send a message. 35 00:01:51,486 --> 00:01:53,030 How much time are we talking about? 36 00:01:53,697 --> 00:01:56,408 Aproximatly, 1.3 seconds, give or take. 37 00:01:56,617 --> 00:01:59,828 - That's not much time. - Time enough to say S.O.S. 38 00:01:59,870 --> 00:02:05,709 Don't be so analogue. 1.3 seconds is more than enough time to send the message if it's in the form of a high compression data burst. 39 00:02:05,751 --> 00:02:08,670 Now, I helped refine the encoding for the US Air Force a few years back. 40 00:02:09,004 --> 00:02:13,217 - Colonel Carter should be able to decipher it on the other side. - You're suggesting this now? 41 00:02:13,258 --> 00:02:17,429 Because it probably won't work, and there's a very good chance it could overload our naquadah generators in the process. 42 00:02:17,429 --> 00:02:19,640 Well then we can't take the risk! 43 00:02:19,890 --> 00:02:22,434 No power, we won't have a chance in hell. 44 00:02:22,476 --> 00:02:27,814 There are three Wraith hives ship on the way, Major. Desperate times call for desperate measures. 45 00:02:28,106 --> 00:02:31,109 Besides, I spent the last few days working of ways of minimizing the risk. 46 00:02:32,486 --> 00:02:36,615 Assuming it's possible, how much information can we send? 47 00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:42,955 Everything. I mean, mission reports from all the senior staff, a ton of stuff on Atlantis, things we've learned in Pegasus. 48 00:02:43,288 --> 00:02:46,166 - All that? One second? - One point three. 49 00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:50,754 You jest, but if I could finesse the compression ratios, you'll be looking for things to add. 50 00:02:55,717 --> 00:02:58,011 - Do it. - Doing it. 51 00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:17,322 Elizabeth, you realize that if Stargate Command was able to send help.. 52 00:03:17,489 --> 00:03:22,286 I know. They would have. But still we've the responsability to report what we've learned here. 53 00:03:22,494 --> 00:03:25,289 - About Atlantis, about the Ancients.. - The Wraith? 54 00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:27,791 Exactly. We have to warn Earth. 55 00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:29,793 Even if it's the last thing we do? 56 00:03:29,918 --> 00:03:32,087 Especially if it's the last thing we do. 57 00:03:36,884 --> 00:03:41,013 Season 1: Episode 17 Letters from Pegasus 58 00:03:45,434 --> 00:03:49,771 Team24 and SG-66 for seriestele. net and Forom. com Transcript: stargatedanielfriendly. net 59 00:04:38,612 --> 00:04:41,448 They don't seem threatening, those dots on the screen, do they? 60 00:04:41,657 --> 00:04:44,451 Which is why we need to do recon and see what we're up against firsthand. 61 00:04:44,952 --> 00:04:45,911 How? 62 00:04:45,911 --> 00:04:51,041 I've been tracking their progress. The Wraith ships apparently go in and out of hyperspace periodically. 63 00:04:51,458 --> 00:04:56,880 - Either because their hyperspace technology is limited... - Or they're stopping to feed along the way. 64 00:04:57,256 --> 00:04:59,508 The point is, the pattern is predictable. 65 00:04:59,758 --> 00:05:05,806 I can guess with some certainty, that they'll be making stops, here, here and here. 66 00:05:06,431 --> 00:05:10,185 Even so, those ships are light years away. How do you expect to reach them in a puddle jumper? 67 00:05:10,394 --> 00:05:15,816 We fly to a Stargate en route that Zelenka thinks they're gonna drop out of hyperspace, and we watch them pass by. 68 00:05:16,608 --> 00:05:19,111 - That's good. - You know I have my moments. 69 00:05:19,403 --> 00:05:21,822 Teyla and I were just deciding which planet to go to. 70 00:05:22,531 --> 00:05:24,867 I am familiar with the people of this world. 71 00:05:25,409 --> 00:05:29,037 Their Stargate is in the open, and so, accessible by ship. 72 00:05:29,413 --> 00:05:32,749 And you think you can remain undetected by the Wraith as they go by your position? 73 00:05:32,833 --> 00:05:34,960 Stealth mode. They won't even know we're there. 74 00:05:35,085 --> 00:05:41,341 OK, go. Get what intel you can and get back before Rodney sends his message. I need the both of you here. 75 00:05:41,341 --> 00:05:43,051 Won't even stop at the duty free. 76 00:06:07,492 --> 00:06:13,373 On the offchance that you get the idea to take the Wraith ships on yourself Major. I am hereby ordering you not to. 77 00:06:13,582 --> 00:06:14,791 Believe me you don't have to. 78 00:06:15,083 --> 00:06:15,584 Still. 79 00:06:15,667 --> 00:06:21,048 "Don't take on alien armada's single handedly. " I understand. 80 00:06:37,481 --> 00:06:39,816 Father! Teyla's here! 81 00:06:50,452 --> 00:06:51,870 Teyla! 82 00:06:52,037 --> 00:06:58,293 - Oren! It has been many days. - Too many. Look at you, you're so different. 83 00:06:58,502 --> 00:07:01,004 Much has changed since my last visit. 84 00:07:03,006 --> 00:07:07,427 - This is Major John Sheppard. And Oren. - Pleased to meet you. 85 00:07:09,054 --> 00:07:12,558 - The harvest is still months away. - Yes, I know. 86 00:07:13,475 --> 00:07:16,186 We have not come to trade, but to deliver a warning. 87 00:07:17,271 --> 00:07:19,731 We have reason to believe the Wraith may be on their way. 88 00:07:20,524 --> 00:07:23,068 We don't know that for a fact, but we're about to go and find out. 89 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,947 Yes, it seems they're awakening everywhere. 90 00:07:27,072 --> 00:07:29,992 You should tell your people to take precautions in case they do come. 91 00:07:30,284 --> 00:07:31,159 I will. 92 00:07:31,994 --> 00:07:38,667 But you know as well as I do Teyla, that the Wraith will track us down wherever we go. There will be no escape. 93 00:07:38,667 --> 00:07:40,210 What about through the Stargate? 94 00:07:40,627 --> 00:07:44,047 The cullings are taking place on many worlds. None are safe. 95 00:07:45,048 --> 00:07:47,050 Even we have taken in refugees. 96 00:07:47,885 --> 00:07:55,392 If they do come, stay far from the Stargate. Take your family to the far treeline, there, and wait for us. 97 00:07:55,392 --> 00:07:58,979 - Teyla. - One family Major, that is all I ask. 98 00:08:03,233 --> 00:08:07,070 I'm sorry Oren, I can't make that promise. 99 00:08:07,154 --> 00:08:09,031 It will be the very least we can do. 100 00:08:12,576 --> 00:08:15,329 - If there's time. - Then we must hurry. 101 00:08:24,213 --> 00:08:26,757 Children, we must prepare. 102 00:08:28,050 --> 00:08:32,554 Alright, we have our city' specs, mission reports and tactical assessments all ready to go. 103 00:08:33,305 --> 00:08:34,515 What else? 104 00:08:34,765 --> 00:08:38,477 Well I've included a ton of data that we've been able to decipher from the Ancient database. 105 00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:41,688 Really? That is incredible. 106 00:08:42,022 --> 00:08:45,275 Well the algorithm I've devised is extraordinarily efficient, yes. 107 00:08:45,275 --> 00:08:46,527 Oh please! 108 00:08:46,568 --> 00:08:50,280 Well it must be, in order to fit all that data into 1.3 seconds. 109 00:08:50,322 --> 00:08:52,574 .3 seconds actually. 110 00:08:52,699 --> 00:08:54,701 We have a whole extra second to fill? 111 00:08:54,743 --> 00:08:57,371 A whole extra one, yes. 112 00:09:01,917 --> 00:09:04,586 Is it enough to include personal messages? 113 00:09:07,339 --> 00:09:10,676 Sure, I mean several hours of video. Much more if we restrict the audio. 114 00:09:10,801 --> 00:09:14,096 I think it'll do wonders for moral. Especially now. 115 00:09:14,221 --> 00:09:16,807 I could tell my Grandma what I've been up to all this time. 116 00:09:17,224 --> 00:09:19,852 Well if your grandmother had security clearance, yes you could. 117 00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:24,147 But for now, you can tell her that you're well and that you miss her. 118 00:09:24,481 --> 00:09:27,818 This is all very charming, but um, I have work to do. Shouldn't I... 119 00:09:27,943 --> 00:09:31,446 Lieutenant, maybe you'd like to handle this. 120 00:09:31,572 --> 00:09:35,409 Give everybody a few minutes on camera send a personal message to their loved ones. 121 00:09:35,450 --> 00:09:36,827 I'd love to ma'am. 122 00:09:36,869 --> 00:09:38,120 Off you go! 123 00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:45,169 As soon as Zelenka and I can get Jumper 4's engines tied into the grid, 124 00:09:45,210 --> 00:09:47,254 we should be able to do a low power dry run. 125 00:09:47,337 --> 00:09:48,088 Good. 126 00:09:48,589 --> 00:09:49,548 Rodney? 127 00:09:50,924 --> 00:09:52,843 You don't want to send a message to anyone? 128 00:09:52,885 --> 00:09:57,973 You know what? I think with all my spare time, I'll just record a message to myself. 129 00:09:58,473 --> 00:09:59,558 You? 130 00:10:00,142 --> 00:10:01,185 Yes. 131 00:10:01,852 --> 00:10:03,103 Good, good. 132 00:10:11,570 --> 00:10:14,031 This wasn't supposed to be a rescue mission. 133 00:10:14,364 --> 00:10:16,491 Oren was a good friend of my father. 134 00:10:16,533 --> 00:10:18,744 I agreed to warn him. 135 00:10:19,036 --> 00:10:21,038 If someone close to your family, 136 00:10:21,038 --> 00:10:25,459 a dear friend, was in danger of being taken by the Wraith, would you have not done the same? 137 00:10:25,501 --> 00:10:27,669 Not if it jeopardised the mission. 138 00:10:29,254 --> 00:10:32,799 So in fighting the Wraith, we are to give up that which makes us different from them? 139 00:10:32,883 --> 00:10:38,222 I agreed to stop and pick him up if there was time, but only if there was time. 140 00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:42,726 I'll be saving everyone in the damn galaxy, if we could. 141 00:10:42,768 --> 00:10:45,270 One man and his children are not every person. 142 00:10:45,395 --> 00:10:47,731 I agreed to help, if there was time. 143 00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:51,902 You only fight the battles you can win. 144 00:11:32,734 --> 00:11:34,862 Let's get this thing turn around. 145 00:11:42,077 --> 00:11:44,246 They're heading for the planet. 146 00:11:49,668 --> 00:11:52,588 OK, recording, plenty of battery. 147 00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:54,882 So why am I not seeing anything. 148 00:11:55,007 --> 00:11:55,924 Stupid! 149 00:12:09,605 --> 00:12:13,442 OK.

You don't have to worry. 153 00:12:26,246 --> 00:12:29,416 Life here is pretty routine. 154 00:12:39,927 --> 00:12:45,224 I'm hoping to get home sometime soon. But you know, if 155 00:12:45,390 --> 00:12:50,437 I'm stuck here a while, I want you to know that I'm good. 156 00:12:51,355 --> 00:12:55,359 I'm doing things, seeing things I never thought I'd see. 157 00:13:10,457 --> 00:13:15,838 Wish I could tell you all about it.

Even flying full out, we're just ahead of the armada. 161 00:13:34,273 --> 00:13:36,775 I can't risk putting down for Oren or his family. 162 00:13:36,817 --> 00:13:38,193 I see. 163 00:13:39,695 --> 00:13:42,781 I'm gonna take us out of stealth mode for the pass. Dial the gate. 164 00:13:47,202 --> 00:13:49,121 Hang on! Incoming wormhole! 165 00:13:56,795 --> 00:13:58,755 I have heard stories of the Wraith dialling in, 166 00:13:58,797 --> 00:14:01,884 to prevent their victims from using the Stargate as a means of escape. 167 00:14:01,925 --> 00:14:03,719 So we're stuck here. 168 00:14:04,219 --> 00:14:07,806 Once the ship is rendered invisible again, we will be perfectly safe. 169 00:14:07,848 --> 00:14:10,934 I'm more worried about getting the intel about the Wraith fleet back to Atlantis. 170 00:14:11,059 --> 00:14:13,937 Then we'll keep dialling in through the night at the very least. 171 00:14:14,938 --> 00:14:18,609 But if we wait in the location I told Oren and his family to meet us... 172 00:14:18,650 --> 00:14:20,944 That's where I'm headed. 173 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,164 I must warn you, I'm not very good at this sort of thing. 174 00:14:32,289 --> 00:14:34,666 Well don't worry. The only people that's gonna see it, is you and your family. 175 00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:37,127 Aye, and you and the US military. 176 00:14:37,503 --> 00:14:38,921 Give it a shot? 177 00:14:39,254 --> 00:14:40,631 What shall I say? 178 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,761 I miss you?
