{1}{1}25.000 {142}{222}Previously on "Stargate SG-1": {224}{337}(Carter) This is Prometheus,|otherwise known as the X-303. {351}{433}Sir, there's an energy build-up|in the naquadria cells. {435}{519}The jump must've triggered a surge|that overloaded the control systems. {521}{607}Stand by to jettison the reactor module. {641}{735}Even if we plotted a course for Earth|using maximum sublight thrust, {737}{766}it'd take years. {768}{806}P3X-744. {808}{894}If we can gate home from there, we can|get what we need to repair the ship. {1091}{1161}So this thing is different|from a nebula. How? {1163}{1241}That's why it's so exciting, sir.|We don't know exactly. {1243}{1353}And this formation just happens to be|near our next cool-down coordinates? {1355}{1457}It'll only be a little bit out of our way,|Colonel. All I ask is two hours, tops. {1459}{1530}If only to see the expression|on your face first-hand. {1532}{1624}- "Kid" and "candy store" come to mind.|- I'll try to retain my composure. {1626}{1724}Just keep in mind that our mission|is to get this bird home in one piece. {1726}{1781}(PA) Colonel Ronson, report to the bridge. {1783}{1851}Must be time. After you, Major. {2004}{2092}Sir, the hyperdrive engines|are at maximum safe temperature. {2094}{2193}- Shut 'em down, Major Gant.|- Yes, sir. Dropping out of hyperspace. {2291}{2350}Major Carter, what's our progress? {2352}{2437}Well, sir, we covered 49 light years|in the last leg. {2439}{2535}Considering the hyperdrive was lifted|from an Alkesh, that's pretty good. {2537}{2620}It was originally designed|for a ship one-tenth this size. {2622}{2696}Only five more of these pit stops|and we're home. {2698}{2743}(beeping) {2745}{2845}Colonel, a bogey just appeared on|our sensors. Dead ahead, 3,000 clicks. {2847}{2901}- Can't you identify it?|- Negative, sir. {2903}{2964}It's closing in on us very quickly. {3000}{3056}Sound general quarters. {3058}{3099}(alarm) {3145}{3255}- Bogey's now at 2,000 clicks.|- Raise shields. Arm weapons. {5344}{5438}Bogey is now at 900 clicks.|It's not slowing down, sir. {5440}{5503}How long till we can|jump to hyperspace again? {5505}{5602}The hyperdrive needs two hours to cool|down before attempting another jump. {5604}{5666}If we try one before that, it could overload. {5800}{5896}Colonel, I'm getting some unusual|readings from the alien vessel. {5983}{6031}They're scanning us, sir. {6033}{6161}Major Gant, set up a wide-frequency|broadcast. I wanna talk to them. {6197}{6242}Go ahead, sir. {6244}{6328}This is Colonel William Ronson,|commander of the Prometheus. {6330}{6387}- Please respond.|- (static) {6447}{6564}If you can hear me,|I offer you peaceful greetings. {6566}{6662}Bogey is now at 400 clicks and|continuing to gain on our position, sir. {6664}{6764}Sir, thermographic sensors are showing|a build-up of energy within the ship. {6910}{7010}- Energy build-up is continuing, sir.|- Colonel, we have to get out of here. {7012}{7093}Major Gant, initiate|evasive manoeuvre Delta now. {7095}{7138}Yes, sir. Executing Delta. {7476}{7555}- Major Gant, report.|- Shields are down 69%. {7557}{7621}Their weapons are draining our shields. {7677}{7774}- 53%.|- Reroute auxiliary power to shields. {7776}{7846}Weapons Officer, prepare|to return fire on my command. {7848}{7910}Aft missile bays|one through six ready, sir. {7912}{7967}Fire one through four now. {8141}{8227}Sir, missiles destroyed|before reaching the target. {8270}{8392}Alien vessel is still gaining on us, sir.|Shield strength is at 32%. {8412}{8471}Fire all missiles at will. {8473}{8569}Wait. Suggest diverting auxiliary power|back to the sublight engines. {8571}{8591}Major? {8593}{8713}The gas cloud. If we can get inside it, it|might make it harder for them to track us. {8773}{8826}Shields are below 15%. {8828}{8901}Even with engines at full strength,|we'll never make it. {8903}{8984}We might be able to make a small|hyperspace jump into the cloud. {8986}{9049}Give me a few minutes|to override the safeguards. {9051}{9102}You have two. {9395}{9455}Come on. One jump. {9725}{9823}- Weapon systems no longer operational.|- Shields are below 10%. {9825}{9926}Receiving ship-wide|damage reports, Colonel. {11053}{11128}This is Major Carter calling the bridge. {11209}{11266}Bridge, please respond. {12360}{12439}This is the bridge calling all decks. {12441}{12516}Please respond. {13159}{13270}This is Major Samantha Carter of|the US Air Force vessel Prometheus. {13272}{13400}As the sole remaining crew member, I feel|compelled to keep a log of these events. {13402}{13460}After being attacked|by a hostile alien ship, {13462}{13528}I sustained an injury|and lost consciousness. {13530}{13635}When I awoke,|I found the ship devoid of all crew. {13637}{13732}An initial systems review indicated|the hyperdrive to be operational. {13734}{13864}But the sublight engines remain offline,|possibly due to damage from the attack. {13866}{13998}I am hopeful further investigation|will provide more answers. {14067}{14161}However, my first priority|is to find out what happened to the crew. {14163}{14225}Having searched the ship|and found no one, {14227}{14344}only one possibility remains|to explain their disappearance. {14834}{14905}Since all the ship's escape pods|have been jettisoned, {14907}{15006}I must assume an evacuation order|was given after my losing consciousness. {15008}{15103}In the chaos that must have ensued,|I was left behind. {15213}{15270}(engines start up) {15302}{15340}(engines shut down) {15352}{15402}The sublight engines remain offline. {15404}{15500}I guess something about the gas cloud|is prohibiting restart procedures. {15502}{15586}Thus far, I have been unable|to find a way around this problem. {15615}{15689}Without sublight engine power|to manoeuvre the ship, {15691}{15766}I'm left with only one other option. {16403}{16453}Damn it. {16574}{16643}Major Carter. {16645}{16709}- Teal'c?|- Hear me. {16711}{16796}You must remain conscious at all costs. {16828}{16915}- I just need to rest for a while.|- You cannot. {16956}{16990}Listen to me. {16992}{17092}You are injured.|If you sleep, you will die. {17094}{17144}Do you understand? {17177}{17233}I know... {17235}{17348}If you sleep, you will die. {18126}{18269}(child) * Twinkle, twinkle, little star {18285}{18427}* How I wonder what you are {18434}{18568}* Up above the world so high {18601}{18744}- Is someone there?|- * Like a diamond in the sky {18767}{18882}* Twinkle, twinkle, little star {18884}{18904}Hello? {18906}{19046}* How I wonder what you are {19048}{19098}(footsteps) {19271}{19310}OK... {19426}{19514}I have sent out a distress signal|detailing Prometheus's situation {19516}{19572}and our last known position in space. {19574}{19640}I know it may be hundreds of years|before it is heard. {19690}{19757}That said, Stargate Command|was aware of our route {19759}{19863}and will undoubtedly do|everything they can to mount a rescue. {19865}{19920}And if any of the crew survived, {19922}{20001}I can only hope they will|eventually send help as well. {20003}{20138}Therefore I feel my best course of action|is to settle in for the long haul. {20260}{20359}By my calculations, I have enough|food and water to last several months. {20361}{20473}With further rationing,|it might be possible to double that. {20617}{20688}Play with me. {21112}{21216}I've been trying to understand why|the ship is unable to jump hyperspace. {21218}{21258}During my last attempt, {21260}{21353}the hyperspace window seemed|too unstable for the ship to enter it. {21355}{21471}Thus far, sensors have been unable|to identify the content of the cloud itself. {21473}{21603}It's more likely made up of a denser group|of gases than that of a typical nebula. {21605}{21725}It's preventing the hyperdrive emitter|from transferring power at an even rate. {21727}{21830}Until that changes, the Prometheus|will remain trapped here indefinitely. {21832}{21927}(Daniel) Yep! I'd say you're stuck all right. {22082}{22165}You've been running the same|diagnostic program for four hours. {22167}{22259}What makes you think the results|are suddenly gonna change? {22286}{22346}Sam! Hello? {22365}{22422}Were you this annoying|when you were ascended? {22424}{22559}Depends who you ask. I thought I had a|certain je ne sais quoi. Timing was so-so. {22599}{22682}No offence, but I really|don't have time for this. {22778}{22856}This is ridiculous. You aren't even real. {22858}{22963}Well, I'm not so much me|as I am... you, really. {22965}{23028}I mean, part of your subconscious mind. {23030}{23085}So am I real? {23087}{23211}That's up to you, I guess. The Socratic|implications are quite fascinating. {23213}{23305}- Daniel...|- You just need some help, that's all. {23307}{23372}Can't you just try to go along with this? {23438}{23502}You're me, talking to me. {23524}{23577}Yeah, basically. {23624}{23701}All right. You have a point.|I could use some help. {23703}{23753}Thank you. {23827}{23923}OK, what do you... I want? {23925}{23967}Well... {23969}{24046}- I think you're going about this all wrong.|- This is helping? {24048}{24110}You've waited weeks|to study this gas cloud. {24112}{24186}Isn't that the real reason|you volunteered for this job? {24188}{24238}Now you're here, finally here, {24240}{24322}and you're wasting your time|running hyperdrive simulations. {24324}{24452}In case you hadn't noticed, I've got|a small problem, Daniel. I'm stranded. {24454}{24534}Inside the thing you've looked at|through a telescope for years. {24536}{24650}It's a chance to study something rare|and exciting up close. Seize the moment! {24652}{24687}Seize the moment? {24689}{24781}It's something new|that we've never encountered before... {24783}{24851}You're ignoring it. {24853}{24905}Does that sound like you? {24957}{25069}Daniel, I can't even think straight,|let alone stay awake. {25106}{25190}Sam... you have to check this out. {25192}{25261}Trust me.

We're oh-for-seven on this, sir. {44216}{44263}You heard from the Tok'ra? {44265}{44338}They've made an initial trace|of the Prometheus's route. {44340}{44433}There's no sign of it at any of|the designated cool-down coordinates. {44435}{44521}- Assuming they stayed on course.|- They're expanding the search, {44523}{44607}conducting long-range scans of systems|adjacent to the route home. {44609}{44711}Hopefully, we'll hear|something from them soon. {45203}{45253}I don't wanna hear it. {45333}{45393}Good.
