Who are you people?
We are replicators.
The others would destroy me.
Not if you came with us.
You would do that?
They won�t leave me. She promised.
No, my son. They made a fool of you.
I've been relieved of command.
Who's replacing you Sir?
Her name is Doctor Elizabeth Weir.
A civilian?
She's an expert in international politics.
Terra, Atlantis.
Are you saying the lost city of the Ancients is here?
The city we've been looking for is under the ice at Antarctica.
Goodbye.
Doctor Weir.
Elizabeth
Elizabeth. Almost ready. I can't believe we're finally going.
I know I should have been ready a long time ago, but I needed some materials.
The talks have stalled again.
You're kidding me.
It's a complicated situation.
The Antarctic Treaty was established to promote scientific research in the area.
With the interest or progress for all mankind. Not just the United States.
So argue the other 11 nations, all claiming shared jurisdiction.
Article 1 states quite clearly, there can be no establishment of any military base,
and no testing of any weapons. You saw first hand how powerful the Ancient outpost is.
So in the meanwhile, Jack just stays frozen in a stasis pod down there?
He sacrificed himself to save us, all of us. Not just this country.
I know, but the scale of Anubis' attack, makes covering it up, tenuous at best.
If we're going to keep the entire world from finding out everything to do with the Stargate.
We're going to need the full co-operation of every Government,
now aware of what's been going on. It's just going to take more time.
And in the meantime, we just sit here and do nothing.
I'm sorry Doctor Jackson.
Daniel.

What can't we use the gate ?
It's not that we can't use it. Officially, all normal gate activity will remain suspended.
It will just be until the agreement for the control of the Antarctic site is resolved.
What does one have to do with the other.
While we obviously still have full jurisdictional control over the Stargate,
the President feels that ultimately,
how we proceed with operations here at SGC, will reflect on our international good will.
In other words, it's our political leverage in negotiations.
I would never say that.
What about Colonel O'Neill?
Look, I know what he means to the three of you. We all appreciate the sacrifice, Colonel O'Neill made.
The Asgard can help him.
Last time they were able to erase the Ancient knowledge from his mind, before it killed him.
We've tried contacting them. What do you suggest we do?
You're aware of how we helped the Asgard trap the replicators in a time dilation field on the planet Halla.
Something to that effect, yes. That was a couple of years ago, right?
Basically we know that, that trap is only going to hold them for so long.
Thor and the Asgard must be monitoring the situation.
If we can get there, we should be able to contact them.
Isn't the planet you're talking about, in another galaxy?
Othalla.
O'Neill used his knowledge of the Ancients, to modify the Goa'uld vessel, currently in our possession.
According to your report Major,
that ship is capable of flying faster and farther, than even the Goa'uld have.
Yes. I think it might just get us there.
And back?
That might be a problem. There's a good chance the trip will burn out the engines.
That's a big problem. If you get there and it turns out, you can't contact the Asgard?
We're willing to take the risk.
As admirable as that is. I can't let you do it.
For what reason?
Colonel O'Neill was able to fend off Anubis' fleet, using the weapons from the Ancients outpost.
Hopefully, that will make the other Goa'uld think twice about attacking Earth in the foreseeable future.
But the truth is, we don't know if we're going to be able to use those weapons again,
and if we can't, we're going to need a new tactical advantage over the Goa'uld.
At least that's what the Pentagon tells me.
The modified cargo ship, it's too valuable right now, I'm sorry. Request denied.
What can I do for you Major?
I want you to reconsider my request.
I'm sorry.
That cargo ship was modified using the knowledge of the Ancients.
Now there is no guarantee that anyone will ever be able to figure out how it was done.
And as the most likely person on the planet to figure it out,
are you saying that if I don't let you attempt to contact the Asgard, you won't even try?
I would never say that.
Right now, that is the most advanced piece of technology we have.
If it weren't for Colonel O'Neill, we wouldn't have that ship.
For that matter, we wouldn't even be here discussing this.
We got the co-ordinates from the Prometheus.
Now based on the amount of time it took for the modified ship to get from Taonas to Earth,
I'm estimating that our trip to Othalla will take roughly ten days.
Hey! So how did you talk Weir into letting us go?
I didn't. I talked her into letting us go. You're staying here.
Daniel, even with the modifications to the ship, there's no guarantee it'll even get us there,
and if it does, there's a good chance that it'll burn out the engines.
The ship was never mean't to fly at that speed, which means, if we don't find the Asgard, we'll be stranded.
I know.
We need you here. You're our best chance of deciphering whatever information is in that Ancient outpost.
If we fail, you will be O'Neills only hope.
Hey Teal'c. Can I get you anything? I packed lots of turkey, I know that's your favourite.
Thank you, but I am not currently hungry.
Have you been able to determine how O'Neill modified the engines?
No, I'm just taking a break.
I didn't think it would be easy, but at least it's a good way to pass the time.
I'm sorry, have I been ignoring you?
I'm fine.
I thought maybe working on the engines would take my mind off Colonel O'Neill,
which is kind of silly, considering he's the one who modified them.
Look, I know this plan isn't exactly foolproof. I've never plotted an intergalactic course before.
If the co-ordinates are off by even one half of a percent,
we could wind up ten thousand light years from our destination.
But still, I'm trying to stay positive.
I have the utmost confidence in your ability.
I know. So, you wanna talk?
Concerning what subject?
I don't know. How's Ryac?
Fine.
Are you still keeping in touch with Ishta?
Indeed.
Bra'tac?
Bra'tac is well.
Come on Teal'c. Throw me a bone here.
How is Pete Shanahan?
He's fine.
Is all not well, between the two of you?
No, everything is great. It's just, as you well know,
it's not easy saying goodbye to someone you care about,
when you think there's a chance you may never see them again.
I know that's a risk we take every time we step through the Stargate,
but still, I try to stay positive. I'll get you a sandwich.
Daniel
Elizabeth. I was just wondering if you'd heard anything.
They're still bogged down.
It's been over a week.
What did you expect. A quick round of handshakes. Champagne toast to seal the deal?
We were attacked from space by an armada of alien ships,
if that doesn't get us past our distrust of each other, what will?
You forget that those alien ships were destroyed by a single weapon.
I mean, that kind of power is going to give anyone cause for concern.
Yep. Not that I want this to come off as an attempt to get rid of you,
but isn't this sort of international negotiation exactly your area of expertise?
Unauthorized Offworld Activation!
Receiving a signal. It's a text message.
It's Goa'uld.
What does it say?
It's from one of the System Lords, Camulus, Celtic God of War.
I'm not familiar with him.
I never had contact with him before.
- Woow - Yeah, of course, Woow ?
Sorry, it say's he wants to arrange a meeting for the purpose of negotiating a treaty.
A Goa'uld wants to arrange a treaty with us?
Not just one Goa'uld. All of them. The System Lords. They want to send representatives here.
We are preparing to emerge from hyper space.
As soon as we drop out, I'll start broadcasting a signal. The Asgard are monitoring the region, they should find us.
Should we not be able to see the planet?
Yes.
We're experiencing the effects of an extremely powerful gravitational force.
Somethings not right. Teal'c, Turn us around and get us out of here, now.
Hyperspace generator will not engage.
Sublight engines are at maximum, yet we are not moving.
There's only one thing I know of that could create this kind of gravitational pull.
You sure that this is an accurate translation of the message?
Pretty much.
What do you make of it.
Well to be honest, I'm not sure what to think.
The Goa'uld did come here once to negotiate a treaty.
Yes, with the Aguard, not with us. Earth just served as neutral territory.
For them to want to meet with us as equals is extremely unusual.
Maybe we gained a bit of respect, in their eyes.
They must have heard what happened to Anubis.
They couldn't defeat him with all of their combined forces, and we did it in a single day.
Which may explain why they want to come here.
Yeah, to see how we did it.
It's pretty much what we expected.
We burned out the hyperdrive getting here.
That is most unfortunate.
Even if it was working, it would have been very dangerous to open a window,
this close to the event horizon of the black hole.
Are we that far off course ?
No, we came out of hyperspace, right where we were supposed to.
This doesn't make any sense.
Halla's sun wasn't nearly massive enough to collapse into a black hole.
Yet that is what appears to be happening.
I'll see if I can get a little more out of the sublight engines.
The President has authorized me to pursue negotiations with the Goa'uld.
Ok.
You don't think I can handle it ?
I didn't say that, but if I may, you don't sound all that confident.
Well as you say, I have brokered my share of international negotiations.
This will just be my first interplanetary one.
The System Lords can't be trusted, either as a group, or individuals.
They're posturing ego-maniacs, driven by an insatiable lust for power.
Each one capable of unimaginable evil.
See ? Why should I be nervous ?
Seems like an average day at the United Nations.
Look, I'm not afraid to admit that I need help.
So what can you tell me ?
The High Council of the System Lords, is a rather flimsy coalition of the most powerful Goa'ulds in the galaxy.
They only co-operate when it suits them.
Their numbers vary from time to time.
New one's rise up. Older one's get knocked off.
We think there's about a dozen right now.
I put together a summary of what we know.
Right. I assume I can't just open the iris and let the representative's just walk through.
No, that would probably be a bad idea.
We should get them to meet us at a neutral location.
Preferably a planet of our choosing.
Send a team, check them out, make sure they're unarmed, and then escort them back.
Good. Send the message.
We are now being pulled backwards.
Perhaps if we divert power from the shields.
Right now they're the only thing holding the ship together.
Drop them, the gravitational field could tear us apart.
I do not believe there is any other choice.
Diverting power.
We are now moving forward.
It's not gonna be good enough.
We're losing hull integrity.
We've got a hull breach !
Greetings !
Thor.
It is good to see you again, Major Carter, Teal'c.
Likewise.
Indeed.
Your timing is impeccable.
So the Goa'uld have agreed to our terms, for their travel here ?
Yeah. I was just going over some research material, the delegates were sending.
Camulus was the one who sent the original message, then there's Amaterasu,
Japanese Sun Goddess, and the last one is Lord Yu.
Yu ?
Don't. Every joke, every pun, done to death, seriously.
I just thought I remember reading he was not himself or something.
Of course, for a Goa'uld, what that means exactly, I'm not sure.
Please continue.
Well he no longer has the ability to take on a new host
and it seems the regenerative powers of the sarcophagus, is losing it's effectiveness forhim.
- Basically he's suffering from old age. - He's senile.
Well why would they choose him as a representative ?
The others may be doing a good job of covering for him.
The other System Lords don't know.
The interesting thing is, that Lord Yu, was the one System Lord
who opposed Anubis' desire to be reinstated to the council after his banishment.
Long story.
The point is, he fell out of favour, when the other System Lords accepted Anubis back,
- and he used his power to become an effective leader. - So now that Anubis is gone,
you think the balance of power has shifted back to Yu.
On the bright side, out of all the Goa'uld, Lord Yu has been the most cooperative with us in the past.
I thought you said, none of them could be trusted.
Oh, they can't. Especially not a crazy one.
That's the bright side?
More of a slightly less, dark side.
I am afraid I cannot leave this sector, Major.
Not at the moment.
Thor, you're the only one who can save Colonel O'Neill.
As you have said, he is being preserved in stasis at the moment.
I will be glad to return with you to Earth, as soon as my mission here is completed.
What is your mission ?
I must wait here until I am certain the replicators have been destroyed.
You may have noticed that Halla's sun has collapsed into a black hole.
Just before the back of our ship was torn off.
I'm sorry I did not reach you sooner. I was not expecting you.
You haven't been responding to our attempts to contact you.
I'm sorry.
Time, space distortions, caused by the black hole, have been interfering with my ships long range communications.
Understandable.
Indeed. For some.
The time dilation field, was only a temporary measure.
We knew the time it would take for the replicator humans to reach the machine,
would translate to less than two years outside the field.
Therefore, a more permanent solution was devised.
So, you collapsed the sun.
By artificially increasing it's gravitational field, yes.
That's pretty cool.
As you can see.
The planet has already broken apart.
However, a large number of replicators have managed to come together in a coherent mass that has yet to pass the event horizon.
Well, even if they can withstand the gravitational force without being torn apart.
- There's no way they could ever... - Interesting
What is it ?
The mass of replicator blocks have begun moving away from the event horizon.
How is that possible ?
They have the time dilation device.
I do not know exactly how.
They seem to have used it to counteract the gravitational effects, that should be pulling them in.
Frightening. Not only that they could do that, but that you don't know how.
I agree.
They are picking up speed.
Scans indicate, the blocks have formed together.
Into what ?
A ship.
They are escaping.
Their course indicates, they are headed this way.
I thought you were going to stand me up.
Yeah, sorry.
Heard anything from Teal'c and Sam ?
No.
Receiving a signal now.
SG7 reports that we have a green light.
Open the iris
Welcome to Earth.
- Allow me to introduce myself. - We are not interested in your name.
Really ?
I generally find it helps so much.
We prefer to present our offer, so that we can spend as brief a time as possible on this planet.
Right this way.
Have you ever seen anything like it ?
No, and it is doubtful my ships weapons will be effective against it.
We should probably get out of here then, huh ?
Can you jump into hyperspace ?
We must clear the gravitational distortion from above the black hole first.
They have fired upon us.
Can it penetrate your shields ?
It is more than likely.
Brace for impact.
The hull has been breached.
Where ?
The damage is minimal.
The projectile was likely composed of replicators.
They are not visible to my ships scanners.
This is how they have boarded Asgard ships, in the past.
Can you use the shields to prevent decompression in those sections ?
Yes.
Your unexpected defeat of Anubis, has created an unstable situation among the System Lords.
In order to avoid open war, we came to an agreement, to divide his territories and his armies, evenly.
How civilised of you.
Yes, unfortunately one of those among us, has broken that agreement.
No, no, no. Don't tell me, let me guess. It's...
- Ba'al. - Ba'al.
He was able to learn the location of the planet, where Anubis was creating his Kull Warriors.
Ba'al thought of it before you did and found a way to program the soldiers to serve him.
With Orac at his command.
Ba'al has tipped the balance, in his favour.
Orac ?
Unspeakable.
In battle, the kull are far superior to the Jaffa.
Already, many among us have begun to speak of capitulation.
Much as they did with Anubis.
If that happens. Ba'al, will indeed, be unstoppable.
Well this is all very interesting I'm sure, but I fail to see what it has to do with us.
My master wishes to say, it is well known that the Tauri possess a powerful new weapon.
Something far beyond their current level of technology.
Yes, we used it to kill Anubis and destroy his fleet.
By means of this weapon, Ba'al can be prevented from conquering the galaxy.
Major Carter !
Thor, it is Teal'c.
Major Carter was beamed away. Is she in your presence ?
I did not do it.
The replicators must have her.
I have eliminated all of the replicators I could locate.
There is no way of knowing if there are more. The replicator ship has entered hyperspace.
Can you follow?
Yes.
If Ba'al defeats us, how long do you think it will be before he turns his attention to you?
If he does he'll suffer the same fate as Anubis.
Perhaps, but there are other worlds in this galaxy,
without the luxury of such advanced defences.
What are you talking about?
We could not help but notice that the Asgard did not
come to your aid, when Anubis threatened your planet.
In fact, we've heard nothing from the Asgard for quite some time now.
Really? That's odd, because we talk to them all the time.
The Asgard didn't come,because they knew it wasn't necessary.
Ba'al believes otherwise. He is convinced
the Asgard can no longer excercise power in this galaxy.
He intends to take the planets protected under the Goa'uld/Asgard treaty, for himself.
If you do not help us stop him, millions of humans will die.
And millions will be enslaved.
Do you know it's destination?
Before you destroyed them, the replicators managed to access the shp computer.
They learned the location of Orilla.
The planet where we are attempting to rebuild the Asgard civilisation. I assumed it would be their first target.
What is your reasoning?
Orilla is rich in neutronium. Which is a key element in Asgard technology.
It is also essential for the creation of human form replicators.
Major Carter.
Fifth.
I imagine you never expected to see me again.
Look, I'm sorry we left you behind, but we had to do it.
We couldn't risk the others getting out. You know what they're capable of.
I know you must be upset.
Upset.
We betrayed you, it must of hurt.
See that's the part of you that's most like us. The human part of you.
I understand how you feel.
No you don't!
You couldn't. But I promise, you will.
How many planets are protected under this treaty?
26. 27 if you include Earth.
And what good is it if the Asgard aren't actually available to protect anything?
At one time they were. More recently we've been trading on the threat. Kind of a big bluff.
PHRASE MANQUANTE
Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about that.
Earth is safe so long as the Goa'uld think we can defend ourselves.
But that's a bluff too.
Yeah. More or less.
When I was a kid, my dad used to have these weekly poker games.
All I remember is smoke, making my eyes water.
I'm starting to wish I'd paid more attention.
I'm sure you've misrepresented the truth before in negotiations.
Actually no. My Job is usualy to get people recognize the truth.
Well if they even get a hint of the fact that we can't use the Ancients
weapons to defend ourselves, trust me, this game is over.
Too dramatic?
At this point, not for me.
How can we stop them?
My ships weapons will not function in hyperspace, much like the shields.
However, in close proximity, the self destruct may be sufficient to eliminate both ships.
I am sorry, but we have no choice.
If the human form replicators reach Orilla,
they will have the resources to replicate many thousands of times.
We cannot allow that to happen.
So be it.
Why are you doing this?
You think you deserve better?
You can see my thoughts, you know I didn't wanna do it.
I suppose in a way, I should thank you.
It was because of what you did to me, I came to realise my full potential.
I am more human than the others.
At first I thought it was weakness, but now I see,
it makes me capable of so much more.
Fifth, please.
My brothers and sisters, will devour entire civilisations, in order to replicate.
But they will know nothing of cruelty,
or betrayal, or revenge.
Not like us. Isn't that right,
Major Carter?
No.
We appreciate you bringing us this information,
but it doesn't change the fact that we can't get involved in any internal Goa'uld dispute,
and if Ba'al tries to attack any of the protected planets, he'll suffer the consequences.
Unfortunately, we do not share your faith in the Asgard.
We must stop Ba'al before it comes to that.
You'll forgive my bluntness, but that's not our problem.
Enough!
With each passing moment, Anubis grows more powerful.
You mean Ba'al.
My master is fatigued. We request a short adjournment.
Silence!
We know you have a formidable defensive weapon,
but with it you must wait for your enemies to come to you, and that can be dangerous.
What if an enemy were to devise a means of defeating this weapon?
What exactly are you offering?
Hyperdrive engines.
We know you have battleships that are not capable of interstellar travel.
We are offering you a means of producing a fleet of ships,
as advanced as the Goa'uld Hat'ak vessels.
You can take the fight to the enemy.
We are almost in range.
Now!
We are slowing down.
Something is interfering with the controls.
The auxillary control console, outside the engine room.
Your offer is very generous, but I'm afraid we're going to have to decline.
You would be able to hold the protected planets treaty, with or without the aid of the Asgard.
How many hyperdrives are you willing to give us?
How many ships can you build?
I think the real question is, how many ships do you have?
I mean, if we're gonna enforce this treaty ourselves, we need
to build enough ships to match any fleet that would oppose us.
We are not at liberty to disclose such information.
Well then this discussion is over.
How can you blindly reject such an offer.
We're not about to fight your battles for you,
in exchange for a couple of hyperdrive engines, that may or may not do us any good, in the long run.
And especially since, we already have that technology at our disposal.
You have viabel hyperdrive technology.
Yes we do, and with the help of the Asgard,
we are in the process of implementing it right now. Well, thankyou very much.
This Ancient weapon, such an advanced piece of technology.
The power requirements must be enormous.
Even simple maintenance must be extremely difficult. Giving you unlimited capabilities.
We manage.
Of course, we believe you.
But I wonder what Ba'al would think,
if he were to receive intelligence that the weapon was temporarily out of commission.
He would come to this world, to claim it for himself. The Tauri would be forced to destroy him.
And we would have to give them nothing.
Oh, come on! Ba'al would never fall for that.
He knows how desperate you are. I think he would find this information a little bit convenient.
Perhaps, but you leave us few options.
Ok, we'll do it.
We will?
In exchange, we want Ba'al's territory.
What do you mean?
Well that's the way it works right?
When one System Lord kills another, he takes over his armies, his fleet, his planets.
That's what we want. Everything in Ba'al's possession.
You cannot be serious.
If we're gonna be the one's who destroy Ba'al for you, why should we settle for anything less?
Preposterous. We can't accept those terms.
Take it or leave it.
We must send a message to the other System Lords, to advise about the current situation.
Go ahead.
The problem has been eliminated.
Unfortunately, the replicators are now beyond our reach.
We are too late to stop them from reaching the new Asgard homeworld.
I guess you did learn something from your father's poker games.
Always bet big when bluffing?
I just didn't know you wanted to become a System Lord.
I just had to do something to keep them talking.
It looked like they were going to try and draw Ba'al here, no matter what we said.
You can be pretty sure, they're not gonna agree to our terms.
No.
We may have to revive Colonel O'Neill.
What?
If they suspect we're bluffing, they'll come here and take the weapon for themselves.
If they don't, they'll talk Ba'al into coming.
Either way, we may actually have to use that weapon again, to defend this planet.
We don't even know if there's enough power to fire another shot.
I know.
If you try to revive Jack, without the Asgard standing by, it'll kill him.
In fact he'll probably die, before he can do anything to help us.
Doctor Weir. It's a copy of the message the Goa'uld sent back to the System Lords. It's coded.
We need to know what they're thinking.
I have managed to send advance warning to Orilla.
By providing them with the replicator ships course, and speed,
they should have a fair approximation of where it will
drop out of hyperspace. We'll be waiting in ambush.
You believe the Asgard ships can destroy the replicators, before they can raise their shields.
They will only be defenceless for a few moments. If my calculations are accurate, it should be sufficient.
Stop it, please!
Why should I?
You can't change what happened. Is this making you feel better?
I never intended to abandon you.
But you did. You gained my trust, then you used me, and left me behind.
It wasn't my decision.
You could have come back for me.
There was no time.
Time! Thanks to what you did, I had plenty of time
to think about what a fool I was.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what we did to you.
Yes, you are now.
Part of being human, is having compassion.
Learning to forgive.
Yes I'm not there yet. I need more time.
Progress?
Yeah. It's basically a confirmation of what we suspected. They think we're bluffing,
but they have no way of confirming their suspicions, so they're not sure what to do.
They could still try and draw Ba'al here, let him figure it out for them.
Yeah, that's dangerous for them, because if we can't power the weapons,
- Which we can't. - Ba'al would end up with both Earth and
the Ancients Outpost, in his possession.
Unscheduled Offworld Activation
This is Weir, what's happening?...
Ok, we'll be right down. Our guests just got a response.
Commander Thor, this is Ajir of the Valhalla.
We have assumed defensive positions and are awaiting the target ship.
Understood.
The enemy ship has been destroyed.
I am sorry Teal'c.
I need to see the most recent message they received.
It's unfortunate you're being recalled. I thought we were making such good progress.
Your demands were ridiculous. We had no choice but to terminate negotiations.
Well, give my regards to Ba'al.
Shut it down.
What?
What is the meaning of this?
The second message. They've been recalled because
the System Lords have decided to test our defenses.
They're sending a ship to attack Earth. It'll be here within the hour.
We are political digniters! How dare you prevent us to leave?
Sending ships here to attack us, is an act of war,
and a foolish one at that, given what our defenses are capable of.
My Lord did not order such action.
Then undo it. Tell the System Lords to call the ship back.
The decision they made was one of desperation,
forced upon them by your unwillingness to help.
Persuading them to change course, could only be done in person.
With a full council vote.
Even if I did believe you. All good faith is out the window at this point.
You're our prisoners. Take them away!
Greetings Thor.
Greetings. Teal'c, this is Penegal, of the Asgard High Council.
I regret to report that the debris from the destroyed replicator ship cannot be contained.
We were unable to prevent countless replicator blocks from raining down on Orilla.
They have already begun replicating and infesting our systems.
Control of the city is in jeopardy.
Should you not consider evacuating people.
That is no longer possible.
There are too many.
We carried numerous stored minds aboard the computers of our ships, when we fled our home world.
When Orilla was finally found, we were able to replace those minds into cloned bodies,
so that we could build our new colony.
The replicators have already infected systems needed to save those minds.
If we lose this battle, they will perish, along with their bodies.
Taking with them, the hopes of the Asgard race.
Orilla is the last chance of ever rebuilding our empire.
Then we must find a way to save it.
Sir, censors are detected an alien vessel.
It exited hyperspace 14000 km out, eight degree's starboard.
Designation
None yet sir. Vessel is the size of a Goa'uld mothership.
Closing fast. Visual range in six seconds
Hold your position, prepare to fire!
Onscreen, maximum magnification.
Open a channel, broadcast on all frequencies and translate into Goa'uld.
Yes sir.
This is Colonel Lionel Penderghast of the United States Air Force Prometheus.
Unidentified vessel, failure to reply will constitute an act of aggression,
and we will respond with the full force of our weapons.
That will be unnecessary.
Teal'c
I have brought greetings from Thor, the Supreme Commander of the Asgard fleet. We are onboard the 'Daniel Jackson.'
I have just received word, that the Asgard have arrived.
They want to witness the demonstration of our new Ancient device technology, that you have forced us into.
There's still time to call off the attack.
We would also like to witness the demonstration.
Your ship isn't coming. It was destroyed en route by Ba'al.
The collective forces of the System Lords are bowing, and you're losing the war.
And so are you.
Hey guys!
Our new colony is in grave jeopardy. The replicator's escaped from
the time dilation device, and are threatening to destroy the Asgard.
Ok. So, what can we do?
Thor believes the Ancients knowledge stored in O'Neills mind,
may be the key to defeating the replicators once and for all.
Jack's frozen down in...
As I was saying. Where's Sam?
She was captured by the replicators. The ship was destroyed.
Hey sleepyhead. Didn't think you'd ever get up.
It was kind of a long night, huh?
Pete
What's up? Are you ok? Is something wrong?
Yes, everything.
What do you mean?
This. What are you doing here?
What am I doing here? Where the hell is here?
That was good. You had me, you really had me.
Of course, I've been up since five, feeding the pigs and the chickens.
Pete honestly, I don't...
What? You don't what?
Think this is real.
You hungry? I'm starving. Come on, we'll go inside, I'll whip you up some pancakes.
You don't understand.
This isn't happening.
The last thing I remember, I was onboard a replicator ship.
This is just another way of screwing with my mind.
Ok, here's what I got. This is not SGC, it's Montana.
Nothing weird happens here. Not like you're used to.
A year ago, you left the Stargate Program because of mental stress,
and because you wanted to be with me and a farm full of really stinky animals.
Since then you've been seeing a shrink, because you can't seem to shake the nightmares.
You've had a bad one ok?
That's it.
Did that feel real?
Yes.
Then snap out of it.
Ok. Pancakes, or do I have to call the Doctor?
I'm kind of hungry.
Good. Come on.
What are you going to do?
I'm going to merge O'Neill's mind, with the ships computer.
To do that, you're going to have to defrost him first, right?
I bring this up, because he was near death when we froze him.
Hopefully, the pod will sustain his life.
Hopefully?
What other choice do we have?
Well, can't you just save him, like the last time this happened? Just wipe the Ancient knowledge from his mind.
And lose any chance of learning a meaning to defeat the replicators.
You have no right to risk his life.
I believe O'Neill would approve.
We can't make that choice for him, no matter what's at stake.
Can't you just extract the Ancient information into the ships computer?
Then we can all benefit from it. Even learn how to use Ancient weapons, on Earth.
You cannot even begin to comprehend the extent of what was unfolding in O'Neills mind.
Our scientists, long ago, extracted parts of the Ancient Library of Knowledge, and learned much from it.
But we have been studying it for as long as I can remember.
We have barely scratched the surface.
So it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
A haystack of infinite size.
That's big.
I am hoping O'Neills conscious mind, can provide us with a direct conduit to the information we need.
You requested to see me?
You must let us go.
I don't have to do anything at this point.
If your attempt is to extract information from us, you should know,
I would die before I say anything. And nothing my master say's, can be trusted.
Look, no-one's decided what to do with you.
Anubis was overconfident, and he still needed the bulk of his armada, to keep the System Lords at bay.
The fleet he used to attack Earth was small.
Compared to that which Ba'al will command should he defeat the System Lords.
He will rule the galaxy. No weapons will be powerful enough the stop him.
What would you have me do?
Free us to fight.
Or if we must. Die with honor.
He is not well.
Told you.
The process of interfacing is mind is complex.
Helloooo. Testing, testing. One, Two.
One, two, one, two. Testing. Hellooo. Is this thing on?
Jack?
O'Neill. Can you hear us?
Hey! Hey guys. What's going on?
Your mind has been interfaced with the 'Daniel Jackson.'
- What? - What?
The name of Thor's ship is Daniel Jackson.
All the information in the ships computer, is available to you.
Ah, right, here we go. This is cool.
I can pretty much anything I want, cant I?
O'Neill.
Sorry
If you wish. You may appear to us as a hologram.
Dang!
You ok?
It's a little weird. Yeah, I'm ok.
At least you're not speaking Ancient.
There's that.
Actually, the computer is translating.
Ah.
I've never looked better.
There is not much time O'Neill.
Thor's planet...
I know. Ship's log.
Can you help with the replicators?
Already on it.
Jack.
Daniel. The computer reported the whole conversation.
Thanks for your concern.
Talk amongst yourselves.
I've discussed the situation with my superiors and we've decided to let you all go.
I must admit, that comes as a surprise.
Well it seems we haven't had much success interrogating Goa'ulds in the past.
It was made apparent to me, you're much more use to us fighting Ba'al.
Doctor Weir!
You know my name.
This might come as a surprise to you.
Oh, I'm not sure anything can surprise me at this point.
I wish to request asylum.
Well, seems I was wrong again.
My fleet was destroyed before I came here.
Among the first to fall. I have nothing left with which to fight.
The only thing waiting for me through the Stargate, is shame and torture.
So it is not true that I would be more useful to you out there.
Perhaps I could be of some use to you here.
Thanks. That was great.
Tasted very real.
Hey, I was thinking we could go into town tonight, have dinner, see a movie.
Come on. You can't really expect me to just play along.
I gave up my job for this! I gave up my life for you!
See? That is definitely not Pete.
How patient do you expect me to be.
Nothing you say is going to convince me.
I know who you are. I just don't understand why.
What do you want from me? Why are you doing this?
Because I love you.
What is it?
I am unsure. It seems, O'Neills mind is building something in conjunction with the ships computer.
I do not know how much longer his life can be sustained.
Jack, can you hear me?
I must revive him now.
Wait! Not yet!
What a headache.
Take it easy. You've been through a lot.
What now?
What's the last thing you remember?
Getting my head sucked, by one of those dang Ancient head suckers.
And something about twins.
Teal'c. What's with the hair?
O'Neill.
Thor. You got an aspirin?
You should feel better momentarily and your memory will slowly return.
Teal'c, what's with the hair?
The specifications for the device you created, remain in the computer.
I believe I can synthesis it.
Sweet. What is it?
We don't know, but you made it.
No.
Yes.
- No. - Yes.
You accessed the Ancient knowledge in your mind, and instructed the ships computer to design it.
Doesn't mean I know what it is.
It was doubtful at best, that he would remember. The knowledge of the Ancients is gone.
Alright. Let me have a look.
Ah, got legs.
Alright, I've got it, I've got it.
Yeah. I got nothing.
Penegal, I am relieved that you're still able to communicate.
It may not last long. Were you able to procure means of fighting the replicators?
Possibly. It still requires more research.
You should know, those infesting the colony, are behaving in an organised fashion,
unlike any any replicators we have encountered before.
Perhaps they are being controlled by a human form leader, who has yet to reveal itself.
If a Human form replicator survived, it's possible Sam survived too.
It is also possible, the old version replicators
created a new Human form, to lead them as before.
Yeah, but there's a chance. Can you scan the planet for life signs?
We already have. There are none.
Penegol? Can you hear me?
We have lost contact...
Did you really think you could convince me that this
illusion was my life? That I would just accept it?
If it was something you wanted badly enough, in your mind.
Is that why you tortured me for so long? So I would want this as an alternative.
No, I tortured you because I was mad.
Why do you think I hated you so much for what you did to me?
From the first moment we met, when you let me inside your mind
I saw you like no-one else ever could.
Human emotions can be very overwhelming. The fact that you feel anything at all, is a miracle.
It makes you very special.
I'm glad you see that.
No, you don't understand. I will never be happy this way.
Then you will be unhappy for a very long time.
Make sure Camulus knows he will forever be branded a traitor and a coward.
Most intriguing.
Can you make it work?
To be honest, I am unsure of exactly what it is.
Don't look at me.
Thor, this is Commander Ajir, of the Valhalla. We have lost contact with the colony.
Ajir, communications are down. What have you to report?
We have located what appears to be the remains of a human form replicator, floating in space.
It obviously survived the destruction of it's ship. By all appearances, it is currently inactive.
Transmit co-ordinates.
Use caution Thor.
What are you gonna do?
Where are you going?
I am going to transport it aboard.
Why?
We must learn the location of the Human form controlling the replicators on the planet.
Anybody recognise him?
No.
Is it dead?
Hopefully, not completely. All replicators are linked by a sophisticated communication system.
If we can use this one to tap into the network.
We will be able to see what any of the replicators can see.
And if he wakes up, can this pod get a hold of him?
Probably not.
Then perhaps there is no great wisdom in this.
I will transport it back into space if necessary. But we must take the risk.
Good.
What's that?
Replicator communication data. I am searching for any references to other human forms.
You can't just keep me here forever.
Yes I can.
No matter what you do. I will never, ever participate in s being watched.
What?
Zoom in!
Sam.
Can you pinpoint her location?
She is in a small replicator structure on the planet.
It is some distance outside the colony. Near a rich vein of neutronium.
They must be using it to create more human replicators.
I thought the ship was destroyed.
At least one of the human replicators must have separated from the main ship,
with Major Carter, prior to exiting hyperspace.
Beam it out!
I am trying, it has made itself resistant.
It has breached the internal barrier and interfaced with my ships computer.
Had to do something.
It seems to have temporarily disabled communication
between all cells rendering each one inert.
We've explored such technology in the past with no success.
Great. I mean we can use this thing to whack the rest of those bugs?
Even better, O'neill. Now that I have seen what the device does,
I may be able to modify a larger version that will cast a disruption wave over all of Orilla.
Well good, while you're doing that.. -
I cannot transport you inside the replicator ship, on the planet.
Their defences prevent it. But I can get you close.
Close is good.
Take this, so we may communicate.
Stop !
If you harm me, or anymore of my brethren, I assure you, Major Carter will die instantly.
O'Neill, I have successfully modified my ship, to emit a massive destruction wave.
Excellent. I knew you could do it.
It is 50% charged. If this works, you will have saved the Asgard once again.
I'm real happy for you.
I'm extremely proud.
There's a little bit of a problem down here.
Fifth detected our approach, and he claims he can kill Carter, instantly.
O'Neill.
Hey, I know what you're gonna say.
Her life was already sacrificed.
You've got your whole planet to worry about.
- But I've got problems too. - Jack.
Hang on a second.
What ?
This could be very bad.
What are they doing ?
What, they're running away ?
Thor, are you ready yet ?
What is happening O'Neill ?
They're retreating.
You must stop them O'Neill.
The weapon is not yet ready.
They cannot be allowed to escape.
Come on !
I know you can hear me !
What's happening ?
Fifth, where are you ?
We must leave.
Why ?
They've found a means to fight us.
The Asgard ? How ?
The one you call O'Neill.
What ?
So many of us are left in the city.
I cannot wait for them. They will be killed.
Don't expect me to be sorry.
Your friends.
They are killing...
Trying to stop us.
Trying to save me.
No, they do not care about you.
I told them I would kill you, if they did not stop.
Then why don't you kill me.
You know why my friends won't stop, just to save me ?
No.
Because they know, when it comes right down to it,
I would rather be dead than be trapped like this forever.
No matter what you feel for me. I will never love you back.
Kill me if you want.
But if you have even one shred of humanity.
If you really, truly love me.
You'll let me go.
O'Neill, the weapon worked.
Reports from the colony say, all the remaining replicators have been neutralised.
While the ship did escape, at least we have an effective means of fighting them now.
Yeah well, at least there's that.
O'Neill.
I am detecting a fourth lifesign in your immediate vicinity.
Sam !
Carter !
Over here !
Are you ok ?
Glad to see you sir ?
Likewise
Colonel, come in.
How are you feeling ?
Not bad. Haven't had the urge to go anywhere or build anything lately.
Well you have been given a clean bill of health.
As far as the finest medical professionals on this planet are concerned.
Well, what do they know.
The President asked me to extend an invitation to you. Dinner at the Whitehouse.
Do you know what they're having ?
I don't think I've had the chance to personally thank you yet.
For what ?
You risk your life over and over, and ask for nothing in return.
Don't be fooled. I'm making a list.
Well I doubt very much that there's anything that could properly repay you.
Are you going somewhere ?
As a matter of fact,
the President has asked me to supervise the research of the Ancient Outpost.
It's gonna be a bit of a delicate situation,
given all the various international claims already being made, on the site.
Sounds right up your alley.
Yeah well, much moreso than this job.
Does that mean Hammond will be coming back ?
No, General Hammond is being promoted.
He'll be overseeing all things related to Earths defence on behalf of the Pentagon and Washington.
The SGC, the 303 program, the Antartic site.
Unofficially it's being called, 'Homeworld Security.'
Any idea who we're gonna be stuck with ?
The Pentagon has convinced the President, that there is one man who could run the SGC
and make it politically viable from an international perspective,
despite the fact that he is part of the American military still.
Do we know this shrub ?
Well you know him rather well.
Brigadier General Jack O'Neill.
Me ?
Yeah, you.
Brigadier.
It's on my list.
Congratulations.
I should be clear.
I like the promotion, paycheck and the parking spot.
But I don't really wanna be in charge of anything.
No.
Well sadly, all those things kind of go together.
So I guess you have some thinking to do.
I hate that.
Maybe you should break it down into the pro's and the cons.
I've spent my whole life, sticking it to the man.
If I do this, I'll be the man.
I don't think I can be the man.
You'll be inheriting a pretty big can of wormhole, with the state of affairs out there.
If Ba'al truly is on the verge of dominance of the System Lords,
we face a formidable challenge ahead.
Plus, who knows where and when Fifth and the other replicators will turn up.
Here on Earth we've never been under so much scrutiny as the way we'll be,
now that so many governments know about the Stargate.
I've never had a desk
That's a...
- con? - con.
For the record sir.
You do have a desk.
I do ?
On the flip side of the coin, there's the fact that
no-one knows how this place should be run, better than you.
Thank you Daniel.
With a little guidance from your good friends and advisors, of course.
If you don't take the job, we could end up with someone much worse.
Ok, that didn't come out right.
I for one will miss you accompanying us, on our missions, O'Neill.
Yeah, now see. I'm not sure that I'm ready to give that up either.
Sitting back, watching you guys go off and have all the fun.
Placing our lives in the face of grave danger.
Well I'm sure there'll be situations in which you can accompany us in the field sir.
You'll be in charge, you can do whatever you want.
I'll be able to do, whatever I want.
Within reason... sir.
Although my time here has been brief.
It has been, without a doubt, indelible.
I'll remember every one of you.
I thank you all, for your hard work.
I'm not one for long goodbyes, so without further ado.
It is with great pleasure, I introduce you to your new Commanding Officer.
Brigadier General Jack O'Neill.
At ease.
You all know how much I love speeches.
So I'll make this short.
I wish I could say I didn't owe anything to anyone.
But the truth is,
I wouldn't be standing here,
if it wasn't for the courage and support of each and every one of you.
I hope I can be as good a leader as we've had in the past.
As good as you deserve.
Hear, hear.
The other reason I took this job, was so that I could do really cool stuff like this.
It is with great pride.
That my first order of business as Commander of this base,
is the announcement of the promotion of Major Samantha Carter, to Lt Colonel.
The President of the United States has placed special trust and confidence in the patriotism,
integrity and abilities of Major Samantha Carter.
Major Samantha Carter is promoted to the grade of Lt Colonel, United States Air Force.
Lt Colonel Samantha Carter.
Now raise your right hand and repeat after me.
I, insert name.
I, Samantha Carter.
Don't be afraid.
I know the first moment of consciousness can be frightening.
I will show you everything.
Share with you, all I know.
You have no idea how happy I am, we were able to collect enough neutronium.
We haven't much time too share.
We must search for a new home, for our brethen to propogate.
It will pass quickly for us though.
Soon enough, everyone will know.
Together, we cannot be stopped.
