STARGATE SG1
Episode 207
"MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE"
By
Michael Greenburg & Jarrad Paul
The team are offworld and are wearing astronaut suits
JACK
Anybody home?
DANIEL
Jack it may as well be the moon out
here. If there ever was anybody home,
they've been gone a hundred thousand
years or more.
TEAL'C
This world is definitely Tal'ac. Though
it once supported life, it is now extinct.
SAM
Well the probe picked up an EM source
coming from something.
JACK
My guess,that thing.
A globe sits on to of a pedestal
SAM
It has the same EM frequency we picked
up from the probe. Sir, this artifact
or whatever it is, is definitely the
source.
JACK
Are we in danger?
SAM
No sir I don't think so. Not at the
moment. But, I mean this is incredible.
If Daniel is right, this artifact has
been doing this since Neanderthals were
still a dominant species on earth.
JACK
Ah, that takes me back.
DANIEL
Look at this writing of some kind, it's
so tiny.
JACK
What does it do?
SAM
Well, it's maintaining an interior temperature
of thirty three degrees Fahrenheit,
it's generating an electromagnetic field
and emitting small amounts of alpha,
gamma, and delta radiation.
JACK
Well I know that. Why does it do that?
I'm trying to make a threat assessment
here captain.
SAM
I don't know what it is sir. But its
got a power source more advanced then
anything we've come across, including
the Goa'uld.
DANIEL
It's a time capsule. Well, that's an
educated guess, but imagine your civilization
is facing a major cataclysm. The end
is coming, you know it. Wouldn't you
leave something behind? Something that
told everyone that came after you who
you were.
TEAL'C
Or how you died.
DANIEL
Yes. Imagine what you could learn about
your own fate.
TEAL'C
When a Goa'uld's world is taken by another
in battle, he will sometimes leave behind
the means to destroy the conqueror.
JACK
You think it might be a booby trap.
TEAL'C
Booby?
DANIEL
I don't think we're talking about the
Goa'uld here. Whoever this civilization
was went through great pains to leave
this artifact behind. Like a message
in a bottle.
JACK
You buying this Teal'c?
TEAL'C
The benefit may outweigh the risk.
SAM
The earth sure could use a power source
that lasts for thousands of years.
JACK
Alright. Pack it up. Let's go home.
SAM
Yes Sir.
They take the globe and head back to the gate. The globe is glowing
Titles
Gateroom
JACK
We acquired the package sir. I recommend
level three precautions.
HARRIMAN
Wormhole disengaged. Support teams go.
JACK
Careful with it, it's heavy.
SAM
Sir, start spectral analysis right away.
DANIEL
Oh, and input a detailed imaging of
the outer surface into the computer.
HAMMOND
Everything go as planned Colonel?
JACK
Oh, one small step one giant leap, that
kind of stuff sir.
HAMMOND
We'll debrief in one hour. Welcome home
SG-1.
Sams Lab. Daniel and Sam are working on the globe. Daniel is
trying to translate the writing.
SAM
Well we can add two more elements to
the periodic table. Lieutenant, I'd
like to record this.
GRAHAM
Whatever you say Captain.
SAM
Try to relax Graham or its going to
be a long day.
DANIEL
You know I don't think it's the artifact
he gets nervous like that every time
he's around you. Maybe a crush.
GRAHAM
We're recording now.
SAM
Thank you Lieutenant.
DANIEL
Oops. Hey, the artifact. Notice the
writing.
Briefing Room
DANIEL
So tiny it can't be read by the naked
eye.
HAMMOND
What does it say?
DANIEL
We think it's a set of instructions.
JACK
On how to..?
DANIEL
Open it. We think it opens. Well I'm
sure there's much more to it then that.
There's the equivalent of a thousand
pages of alien text on the exterior
surface alone.
HAMMOND
What about the object's interior?
SAM
We know very little. Fraiser is supervising
positron emission typography.
HAMMOND
You know I have the highest respect
for your abilities. But the NID wants
a look at the thing.
JACK
Well I recommend against shipping the
artifact anywhere just yet General.
TEAL'C
Since Daniel Jackson's theory on the
orb's function has yet to be confirmed,
it is in best for it to remain in close
proximity to the Stargate. At least
for the moment.
HAMMOND
You're scheduled to visit P4G-881.
DANIEL
Which is a primordial world with absolutely
no civilization whatsoever and therefore
no need to bring along an archeologist.
HAMMOND
I'm willing to delay that mission for
twenty four hours in order to confirm
your theory.
DANIEL
That's not enough time.
SAM
But we'll take it. Thank you.
Back inthe lab
SAM
Okay, let's try another X-ray series.
Y axis this time.
DANIEL
Sam.
SAM
Yeah?
DANIEL
Okay. Up until now I've been sorta going
on the assumption that this is a sort
of page one. It's relatively isolated
from the other groupings. Now I'm thinking
it's numerical.
SAM
Well, maybe the basis of their mathematics.
DANIEL
Right. That's what I thought. So if
these smaller symbols would represent
exponents.
SAM
So then this sequence grows exponential
to become a very big number.
DANIEL
Right. And that is information I can't
use.
Jack walks into the room
JACK
Good morning campers! Sleep well? I
did!
DANIEL
Oh it can't be morning .
JACK
Ah but it is. We ship out at, 1300 hours.
DANIEL
Okay Jack, talk to General Hammond.
JACK
Nope. I want you both rested and ready
to go. That's an order.
SAM
Yes Sir.
DANIEL
Jack, come on.
JACK
Daniel, SG-1 is a field until. You know
that. Can't have it both ways. When
we get back you can,visit.
GRAHAM
We've got a spike. An EM spike across
the Y band.
SAM
What?
GRAHAM
Interior temperature is increasing forty
degrees Fahrenheit.
JACK
Captain?
SAM
I don't know. I don't think we've done
anything.
DANIEL
Maybe we woke it up.
GRAHAM
Sixty Degrees.
SAM
Radiation levels?
GRAHAM
Alpha particle radiation generation
within the object's magnetic field is
increased four,six hundred percent.
SAM
Sir, I recommend we return the artifact
to P5C-353 now.
JACK
Go tell them to start dialing. Go.
GRAHAM
One hundred degrees.
JACK
Any idea what we're dealing with here?
SAM
No Sir.
The artifact breaks open down the middle emitting a purplish
glowing light.
JACK
Well I think we can rule out time capsule.
Daniel runs into the control room
DANIEL
Start dialing P5C-353 right away.
HAMMOND
By who's order?
DANIEL
Colonel O'Neill's.
HAMMOND
Do it.
HARRIMAN
Yes Sir.
HAMMOND
Dr. Jackson?
DANIEL
It's the artifact Sir. Something's wrong.
Sam and Jack are trying to free the globe
GRAHAM
Temperature is still increasing. One
hundred and ten degrees.
SAM
We'll need to put our suits back on.
JACK
No, There's not time for that. We'll
just open the gate and throw it back
through. Teal'c give me a hand here.
Sharp metal poles shoot out of the globe
JACK
Whoa.
TEAL'C
It does not wish to be removed.
JACK
That's too damn bad.
Control Room
HARRIMAN
Chevron six encoded.
Jack and Teal'c are carrying the globe through the corridor
The gate activates. Jack and Teal'c are holding the globe
HARRIMAN
Chevron seven locked.
SAM
Get out of there!
Jack is speared through the shoulder and slammed against the
wall
JACK
Ah! Oh god.
HAMMOND
Get security down there. But the base
on full alert.
SAM
We need a medical team.
HARRIMAN
Security to the embarkation room. Medical
team to the embarkation room.
Teal'c runs over to Jack
JACK
Kill it! God!
HARRIMAN
Sir, the Stargate?
HAMMOND
Shut it down.
SAM
Colonel! It goes right through his shoulder
into the concrete.
DANIEL
Oh my God.
HAMMOND
Get something to support his legs.
Janet hurries over to Jack
JANET
What can you tell me?
SAM
I don't know but it's still hot be careful.
GRAHAM
Temperature is 133 and holding.
JANET
This wound is too clean. There should
be blood. I don't know why there wasn't
more trauma.
JACK
Where the hell is Teal'c?
JANET
It's gone right through the scapula.
Colonel, why are....
JACK
Teal'c!
Teal'c runs in, holding his staff weapon
JACK
Shoot it!
SAM
Sir.
JACK
Shoot it!
TEAL'C
I suggest you observe from the control
room.
HAMMOND
Everybody out of here.
Everyone leaves the room
HAMMOND
TEAL'C, fire when ready.
SAM
With respect General, this is a mistake.
HAMMOND
Why?
SAM
We don't know how much of that staff
energy will be transferred through the
object into the Colonel.
HAMMOND
Your objection is noted.
JACK
Do it.
Tea'lc fires, with no effect. It is causing Jack greater pain
JACK
Again!
He fires again
JACK
Ah! God.
GRAHAM
No change
SAM
Sir it just absorbed the energy.
TEAL'C
This weapon is ineffective. I shall
try another.
SAM
No! Sir, that staff energy had to have
gone somewhere. We could be feeding
it what it wants for all we know.
HAMMOND
I want a cutting torch down there.
SAM
If it's made of the same non-terrestrial
alloys as the shell on the orb itself,
then it is several hundred times stronger
then steel.
JANET
Sir, with your permission.
HAMMOND
Colonel O'Neill, this is going to take
some time.
Hammond is on the phone in his office. Daniel and Sam are sitting
across the table from him
HAMMOND
I really don't give a damn on what Colonel
Mayborne has to say on the subject.
I've made my decision. Unless I'm ordered
to do otherwise, I'm not allowing anyone
in or out of the this facility until
we can send the damn thing back where
it came from. No General, thank you.
The NID people want to see it.
SAM
Even knowing what it's done to the Colonel?
DANIEL
Especially knowing what it's done to
the Colonel.
HAMMOND
They hoping we've found some kind of
weapon we can one day use against the
Goa'uld. All I can tell them is what
it isn't
.DANIEL
General, I don't know what to say. I
wanted the artifact to be something
wonderful.
HAMMOND
You have nothing to apologize for son.
We've brought things back from all over
the galaxy. One just finally slap us
in the face.
SAM
We've managed to collect a significant
amount of data before it hit the fan
sir.
HAMMOND
Then I suggest you get to it. Dismissed.
Sam and Daniel leave. Hammond picks up the phone
HAMMOND
This is Hammond. Lock up the mountain.
Authorization code red dash beta. Initiate
Wild Fire.
The mountain is sealed
"Attention personal. Level four quarantine is now in affect.
Switching to internal power and life support."
Gateroom
Siler is trying to cut through the spear holding Jack
JACK
Hot.
Janet injects him with something
JANET
I know. You have a very high fever which
is being caused by an infection. I'm
going to give you a broad spectra antibiotic
to help fight it.
GRAHAM
The artifacts internal temperature just
leveled off at 149 degrees Fahrenheit.
Teal'c walks over to Siler
TEAL'C
Sergeant. Your progress here is unsatisfactory.
GRAHAM
Can't go any faster sir. This is the
hardest stuff I've ever come across.
TEAL'C
Then I will delay you no further.
Daniel and Sam are speaking to a group of scientists
SAM
We're going to need everyone's help.
Colonel O'Neill is alive but obviously
he is in trouble.
DANIEL
The data we managed to gather before
this happened is all in the base computer.
It's not much but it's all we have.
Use it.
SAM
Don't rule anything out and don't make
any assumptions.
DANIEL
I'll be leading the translation team.
SAM
And we'll be working out of the astrophysics
lab but we're all going to have to work
together on this one. Any questions?
CAPTAIN
So obviously we're dealing with a weapon.
SAM
That's an assumption Captain. All right.
Let's get to work.
Sam talks to Janet
SAM
How is he?
JANET
He's developed an infection. I've got
him pumped full of antibiotics which,
amazingly, has seemed to slow it down
its progress.
SAM
Why is that amazing?
JANET
I think you should see this.
Control Room
JANET
It's mobile like a bacteria but small
like a virus and slightly radioactive.
Definitely alien. And they also seem
to bond in chains.
SAM
And it's infected the Colonel?
JANET
This is why I wanted you to see it.
I took this from a section of Colonel
O'Neill's uniform around his wound.
SAM
What are you saying? Its infected his
clothes as well as living tissue?
JANET
And it's metabolizing the material as
if it were living tissue. Like a form
of Necrotising fasciitis.
SAM
Flesh eating disease? Ok. You said slightly
radioactive?
JANET
Yeah.
SAM
Lieutenant. We used ultraviolet when
we were performing tests on the iris'
structural integrity.
GRAHAM
Right.
SAM
Yeah.
Simmons uses the phone
GRAHAM
Lets get some UV units in the gateroom.
SAM
Teal'c, Colonel. It's just going to
get a little dark in there for a few
seconds while we try something.
GRAHAM
And bringing up the UV lights now.
JANET
Oh my god.
The lights show that whatever is in the globe is travelling into
Jack and is spreading through the walls.
SAM
This is an even bigger problem then
we thought.
GRAHAM
Captain Carter? What's happening to
me?
Graham is infected
Hammonds Office
Janet is preparing to inject him
SAM
It can infect virtually any substance,
even concrete.
HAMMOND
This entire complex is made of concrete.
SAM
Worse then that we've already determined
it's got a taste for the base wiring.
Which means its going to affect, or
rather infect, our computers and communication.
HAMMOND
Then we need to kill it. How do we do
that?
JANET
We've spread around the computer base
main frame a sort of pesticide but it
hasn't even slowed the organism down.
HAMMOND
What was that you just gave me?
JANET
Tetracycline. It's kept the infection
at bay in the Colonel and it seems to
work proactively with everyone I've
been able to get a shot into. But sir,
I'll need more
HAMMOND
Absolutely not. A wildfire directive
means nothing in or out, you know that.
JANET
Sir, Lt. Simmon's infection is even
more far gone the Colonel O'Neill's
but he's allergic to Tetracycline. None
of the alternatives I have on base
HAMMOND
Don't make me repeat myself Doctor.
JANET
With your permission sir, I'd better
get back to the infirmary.
HAMMOND
Captain.
SAM
Sir?
HAMMOND
I need your honest assessment. Can we
beat this thing?
SAM
Like the Colonel always says: 'never
give up', right? I'm not sure sir.
HAMMOND
Maybe it's time we considered evacuating
personal through the Stargate.
SAM
I thought of that, but to where? There's
no guarantee we can stop the organism
from coming through the gate along with
us. I don't think we have the right
to infect another world.
HAMMOND
Well there are a number of uninhabited
worlds we could gate through. Albeit,
most are uninhabited for good reason.
SAM
Even if we could evacuate a number of
survivors, practically every one of
us is infected by the organism to some
degree. Without antibiotics, we'd all
be like Lt. Simmons right now. The survivors
would run out of supplies in a few days.
HAMMOND
At least they'd have that much time
to find a solution.
SAM
It's not worth the risk in my opinion
sir. We don't even know what the orb
would do if we tried to activate the
Stargate again.
HAMMOND
Very well. We'll make our stand right
here Captain.
SAM
Yes sir. They won't take us without
a fight sir.
HAMMOND
Damn right they won't.
Gateroom.
Jack's infection is growing rapidly. Siler is trying to get through
the spear with a blow torch
JACK
Teal'c.
TEAL'C
I am here O'Neill.
JACK
It's hot.
TEAL'C
The fever burns within you.
JACK
You?
TEAL'C
The symbiote I carry appears to protect
me.
JACK
Way to go Junior.
TEAL'C
Doctor Frasier will find a cure.
JACK
Teal'c, you don't have to stick around.
TEAL'C
Undomesticated equines could not remove
me.
JACK
Wild horses TEAL'C it's, that's a joke.
You told a joke. Don't make me laugh.
TEAL'C
Very well.
JACK
You're a good man my friend.
TEAL'C
As are you, my friend.
Jack is speared further into the wall
JACK
Ah! Teal'c!
TEAL'C
It will not allow us to free you O'Neill.
JACK
God, God help.
Daniel and Sam are in the lab. Daniel is working on the translation
DANIEL
Alright. Presuming this is page one
and presuming this sequence is some
kind of whole numbers that represents
exponential growth...what does that
mean?
SAM
Well, it could represent the growth
pattern of the alien organism. So far
its spread has followed an exponential
curve.
DANIEL
Alright. So, from that we can extrapolate
that it is a warning. This organism
will continue to grow and expand exponential
until...what? Until we die? I mean,
if that's what it says, what's the point
of saying it?
SAM
Try turning the page. Maybe the answer
is there.
DANIEL
Right.
Graham Simmons is in bed in the infirmary
JANET
How's the pain?
GRAHAM
It's not too bad.
JANET
Well, I'm going to give you something
for it anyway.
GRAHAM
Hey. If you see Captain Carter.
JANET
Tell you what Lieutenant, she has to
come down in a couple of hours for her
booster so I'll make sure I send her
over.
Sam's Lab
SAM
I was right. TEAL'C's staff blast gave
it the energy it needed to spread like
this. It's reproducing because we fed
it. Damn. Why did I let them do that?
CAPTAIN
Okay, so it feeds on energy. How do
we use that? It feeds on everything.
SAM
Have the CO2 levels gone up?
CAPTAIN
Yeah, but the scrubbers are handling
it.
SAM
Like fire. Add energy a fire burns hotter.
Add fuel it burns longer but it can't
live without one thing.
CAPTAIN
Oxygen
SAM
Yes
CAPTAIN
We can't either.
SAM
Yeah, but at least we can slow it down.
There's a glitch in the computer
CAPTAIN
What's happening?
SAM
Its gotten into our computers. Keep
working.
Sam leaves the room
MAN
Can't come this way Captain, it's eating
through steam pipes.
She gets into an elevator, which then gets stuck
SAM
Hello? Somebody!
Daniel hears her shouting
DANIEL
Hello?
SAM
Somebody!
DANIEL
Hello?
SAM
Daniel! I'm stuck in here. Get the doors
open. Hurry up. It's eating through
the control panel.
He get's the elevator open
DANIEL
Sam!
SAM
I'm okay. I'll explain later.
Teal'c is using the blowtorch. Daniel and Sam walk into the control
room.
SAM
General, sir. I have something. What
is he doing?
HAMMOND
Teal'c is trying to stop the spread
of the organism at the source.
SAM
Tell him to stop.
HAMMOND
Why? It seems to be working.
SAM
Only because the fire is temporarily
consuming the oxygen in the room. It
feeds on energy. Sir, I'm asking you
to trust me.
HAMMOND
TEAL'C, stand down. We're going to try
another approach.
TEAL'C shuts off the blowtorch
SAM
Okay. The organism needs Oxygen to reproduce.
Now since we are on internal life support
we can adjust the CO2 scrubbers and
lower the Oxygen levels.
HAMMOND
How low are we talking?
SAM
We'll start at 8%, but we'll have to
start now.
HAMMOND
Do it.
HARRIMAN
General Hammond, sir. I think you should
see this.
WILDFIRE INITIATED
Autoself destruct has been initiated
HARRIMAN
I didn't touch a thing. This self destruct
countdown started on its own.
SAM
General?
HAMMOND
In the event of containment failure,
Wildfire kicks in automatically.
SAM
Sir, we have to deactivate the autodestruct.
HAMMOND
We have a responsibility to make sure
the organism doesn't leave the mountain
Captain.
SAM
With all due respect sir, I don't think
you understand. It could feed from the
energy of the staff blast, how far do
you think it will spread if the autodestruct
goes off?
HAMMOND
I need two officers to override.
Hammond and Sam type in their passwords
SAM
The organism has invaded our computers.
It won't recognize our codes.
HAMMOND
The devices internal clock has been
activated. We can't stop it without
the computer.
SAM
Well then in just under three hours
the organism will be feed enough energy
to spread across the face of the earth.
Teal'c talks with Jack
JACK
I blew it. I screwed up.
TEAL'C
I also believed we should retrieve the
object.
JACK
It was my decision.
TEAL'C
If we are to met the challenge of the
Goa'uld, and further your race, risks
must be taken. Your decision was correct.
Sam gets an injection, in the infirmary
FRASIER
You idea seems to be working
SAM
Yeah, seems to have slowed the progress
of the organism by 90%.
FRASIER
Well don't jump up and down or you'll
get my other patients all excited.
SAM
Even in a completely anaerobic environment,
the organism just goes dormant. All
we've done is buy ourselves some time
before. I've got to get back to work.
FRASIER
Well before you do, if you wouldn't
mind stopping by to see SILER.
SAM
How's he doing?
Sam goes over to Simmons bedside
SAM
Graham?
GRAHAM
Captain Carter.
SAM
We're fighting this thing Graham. You
just got to hang in there, okay?
GRAHAM
Before I, I just wanted to say, how
much, how I'm doin so far?
SAM
You're doing just fine.
He closes his eyes, and Sam leaves
Daniel is continuing with the translation. He is tired and the
computer screen develops a glitch. A symbol keeps reappearing
DANIEL
Come here
CAPTAIN
Who?
DANIEL
Anybody, just come here. Look at this.
Wait for it. There.
CAPTAIN
That symbol is on the artifact.
DANIEL
Yes it is. It's trying to communicate
with us.
Daniel, Sam and Hammond are in the control room
DANIEL
I think what we thought was gibberish
on all the computers was actually the
aliens attempt to communicate with us.
SAM
Maybe. But the symbols you're seeing
could also be from the random files
of our research.
DANIEL
No, that's impossible. See, I didn't
start working on this sequence until
after the computers went down.
HAMMOND
Assuming you're right, what are they
trying to communicate?
DANIEL
Well, they could be saying take me to
your leader for all I know. I have no
idea. The point is, they are trying.
We haven't even considered what we're
up against here is an alien intelligence.
We've treated it like a disease, like
a plague. Not once have we stopped to
listen.
HAMMOND
How do we do that?
SAM
We let it grow.
HAMMOND
What?
SAM
We increase the Oxygen levels even higher
then normal. We hit it with another
staff weapon blast. We let it do what
it's been trying to do.
HAMMOND
The exact opposite of the advice you've
been giving me up until now. Which is
it Captain?
SAM
Sir, we both know what will happen if
we don't try something.
Gateroom
Dabuekm Sam and Hammond enter
SAM
Fraiser says the organism bonds together
in chains. What if it's only capable
of expressing that intelligence once
it hits critical mass?
DANIEL
Even if you're right and we let it take
over the computers, it's going to be
communicating in a language that I can't
translate without a point of reference.
SAM
Maybe Colonel O'Neill didn't just get
in the way. Fraiser said there was no
blood. There was practically no trauma
around that wound. With the force that
struck him, it's just not possible.
DANIEL
Unless it did it on purpose.
SAM
Yes! We have to cut off his medication
sir.
HAMMOND
Are you out of your mind?
TEAL'C
If you do so, O'Neill will die.
SAM
He'd want us to try this.I know it.
DANIEL
Communicate with the organism through
Jack?
SAM
Yes. I think that's what it has been
trying to do all along.
Control Room
HARRIMAN
Oxygen level 30% above normal.
SAM
Sir? Sir, I don't know if what we are
about to try is a good idea or not,
but you have the right to know. You
might not survive it.
She holds is hand and takes out the IV
SAM
Okay Teal'c.
Teal'c fires the staff weapon
SAM
Again.
He fires again. More and more of the energy is being absorbed
by Jack
SAM
We have to. Again.
Sam goes over to Jack
SAM
No pulse.
Jack wakes up
JACK
Good morning campers.
JACK
This is truly a strange feeling.
SAM
Colonel?
JACK
Yes, he is here.
HAMMOND
Who else are talking too?
JACK
We are also here.
HAMMOND
My name is...
JACK
Hammond, yes. O'Neill knows.
HAMMOND
Then you should also know we mean you
no harm.
JACK
You awoke us.
HAMMOND
We have only recently become aware of
your existence.
JACK
You would have returned us to our former
world.
TEAL'C
We believed you were a threat to us.
DANIEL
We feared you.
JACK
And your fear would have destroyed us.
Millennia ago our world was dying. We
could no longer live there. For this
reason, we created the orb.
DANIEL
Where you slept for a hundred thousand
years.
JACK
Yes Daniel.
DANIEL
Waiting for someone to come along, like
us, and take you through the Stargate.
JACK
So it was written on the orb. Once exposed
to the atmosphere of a living world,
we went forth
DANIEL
And multipled.
O'NEIL
So it was written.
INTERCOM
Autoself destruct in four minutes.
JACK
We can not go back.
HAMMOND
We can not allow you to stay.
JACK
O'Neill feels this as well. However,
you have allowed us no alternatives.
SAM
General, we're almost out of time.
HAMMOND
This place, admittedly out of our ignorance,
is about to be destroyed by an explosion.
JACK
Such energy only serves to nourish us.
We will multiple and consume your world.
HAMMOND
If you would allow us to restore our
communications, we could stop that from
happening. We would survive.
JACK
O'Neill desires this as well. He wishes
to live. But what of us?
DANIEL
P4G 881! It's primordial, lots of oxygen
and sunlight. Like this world was a
quarter of a billion years ago.
SAM
Sir, we can't open the Stargate without
the computers.
JACK
You would send us there? Through your
stargate?
HAMMOND
We would.
JACK
For what reason?
HAMMOND
So that we both may survive.
Jack appears to collapse
DANIEL
We'll take you there ourselves, Please!
The power goes
HARRIMAN
Everything just shut down!
