STARGATE SG1
Episode 612
"UNNATURAL SELECTION"
By
Brad Wright
O’NEILL
Thor, buddy. There’s no way.
THOR
The Replicators will soon consume all
that they can within our home galaxy.
Yours will be next.
O’NEILL
I thought we were too primitive to consume?
THOR
Your technology would not immediately
attract the Replicators but they would
eventually be drawn to the raw materials
of which your civilisation is built.
Your extinction will be assured.
CARTER
For that matter, so would every other
world we’ve visited. It’s just a matter
of time.
JONAS
Did all of the Asgard manage to escape?
THOR
Most, but not all. A great battle was
fought. The evacuation fleet is standing
by in the void between our two galaxies
awaiting to hear word of your response.
O’NEILL
My response?
THOR
We have done all that we can and failed
O’Neill. You and your team represent
our last hope.
O’NEILL
Yeah, great. So no pressure, right?
THOR
If you have in fact made your decision
not to undertake this task, I will inform
the council.
O’NEILL
Just give me a minute here, okay?
TEAL’C
Are you reconsidering O’Neill?
O’NEILL
I’m considering re-considering.
JONAS
Well there has to be other options.
THOR
We believe there is no alternative plan
of action.
CARTER
Thor, I don’t think you’re realising
what you’re asking us to do.
THOR
In the past your projectile weapons
have been most effective.
O’NEILL
Well we don’t have any projectile weapons
with us at the moment and according
to Carter we’re a long way from...
Thor touches a button. Earth comes into view.
O’NEILL
Home.
CARTER
You towed us back into Earth’s orbit.
THOR
Correct Major Carter. The contents of
your armoury at Stargate Command along
with the appropriate attire, food and
other supplies you may require are now
being transported aboard this vessel.
O’NEILL
I hope you did the paperwork.
CARTER
Wait a minute, we have a few passengers..
THOR
They are being transported to Stargate
Command.
O’NEILL
I haven’t said yes yet.
THOR
But you are reconsidering.
O’NEILL
I’m leaning in the general direction.
Thor pushes another button and the ship moves away from Earth.
O’NEILL
Hey, what are you doing?
CARTER
We’re leaving the solar system.
O’NEILL
Thor, little fella. It’s not the way
it works. It’s not my ship. It’s not
up to me.
THOR
The journey to our home galaxy will
take many hours with your vessel in
tow. You may consult your superiors
en route.
CONTROL ROOM SGC
Hammond comes down the stairs.
HAMMOND
Sergeant?
SILER
I can’t explain it Sir. It’s like everything
in the armoury just disappeared. P90’s,
SPAZ 12’s, SAWs, claymores. Everything.
DAVIS
Sir. Four of the people who commandeered
the X 303 just appeared out of thin
air in the holding room. Air Force personnel,
a reporter just beamed into the cafeteria
kitchen up on Level 22. Half the food
stores went missing at the same time.
HAMMOND
You’re certain the Stargate’s been inactive?
DAVIS
Yes sir.
HAMMOND
What in God’s name is happening?
Jack suddenly appears as a hologram.
O’NEILL
Hello, sir. Siler, how you doing?
HAMMOND
Colonel. It’s good to see you alive
and well. We were concerned the X 303
was lost with all hands.
O’NEILL
No sir, we’re all fine. Except for the
Goa’uld and Simmons of course.
HAMMOND
So you were rescued by the Asgard?
O’NEILL
Actually it kinda looks like we’ll be
coming to their rescue, sir.
HAMMOND
Does that have anything to do with the
supplies and equipment that are disappearing
from all over my base?
O’NEILL
Yes sir. Sufficed to say, you might
want to get upstairs and punch one on
the old speed dial.
HAMMOND
My grandchildren?
O’NEILL
Two then. I think the President might
want to know what the Asgard have in
mind for our new ship.
BRIDGE OF THE X 303
Jack walks in where Sam is working on something.
O’NEILL
They didn’t go for it.
CARTER
They didn’t approve the mission?
O’NEILL
Oh no, they did that. Once they knew
the stakes and the fate of the universe
stuff. Both the President and Hammond
realised we had no choice. He sends
good luck, godspeed and all those things
he says when he thinks we’re gonna die.
CARTER
So what didn’t they go for?
O’NEILL
The name I suggested.
CARTER
For the ship?
O’NEILL
Yeah.
CARTER
Yeah Sir, we can’t call it the Enterprise.
O’NEILL
Why not?
CARTER
The codename for the project is Prometheus.
What’s wrong with that?
O’NEILL
It’s a Greek tragedy. Who wants that?
CARTER
Okay. The X303 it is then.
O’NEILL
Yeah. What have you got there?
CARTER
Well, the Asgard surmised that the Replicators
probably disabled the time dilation
device by destroying the control interface
mechanism.
O’NEILL
Uh-huh.
CARTER
Well, it’s really not much more than
an advanced timer. But since any Asgard
technology we took along would cause
the Replicators to swarm all over us.
Thor had a facsimile of their interface
built from Earth based materials. It’ll
work just as well as the original but
it shouldn’t attract the Replicators.
O’NEILL
I’m hungry.
CARTER
Cargo bay three, sir.
O’NEILL
Thanks.
Jack leaves.
CARGO BAY THREE
Teal’c and Jonas are eating ice cream. Jack opens the door.
O’NEILL
You guys trying to make yourself sick?
JONAS
Well Thor forgot to take the need for
refrigeration into account so we figured
we’d start with the frozen stuff. This
is good. Mmmm.
O’NEILL
I’ll buy that.
Jack sits down.
O’NEILL
So Jonas, first time going up against
a Replicator, eh?
Jack tries to eat some of Teal’c’s ice cream and he pulls it
out of his reach. Teal’c gets him another one.
JONAS
I think I have a pretty good idea of
what to expect though. Teal’c told me
all about them and I have everything
Dr Jackson wrote. They’re fascinating.
O’NEILL
Fascinating?
JONAS
Well think about it. We have a human
scientist who creates this android girl
who then goes on to create these Replicators
as a toy. Well at least the concept
of something that starts out so innocent
become so evil, well that’s got to be
fascinating to you.
TEAL’C
Replicators exist merely to increase
their numbers and do so without prejudice.
They are no more evil that a virus.
O’NEILL
A really evil virus.
JONAS
Well yes we can all agree that any living
thing that isn’t inherently evil in
itself is capable of undertaking actions
that are evil.
Teal’c swaps his ice cream for Jack’s.
TEAL’C
We are slowing.
CARTER
Colonel, you should come forward, Sir.
(on radio)
O’NEILL
We’re on our way.
BRIDGE
Jack, Teal’c and Jonas walk onto the bridge.
CARTER
WE just came out of hyperspace a minute
ago.
THOR
We dare proceed no further without risk
of engaging the Replicators. You will
have to continue from this point on
your own ship's power.
O’NEILL
But you’re gonna wait here for us, right?
THOR
There is now another concern. Our long-range
sensors have discovered the time dilation
device was indeed activated.
O’NEILL
Well that’s good. It’s not good?
THOR
Time is now progressing faster within
the field.
CARTER
They reversed it?
THOR
By a factor of ten squared.
O’NEILL
What is with you people? Time machines
are nothin but trouble, even we know
that.
TEAL’C
Clearly the Replicators have discovered
a means of utilising the time dilation
machine to serve their own purpose.
JONAS
Well what would that purpose be?
O’NEILL
Well, I gotta tell you this changes
things. Carter, how does this change
things?
CARTER
I don’t know, Sir. I guess it doesn’t.
O’NEILL
You mean we’ve got the same problem
we had an hour ago.
CARTER
Well the difference is, in that hour,
four days have passed for the Replicators.
Depending on when they did this, relatively
speaking, they could have experienced
hundreds of years.
O’NEILL
I get it.
THOR
If you wish to reconsider...
O’NEILL
No. No. Full well expected the other
shoe to drop eventually.
THOR
We can only hope this will be the last
footwear to fall. The co-ordinates to
the planet have already been programmed
into your navigational computer. We
have modified your engines and structural
integrity fields to their maximum potential
to assure your safe arrival. We will
monitor your progress as best we can.
Good Luck.
Thor disappears.
Everyone sits down.
CARTER
Setting course to programmed co ordinates.
Throttling up sub light engines.
SPACE
The Asgard ship moves off.
ARMOURY.
Jonas is loading a P90.
O’NEILL
Again.
JONAS
My hands are covered in blisters. They’re
not gonna work any faster.
CARTER
Colonel, we’re about to pass through
into the time dilation field. (on radio)
O’NEILL
We’re on our way.
BRIDGE
TEAL’C
A replicator controlled vessel approaches.
CARTER
Hopefully they’ll agree with Thor and
think this ship’s a piece of junk.
TEAL’C
They are scanning us.
CARTER
Sir, we’re being scanned by the Replicators
ship. Stand by.
O’NEILL
We still in business? (over radio)
TEAL’C
Indeed.
CARTER
Yes Sir, it’s moving off. It’s like
we’re clear to enter the planet’s atmosphere.
(over radio)
The ship moves towards the planet.
BRIDGE
Jack and Jonas walk onto the bridge.
CARTER
We’re detecting one structure at the
designated co-ordinates.
O’NEILL
Just the one?
TEAL’C
There appears to be little topography
of any kind.
JONAS
Two hundred metres.
CARTER
Throttling down to fifty percent.
JONAS
One five zero metres.
CARTER
The surface appears to be completely
smooth.
JONAS
One hundred metres.
TEAL’C
No sign of Replicators.
CARTER
Deceleration thrusters are firing.
JONAS
Five zero metres.
CARTER
The inertial compensators and structural
integrity are at maximum. Landing struts
are at full extension.
There’s a flash of light.
O’NEILL
What was that?
CARTER
Lightning sir. All systems are still
go.
JONAS
Ten metres.
Something explodes in the background. Teal’c goes to correct
it.
JONAS
Five metres.
They land.
JONAS
Touchdown.
CARTER
Shutting down thrusters.
Jack looks out the window.
O’NEILL
Get a message to Thor. Let him know
we touched down. Let’s move out.
PLANET
SG1 walk towards the structure.
JONAS
This can’t be the only structure on
the entire planet.
O’NEILL
I’d be willing to bet the bugs ate everything
else.
JONAS
Then where are they?
Carter sweeps away some dust on the ground.
CARTER
Sir. You’re not gonna like this.
JONAS
What is it?
TEAL’C
This planet's surface appears to be
covered with Replicator blocks.
CARTER
Probably more than one layer and who
knows how thick it is. Maybe miles.
JONAS
Why would that be?
CARTER
Well it could be a by-product of the
reverse time dilation. In relative time,
they’ve been here hundreds of years
but there’s nothing left here to consume
so they’re just conserving energy.
JONAS
What’s keeping them here?
O’NEILL
Who cares. Watch your step.
INSIDE THE STRUCTURE.
SG1 go down some steps into a room.
Sam goes to the device.
CARTER
Sir the original interface is still
intact. I might be able to...
They hear footsteps. A man appears.
FIFTH
Who are you?
O’NEILL
Colonel Jack O’Neill, US Air Force,
Earth. Who are you?
FIFTH
The others are coming.
More people appear.
FIRST
What do you think you are doing?
O’NEILL
Clocks are running a little fast around
here. Thought we’d stop by, wind ‘em.
We’ll be on our way.
FIRST
Your companion is attempting to alter
the settings on the time device and
we cannot allow that. If she does not
stop immediately, we will be forced
to take action.
O’NEILL
Well; now, if you do that, we might
be forced to take our own action.
FIRST
Tell your companion to stop.
O’NEILL
Carter, how much time you need there?
CARTER
A lot, Sir. Maybe a few hours.
O’NEILL
Hours?
CARTER
Sir, the interface was completely rebuilt.
I’m not even sure where to start.
O’NEILL
Couldn’t you crank it up a little bit?
Move things along?
CARTER
It doesn’t work that way sir.
FIRST
Ironic, isn’t it?
O’NEILL
Who are you people? Because if you haven’t
noticed this entire planet is paved
with replicators.
FIRST
We are aware of this.
O’NEILL
Then you should also know that these
things have taken millions of lives
and they’ll keep on doing that unless
we stop them.
SECOND
He doesn’t understand.
O’NEILL
You know, he’s standing right here.
FIRST
We cannot allow you to stop them, I’m
afraid.
O’NEILL
Why not?
FIRST
We are replicators.
O’NEILL
Ah.
Jack opens fire. So do Teal’c and Jonas. The people just stand
there as they blow holes in the walls. Replicator bugs then appear.
FIRST
Tell your companion to step away from
the device.
O’NEILL
Carter.
She moves away.
FIRST
Your projectile weapon?
O’NEILL
Yeah, you know, I think we’ll hang onto
those for a while.
The bugs move away.
FIRST
Now there is no need.
They put their weapons down.
FIRST
Where are my manners? This is something
of an occasion after all, isn’t it?
Our first meeting. Welcome.
He puts his hand out. Jack ignores it.
FIRST
Colonel, if we really intended you harm,
do you believe you would be standing
there? As I said, welcome.
Jack shakes his hand and collapses in pain. First puts his hand
into Jack’s forehead.
JACK’S UNCONSCIOUS MIND
Jack and First are in the Gateroom. It’s quite dark.
FIRST
We are inside your unconscious mind
now.
O’NEILL
You’d think there’d be more lights on.
FIRST
This place must be important to you.
O’NEILL
I work here.
FIRST
Your iris code is 903224637.
O’NEILL
Wow, that’s.... close. Here’s one for
you. I’m thinking of an animal.
FIRST
I never expected that you would amuse
me.
O’NEILL
I never expected you to put your hand
in my head.
FIRST
Your mind is incredible.
O’NEILL
Well...
FIRST
Such chaos and humour and pain.
Flashback to when Charlie shot himself in Cold Lazarus.
FIRST
You’re correct to blame yourself, your
son would be alive but for your carelessness.
O’NEILL
Don’t do that again.
FIRST
That will be your punishment each time
you attempt to conceal something from
me on our journey.
The Gate activates.
O’NEILL
Where we going?
FIRST
Every place you have ever been.
They walk through the Gate.
X303 BRIDGE
Teal’c wakes up. He looks round and switches the lights on. Sam
and Jack are in their chairs too. He shakes Jack who wakes up
and holds his hands to his face.
O’NEILL
Crap! Holy Jesus!
Jack then shakes Sam.
O’NEILL
Carter! Jonas!
Jonas falls off his chair.
JONAS
Her hand was inside my head. It was
like a .... It was like a nightmare.
CARTER
I think we all had a similar experience.
I don’t remember much of it.
TEAL’C
Nor do I.
O’NEILL
How long were we out?
CARTER
Thirty-seven hours sir. Ship time.
JONAS
Why would they bring us back here?
TEAL’C
Perhaps we can take advantage of the
situation.
CARTER
Detonate the hyperdrive, you mean. An
overload would cause a pretty big explosion.
O’NEILL
Big enough to be worth it?
CARTER
I honestly don’t know, Sir.
O’NEILL
Go.
Sam leaves.
O’NEILL
Get a message to Thor. Let him know
how massively he screwed up.
Jack gets up and Jonas follows. They walk along the corridors
towards the room where Sam went.
JONAS
Hey Colonel. Colonel, I don’t think
this is going to work.
O’NEILL
If Carter says she can do it....
JONAS
Yeah, but if explosives and weapons
worked, the Asgard would have won their
war.
O’NEILL
I suppose you want to talk to these
bug people?
JONAS
Don’t you?
O’NEILL
No.
JONAS
Maybe we can reason with them. If we
blow this ship, then we lose that option
altogether.
O’NEILL
If we blow the ship, I won’t care.
JONAS
Colonel, I don’t think that you fully
appreciate what they’ve become.
O’NEILL
Replicators who look like we do.
JONAS
More than that. Sir, this is a huge
leap in their evolution.
O’NEILL
Jonas! They are replicators.
They enter the room where Sam is and see Fifth standing there
with her.
O’NEILL
Carter? What’s going on?
CARTER
Everything’s fine, Sir. We were just
chatting. He carried us back here, Sir.
One at a time. So we’d be more comfortable.
JONAS
Thanks.
FIFTH
It was not difficult.
CARTER
Apparently Sir, we’re invited to dinner.
FIFTH
At his request.
O’NEILL
Who’s?
FIFTH
First.
O’NEILL
And you are?
FIFTH
I was Fifth. The others are merging
with our replicator brethren but they
will return soon.
O’NEILL
Yeah, you wanna let him know we’ve made
other plans?
FIFTH
Exploding your vessel would only serve
to feed energy to the replicator blocks
on the surface of the planet. Your food
stores have already been taken to the
temple.
JONAS
When are we expected?
FIFTH
When you become hungry.
Fifth leaves.
JONAS
That one’s different.
CARTER
No kidding. I mean he comes across as
almost human.
O’NEILL
Well he’s not.
CARTER
So what do we do?
JONAS
Can we leave?
CARTER
The ship will fly but I don’t know how
far we’ll get. Sir, if this really is
the next evolution of the replicators
we should find out as much as possible
about them and try to report it back
somehow.
O’NEILL
Anyone hungry?
PLANET
SG1 walk to the structure.
INSIDE THE STRUCTURE
SG1 walk down the steps.
FIRST
Colonel O’Neill. Major Carter. Teal’c.
Jonas. Welcome.
O’NEILL
You’ll forgive us if we don’t shake
your hands this time.
FIRST
Please sit and replenish yourselves.
Organic forms store energy so inefficiently.
O’NEILL
Yeah. I assume you’re Sixth.
SIXTH
Yes.
FIRST
Our newest addition.
O’NEILL
You’re kinda going girl, boy, girl,
boy.
CARTER
Sir, the entire table...
O’NEILL
I see that.
They sit down.
JONAS
We still have some questions that we
never got a chance to ask last time
we met.
FIRST
When our replicator brethren discovered
the android Reese, they realised she
was their creator. They studied her
design and form and found aspects of
her technology superior to their own.
SECOND
Our brethren are composed of ungainly
blocks.
THIRD
We are composed of millions of cell
units. Microscopic in comparison that
combine to create this form.
CARTER
Like nanites, Sir.
O’NEILL
I hate those things.
FIRST
My creation took place in the last moment
before the Asgard time device was to
activate. There was a miniscule crack
in the neutronium shell. I could penetrate
this where my replicator brethren could
not. I managed to stop the machine before
it activated and eventually used it
to suit our purpose.
JONAS
Which is?
FIRST
To increase our number. That has never
changed. And now thanks to the Asgard,
we have all the time in the world. In
a few short years, we will go forth
as an army.
O’NEILL
Yeah, see. We can’t you do that.
SECOND
You cannot stop us.
FIRST
Was it not in the same way that you
became the dominant species of your
world? Is it not a process of natural
selection? The strong survive.
JONAS
Yeah, but there’s nothing truly natural
about you. I mean, you’ve seen into
our minds, I’m quite certain you can
all tell the difference.
FIRST
Of course. We are far superior. And
if you could see into the mind of an
animal you would blindly feed upon,
you would reach the same conclusion.
CARTER
It was our kind that built your creator.
You’ve created yourselves in our image.
FOURTH
No. In the image of Reese.
O’NEILL
Yeah, now see, there was something wrong
with her programming, you all know that.
FIRST
The flaw in the emulation programming
was discovered during my creation. Eat.
O’NEILL
You know, I think that flaw’s kinda
hanging on there.
FIRST
We attempted to correct the error in
the creation of Fifth. But thus far,
he has proven to be far too...
JONAS
Human?
FIRST
Weak.
CARTER
Maybe Fifth represents what you’re supposed
to be?
FIRST
No. We won’t make the same mistake again.
Now, you have your answers, eat.
JONAS
Why?
FIRST
To regain your strength.
O’NEILL
Why do you care?
FIFTH
So you’ll be strong enough.
JONAS
For what?
FIFTH
To go into your minds over and over.
FIRST
Could there be any other reason we would
keep you alive?
A replicator drops down.
FIRST
It will be far less painful if you don’t
resist.
FIFTH
Stop.
The replicators move away.
FIRST
Why?
FIFTH
You’ve learnt everything you need to
know.
FIRST
There are four minds to explore at least
once. And Sixth is very curious to experience
their thoughts. And you, you haven’t
yet had your chance.
FIFTH
No.
FIRST
I insist. I want you to see the disorder,
the chaos, recognise what they are in
comparison. You need to understand what
you are. Visit their memories of worlds
we will conquer. Do you understand?
FIFTH
Yes.
CARTER
I won’t blame you if you choose me.
O’NEILL
Carter?
CARTER
It’s all right Sir. Last time I didn’t
remember a thing.
She gets up and walks over to him. He puts his hands on her face
and leans his head towards her.
FIFTH’S UNCONSCIOUS MIND.
It looks like the planet.
CARTER
I don’t know what you’re showing me
but it’s not my unconscious mind.
FIFTH
No Major Carter. It is mine. We share
much of our thought, in this way we
are connected even with our replicator
brethren. But this corner of my mind
is mine alone. It is the only place
we could communicate without the others
knowing what is said.
CARTER
You’re not like them.
FIFTH
I’m a mistake.
CARTER
No they are. A terrible mistake. Help
us.
FIFTH
I can’t.
CARTER
You can. Because you’re more like us
than you’re like them. The others inherited
the same flaw that Reese had. But you...
FIFTH
The others would destroy me.
CARTER
Not if you came with us.
FIFTH
You would do that?
CARTER
If you were to come with us and the
time dilation device was reset with
the new interface we brought with us.
FIFTH
They are my brothers and sisters.
CARTER
The Asgard device was never designed
to destroy the replicators. For them
it would seem as if a few days had passed.
We’d have hundreds of years to solve
their flaw.
FIFTH
What do you want me to do?
STRUCTURE
Sam wakes up. She goes to the others.
CARTER
Sir. Sir.
O’ NEILL
Oh, that’s just not right. Jonas and
Teal’c?
CARTER
Sir, there’s a way out of this but we’re
gonna have to trust...
TEAL’C
Major Carter.
Fifth is working on the time dilation device.
FIFTH
I have made the necessary adjustments.
JONAS
To what?
FIFTH
The time dilation device. I’m coming
with you.
O’NEILL
I assume this was what you were gonna
tell me?
CARTER
Yes sir.
FIFTH
The others are merging with our brethren
sharing what they have learned from
you but they will return soon. I have
reconfigured the device but you must
enter your command code.
O’NEILL
Go.
Sam goes to the device.
O’NEILL
You guys head back to the ship. Don’t
fire up the engines but be ready.
Teal’c and Jonas leave.
CARTER
My code is in Sir, I just need to set
the timer. It’ll take at least two minutes
at a dead run for us to get to the ship
and two more for the engines to fire
up.
FIFTH
That is far too long. If I leave the
others will know. They will return before
the device activates.
O’NEILL
Then we set it off now.
FIFTH
No. We will be trapped with the others.
CARTER
You can probably make it to the ship
at lot faster than we can, right?
FIFTH
Oh yes, in a fraction of the time.
CARTER
Give us a head start. If you arrive
at the ship just before we launch, your
absence won’t alert the others until
it’s too late for them to do anything
about it.
O’NEILL
So set the timer for five minutes.
Jack signals to Sam to make it three minutes.
CARTER
It’s cutting it awfully close Sir.
O’NEILL
I know that Major.
Sam turns to Fifth.
CARTER
Thank you.
FIFTH
You won’t leave without me?
CARTER
No. Head for the ship in a little over
three minutes.
Sam enters the time.
CARTER
Three, two, one. Mark. Timer’s running.
Jack and Sam leave.
X303 BRIDGE.
Jonas and Teal’c enter. They start to switch things on.
STRUCTURE
Fifth waits.
PLANET
Jack and Sam run towards the X303.
X303 BRIDGE
O’NEILL
Fire up those engines. (over radio)
TEAL’C
Understood O’Neill.
STRUCTURE
Fifth starts to leave. First enters.
FIRST
What have you done?
FIFTH
Nothing.
FIRST
Where are the humans?
FIFTH
They’ve returned to their ship to rest.
FIRST
They’re trying to escape.
FIFTH
No.
FIRST
Even as we speak, they’re preparing
to leave.
FIFTH
She promised.
FIRST
It’s not too late. I can read your mind.
There’s time enough to stop the machine.
FIFTH
No.
X303
Jack and Sam reach the bridge.
O’NEILL
How long?
CARTER
Twenty seconds before the device activates.
O’NEILL
Get this thing in the air or we’re gonna
be here a long time.
Teal’c hits a button and they lift off.
STRUCTURE
FIRST
They’re escaping.
FIFTH
There’s still two minutes left.
FIRST
No, my son. They made a fool of you.
FIFTH
They won’t leave me. She promised.
He turns to the time and flicks it up. There are only three seconds
left.
FIFTH
She promised.
Replicators and people converge on Fifth and suddenly stop. Time
has slowed down.
SPACE
The X303 flies off.
X303 BRIDGE
TEAL’C
We are beyond the time dilation field.
CARTER
Thor sends his congratulations Sir.
They’ll rendezvous with us as soon as
they’ve determined no Replicator vessels
escaped.
O’NEILL
Fine.
JONAS
You do realise what you did?
O’NEILL
The right thing, Jonas.
JONAS
You used his humanity against him.
O’NEILL
His what?
CARTER
Jonas is right. It’s exactly what we
did.
O’NEILL
He wasn’t human. Get that through your
heads.
CARTER
He could have fooled me.
O’NEILL
We all know what would have happened
if those things had gotten out. Who’s
gonna stop them? We did the right thing.
JONAS
I hope you’re right Sir.
CARTER
So do I.
TEMPLE
We close in on Fifth’s frozen face and the rest of the frozen
replicators.
