"The System Lords are no longer." "You have become a meaningless coalition that cannot resist the power of my master, Lord Baal." "Your master has no honour." "The System Lords have not weakened in their resolve." "The Jaffa are weak willed and fallible." "Is it any wonder they've begun to doubt their faith in their Gods." "So many Goa'uld have fallen." "Baal was wise to send a representative." "I would have killed him with my own hands!" "Despite your ill will, Lord Baal wishes to extend a most generous offer." "In exchange for your surrender," "Baal will allow you to keep your armies and continue to administer your territories, under his authority." "You will be permitted to live, so long as you bow before him as a Supreme Commander of the entire Goa'uld domain." "Refusal to accept the terms of this offer, will result in the resumption of hostilities and ultimately, more death." "Bring her." "What is the meaning of this?" "I should ask you the same thing." "Major Samantha Carter." "Replicator Actually, I'm a Colonel now." "Her cargo ship was intercepted by my sentries, when it violated the proximity zone around this station." "I am well aware of your past relationship with SG1 and the Tauri." "Would you have me believe that her sudden appearance here, is nothing more than mere coincidence?" "What are you doing here?"

"If that were the case, Rak'nor would have sent word." "If he were able to do so." "Maybe we should reconsider the mission." "This is not an SGC mission." "Reconsidering is not an option." "Look, I know the timing of these first few surprise attacks is crucial, but..." "And we're just here as observers, but right now," "I'm observing the fact that if you take on one of Amateratsu's motherships without proper backup, you could get yourselves killed." "Us observers, too." "Many such attacks have been co-ordinated simultaneously across the galaxy." "Each one designed to create a strategic weakness in the forces of the System Lords." "And if even one fails, I know!" "The rebel Jaffa have gone to great lengths to aquire the security codes currently being used by the System Lords." "If all goes according to plan, they will believe we are allies, and lower the shields." "If all goes according to plan." "Once the shields are lowered, the Jaffa contingent aboard this vessel, should be sufficient to overwhelm any initial resistance we may encounter." "We have allies within the ranks of Amateratsu's Jaffa, who will also help facilitate our attacks." "Once the others witness the death of their false God, they will realise the truth and join our ranks." "Isn't the fact that we haven't heard from Rak'nor, kind of a bad sign?" "What is it?" "Ships sensors have detected a vessel, closing in on our position." "Hat'ak class." "Rak'nor?" "Unlikely." "Rak'nor would have hailed long before his approach." "Then it has to be Amateratsu." "Shouldn't we get out of here?" "Teal'c, the odds are not in our favour." "They never are, Daniel Jackson." "I am hailing them and transmitting the security codes." "They fired on us." "Shield strength is down 60%." "How is that possible?" "What the hell did they hit us with?" "Returning fire." "Our weapons are ineffective." "We have lost shields." "Now can we get outta here?" "Navigational controls are not responding." "We must evacuate!" "Glider bay?" "We can use the rings, to transport to the planet below" "What is it?" "That's not good" "This way" "Daniel!" "Colonel Carter" "Jacob!" "Jack, we gotta problem." "We need to talk." "Hi!" "Hello." "How are ya?" "Long time, no see." "What's doing?" "What's up?" "Hey buddy?" "I'm sorry Jack, it's good to see you again." "Congratulations on your promotion." "Thanks" "You deserve it." "Yes, well...." "What's up?" "The Replicators." "They've launched an all out attack on the Goa'uld." "If the Goa'uld can't find a way to stop them, the Replicators will easily overrun our galaxy, in a matter of weeks." "Why didn't you say so?" "I'm sorry!" "You said we had a problem, not a big galactic emergency!" "Our operatives have spent the past several years, taking as many Goa'uld ships as possible, in an effort to track their movements." "Today, we have beacons on more than a hundred motherships, transmitting their location via subspace, to an encoded Tokra network." "And this?" "It's a receiver that will allow me to tap into the subspace network." "We can keep tabs on Baal's fleet." "See how their battle with the Replicators is faring." "We can also get up to the minute," "Tokra intelligence reports from our agents in the field." "You know, we could have used something like this, a long time ago." "The High Council never thought they could trust you with it." "What changed their mind?" "Nothing." "They don't know I took it." "Ah!" "My relationship with the council, is still a little strained." "It's not going to get any better if you keep stealing stuff." "No complaints, I'll take anything I can get." "Weapons, receivers, silverware." "Each dot represents a Goa'uld ship." "That's a lot of dots." "That's just one small quadrant of the galaxy." "Watch." "What just happened?" "The beacon stopped transmitting their signals." "Likely meaning, those ships were either destroyed or taken over by the Replicators." "Battles like the one you just witnessed, are taking place across the galaxy." "Several Goa'uld territories are now entirely in Replicator hands." "As I said, given the progress of these battles, the Goa'uld will be wiped out in a matter of weeks." "You know, I have to admit I have some mixed feelings about this." "Well we all want to see the Goa'uld stranglehold on the galaxy broken, but not if they're just going to be replaced by something worse." "Unscheduled Offworld Activation!" "Dad!" "Hey kiddo!" "So, what the hell happened?" "Didn't you guys have a ship?" "And by the way?" "Where's Daniel?" "He was beamed away before our very eyes." "By Replicators." "Just Daniel?" "There's only one reason I can think of." "My duplicate." "She knows the greatest threat the Replicators have ever known, is the disruptor technology that you built using Ancient knowledge." "So?" "She's immune to that now." "Yes, but Replicators always seek out the most advanced technology." "She may be worried that there's other Ancient technology out there that could be a threat to her and the rest of the Replicators." "Daniel Jackson had access to the knowledge of the Ancients, when he was ascended." "I thought he didn't retain those memories?" "We don't know that for sure." "Daniel has remembered certain things from when he was ascended." "She may think that everything she needs to know about the Ancients, is buried in his subconscious." "If it is, she'll find it." "Oy!" "The Tokra have operatives in Baal's inner circle, including one of his high ranking lieutenants." "According to the latest intelligence, the ranks of the Jaffa rebellion, are repledging their loyalty to the Goa'uld, by the thousands." "But the Goa'uld are losing the war." "Yeah, you'd think that'd make them look weaker." "The Jaffa have never seen the likes of such creatures." "Many could see these Replicators, as a plague." "An evil punishment brought upon all, for daring to stray in their beliefs and betray their Gods." "This situation has deal't the Jaffa rebellion a serious blow." "Even if we were to somehow defeat the Replicators, the Goa'uld would undoubtedly take credit, thereby solidifying Jaffa loyalty, as well as their belief in the Goa'uld as Gods." "I think the key phrase in there was, somehow defeat the Replicators?" "We haven't had much luck, sir." "The inert Replicator cells, left behind by my duplicate, haven't given us any clues as to how to fight the immunity she's developed." "As far as I know, Thor hasn't made much progress in modifying the disruptor technology, either." "Well, let him know what's going on, and don't be afraid to remind him that we've saved his cute, little grey bum, several times." "Years of effort, all but undone in a matter of day's." "It will now be almost impossible to turn so many of our brothers back to our cause." "Perhaps." "Yet there may be a way." "Even if we can, I wonder, will it make a difference?" "These machines are unlike anything I've seen." "We must proceed in the belief that Colonel Carter and Thor will devise a means to destroy the Replicators." "How then can we prevent the Goa'uld from taking credit, and solidifying their positions as Gods, in the eyes of all Jaffa?" "We must act now, before this conflict is resolved." "Win back the hearts and minds of those who waver, before they are lost to us." "We must, once and for all, destroy the Goa'ulds image as Gods, forever." "How?" "By capturing the temple at Dakara." "Everything we have fought for, hangs in the balance." "But Dakara?" "Capture it, and never again, will a Jaffa worship a false God." "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you, but..." "I'm only going to say this once, Carter." "What happened to Daniel, was not your fault." "She knows he may hold key Ancient knowledge, because of me." "She's out there because of me." "I basically gave her the means to counter the only effective weapon we have against her." "I also gave you permission to work with her." "It's not going to change anything." "Unless you're suggesting we use that time machine, to go back and fix it." "No sir." "We all agreed we would never do that." "For all we know, it could just make things worse." "Sir, we're receiving a message from Thor." "He said he's ready to transport..." "You were saying?" "Never mind." "Hello again, Samantha Carter." "Hi Thor." "I have already transported your research and the remains of the human form Replicator, to this lab." "We may continue our work from here." "Any progress on your end?" "I have yet to isolate the cypher, the human form Replicator introduced, to render the Destructor inneffective." "Well, given the situation," "I think it's time to take more drastic steps." "You are suggesting an attempt to trigger a subspace connection to the remains of the arm and the rest of the Replicator, so that we may search for the cypher among their communications data." "Too wild and crazy?" "In order to do that, we must reactivate the cells." "I know" "What makes this place so special?" "The temple at Dakara, is sacred to all Jaffa." "It is rich in historical significance." "Legend tells, it is the place where Anubis rose from the dead." "It is also the site of the first Prim'ta ritual." "It is that rite of passage that has bonded us in servitude, ever since." "For thousands of years the Jaffa have viewed Dakara as the holiest of sites." "The very cradle of our existence." "It is the place where the Goa'uld first gave the Jaffa their strength and longevity." "And you really think this place is going to make a difference?" "Seizing control of the temple there, would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, the Goa'uld do not possess the power of the Gods." "Even the most stubborn Jaffa, would have to question his loyalty to the Goa'uld." "There has to be a catch, or you guys would have done this a long time ago." "Dakara is deep within Baal's territory, and under normal circumstances it is heavily guarded." "However, with Baal's forces deployed throughout the galaxy, battling the Replicators, the temple is more vunerable now, than it has ever been." "Still, our success depends on the element of surprise and the use of the entire rebel fleet." "Listen to me O'Neill." "This war must be fought on two fronts." "We will re-ignite the uprising and conquer our oppressors, while you find the means to stop these Replicators." "Let us each fight the enemy we know best." "Hello Daniel." "What the hell do you want?" "You have information that I need." "Ok, what do you wanna know?" "Replicator I'm afraid it's not that simple." "Oh no, it is that simple." "If it's all the same to you," "I'd rather not do the hand on the head thing." "Honestly, I'll tell you whatever you wanna know." "Honesty is not the problem." "Unfortunately, to get what I need, we're going to have to dig a little deeper." "Shall we begin?" "What you are proposing is madness." "Dakara cannot be taken." "Torak, you have not spoken" "Aaron's right." "We would be sacrificing countless men and ships on a fruitless mission." "We should be concentrating on the greater threat, the Replicators, before they destroy us all." "Jaffa, hear me!" "I have engaged the Replicators in battle, many times." "Believe me when I say, they cannot be defeated by conventional means." "You have faced them in the past and won." "Indeed." "Yet never in such numbers." "Those of you who choose to engage the Replicators in battle, will not survive." "Teal'c is right." "We must fight only those battles we know we can win." "Yet you propose an equally impossible task." "With Baal otherwise occupied, now is the time to strike." "No free Jaffa has ever set foot in the temple and lived." "Well that is precisely why we must go there." "If we succeed, many will join our cause." "If we succeed." "Were the circumstances different, I would feel the same as you, brother." "But the situation has changed." "We must act now, or our children will know no future, let alone a taste of freedom." "Teal'c, I believe there is wisdom in these words." "However, you are aware, that if we fail, it would effectively mean the end of the rebellion." "Are you prepared to risk our entire cause on this one action?" "Indeed I am." "So!" "What say you?" "I say we take Dakara." "So be it." "Five more regions belonging to Baal, have fallen in the past 24 hours." "He's not putting up much of a fight, is he?" "He's making a typical Goa'uld mistake." "He's defending territory at the expense of resources." "We can send him a message, through the undercover Tokra in his midst." "We could suggest a change in strategy." "Like what?" "Typically, the Replicators are patient and slow moving, when not being engaged." "If Baal stops aggressively fighting them, and pulls back, it may give Sam more time to come up with a solution." "Forget that!" "Look, there goes another one." "Jack, he's thinking like a System Lord, defending himself against another Goa'uld." "He doesn't know what he's dealing with." "And if he retreats, where do you think he's gonna fall back to?" "You're worried about Teal'c and the rebel Jaffa." "They're counting on Baal's fleet being too busy to even care about anything else." "The Jaffa rebellion has already failed." "We can't risk the fate of the galaxy, on one longshot chance to revive it." "Is that Jacob talking?" "Or is that Selmak?" "Jack, I'm sorry." "But the more ships Baal sends out to fight, the faster the Replicators assimilate them into their own armada." "Their numbers are growing exponentially." "If we don't do something about it, by the time we do come up with a weapon to use against them, it may be to late." "Unscheduled Offworld Activation!" "Now what have you got Walter?" "Some kind of..." "Stand down boys!" "Baal, buddy." "We were just talking about you." "All good." "By now, you are aware of the Replicator threat in our galaxy, and that our fleet has engaged them in battle." "There's been a little chit...and chat, around the water cooler." "How's that going?" "We're holding them at bay, for the moment." "However, they are a more formidable force than I first anticipated." "Yeah, pesky little buggers aren't they?" "I am aware that the Asgard have previously fought the Replicators, effectively." "More or less." "I don't like to toot my own horn, but..." "I am aware that you assisted the Asgard." "Yes?" "I wish to know what means you possess to fight this scourge." "I'm sorry, we must have had a bad connection there for a second." "It almost sounded like you were asking me for help." "The Replicators are a threat to everyone, including the countless humans who populate worlds throughout this galaxy." "Now I propose that we work together, to defeat our common enemy." "My, this is an occasion." "You know that bitter taste in your throat?" "It's kind of wrapped around your uvula?" "That's what's left of your pride." "Perhaps you could curb your amusement for a moment." "If we're going to work together, the first thing we should discuss, is strategy." "Now your attempts at meeting the Replicators head on, are only going to result..." "Jacob, Jacob, Jacob." "I got it." "I've got a better idea." "Instead of helping you, why don't we sit back and watch you get your assed kicked." "That way, you'll be dead and we'll be glad." "You cannot be serious." "Yes I can." "I just choose not to, some of the time." "With your insults, you doom not just your world, but all of humanity." "I think big." "What the hell was that?" "I'm sorry Jacob, but I'm just not quite ready to sacrifice Teal'c." "The process is complete." "Now we must re-establish the subspace link between these cells and the rest of the Replicators." "What if they receive instructions?" "It is a risk we will have to take." "I will only maintain the link for microseconds, at a time." "It will slow the process, but I do not believe we have a choice." "What did we get?" "I am processing the data, now." "I believe we have pinpointed the location of the Replicators, within this galaxy." "They're everywhere." "We are approaching Dakara." "Defences." "I am reading only a single Hat'ak vessel in orbit around the planet." "Baal must indeed be desperate." "There are normally a dozen ships patrolling this system." "Then we may yet succeed." "We are in position." "Gliders are ready for launch." "We are being hailed." "You have encroached on the domain of Lord Baal." "Identify yourselves immediately." "Shal'kek nem'ron." "You are greatly outnumbered." "Surrender now or be destroyed." "They called you Arrum, did they not?" "After you returned to your plane of existence." "Oma" "Daniel, it is good to see you again." "I don't understand." "Last thing I remember..." "You are still on the ship." "The human form Replicator is attempting to probe your mind, as we speak." "So why are you here?" "Because, when she is done, she will destroy you." "And when that time comes, you will be faced with a choice." "I've received word from the battle." "The bulk of the fleet continues to engage the Replicators, as you have ordered." "However, I believe it would be wise to pull our forces back." "If we stop confronting the enemy on so wide a front, it may slow their advance, and allow us a chance to mount a proper defence." "You doubt my power?" "Of course not." "But your fleet is falling into their hands, rapidly." "Not even the Kull Warriors..." "Do not concern yourself." "When the time is right, I promise you, this nuisance will be deal't with." "Trust in me." "As always." "It took several hundred micro-second long connections, and hours to go through each subsequent burst of data, but eventually we managed to isolate the cypher, that makes the Replicators immune to the disruptor, and we've adjusted it accordingly." "The weapon works again." "Good job!" "It was an incredibly risky thing to do sir." "As it stands, we still don't know if we were detected." "And of course the altered destructor still needs to be tested under battle conditions." "Got a plan?" "Thor was able to ascertain the various positions of the fleet now controlled by the Replicators." "We're going to engage a few isolated ships." "Be careful Sam." "Good luck!" "Thankyou sir" "Never a dull moment." "So you're here to offer me the opportunity to ascend again." "If that is what you wish." "I wish?" "What are my options?" "Personally, I would choose eternal enlightenment, rather than the alternative." "If it were only that simple." "I admit the decision is not as easy as it appears." "The last time, for you, the experience was challenging at the best of times." "Unfortunately I don't have any memory of the last time I was ascended." "How can I make an informed decision, if I don't remember what it was like?" "Daniel, I did not take your memories from you." "You think I haven't tried to remember?" "Tell me how." "I can't." "Then tell me what I need to know." "If you are seeking an absolute truth, you will not find it." "Only truth that applies to you." "That is so extremely unhelpful." "When the time comes, you will know." "What if Replicator Carter finds what it is she's looking for?" "There is that possibility." "You have to stop her." "I can't." "Why not?" "Offer me ascension now." "You're not dead yet." "All I can do is prepare you." "Help you to find your path to enlightenment, when that time comes, if that is what you decide you want." "There's a way to defeat the Replicators, hidden somewhere within my memories, isn't there?" "You need only to open your mind to it." "Brothers!" "All of you will be detained." "Have patience, for all of you who renounce the Goa'uld as false Gods, will one day be free." "Take them." "Go." "You will not be harmed." "The last of the garrison have surrendered." "The temple is secure." "Many lives were spared today." "Well done!" "Firing weapon." "The ships systems have shut down." "Well that worked well." "The weapon appears to be effective." "Another ship." "They are firing on us." "Targeting the second ship." "It's still coming." "They have adapted themselves to our modifications." "That was fast." "Yes." "Initiating evasive action." "Excuse the intrusion." "I will return." "Stay" "Speak" "A force of rebel Jaffa have managed to take control of the temple at Dakara." "As I hoped." "They have no doubt gathered their full force, and presented us with the perfect opportunity to annihilate them, once and for all." "Have the fleet disengage their battle with the Replicators and move on Dakara." "Take it back at all cost." "Leave no survivors." "As you wish." "You control the barrier between your consciousness and what you seek." "You merely need to open your mind." "The truth is, all knowledge, everything that is and was and will be, is everywhere." "Out there and in all of us." "If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago." "Yes." "No." "You're trying to understand it, aren't you?" "It means what you want it to mean." "No it doesn't, and you're not Oma." "No I'm not, but it doesn't matter." "Thanks to you I've found what I was looking for." "We are approaching Earth." "We will be there shortly." "What's wrong?" "Several of my key systems, are no longer responding." "We have been boarded." "See if you can modify the disruptor wave again." "I'll go buy us some time." "I have no way of knowing how many Replicators you will face." "Well, what choice do we have?" "I must return you to Stargate Command, before my transporter systems are affected." "And what about you?" "I will attempt to fly this ship, as far away from Earth as possible." "Before it is completely compromised." "No way, I'm not gonna let you.... ....sacrifice yourself." "Damnit!" "Carter?" "The weapon worked at first, but the Replicators immediately adapted themselves." "They're immune again." "No chance you guys could fix this thing, get it to work?" "Sir, Thor's ship was boarded." "He beamed me down here before all his systems were compromised." "He's trying to get his ship as far away from Earth, as possible." "I'll take that as a no." "Never in my dreams could I have imagined that" "I would one day stand beneath these great columns." "Think of it." "This is the very spot in which our enslavement began." "Then this sacred temple is an appropriate place for our enslavement to end." "We have won a great victory here today, old friend." "We have won a battle Teal'c, nothing more." "Our victory is far from assured." "Many of Baal's Jaffa have already pledged their allegiance to our cause." "When word spreads of what we have accomplished, many more will follow." "And their hearts will turn cold again if they hear our accomplishment lasted mere hours." "Torak!" "What news?" "We have received word." "Baal has broken off his battle with the Replicators." "He is coming." "As we expected." "You see?" "Taking the temple was not our greatest challenge." "Holding it, will be." "This Oma character." "Why do you have such reverence for her?" "These ridiculous sayings, are just nonsense." "To you maybe." "If she really has as much power as you think she does, why doesn't she help you?" "She merely stands by and does nothing." "Do you mean, while you destroy entire civilizations?" "That's a matter of perspective." "You call it destruction." "We call it creation." "You're not really trying to justify your actions, are you?" "No." "I have no need for you to understand us." "Why the elaborate ruse." "I mean, you probed my mind at will, I obviously can't stop you." "You could have resisted." "I needed you to open up to the possibility of remembering the knowledge in your subconscious." "You made it much easier for me to find what I was looking for." "And what did you find?" "Pretty." "What is it?" "Replicator The ruins of an Ancient monument, on a planet now called Dakara." "Within it is the one weapon in this galaxy, capable of destroying me." "Thanks to you, it will soon be no more." "I'm sure he'll be here any second now." "So um...." "I am so sorry!" "I was just finishing up a lovely brunch." "Impudence." "No, tuna." "So, I hear your fleet is fleeing from the Replicators." "How could you know that?" "I have my sources." "My fleet is on it's way to recapture Dakara, and destroy the Jaffa who have dishonoured their true God." "Will you stop with the true God crap?" "I mean seriously, what difference does it make." "You're just delaying the inevitable." "The Replicators are a formidable enemy, but I've recently learned of a weapon hidden on Dakara, capable of destroying them." "Really?" "And you're telling me this, why?" "Because you must destroy it, before my fleet arrives to claim it." "Alright, you got me." "I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about." "The weapon on Dakara was built by the Ancients." "It is not only capable of destroying the Replicators, but all life in the galaxy." "And, your own sweet self included." "Yes." "So why would you use it?" "I would not, but there is one who would." "One who can survive such pervasive devastation." "Oh, please don't tell me." "Anubis." "I asked you not to tell me."
