"The X-302 will be the first human built spacecraft capable of intersteller travel." "Colonel Chekov feels a Russian officer ... should be assigned to join SG-1." "Over my rotting corpse, Sir." " I want to join you." " I just don't see it happening." "We detected an energy buildup within the gate." "The Tauri are in danger   they are under attack from Anubis." "We're talking about a blast 2,000 to 3,000 megatons." " There's worse?" " We have no idea how to stop it." "If the X-302 fails, this planet will be destroyed." "Even if we do manage to contact the Asguard, there's a chance they won't be able to help us." "Anubis has grown powerful but still, only defends a very small handfull of planets." "If one of those stargates also can not be contacted ..." "It is most likely, the origin of the attack." "Mission command, we missed the window." "We thought we'd compensated for the energy fluctuations... .. emitted by the Naquadria, but apparently not." "Bottom line is, we're on our own." "PREPARE TO MEET YOUR DOOM!" "Oh, please." "And now ... the conclusion ..." "He has a real FLAIR for the dramatic, doesn't he?" "Very theatrical." "Yeah." "Pretty much all the Goa'Uld are like that." "But, why wait?" "Why does this guy show up a day... ..and a half after this all starts to do his whole." ""Prepare to meet your doom" thing?" "I don't know." "Maybe he wanted to make sure it was gonna work." "Yeah, that WOULD be embarrasing, wouldn't it?" ""Nothing can stop the destruction That I bring upon you!"" "Then the gate shuts down." "Oops, sorry." "Nevermind ..." "Yeah, well, that didn't happen, and we only have ... 54 hours left." "Major, can I see you for a second?" "When the gate was connected to the black hole, a shaped charge" "..was used to disengage the wormhole." " Yes, but that was an outgoing wormhole." " True, but..." "The blast would detinate the gate." "Wait a minute ..." " If you'd just let me FINISH!" " No, you're both horribly wrong, both of you, but you gave me an idea." "We know that certain waves can travel in both directions thru a wormhole   radio signals for one." "So, what?" "We call Anubis up, ask him to stop?" "Yeah,"Hey, Anubis, this is you agent, you're playing it" ".. way over the top, can you get serious, please?"" " You were saying ... ?" " We send a massive EM pulse ... ..back thru the wormhole, knock out whatever it is that's making... .. this happen on the other end." "Will that work?" "No, Sir." "I already thought of it, and the reason I didn't mention it, .... ..is because it would be too problematic." " More so than the gate exploding?" " The Iris would have to be opened." " Well, the gateroom's shielded, isn't it?" "Major, are you saying that this absolutely won't work?" "What I'm saying is that we have no idea how much EM ... .. would be required to knock this thing out.." "So, let's all just go home." " How long will it take to set up?" " Four hours ,tops." "That's how long you have to come up with a better idea." "REDEMPTION PART 2" "I have tried to connect to this world twice now." "It is the only one I can not make contact with." "Than we must hope that is the location of the weapon." "I'm coming with you." "If the Goa'Uld trully can be defeated, than I wish to be a part of it." "You said I could not judge this war if I am yet to fight a battle." "You've trained me." "Now let me fight." " You said you did not doubt me." " I do not. ." "Than I will join you." "Be quick!" "Very well." "Sirs... ..I've calculated that opening the iris will increase the flow of energy . ... ..to the gate by at least 10 times." "Now, if this doesn't work, we'll be cutting as much as half... .. the remaining time before the gate detonates." "No ... better idea yet?" "No" "Major, I know you and Dr. McKay don't see eye to eye, ..." " Sir, this has nothing to do..." " I believe if this plan has any.." "...chance of working, it's with your cooperation." "Yes, sir." "I know what I'm doing." "We are aproaching the planet." "It is heavily guarded." "That is a good sign that we have the correct location of the weapon." "There are rings on the surface." "We must hope to catch any Jaffa on the ground by surprise." "Right here." "You just want to be able to take credit for it when it works." "For the record, I *HATE* you." "Well, can't get any worse, then,can it?" "Oh, no." "I'm rapidly working up to "Despise"." "You know, we're obviously gonna have to get over this.." ".. physical attraction thing if we're going to work together." "I think I can act as though it never existed." "Shall we save the world?" "Before I take the credit for this ... ..shouldn't the EM pulse generator be pointed *AT* the gate?" "You good!" "VERY good!" "Rya'c..." " You are to remain on board with Shaq'Rel." " Why?" "One day, you will be a great warrior." "This day, the danger is just too great." "I am prepared to die." "I am not prepared to let you die." " Two gliders in persuit." " How is that possible?" " Are we not cloaked?" "!" " Anubis must now have means.... ..of detecting cloaked ships." "I am decloaking, and diverting power to shields." "Entering range of service rings." "Teal'c." "Is it not equally as dangerous on this ship as it will be on the planet?" "Go!" "I will do my best to return for you." "Come." "Stay close to me." "The forces on the ground may have been alerted to our presence" "Chel'Nok." "Identify yourselves!" "We must MOVE!" "That's it!" "We're ready , Sir." "Close the blast doors." "Open the iris." "Energy transfer is increasing. .." "Seven times greater  eight ... 10" " Go!" "Yeah, Go!" " Do it." "Activating electromagnetic pulse." "Energy transfer is still increasing." "Look, if this was going to work ..." "Close the iris!" " We're offline!" " She's not gonna be happy when she wakes up, is she?" "Medical team to the control room!" "SHe IS gonna wake up, isn't she?" "The path is well traveled." "We must stay undercover." "Many gliders patrol the skies." "This wound is not small." " You must be in great pain." " Nothing I can not bear." "You could easily be dead." "I do not understand." "There was at least eight of them." "Ten." "How did either of you get hit?" "It is always more difficult to hit a moving target." "It is also helpfull to be lucky." "There is little time to waste." "Hi." "Oh, Man!" "I was just starting to feel better!" "Are you gonna be OK?" "At least until the gate explodes, yeah." "Look, I ne ..." "I never meant for anyone to get hurt ... muchless you." "It's OK." "We had to try something." "I always wanted to be a pianist." " Excuse me?" " A concert pianist... .. you know, a guy who plays the piano in front of lots of people?" "Right" " What did you think I said?" " Never mind." "I had a not-so- comfortable childhood." "My Parents hated each other, blamed me." "Music was my salvation." "It had this ... perfect order for me." "That's nice, really." "When I was 12, my teacher told me to quit." "A fine clinical player, he said," "..but no sence of the art whatsoever." "Why are you telling me this?" "I'm just ... trying to bond." "Why?" "Hospital gowns turn me on." "I turned to science because I thought it would be different than music, but It isn't." "It's just the same," "..it's just as much of an art as anything else." "Look, it's not your fault that the EM pulse didn't work." "You're an artist, Major." "Maybe the best I've ever seen." "I'm just critical because I'm jealous." "I'm touched, really." "I wish I had a brillien plan to draw up for you." "And you're funny, too." "Even electricuted." "I mean, I've ..." "I've got nothing." "You're creeping me out, McKay." "It's just self presorvation, see?" "I'm realizing that I won't be able to solve this," "..and that one of your insane idea will be our best chance." "How much time until detonation?" "You were right, we cut it almost in half." "25 hours" "What now?" "Well, first, I thought I'd get dressed." "Right" "Leave." "Right." "Do you want me to ... hold anything, or ..." "This weapon is unlike any Goa'Uld design I have ever seen." "I have seen simular a construction before." "It appears to have been built by the Antients ..." " Who are they?" " An advanced race of beings who," ".. long ago, created the stargates" " But I thought the ..." " The Goa'Uld steal the technology" " ..and claim it as their own." " If this is not Goa'Uld technology," "..then Anubis has mearly learned to operate it , then ..." "Perhaps by destroying it, he will not be able to rebuilt it quickly." "But do we have sufficient explosives?" " That does not concern you." "You are to remain here." " But, I ..." "You are injured." "You will slow our pace, and risk giving us away." "But my symbiote heals me." "I CAN go." "Ry'Ac, listen to him." "This is but one of many battles to be fought." "Remain here until sundown." "We will try to return before then" "If we encase the gate in trinium alloy, it could reduse... .. the effects of the explosion by as much as 40 %." "There isn't time for that plan!" "If we detonate the gate ourselves right now," "..we could reduce the eventual damage by as much as 20%." "The damage to the planet's atmosphere would still be irreversable." "Any survivors would be stuck on a world incapable... ..of surviving life as we know it." "What are you thinking?" "Besides the fact that these guys are morons?" "What do you think the little Alien guy's doing down there?" "I bet you regret coming her now." "Can't really look at it that way, can we?" "So ... what are you doing?" "You know, it's the stupidest thing, but it's been bugging me since I got here." "What's that?" "We're inside a mountain." "The obviously can't fit thru any of these doors ..." " So, how did we get it in here?" " Yeah" "The ceiling retracts.Above it is a shaft that leads to the surface, and inside is a crane meconism that hoistered the gate down." " Interesting." " Yeah." "Does it go up?" "Moving the gate won't shut it off." "I mean there is nowhere on Earth that ..." "I knew you'd think of something." "This shield most likely extends around the paremiter of the weapon." "The Path ..." "Just hear me out, people." "All we need to do is get it far enough away from Earth." "Now, the X-302 can still achieve that without having to enter hyperspace." "See, now *THAT'S* crazy!" "We have less than 24 hours." "2 hours to get the gate to the surface," "..4 to get it to Peterson and loaded onto a C-17, and 2 more to fly it to Area 51." "A 747 meets us in Nevada , which leaves us 16 hours to get the" ".. whole rig mounted and airbourne ... ..and none of this is gonna happen if we're all just standing around here." "Now, I think that this is gonna save the planet, and ... we ARE gonna do it...." "*MOVE* , people!" "Well done, Major." "It wasn't all my idea, Sir, and I dare say it's not done yet." " Right" " Sir you do realize that if this works, we won't have a Stargate anymore ..." "It did occur to me." "Drop you weapons!" "Yeah, this is Sergent Cyler." "We're ready!" "Activate the crane." "I have been instructed by my superiors to offer the following compromise:" ".. In exchange for your continued cooperation," "..and full disclosure of the X-302 technology, we are willing to facuilitate the use of our stargate." " Facilitate?" " A financial arrangement to be negotiated." "You want us to Rent it?" "!" "A simplistic way of putting it." "The X-302 's hyperspace technology doesn't even work." "It will someday." "Obviously, the reason I am here is because my government is unwilling to.... ..encure the expence and risk in running a Stargate program such as this one." " We are simply trying.." " Here's the part you obviously... .. don't understand even if ... and I stress "IF" ... ..we are able to sucessfully dispose of THIS gate," "..there's nothing stopping Anubis from starting all over again with the second gate." "No one's going to be running a Stargate program, Colonel." "The second gate *HAS* to stay buried!" "What did you hope to accomplish here?" "Did you really think you could destroy something created by" "..a god as powerful as Anubis?" "He did not create the weapon, and he is NOT a god!" "Your god may have been weak, Shol'Va!" "Mine is not!" "If you know of me, than you know of our cause." "The Jaffa rebellion grows strong." "All Goa'Uld are false gods, and their only REAL power comes from the Jaffa whom they oppress!" "The next time that you open your mouth to speak," "..it will be to answer my questions...." "You did not kill all the Jaffa at the rings." "We know there are three of you." "Where's the boy?" "Evidence of how desperate your pathetic little rebellion is ..." "You bring a BOY to fight the war of MEN?" "Or is it something else?" "Maybe he is someone to whom you wish to prove yourself." "Bring me the old man." "Cover the boy so he will not escape." "Unlike you, he is of little importance to Anubis." "However, on your behalf," "I'll be sure to deminstrate to him how a real warrior fights  to the death!" "Is there anything else I should know?" "Well, there is concern that the 302 may not have the fuel capasity... ..to exit the atmosphere carrying the weight of the stargate." "How is that possible?" "The engines were designed for a craft ith a Alien Inersial dampening" "..system the effectiously reduced it's overall mass." "Yes, and?" " Well, you'll be carrying a very heavy load ." " How heavy?" "The gate ways 64,000 pounds, Sir." " That's heavy" " And you'll need to reach an altitude exceding 180 killometers ..." "At minimum escape vilosity before I release the gate," "..oor it'll fall back to Earth ..." "I know, I know." "Well, based on the X-302 's fuel burn capasity, even a full burn won't do it, which means the other engines wi hacve to get you part ways up," "..tranportando algo que pesa 6 times greater than it was designed to carry." " Yeah, Carter..." " Well, the whole rig isn't..." " .. exactly aerodynamic either. ." " Carter..." "Carter ..." "I'm sure I want to know any of this" "They're working on lightning the 302, but that's why you're going alone." "Believe it or not, every pound counts." "I shouldn't have had that cake" "I wish I could go with you Sir." "Yes, I'm sure you do." "And I find that quite bizarre." " Anything else?" " Well, Sir, if this works," " Jonas really deserves ...." " What?" "Deserves what?" "I don't know ... something." "He's the one who gave me the idea to do this." "Sir, he gave up everything to bring us the Naquadria." "The hyperspace generator doesn't work." "That's not his fault." "Good luck, Sir." "Hey, what could go wrong, huh?" "The prisoners will not speak." "Take them to the rings and have them transported up to the Hatak." "What exactly did you remove?" "Weapons, some life support ... don't worry," "..there's still more than a day's worth." "Well, if we need more than an hour, we're all in trouble" "Right." "We also took out RADAR," ".. some of the crash safety mechonisms, landing gear" " Excuse me?" " We had to in order to properly... .. accomidate the clamping system, so once you reenter the atmosphere, you're gonna have to eject." "That is after you target to spash down off the coast of Florida." "Just ... when were you gonna tell me this part?" "Just now." "We weren't sure any of this was gonna happen until 5 minutes ago." "You're not gonna believe this ..." "Holy Crap!" "They're waiting for you." "Good luck!" "They're airborne, Sir." "Mission Command, we're approaching seperation altitude." "Colonel, confirming altitude at 10,000 meters." "Yeah, Roger that." "This is mission command, you have a go for seperation, Starflight." "Proceeding with seperation." "Seperation complete." "Good luck, Sir." "Stop saying that." "Altitude reaching 30 kilometers." "Vilosity at ..." "MACH 6" "Engaging erospike engines." "Uh ... it's getting a little bumpy up here, Command" "Roger that, Starflight." "You're still too shallow to fire the rocket booster." "Alright, I may have been understating things   it feels like this thing's falling apart" "Altitude is 42 kilometers." "He needs to reach 50 before he can fire the main rocket engine." "Command, I've got a mater caution alarm." "Roger that, Starflight." " I'm losing power." " Starflight, your altitude only 48 kilometers ..." "Full port engine failure , Starboard at 60 %." "Preparing to ignite roccket booster." "You're still too low, Starflight." "I'm losing valosity, Command, I'm going to start losing altitude." "Command, please advise" "OK, Starflight." "Go with main engine burn." "Roger." "Vilosity is 25,000 kilometers per hour ... ..28  he's gotta reach 40, and sustain it for at least 15 seconds now." "Main engine burn at 100 %" "Velosity approaching 40,000 kilometers per hour" "Altitude at 120 kilometers." "Five, six, seven ..." "Preparing to release the gate, command." " Not yet, Starflight!" " I'm burning out here." "Alright, that's it!" "I'm outta gas." "Starflight, your altitude is 130 kilometers." "He's not gonna make it." "Vilosity is slowing rapidly, he had to fire the rocket booster too early." " It didn't work?" " He's going to fall back to Earth, Sir." "OK" "Got any idea?" "Anyone want to wish me luck?" "We're working on it." "Based on altitude, angle of ascent, and current vilosity," ".. he's gonna hit the coast of Europe in 35 minutes." "If he put the 302 in a nosedive, he could cut his descent time in half." " Why would we do that?" " So he could drop the gate in the Atlantic." "I'm thinking there's time for it to sink maybe 2 ... 3,000 feet." " Will that do any good?" " Enough to reduce the effects of the devistation." " By how much?" " Not much, Sir." "Enough that it's worth a shot, isn't it?" "Rya'c." "We believe we can reduce the extent of the damage by" "..dropping the gate into the ocean." "You're going to have to put the 302 into a nosedive and ..." " What?" " Starflight, that's all we've got." "What about the hyperdrive?" "Colonel, it didn't work." "We just don't know where it'll send me, right?" "Who cares ... as long as it's a galazy far, far away ..." "He's right!" "The window formed, it was just unstable" "Colonel, we don't know what would happen ... ..if we tried to open a hyperspace window within the atmosphere." "Yeah, well," ".. given the situation ..." "We're taking it under advisment." "Please stand by Starflight." "Major, I can make a call." " Do it, Sir." " You really are a certifiable lunitic!" "I know what I said about you being an artist, but I hadn't slept in 3 days," "..I mean this is deranged!" "You're talking about putting an interdemituinal field... .. around an already highly charged stargate with an unstable ... ..and a completely unpredictable burst of energy!" " I realize the..." " What I am suggesting has real tangeable benefits." "Maybe it saves a few lives." "If this works, we save the entire planet!" "What chance do we have of that?" "!" "Well, maybe we can reduce the risk a little." " How?" " Well, the instability of the Naquadria is   Is relative to the size of the burst you're trying to extract." "We don't actually have to send the gate across the galaxy, do we?" "Even a second in hyperspace potintually gets us million of miles!" "Make the call!" "This is General Hammond." "I need to speak with the President immediately!" "Altitude ... 76 kilometes" "..and still falling." "OK, we have orders, Starflight" " We're gonna try it your way." " Thank you." "Run me thru it." "Sir, we're gonna have to override the safety protocall ... .. that caused the X-302 to avoid the unstable wormhole." "We think we can greatly increase the chance of this working by... .. only activating the generator for one second." "Unfortunally, it wasn't programed to work for such a short period of time." "Hang on ..." "Right." "Of course." "Thank you." "Sir, we're gonna write a new subroutine." "It'll be ready to upload in a few minutes." "Allright, well, in the meantime, I'll just   keep falling." " Carter..." "We're done!" "Uploading the new program, Sir." "All you'll have to do now is activate the generator." "Roger that." "You won't have much time." " I know." " Sir, if this works ..." "I know!" " Sir.." " What?" "Good luck." "Acftivating Hyperspace generator." "Now" "This is observer one ..." "we have visual comfirmation ... ..the X- 302 has entered the hyperspace window." "Colonel?" "Coronel?" "Do you read?" "This is observer one ... ..there is NO sign of a chute." "There is, however, a light show going on up here." "It worked!" "Deeps space is estimating that the gate detonated over 3 million miles from earth." "This is observor 2 ... ..I have a visual on a chute ... ..moving in for comfirmation." "Mission command, the cockpit is intact!" "We are pinpointing splashdown position." "Patcing in satallite imagery." "Observor 2, pararescue team is on the way." "Roger that!" "Colonel O'Neill is conscoius, and waving!" " The gate has shut down." " Let us hope it is not too late." "Look" "Teal'c..." "Rya'c..." "Rya'c..." "So that's it?" "You're just giving up?" "Closing down shop?" "Well, at least until we find out a way to defend ourselves against this sort of thing, yeah." " It shouldn't take you long." " Yeah, right." " I thought you'd be happy." " Hey, I never said we shouldn't use the stargate." "Um ..." " Let me know if I could help." " I will, thanks." " That means you don't hate me" " Maybe ... .. too bad for you." "Why?" "I was more attracted to you when I did." "Really?" "Colonel ..." "I'm glad you're OK." " Thank you." "Sir." " You know, the President wants to see you in person?" "Yes, we spoke on my way here." "You can have any assignment you want." "Actually, I've always wanted to command my own boat." "For the Navy?" "Or something a little smaller ... with oars." "You deserve it, Jack." "You sure you want to take this with you, Sir?" "We're closed for business." "I was supposed to retire five years ago." "We don't know how long it's going to be before we can reestablish .... ..the Stargate Program, if ever." "Actually, I just meant, it says.." "..'Property of US Air Force ' on it." "Yeah, I still feel responsible for the teams stuck off-world." ".. but there's nothing we can d ..." "Hammond." "We're recieving a communication." "What's up?" "Go ahead." "They're all here." "General Hammond..." " Teal'c." " O'Neill." "O'Neill!" "It is good to hear you as well ..." "The weapon being used by Anubis has been destroyed," "..but we feared it was too late for the Tauri." "Yeah, it was close there for a minute." "We approach in a cargo ship ... request permission to land." "NORAD 's aware of their approach, Sir." "Permission granted!" "Welcome back, Teal'C!" "Good job!" "It is, in fact, Ry'Ac, who deserves the honour." "Sir, if you don't mind me asking ... ..what exactly did we give the Russians?" "Good 'ole American Dollars, Major." " You're kidding!" " And the plans for the X-302 and X-303." "Really?" "And one more thing..." "So I hear you're a pretty good pilot" "Master Bratac taught me well." "I hope to be good as my father one day." "Just know that no one is THAT good." "It also helps to be lucky." "Don't I know that!" "Listen, are you sure you don't wanna stick around for a little while, maybe hang out?" "Ry'Ac has chosen to help Bra'Tac spread the word of our cause." "Well, it's good to see you again." "Colonel..." "Colonel ... have you got a moment?" "Carter told me everything you did to help out." "We all apreciate it, thanks alot." " See you later." " Colonel  Dr. Jackson is gone." "Yeah, I noticed that." "Not a day goes by when I don't think about what happened." "I stood by and watched while he saved my people from disaster." "It should have been me who jumped thru the glass, disarmed the device," "..and he's gone because I didn't." "You have to live with that, so do I." "You want me to make you feel better?" "It wasn't your fault." " I don't blame you." " If I could go back and change... ..what happened, I would do that." "But I can't." "All I can do is try to change what happens from now on." "I don't want you to exonerate me." "I just want to be given the oppertunity ... ..to prove that I can make a difference." "You wanted to see me, Sir?" "I know this is not what you wanted to heard," ".. but part of the deal to get the Stargate from the Russians... .. involved agreeing to let one of their officers join SG-1." "This is the thanks I get for saving the world again?" "I'm sorry, Jack." "You're going to have to learn to live with this." "Sir, can't we just throw them a bone?" "Give them their own unit." "They'd be happy with that, wouldn't they?" "What about SG-1?" "Actually, General ... .. I've already chosen our new team member." "Good luck, Colonel!" "Thank you, Sir." "How do I look?" "Uh ... you might want to lose the helmet." " Good guess on the green.." " Thanks" "SG-1, you have a go." "Thank you, Sir." "Siberius Company" " Siberius DragonKing@seznam.cz"
