We're getting a good look at your fair city even as we approach. 25 00:01:40,780 --> 00:01:42,180 Feel free to take a moment, 26 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,750 but Stargate Command wants you to get started on your mission 27 00:01:44,850 --> 00:01:48,310 as soon as you've off-loaded our supplies. Weir out. 28 00:01:51,860 --> 00:01:54,560 - What's wrong? - Oh, nothing. 29 00:01:54,660 --> 00:01:56,960 I guess I just wish my first trip to Atlantis 30 00:01:57,060 --> 00:02:00,120 wasn't under such desperate circumstances. 31 00:02:00,230 --> 00:02:01,860 MITCHELL: It's just another mission, Jackson. 32 00:02:01,970 --> 00:02:04,870 One upon which the fate of the entire galaxy hangs in the balance. 33 00:02:04,970 --> 00:02:07,270 And he goes on those all the time. 34 00:02:07,370 --> 00:02:08,900 CARTER: Vala's not wrong. 35 00:02:09,010 --> 00:02:12,000 If we don't succeed, and the Ori manage to get more ships through that supergate... 36 00:02:12,110 --> 00:02:15,240 Well, like the lady said, let's all just take a moment. 37 00:02:20,650 --> 00:02:23,750 Okay, moment's over. Let's go save the galaxy. 38 00:03:45,070 --> 00:03:48,040 CARTER: The Ori supergate has been inactive since they sent their first wave, 39 00:03:48,140 --> 00:03:49,170 but it's been reported 40 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,640 that the Priors are promising reinforcements for their armies, 41 00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:54,110 which are on their way and should be here soon. 42 00:03:54,210 --> 00:03:56,110 Now, we can only assume that that means more ships, 43 00:03:56,220 --> 00:03:58,620 and these four are already more than we can handle. 44 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,280 - We have to act now. - Well, why don't you try dialing out? 45 00:04:01,390 --> 00:04:03,120 I mean, if it's powered by a black hole, 46 00:04:03,220 --> 00:04:05,660 you should be able to keep the thing up and running almost indefinitely. 47 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,890 I'm sure they thought of that before they came all this way, Rodney. 48 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,490 CARTER: It was what we were attempting to do when the Ori fleet first came through. 49 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,800 Now, the Asgard have since tried again, but for some reason they can't dial out. 50 00:04:15,900 --> 00:04:19,070 - But you might be able to dial in? - Well, that's the problem. 51 00:04:19,170 --> 00:04:22,200 It was designed to dial in from another galaxy. 52 00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:24,110 Like one of the stargates in the Pegasus? 53 00:04:24,210 --> 00:04:27,510 No, no, no. The diameter of a stargate is not arbitrary. 54 00:04:27,610 --> 00:04:29,640 There is a specific correlation between the energy required 55 00:04:29,750 --> 00:04:32,580 - to create a stable wormhole... - And the size of the gate. I know that. 56 00:04:32,690 --> 00:04:34,880 And it's exponentially proportional to size, 57 00:04:34,990 --> 00:04:38,360 which means the energy required to create a connection with a supergate 58 00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:40,860 would far exceed that of an ordinary gate. 59 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,930 It'd be like putting together a Saint Bernard and a Chihuahua. 60 00:04:44,030 --> 00:04:47,190 And the problem with that would be... 61 00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:49,200 Well, obviously it's a question of... 62 00:04:52,270 --> 00:04:56,110 Oh, I see. You're mocking me, aren't you? 63 00:04:56,210 --> 00:04:59,540 What?
