Minimal. 207 00:11:52,546 --> 00:11:54,983 Ready missiles. We're gonna throw everything we have at this guy. 208 00:11:55,007 --> 00:11:57,092 Sir, I'm reading a massive energy buildup. 209 00:12:04,725 --> 00:12:05,893 Brace for impact! 210 00:12:13,609 --> 00:12:15,235 (Alarms blaring) 211 00:12:15,319 --> 00:12:18,238 Shields are down. Heavy damage on all decks. 212 00:12:18,322 --> 00:12:20,198 We've lost hyperdrive and main weapons. 213 00:12:20,282 --> 00:12:22,343 Evasive maneuvers. We can't take another hit like that. 214 00:12:22,367 --> 00:12:24,012 All right, you should have flight controls now. 215 00:12:24,036 --> 00:12:26,455 What about weapons? Not a chance. 216 00:12:27,205 --> 00:12:29,082 Something's happening. 217 00:12:43,138 --> 00:12:44,198 No, it doesn't make any sense. 218 00:12:44,222 --> 00:12:45,533 Most of our main systems were down. 219 00:12:45,557 --> 00:12:47,452 These guys had us dead to rights and they knew it. 220 00:12:47,476 --> 00:12:48,727 Why would they just fly away? 221 00:12:48,810 --> 00:12:51,490 Perhaps it's precisely because they knew we were no longer a threat. 222 00:12:51,521 --> 00:12:54,066 It's not like the wraith to be so charitable. 223 00:12:54,149 --> 00:12:56,318 Todd said the ship isn't finished, right? 224 00:12:56,401 --> 00:12:58,612 They haven't adapted the full potential of the zpm. 225 00:12:58,695 --> 00:13:00,280 Maybe the battle maxed them out. 226 00:13:00,364 --> 00:13:03,492 Well, if that's the case, I'd hate to meet up with them when they do finish it. 227 00:13:03,575 --> 00:13:04,855 We need to get back to Atlantis. 228 00:13:04,910 --> 00:13:06,536 What's the prognosis on the hyperdrive? 229 00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:08,139 The control systems are completely shot. 230 00:13:08,163 --> 00:13:09,414 My guys are working on a patch, 231 00:13:09,498 --> 00:13:12,042 but it could be days, even weeks, before we're back online. 232 00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:14,544 For the moment, we're not going anywhere. 233 00:13:14,628 --> 00:13:16,088 Marks: Sir. What is it, marks? 234 00:13:16,171 --> 00:13:18,423 I think we may have something. 235 00:13:24,930 --> 00:13:26,650 Kavanaugh, what the hell are you doing here? 236 00:13:26,682 --> 00:13:30,435 (Sighs) Re-assignment. More fun and adventure in the Pegasus galaxy. 237 00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:31,979 Show us what you got, please. 238 00:13:32,062 --> 00:13:33,397 It's a subspace signal. 239 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,316 We detected it just before the hive jumped into hyperspace. 240 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,361 It was weak. Luckily, I happened to be monitoring the sensor 241 00:13:39,444 --> 00:13:41,530 or we might not have picked it up at all. 242 00:13:41,613 --> 00:13:42,948 It's wraith code. 243 00:13:43,031 --> 00:13:44,282 Obviously. 244 00:13:44,616 --> 00:13:45,760 We're having trouble deciphering it 245 00:13:45,784 --> 00:13:48,412 because the message is interlaced with a residual radiation, 246 00:13:48,495 --> 00:13:49,639 and I've never seen it before. 247 00:13:49,663 --> 00:13:52,290 I have. Once when we met another me 248 00:13:52,874 --> 00:13:55,252 and once when we encountered another daedalus. 249 00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:57,713 This signal, sent from another reality. 250 00:13:57,838 --> 00:13:59,649 I'm sorry, what the hell are you talking about? 251 00:13:59,673 --> 00:14:02,801 Some wraith somewhere in another reality sent a coded signal. 252 00:14:02,884 --> 00:14:05,971 Only whatever means they used to access subspace created a rift, 253 00:14:06,054 --> 00:14:09,683 allowing the signal to cross into multiple realities, including our own. 254 00:14:09,766 --> 00:14:11,560 So what does it say? 255 00:14:11,643 --> 00:14:13,812 Just give me a second. Move. 256 00:14:19,693 --> 00:14:20,986 Oh, great. 257 00:14:21,445 --> 00:14:22,446 What is it? 258 00:14:22,946 --> 00:14:24,865 It's a set of coordinates. 259 00:14:24,948 --> 00:14:27,117 Coordinates to what? 260 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,368 Earth. 261 00:14:34,750 --> 00:14:36,310 You think the hive picked up the signal? 262 00:14:36,376 --> 00:14:38,045 Why else would they leave like that? 263 00:14:38,128 --> 00:14:39,421 It can't be a coincidence. 264 00:14:39,504 --> 00:14:41,649 The wraith know that earth is a much richer feeding ground 265 00:14:41,673 --> 00:14:42,984 than anything in the Pegasus galaxy. 266 00:14:43,008 --> 00:14:44,652 They've been looking for those coordinates for years. 267 00:14:44,676 --> 00:14:47,280 All right, as soon as communications are back up, we'll contact Atlantis, 268 00:14:47,304 --> 00:14:48,865 have them relay a message to Stargate command. 269 00:14:48,889 --> 00:14:50,223 Wait a minute, I've got an idea. 270 00:14:50,307 --> 00:14:51,707 How many ships do we have available? 271 00:14:51,767 --> 00:14:53,911 Aside from ourselves, there's the Apollo and the sun tzu. 272 00:14:53,935 --> 00:14:55,979 How about the odyssey? That's on some secret mission 273 00:14:56,063 --> 00:14:57,331 even I'm not supposed to know about. 274 00:14:57,355 --> 00:14:59,459 Then two will have to be enough. What are you suggesting? 275 00:14:59,483 --> 00:15:01,443 Look, that hive may be super powerful and all, 276 00:15:01,526 --> 00:15:03,171 but I'll bet it has to drop out of hyperspace 277 00:15:03,195 --> 00:15:05,530 at some point along the way for hull regeneration. 278 00:15:05,614 --> 00:15:07,324 I can use the sensor data from the jumpers 279 00:15:07,407 --> 00:15:08,992 to extrapolate exactly where that'll be. 280 00:15:09,076 --> 00:15:10,077 That sounds pretty risky. 281 00:15:10,202 --> 00:15:11,596 If you're wrong, it could mean... I won't be. 282 00:15:11,620 --> 00:15:13,973 Anyways, we can't afford to wait till they get all the way to earth. 283 00:15:13,997 --> 00:15:15,624 My guess is that by that point, 284 00:15:15,707 --> 00:15:18,168 they'll be fully adapted to the zpm. 285 00:15:18,877 --> 00:15:20,087 Do it. 286 00:15:26,134 --> 00:15:28,887 Sir? The daedalus just dropped out of hyperspace. 287 00:15:28,970 --> 00:15:30,430 It's about time. 288 00:15:30,514 --> 00:15:33,308 Colonel Sheppard and his team are beaming down. 289 00:15:36,770 --> 00:15:38,956 Woolsey: Colonel.

That signal was too short and too weak. 294 00:15:47,489 --> 00:15:48,824 That ship only detected it 295 00:15:48,907 --> 00:15:50,635 because of its obvious improvements to the sensors. 296 00:15:50,659 --> 00:15:52,786 All right, what's the bad news? 297 00:15:52,869 --> 00:15:53,954 Show them. 298 00:15:55,330 --> 00:15:56,915 This is part of a subspace message 299 00:15:56,998 --> 00:15:59,417 sent by colonel Ellis from on board the Apollo. 300 00:15:59,501 --> 00:16:03,630 We've engaged the hive. Unfortunately, without much success. 301 00:16:03,713 --> 00:16:08,218 The sun tzu is crippled and she's venting atmosphere. 302 00:16:08,301 --> 00:16:10,929 We 're in the process of taking on her crew now. 303 00:16:11,012 --> 00:16:13,723 But, unfortunately, with my engines down 304 00:16:13,807 --> 00:16:17,060 I won't be able to get to the nearest Stargate for at least a month. 305 00:16:17,144 --> 00:16:22,274 As for the enemy, all indications are that they received very little damage 306 00:16:22,357 --> 00:16:25,485 and are continuing on their previous course. 307 00:16:26,444 --> 00:16:29,406 With those two ships out of the picture, 308 00:16:29,489 --> 00:16:33,076 nothing stands between that hive and earth. 309 00:16:42,627 --> 00:16:45,297 There you are.
