I had no way of getting in touch with you. 583 00:31:05,740 --> 00:31:08,951 I was doing top-secret research in another galaxy! 584 00:31:09,827 --> 00:31:11,162 You could have sent me a message. 585 00:31:11,245 --> 00:31:15,041 You know, call me on my birthday, at Christmas, once a year, 586 00:31:15,124 --> 00:31:16,542 that's all I would have needed. 587 00:31:16,625 --> 00:31:21,005 Just a, "hi. How are you? Are you happy?

Yeah. 632 00:33:23,127 --> 00:33:26,106 Apparently their exotic particle problem is spinning out of control much faster 633 00:33:26,130 --> 00:33:27,506 than they'd anticipated. 634 00:33:27,590 --> 00:33:29,925 Oh, boy.

I got that, but... How bad? 645 00:34:00,289 --> 00:34:05,002 Well, to be honest, the science gets extremely complicated, but simply put, 646 00:34:05,085 --> 00:34:08,881 the tear will eventually swallow up the entire galaxy, possibly the universe. 647 00:34:08,964 --> 00:34:11,550 So very bad. 648 00:34:11,634 --> 00:34:13,778 Well, I think we can all agree that that would be bad, yes. 649 00:34:13,802 --> 00:34:16,096 Their plan will take six hours to implement. 650 00:34:16,180 --> 00:34:17,490 I suggest we do something before that. 651 00:34:17,514 --> 00:34:18,641 Well, we have an idea. 652 00:34:18,724 --> 00:34:20,809 Actually, jeanie has an idea. 653 00:34:22,019 --> 00:34:26,565 We think we can collapse the bridge with a massive burst of energy from this side. 654 00:34:26,649 --> 00:34:30,945 And stop the creation of exotic particles on the other side by doing so. 655 00:34:31,028 --> 00:34:33,072 How massive a burst are we talking? 656 00:34:33,155 --> 00:34:34,323 Everything we've got. 657 00:34:34,406 --> 00:34:37,409 I mean enough to severely deplete our zpm. 658 00:34:37,493 --> 00:34:40,579 So instead of creating a new powerful energy source, 659 00:34:40,663 --> 00:34:43,249 we'll be sacrificing the one we already have. 660 00:34:43,332 --> 00:34:47,086 Yes. We'd still be able to dial earth but much less frequently, of course. 661 00:34:47,169 --> 00:34:50,297 And let's just say, I wouldn't wanna be around here if the wraith show up. 662 00:34:54,802 --> 00:34:57,263 I don't see that we have a choice. 663 00:34:59,515 --> 00:35:01,433 All right.
