Yes, of course it worked. 82 00:04:59,049 --> 00:05:01,302 I'm already onto the next problem. Which is? 83 00:05:01,385 --> 00:05:04,680 Well, the sensors are having a hard time determining what it is, 84 00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:07,600 probably due to the doppler effect. What is? 85 00:05:07,683 --> 00:05:09,268 I'm detecting a foreign object 86 00:05:09,351 --> 00:05:12,229 traveling at .999 the speed of light, 87 00:05:13,856 --> 00:05:15,900 and it's coming this way. 88 00:06:26,303 --> 00:06:28,180 We have a contact, sir. 89 00:06:28,264 --> 00:06:29,533 It's colonel Sheppard back from earth. 90 00:06:29,557 --> 00:06:31,618 Colonel Sheppard, welcome back to the middle of nowhere. 91 00:06:31,642 --> 00:06:32,893 Sheppard: Thank you, colonel. 92 00:06:32,977 --> 00:06:35,813 I've got a takeout pizza for everyone back in Atlantis. 93 00:06:35,896 --> 00:06:38,232 With your permission, I'd like to upload the macro 94 00:06:38,315 --> 00:06:39,595 and dial out before it gets cold. 95 00:06:39,650 --> 00:06:42,820 Negative. We're putting that leg of the trip on hold for now. 96 00:06:42,903 --> 00:06:45,072 Seems like we're expecting company. 97 00:06:47,658 --> 00:06:49,338 McKay: Believe it or not, moving that fast, 98 00:06:49,410 --> 00:06:52,621 while an incredible feat of technology, isn't very useful, 99 00:06:52,705 --> 00:06:55,583 certainly in comparison to travel through hyperspace. 100 00:06:55,666 --> 00:06:57,585 Now, moving as fast as it is, 101 00:06:57,668 --> 00:07:00,254 this ship, assuming it is a ship, 102 00:07:00,337 --> 00:07:02,047 would still take at least a million years 103 00:07:02,131 --> 00:07:03,591 just to reach the milky way. 104 00:07:03,674 --> 00:07:04,901 That close to the speed of light, 105 00:07:04,925 --> 00:07:06,486 don't you have to take relativity into account? 106 00:07:06,510 --> 00:07:10,139 Exactly. The people on board, assuming that they are people, 107 00:07:10,222 --> 00:07:12,683 would only experience maybe 12 years, 108 00:07:12,766 --> 00:07:14,244 so a few stasis chambers, they're laughing. 109 00:07:14,268 --> 00:07:15,745 I mean, they're not laughing. They're unconscious. 110 00:07:15,769 --> 00:07:17,605 But, you know, metaphorically. 111 00:07:17,688 --> 00:07:21,275 So assuming it's a ship and assuming they're people... 112 00:07:21,358 --> 00:07:22,484 What do we do about them? 113 00:07:22,568 --> 00:07:24,820 Well, we try and make contact, obviously. 114 00:07:24,903 --> 00:07:26,214 Caldwell: How do you propose we do that? 115 00:07:26,238 --> 00:07:29,325 Pull up, honk the horn, try to get them to roll down their window. 116 00:07:29,408 --> 00:07:31,261 Caldwell: I'm talking about attempting to match their speed. 117 00:07:31,285 --> 00:07:33,704 This ship is not designed to do that. McKay: We can't. 118 00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:35,789 Even if we succeeded, we'd still be subject 119 00:07:35,873 --> 00:07:37,017 to the same time-dilation effects. 120 00:07:37,041 --> 00:07:39,561 We'd be out of contact with earth and Atlantis for, well, years. 121 00:07:40,085 --> 00:07:42,296 Can't we overtake them with our hyperdrive? 122 00:07:42,379 --> 00:07:44,214 Yes, but they would blow right past us 123 00:07:44,298 --> 00:07:45,984 as soon as we dropped back into normal space 124 00:07:46,008 --> 00:07:48,969 because our sublight engines are incapable of accelerating 125 00:07:49,053 --> 00:07:50,596 to anywhere near the speed of light. 126 00:07:50,679 --> 00:07:54,558 So we Max out the sublight engines, get as close as we can get. 127 00:07:55,392 --> 00:07:57,353 Yes. I mean, that might work. 128 00:07:57,436 --> 00:07:59,456 We should at least be able to stay in range long enough 129 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,981 to get some sensor readings, yeah. 130 00:08:01,065 --> 00:08:03,901 Do it. I'll let Atlantis know you're gonna be late. 131 00:08:09,406 --> 00:08:11,283 Did you really get pizza for everyone? 132 00:08:11,367 --> 00:08:12,385 Becauseit would be a shame 133 00:08:12,409 --> 00:08:15,245 for that to go to waste if we're going to... 134 00:08:15,371 --> 00:08:17,831 Yeah, okay, so solve this first, and then... 135 00:08:24,296 --> 00:08:25,798 Sir, we've got just about everything 136 00:08:25,881 --> 00:08:27,841 we're gonna get out of the sublight engines. 137 00:08:27,925 --> 00:08:31,887 They're gonna fly by us in three, two, one. 138 00:08:40,396 --> 00:08:43,315 Interesting. What? 139 00:08:43,691 --> 00:08:45,067 If these readings are correct, 140 00:08:45,150 --> 00:08:46,870 and to be perfectly fair, they may not be... 141 00:08:46,944 --> 00:08:50,030 Rodney.
