Stargate Atlantis

Previously on Stargate Atlantis.

You're gonna need a name.

How does "Mike" sound?

The retrovirus works. So much is clear. Just look at the guy.

I'm returning to what I am.

Not only has our dear lieutenant rejoined the Wraith,

but he's taken with him the knowledge that Atlantis still exists.

We have detected a hive ship heading towards Atlantis.

I think we can assume it's Michael.

Your retrovirus will allow us to feed off enemy Wraith.

Receiving transmission. What is, exactly?

Everything you've ever wanted to know about Wraith technology

but were afraid to ask.

Once we get in range, we can beam a canister

into the CO2 chamber and boom!

One hive ship de-Wraithified.

There's been a change in plans.

There are two hive ships bearing down on our position, sir.

One of them is the friendly.

The Queen wants you to witness the fruits of your labor.

Within the hive ship's schematics

was a worm-like computer virus.

What did they get?

The location of every world in our database.

With some 302s we might be able to take out

the hyperdrive, save us some time.

Do it!

Shields are at 60%!

I've got incoming.

Daggers Three and Four, try to keep these Darts off our six.

Roger that.

Half the bogies are pursuing Daggers Three and Four.

We've got the other half hot on our tail.

I'm taking fire. I've lost the generator.

Stand by to break left on my mark... Mark!

Fox four!

We're in the clear. Continue to target.

Shields are under 20%.

Colonel Sheppard, get your flight back to the ship.

We need to jump out of here as soon as possible.

Two minutes. I can shut down their hyperdrives.

Unless you can shut down their weapons,

it's not gonna do us much good.

Damn it!

Dagger Two, I could use some cover on

my attack run to the target hyperdrive.

Roger that, leader. I'm on my way.

The remaining Darts are returning to the hives.

Can you go to max thrust?

Negative.

Head back to theDaedalus.

Roger that.

The hives are opening hyperspace windows.

Why the hell'd they do that?

Three of our 302s are returning to Daedalus, sir.

Sheppard?

His fighter isn't one of them.

The only contacts I have on screen are wreckage.

What about his locator beacon?

Nothing, sir. He's just gone.

Understood.

Okay. This is new.

Colonel Caldwell. What's the status of the repairs?

Ongoing.

We lost a few key personnel in the attack.

Yes, we did.

I'm sorry.

So am I.

But this isn't the time to mourn them.

I just briefed General Landry.

We're to check-in in an hour and advise him of our response to this.

I've got a broken ship and serious casualties.

I don't know what sort of response you have in mind but...

I want you to redeploy immediately. Excuse me?

So long as they're still in striking distance, we have to at least try.

You know we can't intercept them in hyperspace.

Radek?

Well, obviously they've upgraded their FTL drives

using the information they were able to steal from our database,

the Aurora mission reports... Obviously.

However, the ships are organic in nature.

They will need to make brief pauses

to recover from the effects of hyperspace radiation.

Where and when? Yeah.

It will take some time to calculate.

Go. Okay.

Look, Dr. Weir, I wanna go after

these bastards as much as you do,

but the Daedalus is in no position to fight right now.

Our shields are severely depleted,

several decks are inaccessible.

Even if we could catch up with them,

I don't know how long we'd last.

Which is why I'm committing the Orionas well.

It was recalled the moment the Wraith computer virus was revealed.

And it's in no better shape than Daedalus!

It will fly, and by the time you reach the hive ships,

it should also be able to fight.

And if it isn't?

Currently, Stargate Command has no vessels

capable of engaging the hive ships before they reach Earth.

They cannot be allowed to get that far, Steven.

You know what you're asking me to do?

I do.

There's still repairs that need to be made.

Do what you have to do.

McKay: They couldn't have.

Even if they somehow deduced the location of Earth,

they still wouldn't be able to get there, not unless they...

Something like spyware.

It has to be... I did this.

I'm responsible for the destruction of my own planet.

If anybody was going to do it, it'd be you.

Thank you! Thank you so much for that!

Stop worrying about it now. Just focus.

Focus on what? What is there to focus on?

I'm stuck in a cocoon!

On getting out of here.

Oh, right, of course! Why didn't I think of that? Of course.

Here goes, um... No, still can't move.

I'm pretty sure they're struggle-proof there, big guy.

Okay. Can't sit here forever.

Hit them while they're in hyperspace.

They'll never know what happened.

Is that even possible?

McKay: There is no reason to believe

that their hyperspace field is any different than ours,

and we can't launch 302s from the Daedalus while in hyperspace.

I'm simply talking about maneuvering within the field,

not passing through it.

What do you think?

Colonel? Hmm? What? Yes.

He's not listening.

I got to pay more attention to those guys.

Yes, Michael?

You should have told me

that we were going to betray the Atlanteans.

Are you feeling sympathy for them?

No. But I don't understand why I wasn't told.

I told you of their plan because I believed it was a viable way...

You're only alive because you still may prove to be useful.

But I fear, Michael,

that the lingering stench of what they have transformed you into will never fade.

In approximately one hour,

the Wraith will drop out of hyperspace here.

It's just outside of the Pegasus Galaxy.

There they will pause for 15 hours.

If Daedalus and Orionbreak orbit on our current schedule,

they should be able to reach those coordinates

in just under 14 hours,

best possible speed.

A narrow window.

It's the only window, sir.

Understood.

Now, the International Oversight Advisory

wants you to brief them on this matter.

When would you like me to dial in again?

You misunderstand me.

I mean in person, and I mean right now.

The President himself assigned...

I can't just leave, not now.

I'm afraid that's not up to you.

There is far too much going on here... Doctor!

You've done all you're going to do for now.

I need you to step through that Gate.

They're waiting for you in my briefing room.

Dr. Weir?

I see.

Teyla, we are awaiting several teams to return from their missions.

Once that happens, I'd like to suspend all gate travel

until this whole thing is over. Of course.

And I'll need you to dial in once the Daedalus is ready to leave.

I know what to do, Elizabeth.

Of course you do.

I will see you when you return.

Thank you.

Welcome back to Earth.

Thank you, General. It's wonderful to be here.

I can see that.

You know, I considered disobeying your order.

There wouldn't have been too much you could do about it.

You made the right decision in coming.

We're in the middle of a crisis, General. This is absolutely...

Don't bite my head off, Elizabeth!

The recall order didn't come from me.

Who it came from doesn't matter.

What if I told you it came from the President?

I wouldn't believe you.

And you'd be right.

But in a couple of weeks, there could be aliens on our doorstep

determined to feed on the human race.

The President had no choice but to accede to the IOA's demand

that you be brought back to explain yourself.

So what do they really want?

To point fingers and cover their asses.

I am honestly not sure how I will respond to that, sir.

They're bureaucrats, Elizabeth.

You'll have them for breakfast.

There is work I must attend to.

Stand aside!
