Stargate SG-1 · Season 6
Sir. Several of the Tok'ra have expressed concern about the temporary quarters they've been assigned.
Explain to them the meaning of the word "temporary". If they don't like it, they can leave.
You really want me to tell them that?
Yes. No. [sighs] I'll do it.
[Carter is explaining the status of a naquadah generator in the morning]
It seemed like a power fluctuation in the cycle output of the naquadah reactor. But at closer inspection, I discovered the absorption port and its redundancy had been tampered with.
Carter! I haven't had coffee.
Well, whoever it is, we're dealing with an enemy we can't see. Without TERs to counter that technology, we're helpless.
Do you have the means to generate a high-frequency electromagnetic field?
I could modify the wave output of the naquadah reactor.
Within a range of 400 to 700 nanometers?
That might just excite the phase particles enough to bring them into our visible light spectrum.
Carter?
Sir, the invisibility field must operate—
Are you about to tell me that you can make the invisible guy vi—
Yes, sir.
That's all I need.
If you can see it, you can shoot it.
[Carter turns on a recalibrated naquadah generator]
Ooh! Anybody else feel that?
The tingling sensation is caused by the energy field. It's not causing any physical damage, so there's nothing to worry about, sir.
No, I like it. It's good!
This weapon (holding up the Ashrak's large bladed knife) has shed the blood of Tokra, of Jaffa, and of the Tauri. By the hands of our common enemy, it has made us brothers! Together, we have ensured it will never spill our blood again!
They are sending their most respected team of representatives. No doubt the leader of this group will be a brilliant and savvy negotiator.
We must be at our best to match the challenge.
Personally, I cannot wait to meet a man of such genius.
[SG-1 enters through the Stargate]
Howdy, folks!
[Zenna Volk approaches Jonas and Teal'c]
Earthans!
Uh… Earthlings. [looks at Teal'c] Sort of.
A Goa'uld offspring is born with the intellect and knowledge of the queen who bore it. Normally, the fully developed personality would emerge, allowing the symbiote to control the host immediately upon blending.
Glowing eyes, cliché behavior, evilness, that kind of thing.
[SG-1 is observing a Goa'uld queen that has spawned millions of symbiotes]
Alright now, how is that possible? I mean, how does she make kids without a… [pause] …man friend?
Symbiote queens are able to fertilize their own eggs. It is essentially an asexual process.
That why you guys take hosts?
How much does she know?
She thinks Prometheus is some kind of fusion reactor.
Then maybe we don't have a problem.
[Carter and Jonas are showing off the BC-303 starship to a TV newscrew]
You're saying little green men helped you build this?
Actually, they're gray.
Suffice to say you might want to get upstairs and punch "1" [supposedly the President] on the old speed dial.
[confused] My grandchildren?
"2" then.
They didn't go for it.
They didn't approve the mission?
No, they did that. Once they knew the stakes and the whole "fate of the universe" stuff, both the president and Hammond realized we have no choice. He sends good luck, godspeed, and all those things he says when he thinks we're gonna die.
So what didn't they go for?
The name I suggested.
For the ship?
Yeah.
Yeah, sir, we can't call it the Enterprise.
Why not?!
The project codename is Prometheus. What's wrong with that?
It's a Greek tragedy. Who wants that?
Replicators exist merely to increase their numbers and do so without prejudice. They are no more evil than a virus.
A really evil virus.
What's the matter with you guys? Time machines are nothing but trouble -- even we know that!
