Renovations and Inclinations
Renovations and Inclinations.
By Athosian Death Facilitator.
ACT 1
Scene 1 - Conference room:
Carter:
Officially as of 11 hundred hours Earths Stargate was de- commissioned.
McKay:
From what we have been able to ascertain the gate was hit with multiple energy blasts from several staff weapons. The wormhole destabilized and fried the dialing computer and several key systems.
Ronan:
What is a staff weapon?
(awkward silence.)
Sheppard:
It’s like an gun on a stick.
Ronan:
Cool.
Carter:
Colonel Caldwell is seeing to the additions being made to the
Sheppard:
What?
McKay:
Good point.(turns from Sheppard to Carter.)
Why don’t one of the lower echelon teams take care of it or better yet someone on Earth.
Carter:
I thought you were the foremost expert on the Stargate?
McKay:
Well. I am.
Teyla:
What happens to the people who can not get back to Earth?
McKay:
Colonel Ellis is going to take all the personal from the Alpha site back to earth on the Apollo.
Carter:
Dr.Zelenka is going to re-write your macro and change the gate address so it links up with Alpha site. Colonel I was wondering if you would help come up with a few plans for a new gate room setup if you don’t mind?
Sheppard:
Sure why not? But why me?
I mean don’t get me wrong I am glad to help but I am wrong guy in every sense.
Carter:
No reason but the IOA did request you to do it personally.
Sheppard:
Woolsey. (angry and under his breath)
Opening Credit Sequence
Scene 2 – Mess hall
Teyla, Ronan, and Sheppard are sitting around and McKay walks in and starts filling his bag with lots of food.
Teyla:
I wonder what he is doing over there.
Sheppard:
Why don’t you go and find out? (To Teyla)
I double dare you.
Ronan:
Alright I will.
(Walks over with Sheppard to McKay who is putting food in a bag)
McKay what the hell are you doing?
(Teyla joins them.)
McKay:
I am going to Earth and I’m going to take some food for the ride.
Ronan:
Sheppard I don’t know about Teyla but I would like to go to Earth with you guys so could?
Teyla:
Ronan I can’t go. I can’t leave my people
McKay:
Okay but I don’t see why Ronan can’t come. It is Jeanie’s birthday in like a week too. Although I should point out that I am going to be on Earth for two weeks and try and figure out how in Pegasus to create another dialing program.
Sheppard: (with reference to the line “how in Pegasus”.)
How long did it take for you to come up with that one?
McKay:
Well I didn’t come up with it Zelenka did.
Ronan:
What ever. How long until we go?
McKay:
We are scheduled to leave in about an hour.
Ronan you might want to change first.
Ronan:
Why?
McKay: (walking off.)
I don’t want a “cave man” following me around all over Earth.
(TIMECUT)
Scene3 – Walk and talk to the Jumper bay.
McKay:
So how did you manage to convince Carter into letting you and Ronan go?
Sheppard:
She owes me a few favors.
McKay:
Does she now?
Sheppard: (Enter the Puddle Jumper)
Yes I helped her out a couple of times last year when we were back on earth.
(Ronan joins them wearing normal Atlantis black military clothing.)
Ronan:
Are we ready to go?
McKay: (sits down in the piloting chair)
Wow don’t you scrub up well.
Sheppard:
I’ll say.
Ronan: (smiling.)
I got and Teyla to Chuck helped me out.
Sheppard: (baffled.)
Chuck? ........huh
Ronan: (excited.)
Are we ready or what?
Sheppard: (Turns to McKay)
Just about. I need you to switch seats.
McKay:
No
Sheppard:
Why not?
McKay:
It’s my turn.
Sheppard:
You can’t even fly the damn thing.
McKay:
Oh yeh?
Sheppard:
Yeh.
McKay:
Well watch this huh.
Ronan: (annoyed.)
Can we go already?
McKay: (a little bit angry)
Yes we can.
(Radio) Flight this is Jumper 1 were a go for launch.
Chuck:
You are clear for take off “jumper 1”.
McKay dials the gate and the wormhole engages.
Scene 4 – midway station/jumper/Daedalus.
Daedalus technician:
Sir the Pegasus gate system just activated.
Do we have an IDC?
Daedalus technician:
No sir.
(PA) All battle stations stand by for immediate action.
(Turns off the pa and turns over to the technician on his right)
We are going to DEFCON 1 full alert status and bring all rail guns online ready all missile batteries.
Visuals:
Jumper comes down in to the control room and goes through the gate until he reaches the midway station. The puddle jumpers exits the event horizon and goes through the intergalactic gate bridge until they reach a safe distance away from the both gates.
Ronan:
That felt weird.
McKay:
Yes well I’m glad I’m in one piece.
Daedalus technician:
Sir we have a contact. It’s a puddle jumper and I am reading three life signs.
Thank you Captain.
Sheppard: (radio)
Daedalus this is Jumper 1.
Open a channel.
SOUND
Is that you Sheppard?
Sheppard:
Yes it is Colonel. Can we park in the fighter bay and come aboard?
Permission granted Colonel.
(PA) All battle stations stand down. We are moving to DEFCON 5.
Visual:
“Jumper 1” fly’s up in to the fighter bay.
(Coming out of an elevator to a walk and talk.)
Scene 5 - Daedalus
Ronan:
Why are we here McKay?
McKay: (angry.)
Zelenka has been screwing around with my macro and I want to see what the hell he has done to it.
Sheppard:
Meet you on the bridge then.
McKay:
Good idea.
Scene 6 – Daedalus bridge.
Next time you come through the Midway station transmit your IDC.
Sheppard:
Colonel?
I came so close to blasting that jumper it’s not funny.
Sheppard:
Well I’m sorry it was McKay’s trip anyway he should have remembered.
Yes he should have.
Sheppard:
Colonel I will go and talk to McKay about it and if you wouldn’t mind, call Atlantis and instruct them to automatically transmit their IDC when dialing.
(Sheppard walks away.)
Scene 7 – Zelenka’s lab
(McKay and Ronan and walk to Dr. Zelenka’s lab, Ronan stops just inside the doorway and leans against the wall.)
McKay: (in a commanding tone.)
Okay step away from the console.
Zelenka:
Excuse me Rodney.
(In a persistent shove he pushes Zelenka out of the way of his work station.)
McKay:
Move I want to see how bad you have messed up my macro.
Zelenka:
What are you doing Rodney? (He throws Ronan a confused look)
Nice out fit. (Ronan smiles back in accepting the complement.)
McKay: (McKay hooks up his tablet and then turns in surprise)
You have changed the forwarding codes but other than that it seems fine.
Just make sure you have my original copy of the macro ready for upload as soon as the Earth gate is operational
Zelenka:
Ahh… well it is long story.
Ronan:
Well make it short.
Zelenka:
I misplaced it, temporarily.
Ronan: (annoyed)
Oh no this is going to be a disaster.
McKay:
Area fifty one has the original copy so don’t worry but I need the new macro at least for the Milky way.
Zelenka:
I almost have it, it is just finishing data compression.
McKay:
Listen, I will need you to upload it into my tablet when you are done.
Scene 8 – (In the jumper)
(In the fighter bay Sheppard walks up and is last to get into the jumper to find McKay still residing over his piloting chair.)
Sheppard: (angry.) (Hits McKay over the back of his head.)
McKay what did you forget to do before we left.
McKay: (hurt.)
I don’t know.
Sheppard: (angry.)
The IDC.
McKay: (realizing his mistake)
Well I was too busy arguing over the pilot chair. (Stressed)
(Sheppard looks at him sternly and then he collects himself.)
Daedalus this is “jumper 1” we are go for take off.
Daedalus Technician:
Stand by jumper 1.
Sir “jumper 1” is requesting permission to proceed.
Open a channel.
SOUND
“Jumper 1” you have a go.
Scene 9 – Jeanie’s house.
The door bell rings and McKay’s sister opens the door to find McKay, Sheppard and Ronan in the doorway.
Sheppard, McKay, Ronan:
Surprise
Jeanie:
Oh my gosh, Meredith what are you doing here? (McKay sighs because she called him Meredith.)
McKay:
Happy birthday Jeanie
(He gives his sister a peck on the check and moves inside where Caleb and Madison are and then
Did you bring me a present?
McKay:
As a matter of fact we did.
(McKay hands his niece a packaged Barbie doll which she takes to with excitement and enthusiasm.)
(smiles and turns to Jeanie.)
Listen I can’t stay long we have to fly back to
I just came by to give you your present.
They go outside and Jeanie automatically sees a brand new shiny BMW.
Jeanie: (surprised.)
Meredith what is that.
McKay:
I know what you’re going to say but I really couldn’t think of anything to buy you so I just went over to the dealership and bought that.
Jeanie:
Oh you shouldn’t have.
Sheppard and Ronan: (searching to be acknowledged)
I, we picked it out.
Caleb:
(
Wow.
Caleb:
It’s our new car.
(Close up of McKay happy and satisfied with his efforts)
Jeanie:
Thank you so much Meredith
McKay:
Really you need to start calling me Rodney.
Scene 10 – Air Force Limousine.
Ronan:
Sheppard what are we going to do now?
Sheppard:
Rodney?
McKay:
Well I was planning to start figuring out the gate room setup for the SGC in a couple of days so I think we have about two days to kill.
Sheppard:
Perfect.
McKay:
Why?
Sheppard:
Well I am going to take Ronan out for some down time, show him the sights that kind of thing.
(Musical montage of Sheppard at them parks with Ronan and McKay, on fares wheels and they are in a diner and having a conversation.)
Scene 11 – diner.
McKay:
So Ronan what do you think of earth now.
Ronan:
It’s great.
Sheppard:
Yeh.
Ronan:
Aha.(excited)
Sheppard:
Well nothing like a little retail therapy to change a man.
McKay:
Are you serious? Just get him some biker gear and he will be back to his usual self.
Ronan:
What is biker gear McKay?
Sheppard:
It’s basically leather clothing.
Ronan:
Well can we get some.
Sheppard: (Ronan and Sheppard get up and Sheppard puts on his jacket.)
Since McKay is paying, why not?
McKay:
Very funny.
Scene 12 – street and biker shop.
They leave the diner and walk along past some stores until they fined and Biker shop with leather jackets in the window.
Ronan:
This is my kind of place.
McKay:
Sure it is. (McKay throws Sheppard a look and Sheppard throws one back.)
Lots of inter cuts to Ronan coming out of the dressing room in different clothes/suits/jackets.
End of act 1
ACT 2
Stargate Command.
Scene 13 – Hall way.
Daniel Jackson, Vala and Teal’c walk through the hall way turn a corner and Daniel accidentally walks into Ronan.
Wow I’m sorry.
Ronan:
I’m fine.
Hey Ronan I didn’t know anyone from Atlantis was here.
Cool jacket by the way.
Teal’c:
Indeed.
Oh ah this is Teal’c. (Teal’c bows slightly)
Teal’c Ronan, Ronan Teal’c. Teal’c is also part of SG-1.
(Teal’c slightly tilts his head.)
Vala:
Vala Mal Doran.
Teal’c:
Would you consider a trade for that jacket?
Ronan:
I can’t trade you this one but I have some more of the same kind of jackets in my quarters too. I’ll go to my quarters and get them.
Daniel:
Meet you in the briefing room in about twenty minutes.
Ronan.
Okay.
Daniel, Vala and Teal’c walk off and Vala says.
Vala:
He’s hot.
Scene 14 - McKay’s lab.
Ronan:
How’s it coming Sheppard?
Sheppard:
Good we have come up with a setup we like but ah we can’t decide whether we want to use a Pegasus Stargate or the Milky Way one.
Ronan:
I would use our ones because they are better.
Sheppard:
That’s what I said.
McKay:
What makes you so sure that they are better?
Ronan:
The Ancients use the Pegasus ones.
McKay:
Yes and you have a PHD in what.
Oh I remember, killing wraith.
Ronan: (proud smile and a warning to McKay.)
Not just wraith.
Scene 15 – Landry’s office.
McKay knocks, walks in and sits down in a chair opposite Landry who puts down his phone.)
McKay:
Our work is almost finished.
Landry:
That’s good to hear doctor.
McKay:
We have not however come to a decision as to which type of Stargate we are going to use.
Landry:
Why not?
McKay:
Well because Sheppard wants to use a Pegasus gate but I want to keep with the gate we have already.
Landry:
I will bring it up with Woolsey when he gets here.
McKay:
I will need to see him and everyone who works in the control room.
Workers, repairmen everyone okay.
Landry:
Leave it to me.
Scene 16 – briefing room.
(McKay walks out to Daniel, Teal’c, Mitchell, Sheppard and Ronan sitting around trying on lots of jackets that are strewn all over the briefing room table.)
McKay:
What the hell is this?
Mitchell:
Hey, Meredith what’s up?
Daniel:
Did you just call him Meredith?
Mitchell:
Yes I did.
(Awkward silence)
Ronan:
Want a jacket?
McKay:
What? Okay.
Landry:
People, what the hell is going on here?
Mitchell:
Sir?
Landry:
Get this stuff out of my briefing room and get back to work.
Sheppard:
Yes sir. Sorry sir.
Scene 16 – Briefing room with the lights off.
(The room is packed with Sheppard, Ronan, Teal’c,
Sheppard gets up and starts the meeting/presentation off.
Sheppard:
Thank you all for coming to this meeting.
First we are going to start off with the Gate room setup.
(Uses the remote to activate the projector which in turn shows a 3D image of the gate room setup agreed upon by both Dr. McKay and himself.)
Sheppard:
Stargate operations will be more or less the same but has a few new additions. Depending on which gate we are going to use we may have to put in the seismic dampeners to stop the Stargate from shaking but that shouldn’t affect much off anything.
We are going to put in a jumper bay but it can only fit about 4 jumpers in to it. We have moved the gate back a bit closer to the rear wall and we have managed to put in an auxiliary control room which will harbor most of the emergency controls like the manual iris switch.
McKay: (Loudly as to make sure everyone hears him.)
The new Stargate program I have designed is fairly different from the one that is currently working on the Alpha site and the previous system you have used here. It is more sophisticated and all round a whole lot better.
(McKay clicks the projector remote to reveal an automatic dialing and palm print system running in a simulation.)
McKay:
First and foremost the DHD will use a 10 digit alpha numeric code to unlock itself to a specifically for one user and will also have a palm scanner. It will keep a log of every user and will monitor each user. It runs on about three naquadah generators and has about a 150 terabytes of memory of which about 50 terabytes have been used up on the system itself.
This new program is based on a lot of Atlantis’s superior programming and attributes. The new Stargate operating system will be using all the symbols that are in the Ancient and Asgard database. It will have more symbols than a regular DHD. We will be able to dial some other galaxies like for example Pegasus except for the fact we have insufficient power.
(McKay clicks the remote to the projector and an image of the irises of Earth and Atlantis comes up.)
As most of you know Atlantis has a force shield iris on its Stargate to protect against threats and unwanted things as apposed to earths Stargate which only has a more basic trinium one. Not dependant on which gate the IOA wants to use I have copied the iris crystal from Atlantis’s DHD and I have put it into the new Stargate program so we will have a new iris force shield as well.
Failing that, the gate will have its regular trinium iris that has been used on Earth and the Alfa sites you have been using that will have a manual ignition and also will have a built in function on the new program itself.
Have I lost anyone?
Harriman: (putting up his hand.)
So we have two irises now.
McKay:
Yes we do.
Harriman:
Well which one do we use.
McKay:
Glad you asked.
The program has built into it a system that use an IDC on the incoming wormholes. It will automatically turn on the iris force shield when an incoming wormhole is established. There is an iris palm print to turn on or off both irises and of course one at a time you only need to select which one. And yes you can engage either iris with outgoing wormholes as well.
Moving on now.
(Clicking the projector again to show the new DHD and several tabs.)
The DHD will be a touch screen pedestal rather than on a computer screen with a key pad. Similar to an off world DHD it is about waist height and is easily accessible. It has touch responsive tabs which access the irises, Stargate symbols, detailed information on the gate at its then present state and log every planet or gate dialed as well as previous gates we have records of.
It does have connected computer system that will run things such as, diagnostics and have the data logs of personal using it. How ever there is a security benchmark for accessing the private logging information. To access the information you must have authorization and be a senior member of Stargate command, Lieutenant Colonel and above as well as Sergeants, Harriman and Syler are permitted to access the logs.
Now I will be conducting a workshop in half an hour to demonstrate to you how to operate it and how to repair the new systems.
McKay clicks off the projector, lights come on and the crowd disperses.
McKay starts to pack away his notes and Woolsey walks up to McKay.
Woolsey:
Very impressive work Dr.McKay.
McKay:
Really, you think so.
Woolsey:
I will present my report to the IOA and we should have a decision in the morning.
(TIME CUT)
Scene 17 – McKay walks into Sheppard’s quarters to find him playing cards with Mitchell, Teal’c, and trying to teach Ronan how to play poker.
McKay:
Oh hey guys.
Sheppard:
Hey yourself. How did the workshop thingy go?
McKay: (starts to pace back and forth nervously.)
Not too bad.
Sheppard:
Great.
Mitchell:
Stop pacing and pull up a chair, deal him in T.
I am going to call it a night guys I have to get up early.
McKay:
I’ll take your place then.
Teal’c:
Very well.
Montage of them playing cards and then it comes back to them a bit drunk and tired.
Scene 18 – Sheppard’s quarters.
Sheppard:
Looks like your all out Ronan?
Ronan: (drunk)
No, No one more hand please?
Sheppard:
Hey buddy if you don’t have anything left to bet with we can’t help you.
Ronan:
Can I bet my gun?
Sheppard:
If you want to, don’t let me stop you.
Sheppard, McKay and Teal’c look at each other and consider it for a moment with a cheeky grin on each of their faces as all of them want Ronan’s cool gun. Ronan is dealt in and they all play very carefully until McKay reveals a king straight and wins Ronan’s gun.
Sheppard:
Oh I don’t believe this. McKay one more hand.
McKay:
I don’t think so. (victoriously)
I’m going to bed. (cheekily)
(McKay walks out and try’s to spin the gun and almost drops it.)
Ronan: (Drunk and angry)
I hate this game.
Ronan gets up and walks off.
Sheppard:
We better go fined McKay before Ronan does.
Teal’c:
Indeed.
Sheppard and Teal’c walk out of the room and head straight for McKay quarters and fined the door open and Ronan on the floor and McKay holding the gun.
Scene 19 – McKay’s quarters and outside in the hall.
Sheppard:
What did you do to him McKay?
McKay:
I may have stunned him.
Daniel comes to find them in McKay’s quarters and Ronan.
Daniel: (curious.)
What’s happened here?
Sheppard:
Ronan bet his gun and McKay stunned him when he tried to get it back.
Daniel:
What are you are a going to do know.
McKay:
What?
Daniel:
He is going to kill you when he gets up.
McKay: (frightened.)
Oh god your right.
Teal’c:
Indeed.
Sheppard:
Tell you what, Teal’c you stay with McKay and we will take Ronan to the infirmary. Makes sure Ronan doesn’t come back for his gun again okay.
Teal’c bows.
McKay:
Good idea.
END OF ACT 2
ACT 3
Scene – 20 SGC hallway.(walk and talk’sh.)
McKay: (Sporting his new gun.)
The IOA based on the information that you have provided has moved for a Pegasus gate to be used on Earth and the Alpha sites as well.
Sheppard:
Good. (they stop walking.)
Ronan is coming run.
McKay turns and sees no one there and then turns back to Sheppard and Ronan is standing in front of him and McKay automatically jumps back in extreme fright.
McKay:
Holy mother of god.
Ronan:
Lets go an spar a little McKay.
McKay:
I can’t I have to supervise the installation of the new dialing program.
(McKay looks up at Ronan and notices his serious face.)
McKay:
Or Not.
Sheppard:
Hey, you can teach him that Setedan sport.
Ronan:
Good idea John.
Scene 21 – GYM
McKay:
So I have to grab the flag?
Ronan:
Yeah
McKay: (scared.)
Oh this is not going to be fun.
STUNT:
They start off with heavy stick fighting and, McKay is surprisingly good at the stick part and then he lunges forward to get Ronan’s flag, and is tripped up head first and Ronan gets his flag.
McKay lies on the ground and a little bit hurt
Ronan: (gloating)
That’s one for me.
McKay gets up and is angry he is hurt and he repositions himself opposite Ronan for a round two
Ronan: After each level there is the possibility of injury so after each round the difficulty is increased. Round two is one handed.
McKay:
Are you sure. (Ronan just smiles back without speaking.)
McKay:
Look I am not good at this so if you want to use two hands I will.
Ronan:
Fine.
Sheppard and Teal’c walk past the open gym door and see McKay fearing for his life and decide to watch.
STUNT:
Ronan lunges at McKay who jumps to one side holds his stick out firmly and low. Ronan try’s to jumps it but McKay brings it up and Ronan is tripped up.
McKay grabs Ronan’s flag and yells in triumph.
McKay: (yells at Ronan.)
I bet you didn’t see that one coming did you.
Sheppard: (walks in clapping)
Alright McKay.
McKay:
I know ah.
Ronan gets up a little bit hurt.
Sheppard:
You right there buddy.
Ronan:
Yeah I’m fine. How about Round three McKay?
McKay:
I think I have had enough for one day but Teal’c would you like to?
Teal’c:(cuts McKay off)
Indeed.
McKay hands Ronan back his flag and hands over his stick and flag to Teal’c.
STUNT:
Teal’c and Ronan start off evenly matched in stick fighting.
Teal’c reaches for Ronan’s stick, grabs it and pulls Ronan forward.
Teal’c lifts him up rips away Ronan’s flag from him and slams him down.
Teal’c: (smiling.)
Perhaps a Round two Ronan?
Sheppard:
I was thinking the infirmary?
Scene 22 – The Gate Room.
McKay: (The new gate is getting lowered in to place.)
Okay, Okay stop there. Good work, go to lunch. No not you guys.
Sheppard:
Having some trouble are we?
McKay:
To say the least, would you mind supervising the gate installation while I take a look at the jumper bay?
Sheppard;
You got it.
Scene 23 – Jumper bay.
McKay has a group of scientists huddled together and is advising them on their set tasks.
McKay:
The Central Jumper System is a computerized combination of information gathered from previous mission reports from all teams over the last decade or so as well as planetary, and cultural information. The SGC jumpers from Atlantis’s underwater jumper bay are going to run on a different system then they do in Pegasus. Now each one of you has been assigned information to gather and upload in to the central system so get moving.
All the scientists disperse and then Sheppard walks up to Dr.McKay.
Sheppard:
Hey Rodney, Radek is here he was just beamed down from the Apollo with his department of scientists and they are ready to start helping with the jumper program installation.
McKay:
Okay then we can get to work on the auxiliary control room.
Scene 24 - SGC hallway.
They walk through and SGC hall way to get back to the ground level and run into Dr.Zelenka and some of his scientists.
Sheppard:
Hey Radek how was the trip.
Zelenka: (happy.)
Well not too bad although it took a bit longer than I am use to you know with this galaxy being bigger than Pegasus.
Sheppard: (confused.)
Cool.
McKay:(hands Dr.Zelenka a tablet with information necessary to the jumper central jumper system.)Hey Radek I haven’t really setup the system yet so I will need you to index the stuff kind of like Atlantis’s database if you could.
Zelenka:
Sure.(Points forward of himself and then starts to talk in
Lets get to work guys.
Scene 25 – auxiliary control room.
Dr. Lee: (To McKay.)
So how does this auxiliary control room work again?
McKay: (confident and extremely excited.)
Okay two systems separate to each other yet identical are going to run simultaneously in the background of the Control room in this auxiliary control room as double backup system and they are powered by a single naquadah generator. So if something goes wrong we have a secure system to fix the problem.
Dr. Lee:
Wow that’s, that’s, really a genius plan.
Sheppard:
Well it was my idea.
McKay: (spiting Sheppard.)
I came up with the system setups and configurations.
Sheppard:
I get it; you think you’re smarter than me.
McKay: (angrily.)
I will have you know that I am smarter than you.
Sheppard:
Of course you are.
McKay: (snapping in anger.)
What is that suppose to mean?
Sheppard:
Well I am smarter than you as a military strategist and you are smarter than me as an astrophysicist.
McKay: (very angry.)
I am a great military strategist………
Sheppard: (cuts McKay off in mid sentence.)
Until you can beat Radek at chess your not very much of a military strategist.
McKay:
You mean you beat him?
Sheppard:
I did and I get one months pay.
Scene 26 –
McKay: (Brings Zelenka a coffee.)
Have you finished uploading the information yet Radek.
Zelenka:
Thanks Rodney. Well last minute reports and specifications are being auto indexed into the system as we speak so not long now.
McKay:
Great, can you put together a brief for me and Colonel Sheppard?
Zelenka:
I thought you would want to do it because well it is your project.
McKay:
You are wrong my friend, it is our project.
Zelenka;
Well that nice to hear for a change.
McKay:
Well you are the new head of the astrophysics and scientific department on Atlantis.
Zelenka:
But that is your job, where are you going?
McKay:
No where but it is both our jobs now.
Zelenka:
I don’t know what to say Rodney.
McKay:
Don’t mention it. Just hurry with that brief I kind of need it in the next hour or so.
Zelenka:
Oh right yes of course.
Scene 28 – Landry’s office.
Gen. O’Neill and Gen. Landry are sitting and talking when Dr. McKay knocks on the door and interrupts.
Sheppard:
Sorry for interrupting sir.
Landry:
Colonel it’s quite alright. Come on in.
Sheppard:
We are reaching our T-0 and McKay wants to start a power up down there is that okay with you.
Landry:
Tell him we are on our way Colonel.
Sheppard:
Yes sir.
Scene 29 – Control Room.
McKay: (shouting as Sheppard comes down the SGC staircase.)
Colonel Sheppard what did he say?
Sheppard:
They are on their way.
McKay:
I’m sorry they?
Sheppard:
Yes, they.
(Gen. O’Neill and Gen. Landry walk in the control room.)
McKay: (noticing Gen. O’Neill.)
Oh they. (He turns and gets back to work.)
(Gen. O’Neill and Gen. Landry walk up to Dr. McKay and Zelenka.
Landry: (to Sheppard.)
When you’re ready Colonel?
Sheppard:
Yes sir just waiting for McKay to clear everything.
O’Neill:
Is that a new gate Colonel.
McKay:
Yes it is, all systems are in the green and we are ready for power up.
Sheppard: (to Zelenka.)
Go up to the jumper bay and get ready to dial the Alpha site from the jumper on my mark. (Zelenka leaves.)
Stand by for power up on my mark Sergeant.
Harriman:
Yes sir.
Sheppard:
3, 2, 1, mark.
(Big over head lights in the
Good, now activate the trinium iris. (Sgt. Harriman selects the iris tab and the steal iris closes over the Stargate.)
Good, now the force shield iris. (Sgt. Harriman selects the force shield iris symbol on the DHD and the trinium iris retracts into the Stargate and the gate shield iris comes on.)
(radio.) Radek dial the Alpha site.
Zelenka:
Okay. (In a jumper he starts to dial the Stargate.)
The Stargate starts to dial and the wormhole engages.
Harriman:
(radio.)We have a connection. Dr.Zelenka if you wouldn’t mind shutting it down and returning to the control room.
Zelenka:
Oh right yes of course.
He leaves the jumper bay and the rear door to the jumper retracts to close.
Scene 31 – Dr.Zelenka runs down the control room stair case and joins them.
