Chapter 4: History
The camera start with Rodney walking in the big hallways of the city talking to Carter, and explaining to her, about his discoveries.
Rodney: "it is amazing Sam, we just need to access those parts, but even with the genes, we could not open the area"
Carter: "don't get your hopes up, let us see the Capt. And what he will say first.
Capt. Wilder:" absolutely out of the question, no one get out of the city unless u finishes documenting this city, and we know what is out there, no one will step outside."
Rodney:" but sometimes to know what is inside; you need to look for the outside"
Carter:" but sometimes to know what is inside; you need to look for the outside"
Carter : " sir , I am afraid he have a point here , until we figure out this place we are not able to dial the gate , nor know any known address here , it is very weird , the ancients have been here , yet we have the addresses , but we cannot dial them due to something they did . and we need to know what they did in the past to know "
Capt. Wilder look at carter and yell: "Shepherd! Suit up; I am going with you... "
Rodney: "you are coming with us? … Really! Um... That means a yes.
Carter:" we better go and suit up Rodney... "
The camera shows us the team with carter, Capt. Wilder, Rodney, and Teyla and 2 other marines on the platform, and then Capt. Wilder take a deep breath, with his calm voice and say: "ok crack it open ". The door open, and we can see them walking forward into a almost a km of nicely drawn nature path, nothing seem suspicious, but in the camera, we can see someone watching from far, and following them to the location that till now a secret. Then, they arrive to an edge that has a stairway, and Carter say:
"Sir, you better have a look at this"
Capt. Wilder: "I will be damned… "
Everyone go so surprising looking up and up and the camera start showing us large huge statues of the 5 races holding hands each glowing with fainted but colorful shield each of his original power, earth " red " , water " blue ". .. Humans yellow. The team approach the first and Rodney tried to read the plates in front of every statue each in a language that he cannot read , until he arrive to humans statue it was written in ancient language , but erased by something , but there was a place he can put his hand in it.
Rodney: "well who volunteer? … Anyone?
We see him and carter try to put their hands and nothing happen.
Rodney, after an hour examining the plate.
Rodney: I do not understand any of these, all of these, no power source, no computer, nothing … I am stuck.
The camera show us Capt. Wilder and the marines holding their machine guns, and walking around until Capt. Wilder reach the plate. And he looks at it for like few seconds.
Capt. Wilder: "we should go back, you had your chance this is just a rock and it is almost dark, we need to head back now…."
Rodney frustrated: "I believe he is right "talking to carter:" let us go.
While he was packing, Capt. Wilder: was a bit curious about the stone he took his gloves and put his hands, and suddenly the rock glowed and the rock grew of his hand and he could not retract. And the earth started to shake.
Capt. Wilder:" go on, get out of here, get inside the city; I cannot get my hand off …
Everyone tremble and shake for a minute; and then around them the ground for about 100 yard, started to shake. many things on the floor was dropping right and left and the ground sink into the bottom a bit about 2 meters. Then walls of light with ancient's languages appeared and Capt. Wilder hand was released and the statue with human shield had his eyes glowing and the shield disappeared opening some kind of a door into the statue.
Rodney:" Okays, now you believe what or me.
Capt. Wilder:" okay, I believe you now can we move? "
Rodney:" wana be the first in? Or… we stay here till you feel comfortable enough?
Capt. Wilder grin and does not say anything but walk into the door of light, and they followed and they disappeared with the light gone off at the same camera now show us them in a large hall with yellow light on the walls. A path to a hall, and the hall had a window to space and a table with some chairs, and a digital screen. Everything was empty nothing to see or to touch beside those. And after they were talking Capt. Wilder: sit on a chair , and finally , all gizmos started to flash like a virtual 3 d graphics in the room, showing the galaxy and the planets , and many more things, and Rodney said : " cool ". Let me try, so he sat on the chair, and things flashed too, amazing, everything I can think off is camera fade and come back again after few hours…
Capt. Wilder:" this is wilder, come in base".
Personnel:" this is base …"
Capt. Wilder: it looks we are going to stay here for a while , I want regular patrol , armed , every 1 hour all the path nothing get in nothing get out .
Personnel:" ai sir will do "
Capt. Wilder:" Rodney, are we good yet?"
Rodney: this is amazing, this contains all the human history and I mean everything it has hundreds of terra no millions of terra of terra of information stored.
Capt. Wilder: great did you find a way to dial earth yet?
Rodney:" uhm , no but I am working on it"
Capt. Wilder: great just great ….
Carter talking to Capt. Wilder: it is amazing this place; I never dreamed our race was so advanced, I mean I seen things but this? This is another thing.
Capt. Wilder: Cpt. this would mean nothing unless we cannot activate the gate or know more about this place , ever occur to you Capt. Why such a place , so advance as you say was abandoned?
Carter: not to mention the warning Ele said, I am starting to worry about what he meant.
Rodney: GOT IT! GOT IT!
Capt. Wilder: well, thrill me
Rodney: I know what happened,
Capt. Wilder: what happen to what!
Rodney: to Us…
The camera fades, and then back in the room, they sit in those chairs and Rodney is speaking:
Rodney: This chair or device is much more like the one on earth, but let me tell you much more advance; the one on earth or Atlantis is like the old first version of it. Anyway, it have many abilities and functions, and … well let me show you.
Rodney put his hands on the chair hand and his chair glowed a virtual appearance in all the room like there are in a story, and we can see what Rodney is speaking.
Rodney: the cause of the war was about the Race powers, the Furlings and some part of the elves society were not happy with what they got, and they rose against the others, experimenting in secret on them wanting to steal their powers.
Capt. Wilder: powers? Like superman?
Rodney: here see, each race have the power to control the element he was made of in the first place, water, fire earth. Etc…. they wanted naturally the power of US…
Carter: so?
Rodney : this city was built as a refuge from war , it is powered by the earth geothermic energy , it will last forever , but here the thing , this shield is not an energy shield only , it is a genetic barrier , it only allow the passage of certain things preprogrammed into the systems.
Capt. Wilder: and?
Rodney: "we lost the battle, to these ….
A 3 D presentation show a creature resembles the furling picture, but have some elves properties.
Capt. Wilder: are you telling me this is our new enemy?
Rodney: worse, these enemies defeated the ancients. And the elves at the same time and as the logs show they are pretty much still here in this galaxy
The camera fades and show us the red moon started to shed a bit of volcano erupting, and started to tremble.
Rodney: the other thing is this place… it is made so we cannot access except our history our ability and our logs. The others are not activated for us to see.
Capt. Wilder: why does this place open on my hand sand not yours?
Carter: you must have some sort of stronger gene in you or something.
Rodney: Actually, he has another gene, according to this, it is called the elders gene, these chairs are ok but the most important keys are operated by the elders, and not by normal ancients.
Capt. Wilder: Dr., your job now is to find a way to activate the gate; I am going to the city
Rodney: Actually, I know sir how. You will be thrilled …
The camera fades again. it show a creature much resemble to the creature in Rodney presentation in the forest touching the ground and like draining some power from it and heading to a hill. Then touch a rock, and it transforming into a rocky type small ship. He enters and put his hands on a plate, and close his eyes. And we can hear him speaks
They are here… they activated the logs.
Deep voice: they must not be allowed to understand more, we will order a strike soon keep us posted.
The camera fades out to the space…
