The Chair was overloading.
Rodney was yelling. Zelenka was yelling. They were trying to direct teams and fix the problem or slow it down enough that the whole city didn't blow. John was sitting on the Chair trying to tell Atlantis to back off, to power down.
"Wait! What happened?" Rodney snapped. "It diffused."
"It's still building up," Zelenka warned.
"But away from people. You do that?" Rodney asked John.
"Don't think so."
"Dr. McKay?" someone called him on his earbud. But John could hear both sides of the conversation in Ihis/I earbud.
"Who is this?"
The other person ignored him, but John recognized him somehow. "We've managed to divert the energy. We can similarly prevent the build up at nodes 15 and 22, but we need someone on nodes 32 and 48 to…." Then the guy rattled off some scientific gobbly-gook that John didn't understand.
"Who is this!" Rodney demanded again.
"Is he right?" John asked.
Zelenka was already evaluating. "I believe so."
"Rodney?"
McKay pressed some buttons on his computer and then reluctantly nodded.
John made the decision to trust the voice. "Zelenka, get your team to 48. Rodney 32. Fix this now. We'll chat with whoever later."
