Can we connect Odyssey to SGC gate power

[ckwongau]

We know after the Asuran invasion, we got 3 ZPM. Two were send back to Earth.
One for the Odyssey ,one for the Antractic Ancient outpost


And we know the writer doesn't want SGA to get too easy .

With the midway station gone,and the IOA doesn't want to rebuild it.
What about allowing the SGC to open up a wormhole to Pegasus?may be just for ememgency ?

Moving the ZPM around is not difficult,but expose it to security risk, what if the remaining Trust or Goa'uld or even Lucian alliance want to steal it .

What if we move to the Odyssey closer to the SGC .

like one or two mile away ,and connect to the Cheyenne Mountain base's powergrid or build a new a set of super conducting powerline to the sub-level 27 ,and connect to stargate directly.

It won't make SGA team 's life too easy.because SGC can only use Odyssey ZPM power when Odyssey is not on mission (unofficially it probably will get more free time, with Ori gone, new ships being build,and the asgard core make the ship too important).It can't be a regular thing or even semi-regular arrangment.But look at how the awful BC-304's schedule are now.
Like episode Kindred pt 1 and 2.

We have Daedulas support in Kindred pt1,Kindred pt 2 happen 3 days later ,and Daedulas doesn't even get mention.
(Carson had an injection 4 days earlier before rescue, Carson was dying withing the weekly injection)


It would' help SGA a lot ,even psychologically, knowing Earth could send help in a few hour if there is a crisis.
Remember how Weir and Sam told the team in some crisis situation.
"We contacted Earth , Daedulas had just departed , it will be here in two week", to do what after 2 week ?to pick up the dead?

Remember Colonel Everett 's military contingent from Earth in The Siege pt 2.They bought railguns ,space mine , good news and confidence.Their effort fail ,but it felt good in the first 5 minute of the episode.we probably can't relay on Earth during a crisis.But at least they can bring new weapon( assuming Earth can still come up with good weapon) and supply and ground troops(red shirts)


We know Odyssey has a cloaking program(Daniel/Merlin put it there) which was still in use during "Ark of Truth".So Odyssey can cloak when flying near Cheyenne Mountain ,and land on some area with underground facility ,build with power terminal .

Ok I hope you didn't mean to connect it literally straight to the gate, Because that would be stupid in so many ways. Those power cables could take months even years to build (Being advanced probably with Asgard, Goauld or Ancient systems would be used) Then you need security or some redneck will stick his powerline into it hoping to get free electricity and his house ends up flying around the universe.

Becuase it's still worth sending it out there what if the Atlantis team can hold on and defend long enough for Daedalus to get there and just because you didn't send it the team die's pointlessly.

Actually col Everett's military force wasn't a complete failure it was infact a complete success, They may have lost alot of people but if it wasn't for them Atlantis would be in the hands of the Wraith (SGA team couldn't hold off 2 hives of Wraith with only a handfull of men when they had no resistance in the AA role).

I think it would be possible, but not in the exact way you said it. It would definitely help

What if we beam the ZPM directly in the gateroom. The jammers were designed to block the beakons and so the Odyssey with Asgard sensors could beam the ZPM into the gateroom.

just add rings to the SGC and ring it down

Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest. Good call with the RINGS.

Isn't Oddy's ZPM dead?

From unending, it ran out of power, but when they went back back in time it would still of been dead..

Was it?

Well, like i said, we can send the ZPM down to SGC.But the moving of ZPM expose it to risk.

no ,The Timeline was erase, like the Odyssey got destory by the Ori beam , but the beam's power send Teal back to the earlier point of timeline.Only Teal got age 50 yr with a data crystal from that timeline existed ,Remember the Asgard computer core 's independent power ,and the ZPM was drain, that's why they use the Ori beam's power.

The Asgard computer still has power in Ask of Truth.

no they still had power cause they needed it to turn on the super gate. as well when the ori ships were shooting at the odyssey it lasted for a long time and they would need zpm to last that long. but as far as connecting the ship you could ring down the zpm and as far as security if it is going from the ship to the sgc so no problem.

Yes Beaming down the ZPM is easy, but why we haven't done it yet?
Not lacking major crisis, but because the IOA, Pentagon doesn't want to move the ZPM too much.
All the authorisation, application , procedure, and by the time all the proper chain of command are inform and authorise the crisis in Atlantis probably over, unless we have a major major crisis, then they probably hand over the ZPM quickly.
That's why borrowing the ZPM can't be a regular or semi regular arrangment.

But if we can connect the Odyssey with SGC 's power supply , SGC can have more access to Atlantis.

I know it is lot more complicate than a long cable connecting from Odyssey to the stargate.But if we can use blackhole in Pegaus to dial up the supergate.
It won't be too hard to connect the Odyssey with the SGC

[eluvatar]

ya I guess thou now that I think about it. it would be easier to beam the zpm in from antarctic and then use it. and we know that the asguard can have a hand held version (or at least small) and we have their stuff so we should be able to make one.

[RyanDixon]

Havin power cables runnin down several miles of open sky would be an navigational nightmare for aircraft... not to mention the whole 'classified' nature of the stargate program

[eluvatar]

no we are talking about having the odyssey land and connect on the ground. not they sky
