You get the Asgard Core.

[mirdin1992]

So the Asgard Core with ZPM attachment suddenly appears in your room.



What would you do with the full Asgard knowledge database, possibly some of the ancient database too and an interactive asgard hologram.

As a bonus it still has time dilation field and asgard transporter incorporated, matter-converter not pre-instaled

[Lantean General]

Can I trade it in for an Ancient database?

[mirdin1992]

Sure but you have to renounce the asgard one. So no beaming or time dilation device incorporated and good luck with finding something in that 50 million year of collected info and not so user friendly database.

This is all asuming that you even have the ATA gene to even turn it on.

[lordofseas]

Hmm....I read Asgard history.

I like you mirdin, you seem plucky

Ok, lets assume I have the ATA gene or a Daniel Jackson level of handwavium in my pocket. I start on early history

Agreed *handwave* Lantean General general now has the ATA gene and full access to the ancient database which appeared in his room.

Wonder how much time it would take you to stumble across the search function if it even has one.

The Ancient database does have a search function, Atlantis even has a hologram to tell you things as well. If we go with the headsucker version if your mind is advanced enough you can litterally remember how to build anything Ancient and 50 million years worth of history.

[garhkal]

I would have it build a ship for me!

[wkw427]

I would make slave girls to do what ever I wanted. Such as making a 50 gallon pot of soap water. Then pouring it down the storm drain.
SUCK IT FISHES!

[escyos]

id lock the door and spend some *quality* time with the core......

Atlantis's search function sucks ass apparently, cause we still don't know what a zpm is or how to make one...If searching was so easy you would just type zpm, and bam.

Because Ancient databases can extrapolate what we mean when we input three letters in, by understanding what the phrase is, the use of the word, why we use those words to describe the phenomena occurring in the technology...etc.

Find the thing the Asgard nearly died protecting from the Replicators:

The recipe for the best cake the universe has ever known!

See, that's all the replicators ever wanted. But noooo. The Asgard loved their

cake.

The asgard database has a working AI that does all the work for you. And i am fairly sure that if we needed to build something we just need to ask it. Unlike the ancient system where it has been years of "searching" and not 1 zpm info has been found yet...

Or maybe we just don't have the technology to build one ourselves? Weir even commented in 'Siege' that she couldn't choose which part of the database to save then referring to various technological fields. Its fairly safe to assume they could find info on ZPMs in the database even if the Ancients called them something different.

The Asgard database is good because if you can reconfigure the transporters you can get it to make you things. However we've seen once you have the Ancient database in your head you make things like enhanced powersources, energy drills and intergalactic hyperdrives out of spare parts.
