Wraith tech in Kindred pt2, Spoilers.

I found it interesting that Michael had a device to detect teylas baby similar to ours, only he had to modify it for her. Think this may be a clue and could show that wraith queens give birth like human women?

Not really sure, it seemed to me that he just made a few modifications to something he already had to perform the task, that it wasn't anything specific they already had.

IIRC he said this is used on our kind, and it took me a while to modify it to work on humans.. So it does seem that at one point in time they had the need to 'see the' foetues of wraiths..

“I’ve had to modify this technology for use with humans, it’s crude but it works remarkably well.”


That's actually the exact quote. Michael didn't say anything specific.

Maybe it is just a sonic.. thingy... -.-

[MacTX]

At this point, it's anyones guess. Michael really didn't go into any details about the device.

Wasn't a queen shown to secrete dna (yummy) into gestation pods? That episode with the cloning base.

ya, in the spoils of war episode with the wraith trying to make clone warriors.

It seems that those are clones, and that is a process used after fighting with the ancients and not there original way of reproducing, me an others have theories about the masked wraith, but thats more in another thread lol. That process also seems to be like our fertilation clinics, only more advanced and with cloning.

so the masked warriors are cloned wraith and the faced wraiths are birth (real) wraith?

[pbutter]

My question is that, where are the wraith computers ?
Why is michael using Geni computers...., those thing's are like late 1980's tech, horribly outdated.

No that was the normal birthing. After she was done they were going to move on to the cloning phase but we interrupted them.

Yes, or more to the point her dress apparently did.

It's impossible to really draw any conclusions about Mikey's device since he said he modified it in some non specific way from some previous use he never went into. We don't know what it did or what or how much he added and changed it so it's a bit of a leap to say this proves Wraith have humanlike babies.

If they did it's doubtful they would even need a low tech ultrasound type machine like this. They already have sensor tech that is far superior to what Michael used on Teyla that they could just use instead.

You cant say that for sure, Todd or another wraith told us that they only developed that process after they got zpms from acnient ships. It would make sense that the masked warriors are clones because they are inferior/ dumber and easyer to kill. And it seemed that all the wraith from that process were masked, which would make sense if there clones because they might only be able to make normal wraith through a normal berthing process or atleast one at a time, otherwise why would you make masked wraith at all?

True, but he was also working with limited resources, an using stolen geni tech. It may have only appeared inferior because of the geni tech, like the wraith nav tracker used by the geni. The device itself was obviously wraith in type.
