Darts Transport

[EternalAlteran]

In the episode Brotherhood we see a wraith pilot beam into Atlantis. Does this mean that there is a transporter in the Dart's cockpit?

If it is why didn't Sheppard beam himself out in the Lost Boys when he was flying in the hive?

He probably didn't know how.

The other possibility is despite what they though, it wasn't the pilot. Just a wraith that was stored in the buffer that the pilot was instructed to drop off.

Could be, Wraith have sacrificed themselves to try and destroy Atlantis (kamikaze run after the hives were destroyed).

As the dart interface was basic though the option probably just wasn't available.

I dont think that Sheppard could beam himself out, He was stored in the buffer of the dart, in all likeliness the beaming tech is in control of the dart operator.

There is probably another smaller culling beam in the cockpit that allows the pilot to be stored in the buffer and then rematerialized to escape.

that is what I thought. in the episode where Mckay gets stuck in a dart and has Lt. Cadman's mind inside his. the beam appeared to be able to be directed backwards out of the back of the damaged dart. I always figured the beams were able to be aimed. The pilot just swiped the beam inside the cockpit after setting the controls to beam down and transmit all data back to the hive ship.

Such an ability also explains how a dart managed to cross light years of space. The pilot programmed the destination coordinates, beamed himself into the beam pod and waited in a form of stasis. When the Dart entered the system it automatically beamed him back into the cockpit where he had several hours to go. For the pilot only an hour or two would have gone by, but for the dart several months have travelled.

Probably couldn't with that Hive Ship?

^^^ This is what I have thought too since that episode where Ford captures the team and plans on Sheppard flying the found/stolen (?) Dart to the hive ship then taking his team up there by being picked up by the 'beam' them reintegrated upon arrival in the hive. I think that is what they did. Picked up the Wraith, kept him in the beam and beamed him down when they thought they were scanning the city.

If it is true what you are saying, the Dart must have had artificial intelligence since it did some nice evasive manouvres and destroyed a puddlejumper with one well-placed shot.

It was probably a wraith that was stored in the buffer panel. Cause the ship did seem to fly pretty well considering being shoot at.
