The Wraith Mind Grinder

[PG15]

Yes, it can kill everyone on Atlantis, but who knows what they'll have to do to use it? Besides the point that they still think of Atlantis as a big stretch of radiated debris on the ocean floor, if it involves getting any kind of ship close to Lantia, then it's toast by drones.

Put the device inside an asteroid (one that would not get entirely vaporized), fake a crash and let the damn thing sink down the ocean, broadcasting its funky signal.

Right now, the use seems limited, but had the Wraith been able to enter the Milky Way, this would suddenly become a complete different story.

Yeah but that only works if its a fullscale war between the Wraith and Humans and when the Wraith arent concerned with feeding themselves. In the last siege of Atlantis they beamed Humans away for feeding as well as to disarm their weapon positions.

Last thing I would want is Humans going crazy in Atlantis and blowing my chance in finding a new feeding ground... literally blowing it... unless of course there is a variable setting for the thing that would prevet humans going insane from the effects of the device and McKay did say that someone put it on max and left it there so its possible that there are variable freqencies for the thing.

But who knows, hopefully perhaps we might see this again soon in action. And considering that this is the second Wraith experiment we have seen well who knows what other horrors those gothic vampires have up their black sleeves....

1. How do you "fake" an asteroid impact? If it suddenly slows down near the surface, someone's gonna figure out that something's wrong, and I'm pretty sure that device won't survive an asteroid impact.

2. Why would Team Atlantis let an asteriod hit the planet in the first place? Why don't they blow it up or move it to save themselves from, you know, annhilation and all that doomsday asteroid stuff?

Right now, the use seems limited, but had the Wraith been able to enter the Milky Way, this would suddenly become a complete different story.

I hope no problem with this.

All they'd need to do to get them to Atlantis would be seige it up again and fire a dozen or so of them into the ocean around the city in some kind of missile form. Bingo, instant murder party.

That or you can do the whole "let our scoutship land" thing again and put the thing in the scoutship, turn it on when you touch down and watch them all start gnawing on each other while you casually browse the ancient computer system.

Hell you could even disguise it inside some sort of interesting ancient relic and manipulate them into brining it back for you somehow. When it arrives on the base it turns on. That Wraith hologram shield technology would be great for this. Make it look like a stone idol or, better yet, a puddlejumper. They'll find the abandoned jumper on some planet somewhere, bring it back because they can always use more, then whammo, murder party again. That particular method would work really well with a bio/chemical weapon or giant nuke to, if you just wanted to kill them all.

You could even send a scoutship or another hispeed dart to approach from the otherside of the planet and release it into the ocean as some sort of guided torpedo/submersible that would eventually make it's way to the city under water.

There's all sorts of ways to get that device or devices into or near the city.

[PG15]

True, but since they don't really have a reason to do that right now, this point is moot.

[wise one]

if they did try fake a astroid impact, its most likly atlantis would beam a nuke into it
