Wormhole drive, again? really?

[Nth Chevron]

Its fun to speculate, we know that if they had used the WH drive to end SGU it would be **** on a universal scale.

Were just theorising possible ways that COULD happen if the actual created universe of Stargate was reality - how would they go about it, what plans would they come up with.

Anyway, back on topic;

If we go by the power requirements for an Atlantis sized WH jump, then yes, ZPMs need to be pulled up like carrots, but as i suggested they would most likely use a smaller class of ship, maybe not 304 but a Prometheus frigate design or something new, would reduce the power requirements severely, unknowingly ofcourse, but possibly reducing the power needs enough to enable a full galaxy jump on half a ZPM.

This where a subspace tap would come in handy, hooked up to a capacitor outside of the tap itself, so when the capacitor is charged, the tap is shutdown to hopefully prevent any un-foreseen side effects of drawing power from a dimension your about to travel though, capacitor engages and jumps to next galaxy.

Judging by the charging time of the SST (subspace tap) in 'Deadalous Variations' for a half ZPM capacitor load i would say an hour max for each jump. Although that might be optimistic i am just using DV as a base point.

Which would put the expedition ship at Destiny within, say, 1 week, allowing for 2-3 jumps per day to not overtax the drive and maybe drop longer range Stargates on the way for exploration, or probes, or scribble a "we woz ere" sign on the nearest lampost.

Thats how i would go about it anyway.

That number of ZPM's is assuming that only 1 was fully drained. If your saying that you will only use half a ZPM per jump you would still need 280 of them. Also that jumpwas from the edge of the milkyway facing the pegasus galaxy to earth not from pegasus to earth. when your needing to use nearly 300 ZPM's for a one way trip its time to look for a nice Icarus planet and set up there.

not to mention they don't know were destiny is, instead of wormhole drive they could perhaps get the former ori followers to make a supergate for them, they could find a planet ahead of destinies path from the ships database, then they would have the power of 2 singularities to power the supergate for them to just fly in.

[Nth Chevron]

Destiny has a log of where she's been, it was in Air.

So we just visualize and extrapolate, keeping a set of stones on the WH ship and Destiny incase they get lost in a bad neighborhood

You would need to keep moving the supergate all the time because Destiny would be out of range very quickly.

And how would the other supergate get built?

if they just need to go home then they would only need to fly the destiny in and have the hammond beam them off the ship

and as for how the other supergate would be built, watch the episode of sg1 "beach head" and your question will answerd

[Crias]

But if you take destiny through the gate then they will never find out where the signal came from! :O

I'm sure rush and some of the scientists would hate that, but I don't think young would or the people back at earth would mind, or the hammond could come through, beam out the people who don't belong there and get the right people on thi ship with apropriate suplies, it could probably even make a few trips after destiny jumps, up until destiny goes too far away from the gate.

[Nth Chevron]

And how would the other supergate get built?

As we have seen, the Ori Supergate CAN connect to smaller normal Stargates, so we could connect to a normal gate near Destiny and start sending through gate segments that the shuttles could then haul into orbit and drag close together and then either assemble the segments into the chain or close enough for them to do it automatically as the Ori segments did.

That was done BY THE ORI.. Sicne we only have their people and most likely neutered priors, how would it get done?

Rewatch pegasus project. IT WAS the other way around a normal gate connecting to a supergate.. Well jumping its wormhole over.

at that time the ancients were shielding the milkyway from the ori, meaning there was no magic involved in the making of the supergate, it was purely technology which the priors know how to build, and I don't think the priors lost there knowledge or there power when adria was stopped, so they could do it exactly how they did it in beach head

[Crias]

They were drones, each individual piece was designed to exit the normal Stargate enter orbit and link to the next piece in the chain. No magic was in play it was simply the technology doing its thing.

We saw the gate peices come through then imediately fly up/enlarge.. So i am wondering if that active gate allowed the Ori to use their powers INTO our realm.
AS for the priors retaining knowledge/power, that depends on how they had them.

[Nth Chevron]

Yes it was the other way round, but there is nothing against trying to do it in reverse.

BUT, what i was initially getting at, was that we might not need to make a jump, just revise coordinates and see if the Supergate could connect to a normal Stargate as close to Destiny as possible as its powered by a singularity.
