Ok people. Like I said earlier I'm going on vacation tomorrow for a few days and I wanted to test my new idea on ya's - This would be my take for the episode Tabula Rasa in Season 4. Lemme know what you think.
Thank you Scifan!!!
Spoiler:
Col. Sheppard, Teyla, Ronon, and Rodney had stepped through the gate only an hour earlier. They found the cave almost immediately after Rodney had detected an energy reading. The cave was ordinary at first glance but after further examination, Colonel Sheppard had discovered a simulated wall that reacted when he approached it. “Must be the good ole’ Ancient gene,” John muttered. “Hey guys, come check this out.” The others walked over, staring at the gaping hole where a wall just stood. John scanned for life signs as Rodney scanned for any anomalies. “The energy reading I detected on the surface is definitely coming from in there,” Rodney said. “Then what are we waiting for?” Ronon replied as he brushed past Rodney, his gun held out straight in front of him. The other followed suit and entered into the dark hidden chamber. After what seemed like a long hallway of total darkness, at the end was a room filled with an eerie blue light and only a large white pedestal in the center. They approached it carefully. “This writing is definitely Ancient,” Rodney remarked at the markings written on the pedestal. Colonel Sheppard, Teyla, and Ronon peered over into the center, where a large hole lay. Rodney spoke quickly, “Something isn’t right here. Whatever you do people, don’t’ touch —“ He was interrupted by Ronon tracing one of the markings with his finger when a loud rumbling noise sounded from inside the pedestal. Rodney glared in disbelief at Ronon. “Oops.” Ronon said. “Ronon! Who knows what catastrophic event you might have just initiated by having the same ability of restraint as a TWO YEAR OLD!!” Rodney shrieked at him. The pedestal began moving in a slow, methodical circular motion and they all took a few steps back. The rumbling felt beneath them and grew louder with each moment. “I do not think we should remain,” Teyla spoke quickly. The whole room seemed to be quaking now and they slowly backed up towards the hallway they had entered through, except the doorway wasn’t there any longer. “Um, wheres the door?” Colonel Sheppard asked as they stood in disbelief staring at the wall. “Did I ever mention I am VERY claustrophobic??? Can’t you be all Ancienty again and open it?!” Rodney was near hysterics. Colonel Sheppard waved his hands in front of the wall many times before turning to Rodney and replying, “I don’t think this is working.” Before their panicking got worse, the rumbling stopped and there was a complete silence. A few moments passed before Ronon smiled and said, “See McKay? Nothing to worry about.” Rodney grimaced and before he could reply, a loud whooshing noise came from the hole in the pedestal and a surge of white powder burst from the center of it, quickly filling the room and causing all of them to cough and choke. They tried to conceal the powder from entering their mouths with their arms, but to no avail. The air was so dense with the powder, they could not even see each other anymore.
Minutes had passed before the air began to clear and when it did the four of them stood blinking furiously and coughing, each of them covered head to toe in white powder. Colonel Sheppard looked around the room carefully, eyeing the pedestal first and then raising his eyes to see the others. He stared at them for a couple of seconds, cocked his head to the side strangely and made a face. “Um…I don’t mean to be rude or anything but who the hell are you people and where the hell am I?”
