Should we storm their cityship? SPOILERS

He'll probably fail - there's no point in neutering the new enemy on the first encounter

From a story point of view if the Asurans want to Ascend they'll first have to learn to deal with their anger - not simply have it removed but learn to control it

Exactly. How often in the scifi have they addressed that to take away the aggressive part causes more harm then good

Right, just look what happened when they tried to "fix" the Wraith. Hopefully they've learned the lesson by now

Disrupter Satilites just like in SG1 since we don't have to worry about the Replicators in Sg1 they can take them from the alpha.. or beta.. or that other site.

I seriously doubt the Asurans would have much trouble defending themselves from the Atlantis expedition.

The Asurans attack Atlantis!

1.) Install multiple asgard sensor arrays on the daedalus so more than one object can be beamed at one time.

2.) Adapt a cloak to the daedalus from one of the pj's.

3.) Travel through hyperspace to asuran homeworld.

4.) Cloak

5.) Beam every last asuran out of the city and into space, starting with the ones in the control room. (this would work b/c we can beam through atlantis' shields)

6.) Beam a clean up team down to deactivate any lockdown

7.) Take the city back to lantia.

cool

guys guys... didnt u listen? drone through gate shield... take out shield generator... send emp thingy through... and go in with the distrupters and take out the rest... then we'd have hundreds of zpms and drones.... and we could help the MW

koll

[NakedJehutyV2]

the only reason they where able to beam through atlantis' shields is cuz they know the frequency. they don't know the asuran city frequency

But would it really be that different from the shields of atlantis?

[HirogenGater]

I don't think Atlantis should do anything until they learn more about this new race.

Um, all strategic considerations aside, how would this make us any different than the Genii? We'd be even worse, really, because the Asurans (as far as I understand from spoilers) built their own city and ZPMs--all that actually belongs to them. Maybe if they're just occupying an Ancient city, since they were clearly hostile with the Ancients...then it would be more like taking the city back from the Ancients' enemies.

And I guess if they tried to destory Atlantis we'd be justified in striking back. Even then, though, unless the city is Ancient and not built by the Asurans, and even if it were strategically feasible, I think trying to steal what isn't ours is morally dubious. Something like a ZPM is fine--it's not a weapon, it's just a glorified battery, and from the sound of it, they have plenty of them anyways. Plus, it's technology we're already familiar with, and in desperate need of.

I'm not sure why the idea of stealing bothers me more than blowing up hostile aliens. I guess it just seems too NID. It blurs the line, you know?

I'm going to go with getting the Asgard to upload a beam to shut off the Huminaids so we can fire it through the gate to their cityand then then go in and lout the place.
