How about an episode where the team scientists finally go through trinkets that the original Lanteans left behind in their apartments when they stumble on a crystal that belonged to a very important Lantean high council member, the information has been classified (but for some reason not heavily encrypted). After going through it they get a location of a planet without a stargate where the Ancients revived one of their outdated energy generators which continuously provides the power of several ZPM getting Atlantis to far more than 100% powered, but was never used on Atlantis due to its enormous size (like the city actually can land on it, if you want to be adventurative the planet is built around the device).
Before the Ancients left an engineering team was being recalled when they almost had completed the generator. Their ship never made it back, and the Ancients at that point had no ships or resources left to confirm the authenticity or completion of the structure so it was over passed by the high council. Plus at that point the Ancients no longer wanted to be at war so they left.
The new commander allows one of the 304s to travel to the planet to check it out. When the 304 gets there the planet is uninhabited and the entire structure is complete. The new commander decides to relocate Atlantis once again and some scientists return to readjust the city systems to the new power source, a small contingent of marines and other scientist remain at the planet. When Atlantis arrives at the new planet, the structure is still there but the planet is far from uninhabited, a race of advanced people (tollan level?) are using the structure to power its own civilization built around the structure. The team is dumbstruck, not only have they lost a lot of power going there but also dont have enough power to return to New Lantea and live there comfortably, and several members of the expedition has vanished.
