Suppose they did sent a MALP to Destiny? Then what? What would they have done? They couldn't disconnect from the lock they had on Destiny's gate and they only had about six minutes before the planet exploded with them on it, which would certainly result in them dying? You'd never be able to evacuate all those people (78) with luggage in the time left after sending a MALP. So why are you/we discussing this?

Originally posted by escyos View Postthey beamed in, if they couldnt beam then they wouldnt have been able to get down that way. if the core prevented beaming then eli, the senator, chloe and rush WOULDNT have been able to beam down, but they did., the bunker would refer to the base that is underground which is pretty much all of it. they have ways of preventing beam tech locking on to targets, so if the hammond tried to beam them in they could have beamed them over a cliff. based on what we saw and heard that is what happened.Originally posted by aretood2Jelgate is right

We'll never know if they could or couldn't do that.
They couldn't disconnect the gate.
That's okay, but first you need to get the facts right. Then it doesn't seem so foolhardy anymore.
and are you telling me that after dialling, when young cam in and went mad at rush, riley or one of the other techs wouldnt continue to try to disconnect or did they just sit their and twidle their thumbs?I'VE GONE WIKI-MAD!!!!

anyway, they WOULD have had a MALP CLOSE-BY to use when/if they connected and why they never bothered DESPITE the fact that there may or may not have been enough time to send it through.
even though there was enough time for young and greer to go to where the senator was trapped, talk to scott and send him back, surely in that minute or two they could have at least tried.
seems like they would have had a system to deploy the MALP quickly and send it through. i am SPECULATING based on the fact that a military base would take precautions so.....i dont know, THEY DONT ALL DIE IN A PAINFUL WAY!I'VE GONE WIKI-MAD!!!!

Originally posted by escyos View Postyes but they werent all travelling through in that six minutes, it was on for a bit beforehand
They all werent traveling through because they all werent in or near the gate room, at the time of the attack.. People were cut off, people needed medical attention and others had to get to their posts, all before it was decided to use the gate for evac.sigpic

Also, it's the Destiny we are talking about. The ninth-chevron-code address won't lead to just a gate in space. At least that's what Rush believes, and then at that moment, Young doesn't have any other choice that to trust and believe Rush. Why do you think there's such conflict between them from the get-go? From the moment on that Rush dialed the ninth chevron address the only thing they, Young included, could do, is to evacuate through the Stargate wherever it might lead them and take as much with them in the time alloted. And possibly hoping that they could dial Earth from their Destination (Destiny). Anything else is just losing time and counter-productive.
Okay, now let's assume the MALP is close by. Then let's assume they get it through the gate within those 6 minutes. Then let's assume that they can actually get back, receive the readings and interpret them. Assuming that the MALP survived the trip to Destiny and wasn't just thrown out of the gate into pieces like the evacuees. Then let's assume that the 6 minutes still haven't passed and the planet hasn't exploded yet, and that they aren't all dead yet.
So then you'd have the readings of the gate-room of the Destiny. What would they do? They can't just shut the gate down and dial somewhere else. Plus, the Destiny's gate-room is intact and atmosphere is breathable. So, why wouldn't they go?
And that's after all those assumptions. They'd have lost a whole lot of time. I mean, they are going to die, staying on Icarus. So, if the other side of that gate is also death, doesn't make much difference. They can't stay, and they can't go back to the Hammond, and they only have limited time before the planet explodes.A black hole swallowed this sig pic.
