Perhaps the LA found an Ancient base/outpost from the same time period as Destiny that used the same type of doors, and that's how they were able to develop the devices.

They're exactly what they seem to be: Magic Ancient Door Openers. They're basically auto-lockpicks designed to open doors, although they may only work with Ancient technology.
My guess is that they were found in the Milky Way some time ago, and the LA got their hands on them. When they learned about Destiny from Telford, they figured that they would be very useful here, so they sent them to Kiva's base.

Ships don't randomly incinerate people because they cut through a wall. It was clearly shown to be some form of radiation coming in through the shield, and there are various theories as to why the shield fluctuated and what the hell the destiny is sitting near that is putting out such an inordinately, indescribably intense load of radiation.
Or the blues are sitting outside and were trying to make a peace offering to Young. Who knows?

Originally posted by MattSilver 3k View PostI wonder if the LA found an outpost or something with some Destiny details in it, including lock picks or their schematics or something. It'd be interesting if they want Destiny because of something they learnt in this outpost/Ancient Wal-Mart..."Goodbye Eli Wallace, you're a good man."

Originally posted by kwlafayette View PostNot all knowing, but you would think there would actually be something in there. It appears that nothing important was ever put into the Atlantis database.
Nope, nothing at all.

Destiny was launched from here, you know...
If it wasn't launched from Earth, here's what I think happened:
You don't go to the middle of nowhere to build a ship. You use a drydock. That drydock would probably have the same level of technology (particularly, door design) as the ship you're building. Its computers would also contain a lot of design information and blueprints about the ship you're building.
After you launch the ship, any number of things can happen over the next million years causing the gate address to be lost. Remember, this was a looooooong time before the Goa'uld arrived on the scene. So, the Goa'uld never found the planet, but somehow the Lucian Alliance did, and they figured out Destiny's mission, its technology, and how its doors worked.

Originally posted by dgh64 View PostAre you sure it was launched from Earth? I think in the pilot Rush said it was launched from "here" but he could've been talking about "somewhere in the Milky Way". The Ancients were doing things on a lot of planets all over the place, and there wasn't anything particularly special about Earth (except that that's where Atlantis was parked for a while, but that was millions of years later).
