What is Scott and Greer going to find? (speculation/comedy)

[Facial La Fleur]

At some point -- maybe not Scott and Greer but by someone -- the presence of an ascended ancient will most definitely be discovered, even if unintentional.

[Kanten]

Obligatory 'Franklin' response.

why not just walk to the side of the ship facing away from the orbiting stars. if you can survive within the ship with a single shield layer and a hull, 2 layers of shield and an entire ship between you and the radiation should be more than sufficient.

they're making it harder than it needs to be

a hamster in a threadwheel, coke, cola, beer,spirits, ghosts, aliens, ancients, BAG, Janus, Amelius, a black hole, a ZPM, magnets, naquahdriah, a Mark IX, a replicator, FRAN in leather, bug replicator, Xenomorphs, Predators, Chloe, Eli, Franklin, an ascended, two asgard, a Furling and three nox.


that's probably 90% of all replies to come

In addition to all that, they find Jimmy Hoffa's body in stasis and Elvis eating a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Hoffa can unionize the LA.

And Rodney McKay being chased by an anthromorphic lemon

AHA I actually have a sciency answer based on stuff from the ep not just stuff I made up! Woohoo!

Ahem. Anyway, when discussing how they could change the shield strength they (I think it was the scientist chick) said that they could put the majority of shield strength on the side facing the pulsar but that they would still need minimal shield on the side facing away. The reason for this is because when exposed to radiation or other energy like that the energy wave would be strongest on the near side, but it would also wrap around the ship to a certain extent, affecting the other side although to a far lesser degree. Maybe there would be one spot right in the middle of the ship on the far side which would not be affected but it would be a bit risky to bet your life on that.

Also they need the entire ship to be encompassed in some kind of shield when they go to FTL don't they?

Lest we forget: we've seen concept art for the bridge already. It was one of the drawings released prior to the premiere.

Cool I must have missed that I don't read his blog daily. Any chance you can link that one?

[pipi]

I want them to find an Ancient weapons room. Maybe some sort of stun gun, would be handy against the Lucian Alliance.

Amelia Earhart

[fmbchris]

A half Franklin half Robot Virus type entity. After making friends with it by feeding it some Beef Jerky that Greer has packed in his suit, the three of them together kill everone that would hurt Destiny! And then have a drink at Brody's

That to me would have made more sense than sendin them running for an opening far enough away they have a TIGHT window to make it.

A port-a-John with all the secrets of destiny written in shat house wall logic.

i'll buy that to some extent, the ship isn't exactly 'smooth lines' though,

go to far side of ship, find highest ridges/deepest gullies(for want of better descriptions), hunker down, boast for weeks how you survived a binary pulsar blast in just a spacesuit............. because thats just how awesome you are!!

I'd just like to add that the dimensions of Destiny does not make it easy to run from one side to the other, compared with running up and down one side. That probably plays second to the theory that everything outside the shield will be vaporised due to the gamma rays wrapping around the ship.
