What do those crates contain?

[YutheGreat]

The ancient crates on the cargo bay?
Guns
Equipment
Food
Clothes
Scrubber powder

I wonder why didn't they check those for the scrubbers?

[Xiphias]

Why would they not? You can't assume you saw everything they did to attempt to solve the problem.
Also, since those crates are filled with thousands of ping-pong balls, they aren't very helpful.

Hmm, the Ancients played ping-pong. How.....presumptious.

scott told them not to open anything for good reason plus they already had an alternate option of getting calcium for the scrubber

The crates have million year-old saltine crackers still as fresh as when Janus went back to the future to supply the Ancients with their drug of choice,

Spoiler:

Sodium Chloride, Brine, Saline, Salt

You forgot their chemical formula, NaCl. Although you did type it out properly.

They have the blueprints and supplies for the Ancients to set up Starbucks all over the Universe.

Ok well if thoes crates contained what they needed when rush did a search on the ship it would of said they are in storage crates not go to this planet for it. What do they contain? Im sure we will find out.

I don't know what the Ancient crates contain & Scott told them NOT to open them for a reason - they didn't know what the hell is in them & whether or not they were dangerous; so they left good enough alone (ever hear of the saying 'curiosity killed the cat'? Sometimes being too curious & not cautious enough can get you in worlds of trouble - look what happened when Sheppard woke the entire collective & what happened with Ra & the Goa'uuld. ).

The Ascended knows whats in them (although I am sure we're bound to find out sooner or later), & they had the more pressing concern of exploring/securing their surroundings, making sure the Destiny was safe to inhabit/nothing on board posed a threat to the evacuees from Icarus Base & the more immediate concern of breathing.

I am liking the fact that the ship is old & falling apart & that they don't know everything or can immediately fix everything with the dues ex machina of the week/episode. Guess we'll just have to watch & find out.

Wouldn't it be funny... they never bother to open those crates, but towards the end of the series, say six years later, someone decides to take a look inside of them...

They find all the supplies they could ever need, Zpms, clothes, food, and a way to stop the ship and get them back home...

I bet they'd feel stupid.

The crates contain plot devices.

[_Ancients_]

They referenced them in Air: Part 1 when they were doing inventory but haven't opened them yet as far as we know. How long before they crack those open and what will be in them?

Spoiler:

They will probably find the liquid that goes into the air scrubbers! lol

That would be the worst kind of irony. I wonder if they'll ever open them...though I'd imagine they would
