The ascended on the ship ?

[0datdude0]

I was wondering the ship always seems to be just where it needs to be even if the data its working on it out of date. Do you think there could be an ancient just sticking with the ship to see what comes of it?

I have a pet belief that the ship is at least partly sentient. Maybe that's the original Ancient version of acsension before they learned another way? But yep, definitely, there's something very interesting that the ship gives them what they need when they need it (even if they don't know they don't need it, like in Faith.)

Well we know the ascended watch us closely out of curiosity. Look back to the end of season 8 in "Threads" Daniel was given a news paper by Anubis that showed the ascended talking about how the wraith were about to attack Atlantis.

[garhkal]

Yup. Though whether that ancient is helping out, or just "nudging a little" is still up in the air.

[escyos]

i doubt it. their is a range to what the ascended can see/whatever they do and why would they care about lower beings anyway

[james123182]

well the ancients have shown that they don't really bother out of peg and mw, look at the ori galaxy. maybe there is one breakoff gouy breaking their rules? faith planet could have been him

[magictrick]

Its been shown in the past they don't really care about our lower plane of existence. But anything is possible.

there are other ascended beings than the Ancients

In theory. But we have never seen any ascended besides Ancients

[Jackdoc]

That's an interesting theory, Even with Atlantis the city never acted on its own like Destiny has done... I suppose that will be explained when they meet up with the other ship, when they reach (If there is one) their destination.

[Zatarc]

Hmmm, interesting idea.

I'd lean more towards a sentient ship rather than a an Ascended Ancient being onboard.

Now that I think about it, I'm surprised the theme of sentient ships has been more prevailent in the Stargate Universe. Especially considering the fact that it is not entire unlikey for some form AI/machine self-awareness taking place here in the next 20-30 years, surely advance star faring races would come across the same thing during their own technological development?

Didn't they say they weren't the first. The ascended ancients basically follow the rules set by 'the others' as they called them. If I'm not mistaken, they talk about it in or around the episode in which Daniel ascends.

Still haven't seen any ascended figures besides Altereans. Saying and showing are two separate things

[garhkal]

Maye it is one of those Others who are manipulatig the ship. BUT doing it in such a way the humans won't suspect. AND they could have also been the ones to make the "Faith" planet.

Anubis, kinda.
