    Dialing Destiny... From Pegasus!

    So here's something I've been wondering about. You know how the Lucian Alliance has a pesky habit of blowing up Icarus type planets and how the Langrans won't let us use their Stargate to dial in to Destiny? Well what if the folks in Atlantis found an Icarus type planet in the Pegasus Galaxy? Could they dial in or not?

    The reason I'm not exactly certain is that the code to Destiny is in Milky Way glyphs, including the Tau'ri point of origin. Likewise, Pegasus gates are newer so they may run on different software than their Milky Way counterparts. Could whatever program they used to override the MW DHD work on a Pegasus Gate?

    Don't see why not. Other than we don't know if there are any Icarus like planets.

      But we haven’t seen any Naquida based technology in the pegasus galaxy, It was all either Organic or Ancient. I think i saw a quote about the Pegasus gates being made of something other than Naquidah in another post a few years back but i can’t reference properly, sorry. But if we are unsure of the presence of Naquidah in the Pegasus than how can we be sure of Naquadria.

      Also i don’t see why a MW DHD wouldn’t work with Pegasus system gates. We've seen that the Pegasus dhd can be rigged to dial MW gate coordinates in "enemy at the gate."

        Atlantis is stranded on earth. PG is abadoned so no one knows about Destiny and so no one will try to dial.

          given that pegasus' metallicity is much lower than the MW's, i doubt it

            I think that, with Stargates, we have to remember that glyphs as printed on the gates themselves don't really exist. They're just a pretty visual indicator of what's going on (especially in a 9 chevron dial, where they don't even specify a location). For primitive cultures who only use DHDs, or for the Tau'ri who (at least used to) use a motor to turn the inner wheel, they're the only way to tell what address you're dialling, but once you plug in any sort of dialling device which actually interfaces with the gate's programming, you change the game totally. Entering the MW glyphs into a Pegasus gate may not be possible using an unmodified DHD, but whatever those glyphs instruct the gate to do, there's no reason it can't be reproduced with a little programming. We know that the Tau'ri (probably using Atlantis technology) can now interface with the gates directly, as they did with the intergalactic bridge, so even if Pegasus gates don't have 9-chevron dialling programs built into them (and an equivilent glyph code for Destiny in Pegasus symbols), there's no reason that the Tau'ri can't just upload one - or just bring an MW gate to Pegasus

              Big question, is that IS there a planet we could use?

                That would be nice.

                    After reading this thread, a thought came into my mind. What if you could just dial Destiny from within a star, like what they did in Twin Destinies? Of course, you have those pesky solar flares which can cause the whole time travel thing.

                      Atlantis is sitting in American territory and that will never change.

                        Cause other than the destiny itself, no other ship is configured to be able to survive sundiving.

                          True, but it probably wouldn't take them too long to configure a ship to do that. Either that our they could build a ship that could be capable of sundiving. With the Tau'ri being able to build a hyperdrive (with some help of course) in less than 20 years, I'm pretty sure they'd be able to build a ship that could sundive. The question now would be, would we want to?

                            Actually Atlantis was moved from San Francisco to the moon and then back to Pegasus.

                              Being most of our hyperdrives we got from elsewhere, how do you figure that?
