Stargate: The Ark of Truth Page #5

you can do better than that, can't you?

We've been a tremendous

pain in your proverbial backside.

You don't really expect me

to believe that you...

you've just been saving

the best for last, do you?

What's wrong?

You guys are never speechless.

I'll tell you what I think.

I say this move

reeks of desperation.

You're not all that sure to slam-dunk.

Your defences are no match

for the might of the Ori

which shall rain down Apocalypse upon...

Right, right, here's a news flash.

The Ori are dead.

We killed them.

Sent a weapon devised by a ex-Ancient

through the Supergate,

and wiped them all out.

These beings you call gods,

the ones who lied to you,

manipulated you,

for their own selfish

power-hungry reasons

are gone.

And everything you think

you're doing in their name

is entirely without meaning.

I was wrong.

You are not courageous, General.

You are without reason.

Your planet will burn

in all the depths of darkness.

We'll see about that.

There is one thing I do know for sure.

If we're going to hell,

then you're coming with us.

You go ahead and burst

into flames if you like.

Sir, we think we've traced the problem

to the rear auxiliary

control room in your level.

Copy that.

All personnel, this is Colonel Mitchell.

Please report, I got it.

Oh, sh*t!

They seem to be living up to their name.

more than one at this point.

- How many?

- A lot.

The original has probably

converted into a queen by now.

it's likely stationary.

Other Replicators will bring it

it will then use to create new blocks.

That's what you're looking for

at this point.

Cam?

Cam!

Daniel, for goodness sake,

stop fussing,

- and just open it!

- Wait, wait, wait!

What was supposed to happen?

Nothing.

I don't think it's turned on.

Maybe it's broken.

Perhaps its power source

has been depleted.

It is millions of years old.

- I don't think it's turned on.

Well, turn it on then.

I think...

it has something to do with

these symbols.

They look like buttons.

Perhaps we should examine

more closely on the surface.

Good idea.

Cam!

Cam, are you there? Please respond.

Sorry about that Sam,

I ran out of ammo and had to hide.

Copy.

Colonel?

Four Ori mother ships on sensors.

They're moving to surround us.

Got it. Jumping to hyperspace.

Odyssey, this is Teal'c. Come in.

Odyssey, this is Teal'c. Come in.

Teal'c!

I assume you haven't found

the magic shut off switch?

No. The Replicators are going to come

after the core sooner or later.

I don't know why they haven't yet.

- Consolidating their numbers?

- Whatever they're trying to do,

eventually, they're going to want

to take total control of this ship.

In order to do that,

'll have to get into this room.

We should stop them from doing that.

I got people trapped all over the place.

Replicators have blocked down most

of the elevators and bulkheads.

Trying to restrict the crew movement.

They've also shutdown systems

all over the ship.

It takes a lot of power to replicate.

My guess is the queen has set up shop

somewhere close to a main conduit.

Position all the personnel you have

right here, protect that room

- at all cost.

- We should probably weld the door shut.

- You won't be able to get out.

- If the Replicators make it

gonna matter.

- Do it. I'm going to go find the queen.

How?

Like grandma said,

you want honey, follow the bees.

Sounds like a good way

of getting stung to me.

Hey!

Hello?

Let me out of here.

Anybody?

Help!

Daniel Jackson?

Vala Mal Doran?

Odyssey... This is Teal'c.

Do you read me?

Odyssey, this is Teal'c.

Can you hear me?

God!

Your gods cannot save you now,

Daniel Jackson.

Well... That's just a statement

of general dissatisfaction.

Please, mercy.

They're comin'.

Carter, I found it.

It's in an access tube

off cargo hold three.

That's good.

Now get the hell out of there.

- You don't want me to blow it up?

- Not yet.

Sam,

it's making more of

those little buggers right now.

Destroying the Queen will likely draw

directly to you.

Not a good plan until

we have the shutdown code.

Right.

Besides, they're not coming

after the core just yet.

When they do, we may need

the distraction to draw them away.

Copy that.

This program is huge.

That could take weeks to go through.

- Skim.

- What if I miss it?

It's a base directive. It's like the one

that tells them to replicate.

Only this one,

when transmitted on a certain frequency,

will command them to disassemble.

It should stand out.

What the hell?

So much for the rumors.

- Oh no!

- What?

I asked the core to analyze the program

looking for the shutdown command.

- It says there isn't one.

- Can we write one?

Already started.

Good to see you, Mother.

Or should I call you Vala?

I believe you renounced our

blood relation last time I saw you.

Seems you have

no blood left to speak of.

You'll be somewhat satisfied to know

that Merlin's weapon did work.

The Ori were destroyed.

Really?

Somehow,

you and your simple human friends

managed to destroy quite a large group

of very powerful ascended beings.

Well, we're a very determined bunch.

I always say you never know

what you can do until you try.

I agree.

You don't seem too cut up about it.

No.

The energy transferred to

the Ori by their human followers

used to be spread out among many.

Now that I have ascended,

I get it all.

If you don't kill us all first.

It's a shame I can't use

your little discovery

to convince everyone

in your galaxy to follow me.

It would be much more humane.

Not as much fun, though.

Not wanting to give you any ideas

but why can't you use the Ark?

It's just not the same.

People need to be convinced

to see me for what I really am.

A spoiled brat with a God complex.

No, Mother.

The Ark can only be programmed

to make people believe what is true.

Once the Ancients have been destroyed,

I will be a being

of unchallengeable power, worshipped

by all those beneath me.

A true god by any definition,

wouldn't you say?

You know, I think we really...

We got off on the wrong foot.

Who am I kidding?

I knew you were an a**hole

the moment we met.

Colonel,

we're running out of ammo, here.

Cam, we could really use

that distraction now.

Roger that, Sam.

I'm working on it.

We're being overrun.

You need to draw them away.

I'm on it ASAP.

You're looking for this?

Did I drop that?

You'd mind flipping that switch

and blowing us both up, would you?

Why do you need to take on the Ancients?

Seriously, how many human worshippers

do you really need?

Can't you just live with

what you have and be happy?

I mean, my own mother

used to say to me: "Vala,

happiness is not something you can buy."

Or in my case, steal.

- But I think the point is...

- They are a threat to me.

From what I understand,

they don't even care about you.

They saw the Ori as a threat

and they did nothing about that.

That's what you chose to believe.

They gave you the means

to destroy the Ori.
