Stargate: The Ark of Truth Page #6

They'll stop at nothing to destroy me.

I will not rest

until they're all wiped from existence.

I wish you hadn't inherited

my determination.

Sir, long range sensors just picked up

seven Ori mother ships

exiting hyperspace

in our solar system.

I've Colonel Ellis for you.

General, we have visual

of enemy contacts.

They appear to be holding position, Sir.

- For the moment.

- Yes, Sir.

Why do you think that is, Sir?

The weapons platform

in Antartica is incapable

of defending the planet

against seven Ori ships.

So why are they waiting?

Yes, Sir.

I don't know. Just be glad

they're giving us a little more time.

Sir, given how seriously

outgunned we are,

I don't see how a little

more time really helps

or what could possibly

save us at this point.

I was hoping...

SG-1 might show up at some point.

- Yes, Sir.

- I tell you this much,

we're not going down without a fight.

Landry out.

We just dropped out of hyperspace.

That's funny, I was just thinking

we couldn't get anymore screwed.

The Replicators took back

navigation and hyperdrive control.

Four Ori mother ships

just appeared on sensors!

Kill me!

Believe me, I'm trying.

They did this to get

the self-destruct code.

What is it?

Tell me!

I don't know.

It's on the other side of the crystal.

It's not over.

Don't give up.

You're not Merlin.

I'm here to help you.

Then help me.

You must find the strength.

Nope.

No.

No, I've had it.

You know, I'm really not

in the mood for games right now.

You're not a figment of my imagination

and you're not...

Merlin.

You're Morgan le Fey.

You're delirious.

Merlin died.

He didn't ascend.

His consciousness left me and it's...

it's gone.

The Ancients must be able to see

through your disguise, I know I can.

I just don't know

why you think it's necessary.

You were once ascended.

You know how complicated it can be.

Interfering with the lower planes

is not allowed.

Yeah I know.

I did it myself more than once.

Helping me is forbidden and letting me

know you're helping me, well, that's...

worse.

I did it once and they stopped me.

I was exiled for it.

Yet, here you are.

Merlin saw the Ori for what they were.

He knew they needed to be stopped.

I was the one who prevented him

from doing it the first time.

You kept him alive.

You helped us find him.

I realized he was right.

The Ori were going

to destroy the Ancients.

No matter they want to admit it or not,

we saved them.

I think we deserve

the Ancients' help in return.

So I believe.

Then help us.

I've done all I can.

No, you can do more.

You can do much more,

and you have to.

Not on my own.

She's too powerful for me.

She...

you mean Adria, don't you?

She took on the mantle of the Ori.

Yeah, I was afraid of that.

- She has their galactic power.

- Then take it away from her.

And not just for our sake.

I've distracted her,

I've helped you when you needed me.

I promise you, Daniel,

I've done all I can.

No.

You need only use the Ark

on one Prior.

The crystals in their staffs

are linked to one another.

It's how the Doci communicates

with all at once.

If you can turn just one of them,

Adria's power will be

greatly diminished.

How?

How?

Carter, I hope you can hear this.

The self-destruct program

is on the other side of the crystal.

The program for the self-destruct

is on the other side of the crystal.

Oh, hell.

Tomin.

Tomin, it's Vala.

Now, come on.

Come on!

Come here.

Listen.

Everything's gonna be okay,

I promise.

Can you pull yourself together?

Good.

Now, I want you

to help me find Daniel.

I'm right here.

You guys okay?

I don't feel very good.

Let's find the Ark.

Come.

Oh, give me a break.

Shields are at 18%,

hyperdrive is still offline.

And then she just suddenly disappeared

somewhere as if she had

something really important to do.

And when I turned around, about

seven symbols on the Ark were glowing.

- It was Morgan.

- Is she helping, because

- if she is, I don't understand...

- Which seven symbols?

You don't expect me to remember?

I expect you to remember

clue given to you

an ascended being.

, more like

a bright light when I turned around,

-- look for you.

- Which ones?

One here, two here,

two here, and two there.

- Does it come in any order?

- No, all at once.

- Of course.

- Someone's coming.

Okay, seven symbols.

Just make a guess.

- "Veramas" is truth in Ancient.

- Good.

Two there.

I guess not.

This is Colonel Mitchell of the Earth

ship Odyssey. We surrender.

Please cease fire.

Repeat, we surrender.

Sam?

I don't think they're gonna stop.

I have to get the hyperdrive back

in time. We can't take much more.

It's over.

You can't win.

There's only one path,

the power and glory of Origin.

Adria.

I'm sorry.

Wish things could have been different.

- Me too.

So, what are you gonna do?

We're obviously never

going to agree.

Are you gonna kill me now?

No! You can't take away my power.

I think we just did.

You will all burn

in the fires of eternal damnation.

Not if I have anything to do with it.

You're no match for me.

I am now.

What?

What did he say?

I don't understand.

He said:
"Have mercy,

"I was blind, but now I see."

Sam!

Why did they stop?

I don't know,

but I'm glad they did.

It was "Origin".

What was?

The keyword that activated the Ark.

I realized while Adria was talking,

the word also means

truth, in older dialects.

I guess the Alteran that built it

must have thought it was ironic.

You know, I'm starting to think

that irony is very overrated.

Have you reconsidered?

No.

I do not understand.

Take it.

We have something to show you.

What is the meaning of this?

See for yourself.

Hey.

Hey.

- How did it go?

- Worked like a charm.

Daniel was right.

The Priors' staffs still all seemed

to be connected somehow.

Were they in each galaxy?

whatever subspace link connects

them is obviously somewhat limited.

when Daniel opened the Ark

,

everyone seemed to get the message.

- The ships backed off.

- Yep.

Sorry I missed it.

How are you doing?

You know,

I've felt worse.

Well, apparently, when you're feeling

better, the IOA wants to meet with you.

Really?

Something about an apology.

I don't know. My recovery

could take a while.

Yeah. Not too long I hope.

- No.

- Oh, sorry.

It's okay.

I guess maybe that hurts a little.

I'll...

let you rest.

Sam.

Yeah.

What's in the bag?

My God. I almost forgot.

I baked these for you.

Macaroons.

I'm sure they're not as good

as your grandma's.

Nice recall.

Cheek okay?

Yeah.

You're going to make a great leader.

When I was being tortured

by the Prior,

the teachings of Origin

gave me the strength I needed.

There are still so many things about it

that mean a great deal to me.

I don't doubt that there is morality and

wisdom in it, that's what made it

a such powerful law for so many people.

I think in principle

the idea of bettering ourselves and

seeking Ascension,
