Re: Peltas Five Space Station
Talok looked over the specs, nodding that things should be compatible.
"Their size will make it impossible to bring them inside the facility, but by that point most resistance will likely have been dealt with. As for personnel, at this time we are expecting a good majority of the Alveran's to beam down, as well as Jaffa from the Gou'ald ships. The Alveran ships each will have seventy man crews, and the ships can be run with only one person remaining behind, provided they interface either with the chair or a neural link. As for the Hatak, the last I checked Camulus had over a thousand Jaffa spread over a dozen or so ships. I would imagine if we need that kind of force we'd have it, though I doubt Nirrti has that many forces. All indications are she has at most three hundred loyal Jaffa to her."
After waiting a bit more time, Siphon grumbled.
"Alright, we need to get moving, our window is shrinking."
He turned to a young man near the dialing device and said, "Tobias, go ahead and dial the gate and send the remote. If we're viable to go with atmosphere then we go through now. Corax can join us on the other side when he arrives."
With a curt nod, the young man dialed the gate, and shortly after the whoosh of the forming wormhole flew out. A moment later a small round device lifted off the ground and flew through the gate. Several seconds later, Sho and Siphon were staring at readings that were, surprisingly, in English. Siphon had that knowing look to his eyes, which meant this probably had been programmed in part by him, though that was replaced by a small smile quickly.
"Viable atmosphere, sensor readings indicate a large room perhaps two hundred meters across that is structurally intact. Ah, and we have a visual."
As the visual came up, Sho could see the room was quite large, with several staircases lining the sides of the room. It appeared this room was to floors in one, and filled with what seemed to be consoles. It was mostly darkened, however there was a faint light coming from the stargate and the probe itself. Then, Siphon turned the probe using the control device he had, and it panned to reveal several surprises.
The first being an incredible display of what seemed to be colored glass near one of the stairwells, glass that, in the light of the probe and gate, revealed what seemed to be a darkness behind it. It took them a moment to realize the way the color changed depending on the light angle that on the other side of that glass was an unknown amount of water, which clearly rose far above the window.
The second, as the probe completed it's turn, was the stargate itself. It wasn't like the uniform metallic ones from this galaxy, or the shiny blue colored type Siphon had been constructing as of late. No, this gate was lit up on the sides by what at first seemed to be random white dots on it, and the chevrons were a teal color instead of the red they were used to seeing. Sho could see Siphon's eyes looking over the dots, and then suddenly his eyes raised wide open.
"My god, those dots ... they're actually the lit symbols indicating OUR gate address. The gate can actually display the address of the wormhole dialing in. This ... this is FAR beyond what we've been able to accomplish with our own network. And see those small metallic blips at the 'corners' of the gate? Those look a lot like the shield emitters we use on the ship bound gates. They aren't active right now though, which is good."
He was silent for a very long moment, taking all of it in, probably preparing himself to see it up close and personal. Then, taking a deep breath, he looked at Sho.
"You ready to step through?"
((After Sho is ready I'll make a thread for Atlantis itself. Idk where Bartnum is so I'm leaving it open for him to join whenever.))
