"Where are Dr. McKay and Colonel Sheppard?" "Why'd you beam us back?" "Because I was about to fire a missile into the side of that ship." "They are in the pods." "They're both in pods now?" "Yes. Dr. McKay went in to see if the Wraith was preventing Colonel Sheppard from disengaging from the system." "I want a team assembled, ready to beam aboard the Aurora to disconnect Dr. McKay and Colonel Sheppard." "No, wait. Please, just a few more minutes." "ETA on the Wraith ships?" "Eleven minutes out." "I am certain he'll be out by then, and if he is successful, he will know if it is safe to disconnect Colonel Sheppard." "And if he's not out by then?" "Then we'll disconnect them both." "It would be wise to have a medical team standing by for both of them." "Alert the infirmary. I want a medical team standing by."

"Why isn't he on his radio?" "Well, actually, we have been having trouble reaching him ourselves. I think it might have something to do with interference from the, um, magnetic shielding of the pods." "Yeah. Shielding." "Ronon was just about to go and check on him, see what is taking him so long." "All right, go get him. Light a fire under him." "Right away." "I want a status report as soon as his radio is working. Caldwell out." "Nice stalling."

"Okay… All right. Looks like there's more than enough air in here. Right. Of course there is. Crew's been sealed inside these things for thousands of years…" "Are you all right?" "Yeah. It's just my claustrophobia. I'll be fine… I hope. Now, the system should engage once you send me in." "All right." "All right… So send me in?" "Oh, yes. Good luck." "Right."

"I'm going in. Look, stall Caldwell. Buy me some time — just a few minutes at the most." "What if you are unable to disconnect?" "Caldwell's going to blow that ship whether you're in there or not." "You see, the thing is, Colonel Sheppard and I have sort of gotten into this habit of saving each other's lives, and it's my turn. It can be your turn next. Look… Hit this to manually disconnect me. If I do not regain consciousness, go ahead and open Colonel Sheppard's pod. Have us beamed directly to Daedalus and make sure they have a medical team waiting." "Are you sure you want to do this?" "I'm sure I don't."

"What's he still doing there?" "He can come out any time he wants. There must be a good reason." "Knowing Sheppard, he wouldn't leave without getting the information from the communiqué." "I still don't like it." "The Wraith cannot physically harm him in there, can it?" "No… I don't think so. I don't know, but I should get back in there and learn what this Wraith is doing." "You've got fifteen minutes to figure it out, Doctor." "Fifteen? Where do you people come up with these arbitrary numbers!?" "That's the time you've got to learn what you need to, Doctor." "Why?" "Because I intend to destroy the Aurora before those Wraith ships get here." "Okay."

"Are there any more?" "Well, it's hard say, since you plucked us out of there the second you heard." "Ronon and I have searched the ship. I am certain there is only one." "The Wraith's tied in to the same neuro-feedback loop as the crew and Colonel Sheppard. But by the looks of it, they must have found Aurora a long time ago, certainly long enough to figure out how to access and reconfigure the system." "Given their apparent psychic abilities, is it possible the Wraith ships on the way are in communication with the Wraith aboard the Aurora?" "No. They need to be closer." "She's right. We’ve already determined that the range of Wraith psychic ability is limited." "So we can't risk those ships getting within that range." "I say we go back and kill it right now." "I agree." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop. Let's not get all trigger happy. We have no idea how much of the system this Wraith is manipulating. We need to figure out what is going on before we start shooting things. For all we know, that could kill Sheppard."

"What is it?" "Have a look." "This is Wraith gear. And it's recently installed." "There's a reason for that."

"More of the same." "Shh. I am counting. I do not want to lose my place." "I counted 376. No, wait. 398. I forgot about the infirmary. There was 22 in there…or was it 23? Sorry." "Where did she come from? Oh, no. Dr. McKay?" "Still here." "There's something you need to see. We are two decks directly below you." "Can't it wait?" "No."
