McKay set his jaw stubbornly, staring up at the Gate. This wasn't right. None of this was right. This was, in all ways, in all possible definitions, very, very wrong.

For starters, what functioning Stargate came without a DHD drive and its crystals. Sure, some freakish peon-minded villager or idiot peasant might have destroyed it, but why? Why ( Read more... )

Carter had no idea what was going on. She'd heard whispers, rumours of a ring-like device found off in the jungle - a Stargate? The possibility had excited her so much she'd almost shot herself in the foot.

She was sweaty-faced and panting when she stumbled up upon it at last; spotting McKay nearby, she walked over to him and said, "What's going on? Tell me everything. Start from the beginning." Her eyes were on the Gate...or whatever it was.

McKay turned to find Carter approaching and gestured to the Gate. "You would think this was great news," he laughed darkly. "Take a closer look. Notice anything missing?" His words were sharp.

It only took a glance. "A DHD." That did not bode well. "It doesn't work? I heard some people went through it."

"Well, they did. But if defies all the laws of time and space." God, he hated it when people did that. "We are so screwed."

Carter pressed her lips together into a tight line. "Do you have a computer that can interface with this...Gate?" She was all business. The prospect of being able to get off this island had suddenly presented itself after weeks of being stranded here, and she wasn't about to pass it up.

...Of course, it occured to her whatever on the other side of the Gate might be worse than this, but right now, she was willing to give it a go.

McKay just headed over and crouched down, pushing aside the unearthed dirt. "See?" he pointed to the new symbols. "One on each side, that's another two symbols, that's...god, that's at least thirty-six new Gate addresses out there. This thing might not even go back to Earth or Atlantis!"

He was somehow keeping his calm, miraculously.

"Believe it or not, that did actually occur to me," Carter said dryly. She pushed a hand through her hair, stared at the gate thoughtfully for a moment, and then looked back at McKay. "We have to get it working again," she stated.

allround_genius February 25 2006, 04:57:15 UTC

McKay bit back the obvious remark, but only because it was Carter. And just barely. "Yes," he finally said, exhaling it. "Obviously, but we are missing the key component to getting it to work again!"

major_sam February 25 2006, 05:01:32 UTC

"We got the Earth Stargate working without a DHD," Carter said. Never mind that it had taken years. "We'll find some way. We have to."

allround_genius February 25 2006, 05:03:54 UTC

McKay gave a sharp sound of frustration. "How is this even possible. None of us came from here, so if there was Gate activity, it would have to be here!" he snapped.

major_sam February 25 2006, 05:08:58 UTC

"I don't know," Carter said stiffly. "Nothing about this place makes sense. Nothing. And sitting around griping about it isn't going to change that!" She didn't usually get this annoyed, but McKay was getting on her nerves, and the appearance of this Gate had ruffled her feathers.

She slipped off her backpack and threw it down, circling the Gate with her brow furrowed. "Got to be a way," she muttered. Perhaps she'd be able to use her radio...or something....anything.

allround_genius February 25 2006, 05:11:38 UTC

"We'll have to find it!" McKay spat back, definitely just as frustrated. He yanked up his console and headed back to sit by the chevrons of the gate, working at them.

major_sam February 25 2006, 05:19:02 UTC

Carter closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them, she looked a lot calmer. "Fine. You stay here. I'll search the island and see if I can find the DHD. Use the radio if you need to contact me." Really, she just wanted to get away from McKay. Maybe it was the left-over resentment from their...encounter...the other week, but he was definitely rubbing her the wrong way.

She picked up her backpack and made sure her various weapons - P-90, Zat, 9mm - were secure. She might need them to shoot dinosaurs. Or whoever had put this Gate here. Who knew.
