They were filled with some sort of streaming code. 207 00:18:13,509 --> 00:18:18,097 That's impossible. They always display the status of these specific systems. 208 00:18:19,181 --> 00:18:20,433 I know what I saw, pallan. 209 00:18:20,725 --> 00:18:22,685 I'm afraid you must be mistaken. 210 00:18:37,116 --> 00:18:37,575 So, what do we know? 211 00:18:37,867 --> 00:18:40,628 Well, their technology's incredible. At least what's left of it. 212 00:18:40,911 --> 00:18:43,664 Right now, pallan and I are trying to rig up a computer interface, 213 00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:46,125 so I can download some of the specs. 214 00:18:55,009 --> 00:18:56,927 Do they wish anything in return? 215 00:18:57,219 --> 00:18:57,470 Apparently not. 216 00:18:57,762 --> 00:18:59,802 They seem quite happy with their situation as it is. 217 00:19:00,014 --> 00:19:03,643 See, that makes no sense to me. These people live in a bubble. 218 00:19:03,934 --> 00:19:06,520 Well, they have managed to survive for over 400 years. 219 00:19:06,812 --> 00:19:10,107 Sometimes there is more to life than mere survival. 220 00:19:10,608 --> 00:19:12,818 We could offer them relocation. 221 00:19:14,654 --> 00:19:16,364 Yeah, I suppose. 222 00:19:17,615 --> 00:19:20,076 Are you suggesting we leave the dome? 223 00:19:20,368 --> 00:19:21,648 We're just saying it's possible. 224 00:19:21,911 --> 00:19:24,872 There are many suitable worlds where your people could live. 225 00:19:25,164 --> 00:19:27,750 But we have everything we need right here. 226 00:19:28,209 --> 00:19:28,876 Except room to grow. 227 00:19:29,168 --> 00:19:32,963 We're talking about fresh water, fresh air, mountains, trees... 228 00:19:33,255 --> 00:19:36,092 We can experience all these things through the link. 229 00:19:36,384 --> 00:19:38,010 You gotta be kidding me. 230 00:19:38,302 --> 00:19:43,432 It is a very generous offer, colonel, but this is our home. 231 00:19:43,724 --> 00:19:46,102 What about the other folks in the town? 232 00:19:46,394 --> 00:19:49,105 Some of them have to think differently. 233 00:19:49,397 --> 00:19:51,107 The council speaks for the town. 234 00:19:51,399 --> 00:19:54,193 And the council's decision is unanimous. 235 00:19:54,485 --> 00:19:56,125 Well, what about the other council member? 236 00:19:56,404 --> 00:19:57,738 The woman that was here? 237 00:19:59,490 --> 00:20:03,577 There hasn't been a woman on the council since the last election, 238 00:20:03,994 --> 00:20:06,122 and that was two years ago. 239 00:20:06,414 --> 00:20:06,956 What're you talking about? 240 00:20:07,248 --> 00:20:08,392 There was a woman sitting there yesterday. 241 00:20:08,416 --> 00:20:13,587 Colonel, I can assure you the council has always consisted of three members. 242 00:20:32,481 --> 00:20:33,023 I spoke to pallan. 243 00:20:33,315 --> 00:20:37,236 He claims to have no memory of there ever being a fourth council member. 244 00:20:37,528 --> 00:20:39,280 She was just there yesterday. 245 00:20:39,572 --> 00:20:41,332 Maybe the link has something to do with this? 246 00:20:41,615 --> 00:20:44,577 If it can be used to download information directly into people's brains, 247 00:20:44,869 --> 00:20:48,664 maybe it can also be used to alter their perceptions or memories. 248 00:20:51,709 --> 00:20:53,429 Perhaps the councilwoman opposed the others, 249 00:20:53,461 --> 00:20:55,181 and they felt it necessary to be rid of her. 250 00:20:55,337 --> 00:20:56,440 So they erased her from existence? 251 00:20:56,464 --> 00:20:58,144 That seems a little harsh, don't you think? 252 00:20:58,382 --> 00:21:00,843 Well, the bottom line is we can't trust these people. 253 00:21:01,135 --> 00:21:04,889 Well, sir, I'd still like to finish my research on the dome technology. 254 00:21:05,181 --> 00:21:06,450 Yeah, maybe there's something in the archive 255 00:21:06,474 --> 00:21:07,892 that can shed some light on this. 256 00:21:08,184 --> 00:21:09,911 The behavior of the townspeople does seem odd, 257 00:21:09,935 --> 00:21:12,688 but they don't appear to be an immediate threat. 258 00:21:15,566 --> 00:21:18,152 All right, see what you can find out. 259 00:21:31,123 --> 00:21:33,459 How's it coming? —well, 260 00:21:33,751 --> 00:21:35,270 I still can't find any historical reference 261 00:21:35,294 --> 00:21:37,338 to the time period when the dome was first created. 262 00:21:37,630 --> 00:21:39,715 By that time our people had begun using the link. 263 00:21:40,007 --> 00:21:43,886 It's possible not much written material survives from that era. 264 00:21:45,387 --> 00:21:47,640 Let me ask you something, um... 265 00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:52,478 If you had the chance to—to leave the dome, and, uh... 266 00:21:52,770 --> 00:21:56,065 And go live on another planet, would you take it? 267 00:21:56,357 --> 00:21:59,235 Pallan told me about the conversation you had with the council. 268 00:21:59,527 --> 00:22:03,322 And? —we have everything we need right here. 269 00:22:04,156 --> 00:22:05,241 That's what they said. 270 00:22:05,533 --> 00:22:07,773 We hope that someday the poison in the outside atmosphere 271 00:22:07,827 --> 00:22:10,037 will dissipate and we'll be able to reclaim the planet. 272 00:22:10,329 --> 00:22:13,165 But not in your lifetime. —no. 273 00:22:14,208 --> 00:22:15,208 What about children?

279 00:22:26,053 --> 00:22:30,266 Limited resources dictate that we maintain the population at a certain level. 280 00:22:30,558 --> 00:22:33,102 How many people are we talking about here, exactly? 281 00:22:33,394 --> 00:22:37,815 At this precise moment?

No one ever has. 285 00:22:59,461 --> 00:23:01,213 Try the interface now... 286 00:23:03,173 --> 00:23:04,383 We got it. 287 00:23:09,346 --> 00:23:11,640 You believe this technology will be useful on your world? 288 00:23:11,932 --> 00:23:15,311 Why don't you and your wife come back with us and see for yourselves? 289 00:23:15,603 --> 00:23:17,062 Oh! 290 00:23:17,563 --> 00:23:18,981 Just for a visit. 291 00:23:20,024 --> 00:23:23,319 Do you have oceans? —oceans, deserts, rainforests... 292 00:23:23,611 --> 00:23:25,863 It would take a lifetime to see it all. 293 00:23:26,488 --> 00:23:28,157 It sounds wonderful. 294 00:23:28,616 --> 00:23:30,075 Wait a minute... 295 00:23:30,492 --> 00:23:34,079 You said these were the power utilization figures, right? 296 00:23:34,371 --> 00:23:35,371 That's right. 297 00:23:35,623 --> 00:23:37,333 What's a normal variation? 298 00:23:37,625 --> 00:23:39,627 Between .01 and .07%. 299 00:23:40,502 --> 00:23:41,795 Well, then we've got a problem. 300 00:23:42,087 --> 00:23:46,342 These levels are least 2% lower than when we first came down here. 301 00:23:46,634 --> 00:23:48,093 No, that can't be. 302 00:23:53,349 --> 00:23:57,353 No, you're mistaken.

But it's never come up. 314 00:24:45,067 --> 00:24:46,402 Colonel O'Neill! 315 00:24:46,694 --> 00:24:48,254 Colonel, is it true, what they're saying? 316 00:24:48,278 --> 00:24:50,656 You've offered to take us through the gate to another world?
