Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods Page #5

Come.

Let go of me.

Lovely. Full of life.

You could be the vessel

for my future queen.

Yes. Very nice, indeed.

But I am not the one

you must finally please.

(SPEAKING ALIEN LANGUAGE)

(MOANS)

(CREATURE SQUEALING)

A shame.

JACKSON:
So, I figured that

there had to be

more to this place, so I started exploring.

Just the area around the town

and the pyramid, at first.

Then after about a month,

I found this place.

Doctor, you're gonna love this.

CARTER:
Oh, my God!

This is the archeological find

of the century. There must be...

Thousands of lines of hieroglyphs.

ONEILL:
So, Daniel, have you had a chance

to translate this yet?

-I think so.

-What's it say?

Well, it doesn't say anything.

Actually, it's sort of a chart,

more of a map.

A map?

Of?

Well, I haven't been able

to analyze all of it.

I mean, look at it.

It would take my whole life.

Well, Daniel, we don't have

that much time.

What's it a map of?

JACKSON:
Well, the cartouches seem to be

separated clearly into groupings.

Each grouping is attached to the others

with a series of lines.

And each grouping of glyphs

contain seven symbols.

So you can see where

this is going, of course.

Why don't you tell us anyway?

All the symbols are on

the stargate in the Abydos chamber.

I've also managed to chart

some of them in the Abydos night sky,

or at least pretty close.

I think that this is a map of

a vast network of stargates.

Stargates that are all over the galaxy!

I don't think that can be, Doctor.

Why not?

Well, because after Colonel O'Neill

and his team came back,

my team ran hundreds

of symbol permutations,

using Earth as the point of origin,

and it never worked.

Then where did your Ra lookalike

come from?

Look, I don't pretend to know

anything about astrophysics,

but couldn't the planets change?

I mean, drift apart or something

like that to throw this map off?

-I knew I'd like you.

-Really?

I mean... You mean, I'm right?

CARTER:
The galaxy is a vortex.

All the stars are constantly moving

in relation to one another.

So in the thousands of years

since the stargate was built...

All the coordinates could've changed.

But why does it still work

between Abydos and Earth?

Well, Abydos is probably the closest

planet in the network to Earth.

I mean, the closer they are, the less

the difference in relative position.

The further away,

the greater the difference.

In a few thousand more years, it won't

work between Earth and Abydos either.

Unless you can adjust

for the displacement.

Right. Now, with this map as a base,

that should be easy.

All we have to do is correct

for stellar drift.

Then, I should be able to arrive

at a computer model
