NOTES OF INTEREST:
Upon the birth of the Orici, the Prior quotes: "Calium videre eessit, et eraos ad sidera tollere vultus. She belongs to all who follow the path. Ex uno disce omnes (From one, all will learn). She is Orici. Such is her purpose. In this vast expanse that is sheltered by evil and led astray, she will be the beacon of light in the darkness to the warriors of the Ori and to all who follow the true path to salvation. With the wisdom of the ages, she will lead us to glorious victory over any and all unbelievers."
The Orici is the Ori's way of cheating the ascended rule book. They couldn't encroach on our galaxy themselves without getting into a confrontation with the Ancients, so they used Vala to sneak one of their own into the galaxy, their own human representative with their knowledge to lead their armies.
Vala says that her mother's name was Adria, and she always wanted to name her daughter after her. In reality, Adria was her stepmother, a witch of a woman.
Black box data from the Korolev indicates six people escaped using beaming technology and the rings were activated before the ship was destroyed.
It takes a minimum of 3 weeks for a 304 to get to Atlantis one-way.

NOTES OF INTEREST:
Sir Gawain was a knight of the Round Table. In one of his earliest incarnations, an old Welsh tale, he went on a quest to help rescue a lost love. The legend says that Sir Gawain, aka Gwalchmei, visited several lands over the course of his adventure, including a place called Gwlad gan brenhinol gwir, which is Welsh for "the land of royal truth." Translated into Ancient it becomes "Verus Gen Bree," or Vagon Brei.
A reference from Merlin's library dedicated to Gawain's adventures includes a depiction of a sword he once carried, and the symbols engraved on the blade are the gate address to Vagon Brei: 3-8-2-12-19-30
According to legend, a cave overlooking the village on Vagon Brei was once home to Morgan Le Fay. In Arthurian myth, Morgan was a powerful sorceress, King Arthur's half-sister and an adversary of Merlin. She was a purported magic-user, like Merlin, and was likely once ascended. The villagers believed the sleeping sickness that wiped out the population was Morgan's curse for revealing her whereabouts when King Arthur and his knights came looking for her.
Camelot is also designated as PX1-767.
Six more worlds have fallen to the Ori in 8 days, two of which are Jaffa strongholds. According to those who witnessed the battle the enemy was led by a young woman of extraordinary powers.
Vala is now a probationary member of Stargate Command.

NOTES OF INTEREST:
Praclarush Taonas was one of the earliest Lantian cities. It was abandoned when the inhabitants learned their sun was nearing the end of its life.
Merlin/Myrddin was among the Lantian citizens who fled to Earth from Atlantis, known then as Moros, the last High Councilor of Atlantis.
Morgan Le Fay is an ascended Ancient. Her name in Ancient is Ganos Lal.
When the Ancients first abandoned Atlantis millennia ago, Earth was harsh and the people primitive. There was no hope of living among them as Lantians or rebuilding Lantian society, so instead they spread out to many lands, some planting a few small seeds of civilization among the first tribes of man, others making their way to the stargate in Antarctica, others choosing to live the remainder of their lives in seclusions and meditation. Both Merlin and Morgan chose seclusion and meditation, and eventually ascended. Thousands of years later, seeing the threat the Ori could one day become, Merlin retook his human form in order to create his weapon to defeat them. He did everything within his power to keep his work secret, but the Others feared his intentions and Morgan was sent to observe, and if necessary to stop him. For that brief time in Earth history, Merlin was the most powerful being on Earth, and he created a small enclave of noblemen with whom he entrusted his secret: Arthur and his knights of Camelot.
Merlin broke the Ancient's highest laws by retaining all of the knowledge and powers he had gained when he ascended and using that knowledge as a human to create a weapon capable of wiping ascended beings from existence.
Morgan reveals the Ancient names and addresses of Castiana and Sahal as Taoth Vaclarush and Valos Cor: 29-3-6-9-12-16 and 29-18-19-20-21-22
The diameter of a stargate is not arbitrary. There is a specific correlation between the energy required to create a stable wormhole and the size of the gate, with the energy exponentially proportional to the size.
By dialing out from Pegasus to the Milky Way and causing the wormhole to arc from the Milky Way gate to the supergate, the supergate is now connected to a wormhole powered on the other end by a black hole and can remain active almost indefinitely, preventing the Ori from dialing in.
KNOWN COORDINATES:
Coordinates of Castiana and Sahal (Taoth Vaclarush and Valos Cor):

MEMORABLE REMARKS:
Well, like the lady said, let's all just take a moment. … Okay, moment's over. Let's go save the galaxy. [Mitchell]
It was a hallucination. Look, I had a concussion, I was trapped in the back of a sinking jumper, and my mind conjured you up as a means of survival, what you would do in my situation. It saved my life. [McKay]
Was I naked? [Carter]
Search parties were sent to the coordinates of Castiana and Sahal. Castiana has a toxic atmosphere, and Sahal has evidence of stone structures apparently abandoned over 40,000 years ago. So far the search seems to be a dead end. Daniel has returned to Camelot to look for more clues in Merlin's archive.
According to Ba'al, Anubis knew of Merlin's weapon and its power and had told Ba'al about it. He had dedicated considerable effort to finding it during his time in our plane of existence, but never succeeded. The address for the location of Merlin's weapon is among those O'Neill obtained from the Ancient repository of knowledge.
Barrett and the NID have been investigating the Goa'uld infiltration of the Trust for two years, considering it a global conspiracy with political and corporate connections in over a dozen countries and Ba'al at the top of the pyramid.
Qetesh had once attacked Ba'al's fleet at Selenis, crippling his flagship and killing 10,000 of his best Jaffa.
After the stargate was stolen two years ago, the SGC installed jamming devices to prevent anyone from locking on to a signal within the base.
The trip through the stargate takes 3.2 seconds.
Ba'al's cargo ship is equipped with Asgard beaming technology.

NOTES OF INTEREST:
Daniel is continuing his research in England.
O'Neill now spends a lot of time in Washington.
O'Neill's cabin is about a mile northwest of Silver Creek Junction, Minnesota.
The Sodan cloaking device is now being used by the SGC for missions that require inconspicuous covert observation.
The Sodan cloaking device emits an energy field around the wearer that puts them slightly out of phase with our normal dimension of space time. They also emit a significant amount of radiation which repels interdimensional creatures from bleeding through to our dimension. When SG-1 began using the devices, they shielded the radioactive emissions to make them safer for human use, but unknowingly allowed interdimensional creatures to randomly cross into our dimension.
When an interdimensional creature lodged itself inside the stomach wall of an indigenous mammal and began altering the host's DNA, a shy docile herbivore became a large ferocious carnivore. Similar incidents occurred wherever the modified Sodan cloaking devices were being used: P9J-333, P2R-866, and northern Minnesota.
While serving in Vietnam, Landry was flying air support out of Bien Hoa when he caught some triple A in the left engine, had to eject, and landed somewhere near the Laotian border well north of the DMZ. He had badly injured his knee, was bleeding badly, and was lost without food or radio with half a battalion of North Vietnamese regulars combing the jungle looking for him. It took him 8 days to reach safety.
Landry is fond of chess and is an avid bird watcher, capable of imitating the plaintive mating call of the very rare and endangered Fulvous Whistling Duck. Mitchell is skilled with Playstation Socom 3.
MEMORABLE REMARKS:
The Sodan were using these devices for hundreds of years. You'd think there'd at least be a label on the side in bold that says "Beware, may cause deadly extra-dimensional radioactive monster-causing creature to appear." Or at least "Danger" would have been nice. [Vala]
The "Wormhole X-treme" series only lasted for three episodes, but it allegedly performed well on DVD. Martin Lloyd was given the go ahead to write and produce "Wormhole X-treme: The Movie" for television, which was canceled at the last minute, and the series was picked up again. Eventually the series will last for ten seasons, 200 episodes, earning 7 Saturn Awards for best cable or syndication science fiction show, after which the movie is picked up again.
Raymond Gunne left "Wormhole X-treme" temporarily. His fan campaign included savedrlevant.com and an ad in Variety.
Nick Marlowe left "Wormhole X-treme" after eight seasons, after which the part of Colonel Danning was played by Gavin Marlowe.
When O'Neill was in the engine room of a mothership, standing right next to the cloaking generator as it was turned on, he was bombarded by the particle field being emanated by the cloaking generator. He became invisible, and he liked it.
There have been 1263 mission files.
Mitchell was born in 1970.
Mitchell's 200th trip through the stargate is to P2C-106 where SGs 3 through 18 are waiting with cake, balloons, streamers, the works.
Chief Master Sergeant Walter Harriman officially steps through the stargate.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind one last jaunt through the old orifice. What? We call it that sometimes, don't we? [O'Neill]
INSIDE JOKES:
It's all about the writing:
I think, first and foremost, it has to do, you know, with the writing. I mean, obviously, we don't take ourselves too seriously. [Martin]
I mean, seriously, all these writers, and they couldn't come up with anything better? [Carter]
Writers' techniques:
Trust me. Jeopardy plus ticking clock is box office. It's the E=mc2 of the entertainment world. Ask any executive. [Martin]
So show the actual escape. [Daniel]
Oh, no, no, no. You can't give away too much too early. It'll step on the ending. [Martin]
I'm thinking I can back-sell it and say you were beamed out at the last second. [Martin]
Is that not too convenient? [Teal'c]
Not if you hang a lantern on it. It's a writer's term. Another character points out how convenient it is. That way the audience knows I intended for it to be convenient, and we move on. [Martin]
Bigger box office:
The audience isn't going to know the difference. They love "weapons at maximum." [Martin]
I do not understand why everything in this script must inevitably explode. [Teal'c]
Look, you guys may all know how things really work out there in the galaxy, but I know the film business. Explosions make great trailers. Simple fact. More explosions, better trailer. Better trailer, more viewers. [Martin]
Writing for women:
…and just because my sex organs are on the inside instead of the outside doesn't mean that I can't handle… [Carter puppet]
Oh, the writers are really great guys, all of them. Men… You know. Yeah, it's a bit of a boys' club. [Yolanda Resse]
I don't think they know what to do with my character. I probably should have taken up golf a long time ago. [Yolanda Resse]

Where did O'Neill go?:
Our lead backed out. How am I supposed to tell a story without my lead character? [Martin]
Easy. You just bring in a character to replace him. [Mitchell]
You guys have to help me. I mean, how can I keep the main character in the story without actually having the actor who plays him? [Martin]
Well, you could have the other characters refer to him all the time, maybe get him on the phone once in a while. [Carter]
Oh, yeah, right. I mean something cool, like face-switching or body-swapping? [Martin]
As if anyone would believe that. [Vala]
Maybe it's best just not to mention the guy at all. [Mitchell]
Where has O'Neill been?:
What, a guy can't just stop by from Malibu to say hi? [O'Neill]
How do we forget about O'Neill?:
I needed something even better to make you forget about the guy that fans loved to watch for the fist seven years of the show. I know he was here for eight, but, you know, a lot of people say he just kind of phoned it in that last season. [Gavin Marlowe]
How do we get O'Neill back?:
I have to make them think that I re-wrote the script just for them. In this draft, there has to be something that makes them want to do this movie even if it's for scale. [Martin]
Spoilers:
You mean something like this? [O'Neill, surprise entrance]
Wow, I don't think anyone will see that coming. [Vala]
No, but there'll be spoilers. [Daniel]
Are you kidding? It'll be in the commercial. [Carter]
Maybe it should have ended with season eight:
They could go fishing. It'd be the perfect ending. I mean, after that, anything else would seem… pointless. [O'Neill]
Why did it end with season ten?:
How can something work perfectly fine for 10 years, then all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore? [Mitchell]

Athena, the Greek goddess of war, was a minor player who rose to mid-tier status by pursuing alliances with more powerful rivals such as Cronus, Camulus, Svarog, and even Anubis when he was first banished by the System Lords. She and Qetesh were once rivals, but they allied to search for the Clava Thessara Infinitas. They never found it, but Qetesh double-crossed Athena and wanted her to think she had. Athena believed her, and used Ba'al's resources on Earth to go after Vala.

THE QUEST (part 1)
Planet: Unnamed location of the Sangraal Planet Description: Accessible only by stargate, invisible from orbit Inhabitants: Villagers Emulated Culture: Medieval English Episode Guide |
Pictures
NOTES OF INTEREST:
The locations of Castiana, Sahal, Vagon Brei, and Cameot combine to form a perfect tetrahedron. Planetary designations made up of symbols from all three addresses for Castiana, Sahal, and Vagon Brei, returned only one permutation in the SGC database - the address for the location of the Sangraal: 30-19-34-9-33-18.
Morgan Le Fay put safeguards in place to ensure the Sangraal could only be secured by "those possessing truth of spirit." The Parchment of Virtues, written in Ancient, was left by Morgan as a guide for knights of noble spirit: "Only those of virtue true may win the prize concealed. Beyond the reach of the flawed and tainted, the Sangraal shall instead belong to he who speaks the guardian's name." "Prudence, wisdom, charity, kindness, and faith. Let these be your guide on this perilous quest."
SG-1 exhibited prudence to negotiate the dilation field, charity to escape the force field trap, kindness to help the crying child, wisdom to solve the riddles, and faith to pass through the wall of fire.

Planet: Three planets cut off from the gate system Planet Description:Desert, blizzard, and rain forest Inhabitants: Merlin Emulated Culture: Ancient Episode Guide |
Pictures
NOTES OF INTEREST:
Name magic is common in most mythologies. To know something's secret name is to steal its power. When facing the dragon, the Guardian's name is "Ganos Lal," Morgan Le Fay's Ancient name.
Merlin has lived many lifetimes, first in Atlantis, then on Earth before the dawn of our civilization, then he joined the ranks of the ascended, and finally returned to mortal form to live out his remaining days among the noblemen of Arthur's court before being preserved in stasis.
According to myth, Morgan Le Fay trapped Merlin in a cave and left him frozen there for all eternity. In reality, Morgan protected the one man capable of building the Sangraal by keeping him in stasis. Merlin remained in stasis well over a thousand years. The Plaque in Ancient reads, "Here lies Myrrdin, Archmage of the Round."
To keep Merlin hidden, Morgan set up a system using the gate and an obelisk that would activate automatically every few hours to transport the chamber through a circuit of planets cut off from the rest of the gate system by a deliberate alteration of the DHD program: a world of desert, blizzard, and rain forest.
The Ori gain their power from the lower planes, so much so that one day they shall be strong enough to wipe the Others out. In the face of such a threat, a strict policy of non-interference is absurd.
A DHD buffer typically holds the last 50 addresses that were dialed.

Carter has modified Arthur's Mantle, the phase-shifting device of Merlin. By using 3 naquadah generators for power and a laptop for control, it is now able to envelope and shift an entire area including all the people and objects within it.
Parable of Markon from the Book of Origin: "So it came to pass that Ver Omesh was gripped by a great famine. So Markon went to the prophet Articus and asked to go to the forest for food. The prophet bade him be patient, for the Ori provide for all who have faith. But Markon did not believe. So the prophet drew a line in the sand and told him, 'Step across and you may do as you wish.' So Markon did, and left the village, and feasted on wild berries. But the food was bitter and did not satisfy him. He longed to return to the village, but found that the line had widened to a great chasm. He called out to the prophet in fear, but the prophet said, 'The line has not changed. It is you who have changed. Step across if you truly believe.' So Markon prayed for forgiveness and took the first step. And the hands of the Ori enveloped all those who welcomed him back."
Carter's password for her personal computer is "FISHING."

NOTES OF INTEREST:
Daniel remains a prisoner of Adria.
General Hammond is retired from active service.
According to M-Theory, there are a fixed number of alternate dimensions existing in parallel with our known universe (alternate dimension/phase). The Multiverse Theory posits the existence of an infinite number of alternate universes, each evolving concurrently with our own (alternate reality/parallel universe).
Carter of the alternate reality had been developing a process by which energy could be extracted from parallel universes, a process which leads to the creation of exotic particles in one or both universes. She found a way around that by designing the machine so the bridge would only open for a microsecond in order to steal small amounts of energy from thousands of different universes, thereby minimizing the fallout in any single one.
In the alternate reality:
Carter is a major, Hammond is a major general in command of the SGC, Mitchell was an F-302 pilot who went down over Antarctica and has since quit the military, Daniel was captured by the Ori, Teal'c went back to the Jaffa several years ago, Vala is currently occupying a cell at Area 51, Lorne is the leader of SG-1, Landry is president of the US with an office at the SGC, Rodney McKay is a dot-com millionaire smart-ass who was married to Carter and then divorced, Prometheus has become Air Force One, Merlin's phase-shifting device had not yet been discovered, and Earth has abandoned the Alpha Site and cut ties with the Jaffa and most other explorations and alien alliances.
Three years ago, Anubis attacked Earth, the US was forced to reveal the existence of the Stargate Program to the world, people panicked and rioted, the President declared martial law, diplomatic fallout was critical, and the Ancient chair was removed from Antarctica to Area 51. Three weeks ago, the Ori attempted an attack on Earth, the ship was fought off with the Ancient chair, but the ZPM was nearly depleted in the process.
To power Merlin's device to take all of Earth out of phase, 700 gigawatts of power are needed, roughly 80% of the power generating capacity of the continental US.
Carter was missing in the alternate reality for two weeks.

NOTES OF INTEREST:
When Merlin programmed the Ancient repository to download his consciousness into Daniel's brain, he gave it a time limit, knowing that Daniel could only survive so long with the knowledge and consciousness of two distinct people in one mind. When Merlin dies, Daniel's body and mind are genetically programmed to revert back to the state they were in before Merlin's consciousness was downloaded. Merlin sacrificed himself for Daniel's plan to work.
Adria explains: Origin is designed to channel the energy of its followers to the Ori. It's that unselfish act of giving that leads one's soul to salvation and ultimately to ascension. This is no great secret, the Book orf Origin says, "Make yourself one with the path, and the journey will lead you to eternity." Were it not for the power the Ori draw from our belief, the Ancients would have wiped them out long ago, because they would not tolerate anyone who does not follow their collective rules of noninterference. They claim not to interfere but they do manipulate, use their power to hoard their knowledge, and prevent those beneath them from reaching their level.
A Mark IX gatebuster beamed directly behind the event horizon of the gate in the Pegasus galaxy so that the force won't be absorbed by the active wormhole, will destroy that gate and sever the wormhole connection.
Ori starcraft are flown by the Priors using mind control.
Daniel gives the Odyssey temporary cloaking capabilities. Having a ZPM helps.
With the supergate disconnected from Pegasus, the Ori send at least six more ships to our galaxy.
MEMORABLE REMARKS:
Have I ever let you down? No, don't answer that. Have I ever let you down when it really mattered? [Daniel]
You, of all people, should know that I don't believe anything anybody says, even if I understand what they're talking about! [O'Neill]
How's it going, Sir? [Carter to O'Neill, having just come from Woolsey]
Longing for the days when I actually carried a weapon. [O'Neill]
I'm down with crazy. I like crazy. Crazy and I are like that. [O'Neill]
Exactly. Action - good. Sitting around - bad. [O'Neill]
I thought we fixed this thing so that wouldn't happen anymore. [O'Neill, after Woolsey beams into the briefing room]
Yup, just like old times. Except I'm here against my will, and you look like Marcel Marceau. [O'Neill]
See, there is always a widget left over. [Mitchell]
I thought you were always one short. [Vala]
Well, you'd think both was impossible, but it's not. [Mitchell]
I think if it did work the Ancients would feel obligated to give us a fruit basket, or, like, a gift certificate, or… something like that. [O'Neill]

Carter is introduced at the Applied Technologies conference as a nine-year veteran of the Air Force's Deep Space Telemetry Program, senior consultant for Applied Technologies, and a two-time winner of the prestigious Binder Prize for Advancements in Theoretical Physics.
Chimera Optics Projection System is the name given to the Asgard hologram system first introduced as a prototype three years ago. The X-699 is the name of the plasma cannon presented at the conference.
Mitchell graduated in the class of 1987 from George Washington High School in Auburn, Shawnee County, Kansas (current population 21,211). His parents are Frank and Wendy Mitchell, who still live on a farm in Auburn.
Amy Vandenberg is Mitchell's high school crush and the one that got away. She ended up marrying some corporate dude named Ted and moving to Texas before getting a divorce about a year and a half ago and moving back to Topeka last year.
Vala explains that she didn't attend school, but was sold as a domestic servant to a weapons smuggler named Fierenze. After she killed him and won her freedom, she considered her education more or less complete. She also admits to several marriages, although it is hard to keep track of the legal marriages. The first was from a band of traveling entertainers.
SG-1 encourages Ventrell to take advantage of the unrest in the Lucian Alliance and to seek his reward for capturing Netan instead.

NOTES OF INTEREST:
Carter is in Washington briefing President Hayes.
Daniel had believed that the Clava Thessara Infinitas was a hoax, but cross referencing Athena's research and our cartouche generated the gate address of P4M-328 as the possible location of the treasure.
The point of origin for P4M-328 is glyph #33.
Basic protocol states that when a civilization reaches a certain level of development, the SG teams don't make first contact in person, but instead send the MALP to make contact, and if the society is interested in the idea of extraterrestrial visitors, then an SG team will follow, not before.
The stargate can be manually dialed using the naquadah core from a Goa'uld naquadah bomb, and doing so will establish a secure connection and deplete the bomb's power source so that it will not detonate.

Teal'c and Arkad had met in battle as opposing First Primes at Co'rak. Teal'c bombarded the planet from space, leaving no survivors. Arkhad's parents and sister were killed that day, and in revenge he arranged for the murder of Teal'c mother. Shortly afterward, someone slipped into the village where Teal'c's mother lived and slit her throat in the night.
Arkad was once a student of Bra'tac. He existed solely on the fringes in the past, but he has been slowly and quietly building support for himself as a new leader that would deliver the Jaffa Nation into the hands of the Ori.
The attack at Dar Eshkalon killed 12 warriors, 18 bystanders, and 2 children, and 12 more were critically injured, including Teal'c and Bra'tac.
MEMORABLE REMARKS:
I am leaving. You are about to explode. [Teal'c]
Bra'tac sends his regards as well. I don't think he'll mind me speaking for him when I say that he'd love to stab you in the eye with a really big knife. [Daniel]
FOR THE RECORD:
Injuries:
Mitchell: beat up and knocked out in hand-to-hand combat with Teal'c
Carter: knocked out by shock grenade
Daniel: knocked out by shock grenade
Vala: knocked out by shock grenade
Teal'c: internal injuries, damaged spine, at least 3 shots from staff weapon, beaten in one-on-one fight, impaled with a sword through the abdomen
Vala was raised by her mother. Her father, Jacek, was absent for the first three years of her life, running scams out of the Nylus sector. Later he would be gone for months at a time only to return to lay low from the people he had swindeled. When she was little, Jacek used to take Vala to Meronat, a little world with two suns, and they once spent an afternoon together on Serras-Dia, running for their lives from the authorities.
Jacek attempts to supplement his living expenses from the Air Force with Tuesday and Thursday Bingo with the senior ladies in his building, a charity phone scam for Little Pepito who needs a new set of kidneys, peddling genuine stardust on the internet that will tap into the power of the Alpha Force, the core energy of the universe, for $19.95, and the "Eat for Your Eye Color" diet book. Left with worthless lead bars, he trades the packing peanuts as Jibbaran virility enhancers.
Landry was married to his wife Kim for 12 years. It has been a little over 5 years since he and Kim last spoke.
Vala is further integrating into Earth society by bonding with Carter for "Girls' Day Out" including pedicures, mochaccinos, and Victoria's Secret.

NOTES OF INTEREST:
The false memories implanted in Vala included dreams of two possible addresses for the location of the Clava Thessara Infinitas by reading the infinity symbol horizontally (14-21-16-11-30-7) and vertically (26-20-35-32-23-4).
Adria insists that the attempt to destroy the Ori by sending Merlin's weapon through the supergate was unsuccessful. Ba'al says that the Ori are dead.
Adria has ascended.

Ba'al is in Adria? [Landry]
Yes, Sir. It's the bad-guy equivalent of cordon bleu. [Mitchell]

Pictures
NOTES OF INTEREST:
The final attempt to solve the Asgard's physiological degeneration left each of them with a rapidly progressing disease. Because they made the choice to extend their lives through science generations ago, which took any natural physiological evolution necessary for ascension out of the equation, they decided to end their lives in a sort of mass suicide before the degeneration and their suffering goes too far. They have destroyed Orilla, the last Asgard homeworld, and passed on their legacy to SG-1 to be installed in Odyssey.
The Asgard computer core installed on Odyssey is equipped with its own power source that will not infringe on the Odyssey's ZPM power source.
Normally a ship can't be tracked in hyperspace, however the Asgard upgrades to Odyssey give off a unique energy signature detectable from subspace which allows the Ori to track them through hyperspace.
The crew uses the stargate on P3X-474 to gate home. SG-1 and Odyssey remain in orbit above the planet.
Teal'c has aged 50 additional years.
The gate address of SG-1's final destination is 9-18-27-15-21-36.
