Another day, another lifetime of humiliation.
I wonder if the Navy has a ribbon for being a political prisoner of war.

BECKETT: If he's fed upon again, he's as good as dead.
McKAY: We don't know that.
BECKETT: Aye, Rodney, we do. He may already be past the point of no return. We know that a large percentage of those that survive a partial feeding die anyway due to complications as a result of strain on the system. What appears as physical ageing is actually a by-product of a complex process we barely understand. I can't imagine him surviving another session, whether it's two hours or ten hours from now.
(Ronon furiously turns to Ladon.)
DEX: If you were half the man Sheppard is, you'd volunteer to make the trade yourself.
LADON: The truth is, I'm not sure whether or not I would have made the trade if our roles were reversed. (He turns to Elizabeth.) So I ask you, allow what you have done for me to be worth something. There's nothing more I can do here, but I can get you the information you need to find Sheppard if you allow me to return and interrogate the men who stole the codes from me.
(Uncertain, Elizabeth looks round at her team. They gaze back at her, equally unsure what to do for the best.)

Five days after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990, the United States deployed troops to Operation Desert Shield (ODSh). The United States attacked Iraqi armed forces by air on January 16, 1991, and this marked the beginning of Operation Desert Storm (ODSt). The ground war began on February 24, 1991, and ended 4 days later. The official ceasefire took effect on April 11, 1991

LADON: Certain enough to send a full brigade through the Gate. It will take us an hour to marshal our forces. I thought you might want that time.
WEIR: What will we be up against?
LADON: Nothing one of your cloaked Jumpers and my good friend Ronon couldn't handle.

DEPRIVATION OF RIGHTS UNDER COLOR OF LAW
Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.
For the purpose of Section 242, acts under "color of law" include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within the their lawful authority, but also acts done beyond the bounds of that official's lawful authority, if the acts are done while the official is purporting to or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and others who are acting as public officials.

Aha, it's about the dream manipulation, the sleep harassment they've been doing without my consent. The production of foreign dreams while I sleep. If I'm dead, the evidence dies too. There are other people that know about it, but alive I am at least 90% of the evidence.
People have tried to kill me in the past, they're probably trying to kill me right now, they will probably try to kill me in the future. Just another day I survived, knowing they'll finally hit me one of these days, but so far today, they haven't got me.

DEX: Sounds like you're the traitor to me.
LADON (to Elizabeth): Must he be here?
WEIR: The more I hear, the more I'm glad he is.
LADON: I could have told you anything. I chose to tell you the truth. If you trade my life for Sheppard, you will not only be yielding to blackmail, but you'll be planting the seeds of civil war.
DEX: So what? I say we turn him over and let 'em fight it out.
McKAY: We can't do that.
DEX: Why not?
McKAY: Because. (He thinks about it for a moment.) Well ... can we?
TEYLA: Colonel Sheppard has already ordered us not to.
WEIR: At this point, it's not his decision. There's still time for us to find him and launch a rescue operation. (She turns to Rodney.) Has there been any progress?
McKAY: We have a list of planets where recent Genii activity has been documented, but we'd have a much higher margin of success if Ladon would be willing to point out firm locations of Genii safe houses and shelters -- maybe even hidden Wraith-infested torture chambers.
(Elizabeth looks at Ladon as Ronon pointedly walks closer to him. Ladon glances over his shoulder at him briefly, then turns to Elizabeth and nods in agreement.)
KOLYA'S PLANET. John is pacing angrily back and forth in his cell. The Wraith stands at the window looking in at him.
WRAITH: Your anger will only weaken you.
SHEPPARD: I don't think so.
WRAITH: You realise he is torturing both of us?
SHEPPARD: Oh, yeah? What'd he do to you?
WRAITH: He stopped me.
SHEPPARD: Really? And how is that torture?
WRAITH: Have you ever known starvation, Sheppard? The few years I took from you are barely enough to keep me alive. The strength I gained from you is already fading.
SHEPPARD: I don't really give a damn.
WRAITH: You pace in your cell, cursing that I took years from you. I stand here cursing that I was not allowed them all. Each in our own way, we suffer.
(John storms over to the window, grabbing onto the bars on his side of the cell and glaring in at the Wraith.)
SHEPPARD: This might come as a surprise to you, but I'm not really in the mood for conversation. So why don't you just do me a favour and SHUT THE HELL UP!
(The Wraith slams its hand through the bars, trying to reach him, but the wall between the two cells is too thick.)
WRAITH: These are your last hours, Sheppard. If you wish to spend them in silence, then so be it.
SHEPPARD: No. I'm getting out of here. (He walks away from the window.) I've got a life to go back to and I'm damned well going back to it.
WRAITH: You're sure of that?
SHEPPARD (leaning weakly against the opposite wall): Yeah. I've got friends.

LATER. John is back in his cell and is sitting weakly on the floor, leaning against a wall. His hair is starting to go grey. The voice from the next cell speaks.
VOICE: They called you Sheppard.
SHEPPARD: Yeah. That's my name. Pleased to meet you.
VOICE: You're in pain.
SHEPPARD: Well, I just got fed on by a Wraith, what do you think?
VOICE: I would not know.
SHEPPARD: Hopefully, you'll never have to find out. (He groans as he straightens up a little.) I didn't think anything could hurt that much.
VOICE: You're still alive.
SHEPPARD: Yeah, well ... I don't know how many years the darned thing took off my life, but I'll tell you this: if Kolya's men hadn't have pulled that damned thing off, I'd be dust in a flak jacket.

From: Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Manpower and Reserve Affairs)
Subj: NAVY AND MARINE CORPS AWARDS MANUAL
1. Purpose. To provide guidance and regulations concerning awards available for recognizing individuals and units in the Naval Service.
2. Navy Cross
a. Authorization. 10 U.S.C. S6242.
b. Eligibility Requirements
(1) Awarded to individuals who, while serving in any capacity with the Navy or Marine Corps, distinguish themselves by extraordinary heroism, not justifying the award of the Medal of Honor.
(a) While engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States;
(b) While engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or
(c) While serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force, in which the United States is not a belligerent party.
(2) To warrant this distinctive decoration, the act or execution of duty must be performed in the presence of great danger, or at great personal risk, and must be performed in such a manner as to set individuals apart from their shipmates or fellow Marines. An accumulation of minor acts of heroism normally does not justify the award. The high standards SECNAVINST 1650.1H demanded must be borne in mind when recommending the award.

SHEPPARD: Finish it.
WRAITH: As I told you, John Sheppard, there are many things about Wraith that you do not know.
(It reaches out its right hand and places it down onto his chest.)
(Nearby, the rest of Team Sheppard and the marines are making their way cautiously through the forest. Dex, on point, raises a clenched fist, stops and squats down. The others come up quietly behind him. Some distance away, John screams. Ronon jumps up and races towards the sound, the others following. They race through the trees and come across the Wraith squatting over John. Ronon charges forward, grabs it and hurls it away from him, charging his blaster and pointing it at the Wraith.)
SHEPPARD (from the ground): Wait!
(As the Wraith scrambles to its feet, John also stands up. He's as young and as pretty as he ever was.)
SHEPPARD: Leave him.
(The others run up, all aiming their weapons at the Wraith.)
SHEPPARD: That's an order!
BECKETT: I don't understand. We all saw what he did to you.
SHEPPARD (walking towards the Wraith): He just undid it. Lower your weapons.
TEYLA: How is this possible?
SHEPPARD: Don't ask me.
(The Wraith, which has been looking round at everyone surrounding it, turns to John.)

SHEPPARD: I thought you said this wasn't personal.

KOLYA: I can't help but wonder what you've told them so they'd choose you over one of their own.
LADON: That I betrayed you. That I took for myself what you believed to be yours.
KOLYA: The truth? I must say I'm surprised.
LADON: If you release him, you may return to our people with my promise of amnesty.
KOLYA (smiling): Please, Ladon, I trained you better than that. There are things that cannot be undone.
WEIR: That's not true. You can end this.
KOLYA: Strange, Doctor, I was just about to say the same thing.
(Elizabeth looks down as the Wraith is brought into position beside John's chair. Kolya turns to it.)
KOLYA: Take your fill.
(Instantly the Wraith slams its hand down onto John's chest. His head rolls back in agony. In the Control Room, Elizabeth looks down in anguish. Teyla can't bear to look at all. Beside her, Ronon's face contorts in a mixture of fury and helplessness. Finally he can take no more and, with a cry of rage, storms away. Nearby, Rodney gazes at the screen in grief. Carson, on the other hand, glares at the screen as if he's ready to commit murder. Ladon watches with his face wracked with guilt. The Wraith feeds for nearly fifteen seconds, then suddenly it withdraws its hand.)
KOLYA: Who told you to stop?
(The Wraith looks up at him.)
WRAITH: He is near death. Shall I finish him?
(Kolya looks at it for a moment, then down at John, whose face is now very wrinkled. He looks about seventy years old.)
KOLYA (to his guards): Get it out of here.
(The guards drag the Wraith away as John slumps in his chair. Kolya turns to the camera.)
KOLYA: Now it's two hours.
(The transmission ends and the Gate shuts down.)
BECKETT: If he's fed upon again, he's as good as dead.
McKAY: We don't know that.
BECKETT: Aye, Rodney, we do. He may already be past the point of no return. We know that a large percentage of those that survive a partial feeding die anyway due to complications as a result of strain on the system. What appears as physical ageing is actually a by-product of a complex process we barely understand. I can't imagine him surviving another session, whether it's two hours or ten hours from now.

Maritime Administration (MARAD)
MARAD and the Navy's Inactive Fleet are two separate entities. MARAD is not a Navy facility, but is under the Department of Transportation (DOT).
MARAD maintains the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF) as a ready source of ships for use during national emergencies and assists in fulfilling its traditional role as the nation's fourth arm of defense in logistically supporting the military when needed.
History
The US Maritime Commission was created as an independent agency by the Merchant Marine Act of 29 June 1936, to further develop and maintain a merchant marine for the promotion of US commerce and defense. It was authorized to regulate US ocean commerce, supervise freight and terminal facilities, and administer Government funds to construct and operate commercial ships.
The Commission was the successor agency of the US Shipping Board and the US Shipping Board Bureau of the Department of Commerce. It also took over the property and records of the US Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation, known as the US Shipping Board Merchant Fleet Corporation, after 1927. When the War Shipping Administration was established in 1942, it took over many functions of the Commission, including the operation of the merchant marine and the shipbuilding activity remained under the Commission. These functions were returned to the Commission after 1 September 1946.
The Commission was abolished on 24 May 1950, and its functions were transferred to the Department of Commerce where they were assigned to the Federal Maritime Board and the Maritime Administration (MARAD).
The Maritime Administration was established by Reorganization Plan No. 21, effective 24 May 1950, as one of the successor agencies to the US Maritime Commission. It administers financial programs to develop, promote, and operate the US Merchant Marine; determines services and routes necessary to develop and maintain American foreign commerce and requirements of ships necessary to provide adequate service on such routes; conducts research and development activities in the maritime field; regulates the transfer of US documented vessels to foreign registries; maintains equipment, shipyard facilities, and reserve fleets of Government-owned ships essential for national defense; operates the US Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, NY; and administers a Grant-In-Aid Program for State operated maritime academies in California, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas.

LADON: I won't make excuses for his actions or mine during the failed Atlantis mission. We were soldiers under Cowen's orders. But that failure shattered Kolya's stature among the Genii and forced him from Cowen's inner circle.
WEIR: You managed to stay.
LADON: Cowen had no choice but to keep me. I was his chief scientist.
McKAY: And you just left Kolya out in the cold.
LADON: That was his choice, not mine. I will admit, in what little contact we had before Kolya went underground, he spoke of overthrowing Cowen's corrupt regime. I was admittedly torn.
WEIR: Out of loyalty to Cowen?
LADON: Out of the belief that neither man had what it took to lead the Genii into the future.
McKAY: So, instead, you -- having what it took -- overthrew Cowen yourself.
LADON: Kolya believes that I have taken his rightful place as leader of our people.
DEX: No wonder he's pissed.
WEIR: Well, obviously, he has men loyal to him in your inner circle, hence the codes.
LADON: Those traitors will be found.
DEX: Sounds like you're the traitor to me.
LADON (to Elizabeth): Must he be here?

Chosen Survivors (1974)
Plot Summary
A group of diverse individuals are suddenly taken from their homes and flown via helicopter to a futuristic bomb shelter in the desert, nearly two miles below the surface of the Earth. There they learn that a nuclear holocaust is taking place and that they've been "chosen" by computer to survive in the shelter in order to continue the human race. The shelter is designed to allow the people to exist underground comfortably for years, but they are faced with a threat nobody could have predicted: a colony of thousands of bloodthirsty vampire bats finds a way into the shelter and launches a series of vicious attacks where they claim the humans one by one.

SHEPPARD: Well, then, you underestimate Elizabeth.
KOLYA: You'd prefer I storm Atlantis and take Ladon by force?
(John chuckles, shaking his head.)
SHEPPARD: What've you got -- half a dozen men and a starving Wraith? Yeah, you go right ahead.
KOLYA: One way or the other, Ladon is mine. Protecting him is a waste of my time and your life.
SHEPPARD: What'd he do to you?
KOLYA: I was the one planning to overthrow Cowen. Ladon disclosed those plans, forcing me underground, then staged a coup of his own.
