JACKSON: Actually, I'd like to get started right away, if that's OK with you, Rodney.

McKAY (sarcastically): Oh, sure, sure. What've you got planned? An exciting exploration of insignificant Ancient historical events?

JACKSON: No, not quite. I'm sure you're both familiar with the Ancient named Janus?

McKAY: The inventor?

JACKSON: Yes. He was a lead scientist and apparently a bit of a renegade.

McKAY: Yeah, and I've been over all of his logs. Look, this is work we've done already.

JACKSON: Well, I'm pretty sure I have information that could lead us to his secret lab.

(Rodney stops and turns to face him, his face full of cynicism.)

McKAY: Secret lab?!

JACKSON: Yes, a place where he conducted and subsequently hid a significant portion of his unauthorised research. And if I'm correct, it's right here, on Atlantis.

JACKSON: Now, none of these writers had any idea where the lab could be, but one of his young assistants recalls a day where Janus turned a corner down a hallway.

McKAY (mock-quoting the entry): "Today: saw Janus in the hallway." There's a real page turner!

JACKSON: He chased after him with a question about his work but when he rounded the corner, Janus was gone. The hallway was a dead end. He had seemingly disappeared and, I think, into his secret lab.

McKAY (looking more interested): Well, did this assistant happen to mention ...

JACKSON: ... which hallway? Yes, he does.

McKAY: Oh. Well ...

McKAY: Ooh, like the Batcave!

JACKSON: Yes, just like the Batcave(!)

McKAY (looking at a small scanner): Well, I'm not picking up anything unusual.

(Daniel stops as he sees a small recess in a column on the wall.)

JACKSON: Something used to be attached here.

(Rodney turns and looks, then sees a similar recess two columns along.)

McKAY: Hmm. And here.

JACKSON (going to the column in between the other two): And another one. Any idea what they are?

McKAY: Looks like a run of the mill sconce interface.

JACKSON: Right! Well ... (he shines his torch around the corridor) ... where are the sconces?

(Glaring at him for a moment, Rodney types and the image zooms in on three round objects lying on the floor.)

McKAY: There. There are your light fixtures.

JACKSON: That's odd. Each of these three lights made a different tone when I plugged them in. Does that usually happen around here?

McKAY (thoughtfully): Not usually, no.

(Daniel taps the light and it chimes again. He walks along and taps the other two lights and each one chimes a different note.)

McKAY: Well, they've been banged around a lot, under water for a few days. Maybe they're just broken.

JACKSON: No, it's a puzzle. I think we need to activate these in a specific order.

McKAY: You mean, like a three digit code? D'you know how easy that'd be to break?! There's only six variations!

JACKSON: Well, maybe we need to activate them a number of times in a specific order. I don't suppose you recognise any of these three notes?

McKAY: What, do you mean, like, does it remind me of Janus' favourite Brian Eno track?! No -- no such luck.

JACKSON: Well, Janus' assistant said he disappeared pretty quickly down the hallway, so it can't be a long code. Maybe it's just as simple as three tones in a row.

McKAY (bored): Go for it.

(Sighing, he turns to the right and walks to the end of the corridor. Daniel taps the lights in the reverse order to what he did previously. Rodney, with his back to him, pats the end wall. Daniel taps the middle light, then the right and then the left. Putting his hand against the wall again, Rodney frowns. Daniel tries middle, left, right.)

McKAY: Hold on for a second.

JACKSON: What is it?

McKAY: Come here and push against this wall.

JACKSON: Why?

McKAY: Please, just humour me. I think I'm on to something.

(They change positions.)

McKAY: OK. On the count of three, I want you to push against the wall as hard as you can, OK?

JACKSON: OK.

(He puts his hands against the wall.)

McKAY: OK, one, two, three.

(Daniel leans hard against the wall as Rodney walks along and taps the lights left to right in quick succession. The wall doesn't move but Daniel plunges forward and disappears straight through it. Rodney stares in surprise.)

McKAY: Son of a bitch!

(He trots back to the left light and taps the three of them again, then walks briskly towards the wall -- and straight through it, appearing in a darkened room on the other side.)

JACKSON: Ow.

(Rodney looks down, then squats down to Daniel lying on his face on the floor.)

McKAY: Controlled magnetic harmonic resonance.

JACKSON (sitting up and looking at him blearily): What?

McKAY: Apparently, Tessla was close to something like this before Edison trashed his lab!

JACKSON (rubbing the back of his neck): What are you talking about?

McKAY: That wall was specially designed to destabilise when bombarded with a very specific harmonic resonance. That's what the tones were! And the strong magnetic property of the particles is what keeps the door from just crumbling into dust! It's a great way to hide a door because, you know, if you're looking for a door to open, it's never gonna be found! It's like a hologram, only better, because it's solid mass until the tones are played.

JACKSON: Right, so you could've just told me to walk through the door when you did.

McKAY: I could've, yes.

JACKSON: Yes, yes.

(Sighing, he stands up.)

JACKSON: Where the hell are we?

(They step forward and the lights begin to come on. All around the room wallscreens and consoles light up.)

JACKSON: Wow.

McKAY: Janus' secret lab!

(They walk around and start to investigate. Unseen on a table behind them, a red light begins to flash on a device.)

The Mist


That was old Bill Giosti's theory about the so-called Black Spring: the Arrowhead Project. In the western part of Shaymore, not far from where the town borders on Stoneham, there was a small government preserve surrounded with wire. There were sentries and closedcircuit television cameras and God knew what else. Or so I had heard; I'd never actually seen it, although the Old Shaymore Road runs along the eastern side of the government land for a mile or so.

No one knew for sure where the name Arrowhead Project came from and no one could tell you for one hundred percent sure that that really was the name of the project-if there was a project. Bill Giosti said there was, but when you asked him how and where he came by his information, he got vague. His niece, he said, worked for the Continental Phone Company, and she had heard things. It got like that.

«Atomic things,» Bill said that day, leaning in the Scout's window and blowing a healthy draught of Pabst into my face. «That's what they're fooling around with up there. Shooting atoms into the air and all that.»

«Mr. Giosti, the air's full of atoms,» Billy had said. «That's what Mrs. Neary says. Mrs. Neary says everything's full of atoms.»

Bill Giosti gave my son Bill a long, bloodshot glance that finally deflated him. «These are different atoms, Son.»

KELLER: I ditched it. You really think I'd want it ending up in your hands?

TODD: Ah, it's foolish of you to see me as the enemy.

KELLER: Really? Why's that?

TODD: I'm on a mission from your Colonel Sheppard.

KELLER: I seriously doubt that.

TODD: Hmm, it is a long story. But he has requested that we neutralise a very dangerous target.

KELLER: Then why did you take over the ship? Why'd you attack our crew?

TODD: One of our facilities is under attack by a rival Hive. Our two support ships must depart for battle. My Hive will remain here; continue the work with Doctor Keller.

WOOLSEY: I'm glad to hear that.

(Todd turns and frowns at him. Richard's eyes widen.)

WOOLSEY: Oh, not the "under attack" part. That's unfortunate, of course. I-I just meant ...

(He looks at Todd's expression and trails off.)

WOOLSEY: ... Never mind.

(Todd turns back to the windshield to watch as the first of the two Cruisers turns and heads for a hyperspace window which has opened in front of it. As soon as it hits the window, it instantly disintegrates into tiny particles which spray back from the window. Everyone on Daedalus stares in shock.)

CALDWELL (hurrying over to the Weapons station): Marks, what the hell just happened?

TODD (furiously): How did you do that?

WOOLSEY: How did we ...? Surely you don't think we had anything to do ...

TODD (turning to face them): You tricked me.

WOOLSEY: What?

(Holding its arms by its sides that the others can't see, Todd slips a glowing yellow rod from each sleeve of its coat down into its hands.)

TODD: This was your plan all along. Somehow you found the Attero device.
