I had a dream the other night that would suggest I was walking through solid object, although I do not recall if I actually did in the dream. The wall in that apartment had become some kind of transparent. I wrote about that dream and I wrote about how it seemed that I was flying on the so-called "Stargazer" L-1011 just before it crashed and I was sitting in a seat behind the pilot, which was actually me. I wrote about some other scenes in the dream and then flying over a stop sign in a road, which was a T-junction and of how we flew over the section of road that ended at the T-junction and that reminded me of that lyric about missing the sign which led to a turn for the worse. The pilot turned his head back towards me although he did not turn around far enough to look at me and he said something about how that sign had my name on it. It was after we flew past the stop sign and over that perpendicular road at the T-junction that the ground dropped off sharply below our flight path and then I found myself clinging to the top of a snow-covered mountain and I was looking at the details off a window where I was going to crawl through and out of the cold. I wrote about how from there, after some vague interaction with the people in that office or auto parts store through the window, I rode some kind of shuttle bus to a hotel and there was some further vague interactions and I do not think I actually checked into the hotel. I cannot remember what happened after that. I think it was well before all this, possibly during a sequence on the L-1011 and before I started about here, that I saw the transparent wall in my room at the Vermont.

91 503 "Ascension"

July 13, 2001 (Showtime)

After returning from Velona (P3X-636), a planet full of ruins, Carter is visited by a mysterious young man named Orlin who can walk through solid objects. But everyone believes that she is seeing things. It later turns out that the Ancients destroyed Velona and left Orlin behind as punishment after he had provided the Velonans with an advanced weapon in their fight against the Goa'uld.

I always find myself lingering on the detail about the vegation that was covered by the snow that I was clinging to at the top of that mountain. I don't know why that seems important. I have seen it before but I don't know what it is called and I don't think it is vegatation that would exist on a high-altitude mountaintop so it is probably just some kind of detail that is important in its own right.

TEYLA: I am not fluent in Ancient but I do recognise a few words: "welcome" and "ascension".

DEX: Ascension?

McKAY (still holding the branch with the camera end through the doorway): To a higher plane of existence. The race of people who built the Stargates -- they eventually evolved to a point where they ascended to a state of pure energy.

McKAY: OK, then! Any volunteers?

SHEPPARD: I'll go. (He walks towards the doorway.)

McKAY: Just, um, back out if you encounter anything problematic.

(John stops and looks back at him.)

SHEPPARD: Problematic?

McKAY: Yeah, like poisonous atmosphere, acid atmosphere, no atmosphere. Hey, (he points to the camera) it's a M.A.L.P. on a stick; only shows you so much.

(John grimaces at him nervously.)

SHEPPARD: OK. (He takes a deep breath.) Here goes.

(He slowly pushes his P90 into the field. The field glows blue around the gun. He pushes his hands forward and they disappear into the field.)

SHEPPARD: Weird! (He pushes his arms into the field.) Yeah, it's kinda hurting my hands a little.

McKAY: OK, so get outta there.

SHEPPARD (struggling to pull himself out of the field): I'm trying to, but it's pulling me in.

(Ronon grabs the webbing on the back of John's vest with both hands and braces himself.)

DEX: I got you.

(Despite Ronon pulling back, John continues to be pulled into the field. John looks round at the others.)

SHEPPARD: OK, come on, guys, get me outta here.

(Teyla runs forward and grabs hold of more webbing.)

DEX: I'm tryin'.

SHEPPARD: Well, try harder.

McKAY: No-no-no, we proved this -- it shouldn't be happening.

SHEPPARD: Well, it is! It's pulling me in!

(He, Ronon and Teyla continue trying to pull him out to no avail.)

TEYLA: It's too strong!

(John's face reaches the field. He turns his head to the side, trying to force his head back, but it is pulled into the field. Rodney calls out a warning to Teyla and Ronon.)

McKAY: Don't touch the barrier!

(As their hands near the barrier, the two of them let John go and he disappears into the field. The rest of the team stare at each other in shock.)

OPENING CREDITS. Resume. John is lying face-down on the ground in the cave on the other side of the barrier.

SHEPPARD (into radio): I don't know if you can hear me over the radio, but I'm finally on the other side. (He looks up.) Looks just like the pictures. (He strains to stand up but can't move.) Hurts pretty bad to move. I don't know if I can ... (He tries again to move but can't. He groans.) Alright, you guys, stay put. (He deactivates his radio.)

OUTSIDE THE BARRIER. Ronon turns to Rodney.

DEX: Why did you tell us to let him go?

McKAY: Because you weren't gonna stop and the last thing we need is both of you to get pulled in with him.

TEYLA: Why would the Ancestors create something that would do this?

McKAY: I don't know.

DEX: Figure it out or you're going in after him!

McKAY: OK, that is not helping! Obviously the portal reacts differently to living matter than it does to inanimate objects. It might even be specific to humans.

INSIDE THE BARRIER. John is on his feet and activates his radio.

SHEPPARD: This is Sheppard -- can you hear me now? (He deactivates the radio and listens but there's no reply. He activates it again.) I've taken a good look around the area. Cave opens up to the other side of the ridge. There's not much there, so, uh, (he squats down) I'm just gonna wait here and give you guys a chance to figure this one out.

INSIDE THE BARRIER. John sits down on a rock, then activates his radio.

SHEPPARD: Can you hear me now? (He listens, but there's no reply. He activates it again.) The cave opens up to the other side of the ridge but there's nothing in the immediate area I can survive on. (He deactivates the radio and tosses his pistol across to an area where he has set up camp. After a moment, he stands up and wanders back to the doorway, talking into the radio.) OK, that's day two and I'm out of water. We don't leave our people behind -- right? (He stares at the doorway, then activates the radio again.) How about sending me a signal to show me that you're still there? Doesn't have to be a rock -- you can write a damned note. (He deactivates the radio briefly, then activates it again.) I'm gonna turn off my radio for another six hours to conserve the battery, (he sits down on the ground) and try to get some sleep. Sheppard out.

INSIDE THE BARRIER. John is sitting by a small fire. He now has a full beard. He activates his radio.

SHEPPARD: This is Sheppard. I'm pretty sure you can't hear me, but I don't have a volleyball to talk to, so what the hell. I've rationed what little I have for as long as I could but I have enough left for maybe one more day. (He sighs.) I've gotta get myself something to live on while I find my own source of food and water. (Sarcastically) Not that I didn't appreciate the three canteens of water and the whole handful of power bars. (He sighs again.) There's nothing in the immediate area. I'm gonna have to go further out. Um, I'm giving you an indication of where I go, as I go. (He looks frustrated.) Sheppard out. (Angrily, he throws the radio across the cave, then picks up his P90 and starts to kick the fire out. Once it's out, he cocks his gun, switches on the light on top of it and, aiming it cautiously, heads out.)

SOME TIME LATER. John comes out of the house. He is wearing a white shirt, a sleeveless light beige waistcoat, dark trousers and long beige suede-looking boots. He still has the beard. The house is in a small village with houses and barns made of wood. It's another simple Pegasus society. Avrid comes over to greet him.

AVRID: I'm glad you're feeling better. (He gestures around the village.) Welcome to your new home.

SHEPPARD: Avrid, uh, I'm happy to visit and I'm grateful for the food and the whole healing thing, but, uh, do you know the way out of here? (He starts to walk across the centre of the village.)

AVRID: There is no way to leave, John, other than to ascend.

SHEPPARD (stopping): What exactly do you mean by "there's no way"?

AVRID: That is the sole purpose of this place -- to meditate upon ascension and one day join those who created the Sanctuary.

SHEPPARD: The thing is, I've got other plans. (He starts to walk again.)

AVRID (following him): Then why did you enter the portal?

SHEPPARD: Well, call it a mistake. I tried to stop it but the damned thing sucked me in.

(They have reached the centre of the village where there's a large stone reservoir, about knee-high, filled with water. John stops and looks at it.)

AVRID: Those that came before us made certain that there could be no indecision. Once you set foot within the Sanctuary, your path was chosen.

SHEPPARD: Not by me!

AVRID: Once you cross the threshold, you are committed to be here for the remainder of your days.

(He smiles. John turns and stares at him. Avrid's smile fades. John looks away, and Avrid turns and leaves. John stares down at his reflection in the water.)

OUTSIDE THE BARRIER.

WEIR: OK, I think I've got it. (She turns away from the inscribed wall that she has been studying.) I am interpreting a bit, but it seems the field was designed as a sanctuary from the Wraith, but a place the last of the Ancients could travel to and hopefully ascend without fear of attack.

McKAY: Oh, of course. They could potentially spend entire lifetimes inside the field before the Wraith even discovered the place.

BECKETT: And if they ever attacked, their ships would get torn apart just as the probe did.

TEYLA: And so it has remained for ten thousand years.

WEIR (turning back to the wall): This writing here -- this serves as a sort of welcome, as well as a warning for any of the humans under their protection looking for sanctuary; but I think it was left there for anyone who wanted to seek the path to ascension on their own.

DEX: And what's the warning?

WEIR: That once you cross the threshold, there's no return.

McKAY (smugly): That is, unless you have the exact location of the power source and the expertise to turn it off.

The landowner of a 3.77-acre parcel, just west of Shelley Lake and north of Central Valley High School at 15818 E. Fourth Ave., is proposing to build 41 townhomes.

Today’s highlights

First of all, let me apologize for being MIA from the blog a lot this week. I was moving my base of operations and have spent a lot of time packing and unpacking files. But I'm all settled in now, so it's back to normal. Today's Valley Voice is full of news stories, including one from reporter Lisa Leinberger on the fun High 5 program at Evergreen Middle School. Nearly all the students have signed a pledge to stay drug free and participate in High 5 events.

Valleyfest organizers are worried about the future of the annual festival in the aftermath of the decision by the Spokane Valley City Council not to grant lodging tax funding. There will be a second round of applications accepted, but organizers worry it may be too late. This week the council also had a lengthy discussion on the city's street maintenance contract and whether the term is too long and if the contract should be re-bid.

A hearing was held last week on a proposed 41 townhome development just west of Shelley Lake on Fourth Ave. Neighbors spoke against the project because they believe it violates a developer's agreement negotiated between Spokane Valley and the property owner. A decision on whether to approve the plan for the development should come within two weeks.
