517 - Fail Safe

O'Neill: | Ahh... here we go... |
Carter: | I'm sorry, sir. |
O'Neill: | Ah, come on... We came. We saw. We planted the bomb. We had a little fun with a meteor shower. We went home. It's a great story... Isn't it? |
O'Neill: | So... what happens when that bomb goes off? |
Carter: | Well... the explosion will be enhanced by the naquahdah, probably to the force of a small nova. This close to Earth, it would be enough to set the atmosphere on fire and boil the oceans. |
O'Neill: | OK... This was not in the movie. |
Teal'c: | The bomb has yet to be deactivated. |
O'Neill: | I can see that, Teal'c. |
O'Neill: | You know... I'd like to take this opportunity to say... that this is a very poorly designed bomb and I think we should say something to someboby when we get back. |
Carter: | The effect only has to last a few seconds. |
O'Neill: | What... only has to last a few seconds? What? |
Carter: | Choice three, sir. We expand the ship's hyperspace field to encompass the whole asteroid. We take it out of normal space long enough to avoid the collison with Earth. |
O'Neill: | ...Is there a four? |
Carter: | I know it sounds farfetched, sir... ahem... Well, it is. |
O'Neill: | You want to ride an asteroid... through Earth... |
Carter: | I really need more time to make the calculations. |
O'Neill: | Well, Carter... now might be a good time. |
Carter: | If I engage too soon, we'll emerge right inside Earth. |
O'Neill: | Carter... I can see my house. |
