Line 4:
The Atlantis long-range sensors pick up a ship coming slowly towards them - an Ancient battle cruiser called ''the Aurora'', reactivated when the city came online. Since it's still about 42 million years away at its current speeds, they take the Daedalus to go check it out.
 
They discover that the entire Ancient crew - more than 400 strong - are still alive in the same sort of stasis pods that [[Stargate Atlantis/Recap/S01 /E15 Before I Sleep|Weir used to return to Atlantis.]] After ten thousand years, the people are too old to be revived without killing them, but they are nevertheless showing considerable mental activity in some kind of massive network. While Ronon and Teyla explore the ship, McKay plugs Sheppard into a spare pod to interface with the network and see what he can learn.
 
He finds himself in a virtual reality world, where the Captain and crew of the Aurora are trying desperately to repair their hyperdrive, in order to return to Atlantis with all possible haste. They have discovered the Wraith's secret weakness, recorded in a communique, which they hope will alter the course of the war. Sheppard tells them that the war has been over for ten thousand years and that nothing around them is real, but the information in the communique would still be absurdly useful to their distant descendants. Naturally, they respond by throwing him in the Brig.
