"And you support this." "All we know for certain is he's going to die, so we might as well make good use of him while he's still alive." "You do understand the Geneva Convention prohibits using prisoners for scientific experiments." "No offense, Doc, but had the Wraith attended the Geneva Convention, they would have tried to feed on everyone there." "Beckett's report indicates that we have no idea what the long-term effect of this drug on humans might be." "Well, we know damn well what the long-term effects of Wraith culling are, right?" "We're talking about putting a human being in the same room as a starving Wraith, and once we start down that road—" "Which road did you think we were headed down?" "Not this one. At least not this fast." "Having spent time with the prisoner, I don't pity him. He's going to die anyway. This drug could be useful some day." "Some day?" "The point is, we don't get a lot of opportunities like this. Do you know how obsessed with this the Hoffans are? When they found out we had a live Wraith prisoner… He's going to die. I've tried to feed him all sorts of live stuff, but apparently, there's only one item on his menu." "And what about the test subject? If the drug fails—" "We're not just grabbing anybody off the street. The test subject is a terminally ill patient who has volunteered himself." "These are not exactly the type of decisions that I was expecting to make on this expedition. Do it."

"Perna." "One hundred percent cellular penetration in all five test inoculations. Incredible." "There's still a lot of data to be analyzed, but the initial results are very promising, I agree." "Dr. Beckett's efforts have advanced the project by decades." "Perna's formula was right on track. It was just a matter of changing its molecular design so it could be better absorbed by the body." "This is an enormous victory for our people, Doctor. I don't know how to thank you." "No need. Of course, it's only a preliminary." "How soon, then, until you can set up the next stage of testing?" "You'll have a schedule later today, Chancellor." "I'm sorry, "next stage"?" "Your report makes it abundantly clear that the project is ready to proceed to its next phase." "We want to test the serum's effectiveness against your prisoner."

"One can see the various refraction chambers required to complete the preliminary stage of fluctuation required to boil down the base material…"

"I have never seen devices such as these." "The work you've done refining the drug has been good up till now. With all this… we can make it better. From what I can tell, your biggest problem is that the test inoculations failed to show enough of a presence in human cells to be effective." "What we need is a better delivery system." "Exactly, and the best place to start is to recreate the key protein in the serum and work our way up from there. If we can avoid having to re-engineer it from a natural source and make an entirely synthetic version, it should ultimately increase the efficiency." "Such a thing is possible?" "Anything's possible, if you're willing to give it a go. Come on then, a bald head is soon shaved."

"Hi, Steve." "Bye, Steve." "Doctor." "Is he… I mean, you're certain he's…" "He's down, Doc. Do your thing. Almost looks peaceful, doesn't he?" "Peaceful? Are you out of your bloody mind?"

"There's a thought worth pursuing." "I agree. Major, have you made any progress with your prisoner?" "Well, not yet, but he just blinked." "He blinked? What does that mean?" "It means he's still holding on, but he's indicated to me that he may break soon." "And he indicated this to you by blinking?" "Yes." "No offense, Major, but so far, he hasn't told you a thing. For all we know, he could linger this way for months, and, ultimately, we'll learn nothing." "The Wraith could be on their way to Hoff, as we speak. If your prisoner holds the key to the creation of this drug, should we not take advantage of this?" "How could we get the sample off him, safely?" "We still possess the weapons used in his capture. It would be a simple matter of incapacitating him again." "So then it's possible?" "It's possible."

"Using living Wraith cells is our only recourse at this juncture. Without them, we have no way of knowing for certain if the drug is actually viable." "You said it worked effectively on the cells of the severed Wraith arm we brought back." "It did, but those were already in a partially decayed state. We need live samples." "And with new samples, you think it's possible to create a prototype?" "Given enough time, yes, I do." "He's got a good point. The Hoffans are practically obsessed." "Thank you, Rodney." "I agree, Doctor, but their obsession may become their undoing." "Well, even if they do…undo, it'd be good for us. I mean, given the choice, wouldn't you want to be immune?" "Not if it meant the lives the Wraith might otherwise spare. This drug would only… be of value if everyone, everywhere, possessed the same immunity."
