That defies the entire idea behind the Stargate's positioning system. Figure, six for the destination point, one for the point of origin... I guess... Well, yeah. Since you don't have symbols for extragalactic constellations, what you'd have to do is then use your first six to define a point, and then the Stargate's functionality works as a ray... A straight line, from the point of origin, through the designated point, out to the distance designated by the symbol on the 8th chevron. I wonder how the constellation symbols map to numeric distance, though... Hey, Ms. Wolfe, do the symbols on every gate match?"Julian tosses his cards in, not having any two that match for anything. Like Ashley, he could care less about cards at this point anyway. "Time is the most likely option. Figuring that the 8th chevron adds the 3rd dimension, depth... it only makes sense for #9 to add a fourth dimension; time."[quote="Ashley]"Major Davis is right, though. Taking the DHD would only slow the Goa'uld down. They have more than enough power to work the gate. It's a big superconductor, anyway, lightning or even enough radiation would be used to power the thing. One of Major Carter's reactors would work, and they're pretty damn portable. The thing is, anyone advanced enough to threaten us significantly has access to energy, and probably more than us. We power the thing off of DC, I'm sure the Goa'uld have something more impressive."</blockquote>"Well, lemme ask you this: Does the DHD power the gate? If so... In theory, we could chain several DHDs up to one gate, if we set it up right... And then have heaps more power to work out those 8th and 9th chevrons... And light Las Vegas, while we're at it. That alone sounds like a good reason to fix the broken DHD on Earth."[/QUOTE]
