On behalf of the people of the United
States and indeed the world, I congratulate you and the Stargate
SG-1 team for discovering the hidden Antarctic base of the Ancients,
the creators of the Stargates. We now possess the knowledge to travel farther through the
cosmos than ever before.
Through
Dr. Weir's elite team chosen to explore - for the first time -
outside our own galaxy, we now know the threats our planet and its citizens
face. The recent incursion of the Ori and alarming news from
Atlantis of the Wraith's recent acquisition of Earth's coordinates
make it imperative that we acquire new technology and allies.
Reminiscent of the Atlantis mission, the power requirements for our
second intergalactic
mission renders the journey one-way. The recent destruction of the Earth
fleet at the Ori Stargate, limit our ability to travel to the new
base by starship. All of Earth's resources must be utilized to
provide a defense against these new threats. The brave members of this international
team may never be able to return home. We hope and pray that we will find a
way around this hurdle, so that these valiant explorers may bring with them
new knowledge that will make our nation, indeed our planet, even greater.
With the
knowledge of these new threats, the future of this planet is at
question. The Lemuria team may one day be the only surviving
colony of the human race. No human is safe within this Galaxy
now that the Ori and Wraith have discovered us.
With all these boundless possibilities will come new threats. Is the balance
of risk worth it? I once wholeheartedly said yes. It can not be denied that
the use of the Stargate has brought upon this planet the wrath of
the Universe. Lemuria is no longer a choice; it is a necessity
for the hopeful survival of mankind. And if I may add, I envy those
about to embark on this adventure of a lifetime.
Godspeed Team
Lemuria,
