Vala sighed and pulled back slightly from Eric so she could see his face better. "A bit, yes. I have mapped out where to build it and exactly how big the dimensions will need to be. What I keep falling down on is the crystal set up. I know a bit of that from having helped Ba'al a bit when he reconfigured the whole gate system once but reconfiguirng something that was already in place and rebuilding it from scratch are very different. I believe I have the materials I need for those, with the exception of the naquadah but then, I wasn't expecting to find that so readily."
Reaching out, Vala began to finger and play with the eagle talon Eric had on his necklace. "I've been thinking more about this professor of ours being an Ancient. It seems likely anyways, this isn't far from the ancient's MO from what I've heard of them. They certainly had the power to pull of something like this anyways. I've just been trying to find anything in his libraries that could tell me one way or another but I haven't been able to."
She dropped the necklace, letting it fall back to rest against Eric's chest. "Would you... You want me to finish it so we can find a way home?" She asked him quietly, assuming that was where his interest was stemming from.
