Please excuse the arguing
OK, time to get things on the move with the rings! So to get this happening, two characters from Stargate Atlantis are being called upon, none other than the brilliant Dr Rodney McKay, and Colonel John Sheppard. They're coming in from after S05E06, The Shrine, which is rather a great episode, and one that is probably the best at showing the relationships in the team.
Soooo, put your thinking caps on, cuz soon the gates/rings will be operational in some form or another - they will be able to be dialed to specific places, or will dial up random locations! Rodney will of course be tearing out what little hair he has left, as the randomness of the results will frustrate him no end *whispers* blue jello and Dr Jennifer Keller are known to have a calming affect on him! */whispers*
