Stargate PATCHED
Crista Wilbers
In 1994, Catherine invites Egyptologist and linguist Daniel Jackson, Ph.D. to translate the hieroglyphs. The stones are now part of a U.S. Air Force classified project overseen by Special Operations Colonel Jack O'Neil. Jackson determines that the hieroglyphs refer to a "stargate" which uses constellations as spatial coordinates. He is then shown the Stargate, the ring device from Giza. They use his coordinates to align the Stargate's rotating inner track with markings (or "Chevrons") along its outside. When all seven chevrons are locked in, a wormhole opens, connecting the Stargate with a distant planet. Jackson joins O'Neil and his team (Reilly, Porro, Freeman, Brown, Ferretti, and Kawalsky) as they pass through the wormhole.
The above manifest will deploy one Stargate pod per datacenter. The Stargate pods will be deployed in the same Kubernetes namespace as the Cassandra pods. The Stargate pods will be exposed via a Kubernetes service of type LoadBalancer. The service will be named --stargate-service.
All known Stargates have nine chevrons, on Milky Way and Pegasus gates each chevron lights up ('locks') as a symbol is entered. Hence an eight-symbol address can be referred to as an eight-chevron address. Partly because DHDs are only able to power seven-chevron (same-galaxy) connections, these are the most common and the eighth and ninth chevrons are never used by most societies, who attach mythical meanings to them. In many cases the eights and ninth chevrons are not even visible, hidden beneath the 'ground level' of a stargate platform.
In reality, eight-chevron addresses connect to other galaxies, with the extra symbol in the address acting as an area code. Nine-chevron addresses function entirely differently and enable connections with specific stargates regardless of their place in the universe; although the exact functioning is ambiguous as the only known example of this is the Ancient ship Destiny. In this case, the address is a fixed nine-symbol code and the point of origin symbol is not required. Destiny itself also uses a nine-chevron address to dial back to Earth but, as the Earth gate is not the one originally used by the Ancients, this implies either that Destiny was able to identify the address of the new Earth gate and update its database, or that some nine-chevron addresses do identify a location instead of a specific stargate.
Jackson, who is considered a crackpot, is obviously the man the U.S. government would choose to translate the hieroglyphics on the secret find of that 1928 expedition - a giant circle of carved stone which is a stargate, left behind by the builders of the pyramids. And, of course, Jackson and Col. Jack O'Neil (Kurt Russell) are the guys to walk through the gate, leading a squad of soldiers with automatic weapons.
Let's say a stargate was discovered, allowing instantaneous travel across the universe and opening onto a planet that could be inhabited by humans. What would the appropriate response be? Awe? Ambition? Curiosity? Not at all. Col. O'Neil's orders: "Track down signs of any possible danger. If I find any, blow up the stargate." The movie is so lacking in any sense of wonder that it hurtles us from one end of the universe to the other, only to end in a gunfight between the good guys and the bad guys while the colonel's bomb ticks down. (Like all movie bombs, it comes equipped with a bright red digital readout device that displays the countdown while beeping.) "Stargate" is like a film school exercise. Assignment: Conceive of the weirdest plot you can think of, and reduce it as quickly as possible to action movie cliches. If possible, include sun god Ra, and make sure something gets blowed up real good.
