text: how would it affect the people who love me if i go through the star gate to atlantis?   if you were selected to go through the earth stargate to the pegasus galaxy, then you should feel proud, as only the best and brightest are selected for such a journey.  but make no mistake, this will be no joyride.  with an active foe such as the wraith, your demise could be far worse than death.  as such, those who love you may worry for your survival in the far-off city of atlantis.  that is, if they have the security clearance to know where you are going and what you will be up against.  in the end, how a decision like this will affect those you love you depends entirely upon your resolve and sturdiness.  it would only affect then if you did not make it back.  so press forward with your best, and tell them you're going fishing in minnesota.
