Mantle of Arthur

Template:Technology Template:Quote The Mantle of Arthur is a device that transports people into a parallel dimension.

Overview

The device shifts a person into a parallel dimension where they cannot interact with things in the physical world, except for the keys on the device. The device produces trace amounts of Lepton radiation when activated. When out of phase, a holographic display appears above the device. Template:Cite The device maintains a connection with every molecule that it shifts. The field range of the device can be extended to hide larger objects or areas. There is a small slot at the back where a power crystal can be inserted. Template:Cite

History

Merlin invented the device to hide his research on a weapon from the Others. It ended up in the Glastonbury Cavern where it was found by SG-1. Dr. Bill Lee examined the device for six months before Samantha Carter was able to activated it and send her and Cameron Mitchell were shifted out of phase. Lee managed to activate it again and sent Daniel Jackson out of phase as well where he translated Merlin's research. Lee's attempts to get them back caused a power drain but luckily Jackson deciphered enough to send them all back. Template:Cite

Carter used the device to hide larger objects and was then tasked with using the device to hide a village on P9C-882 to protect it from Ori forces. The device eventually failed when a power fluctuation occured and Ori soldiers soon arrived. Cameron Mitchell, on Carter's direction, bypassed some damaged Naquadah generators to bring the device online and hide them and the building they were in. With an Ori Warship going to fire on the village from orbit, Carter told Mitchell to use a power crystal from an Ori Staff weapon to help power the device and hide the entire village to save it.

Carter was experimenting with the device while being contained in a shield when a Matter bridge connected and pulled her through to an Alternate Reality. Carter used the device to hide this alternate Earth from five Ori Warships that came to attack. The device found in that reality was brought out of storage to be studied and Meredith Rodney McKay was tasked with making it work to hide the planet again. Carter left him her notes to help. She returned to her reality with the device. Template:Cite

Alternate Realities

• In an alternate reality visited by Samantha Carter, the device was found but never examined until Carter informed them of what it was. Template:Cite

Alternate Timelines

• In an alternate timeline where SG-1 and Hank Landry were trapped in a Time dilation field on the Odyssey for 50 years, Carter tried to recreate the Mantle to take the ship out of phase so when the Time dilation field was shut down they would not be destroyed by Ori Warship fire. Template:Cite
