Background
For a newcomer the holo room is the easiest way in, but it uses far more power than the terminals, so the Atlantis expedition turns it on sparingly. The archive holds Stargate addresses for both the Milky Way and Pegasus galaxies, records of the Lanteans' war with the Wraith, an Ancient star map and the address of the ship Destiny, as well as research on ZPMs, shields, weapons and ascension that the expedition has only partly worked out. In The Siege, Part 1, Radek Zelenka reckons that if the city had to be evacuated, less than a tenth of the part deciphered so far could be carried out. Pieces of it did reach Earth, among them the names of the Lanteans who came back there after losing the war with the Wraith.
