The Urcini had gone aboard that seedship to investigate it only to get stranded when Drones destroyed their mothership. Maybe something caused it to lock up a thousand years ago and the Urcini just had to reboot it but it seems a bit coincidental that Destiny gets a crew, the Berserkers show up Destroying the colonies of their descendants and they run into a seedship. Like it was on it's way to meet up with Destiny (triggered by the dial in?) but took damage leaving it as the Urcini found it with drones following... | |

Maybe not at the scale of time and distance they were viewing it on. As retcons go it's smaller than changing Atlantis' launch from 30M years ago to less than 1M. Or than deciding Destiny had a few Ancients in an unseen stasis bay who'd make the ship fit enough to shrug off Drones with ease... But thats all cannon now apparently. | |
