While attempting to save the members of SG-10 from a black hole on planet P3X 451, the SG-1 team activates the Stargate and exposes themselves to the hole's gravitational pull. Trying to break free, the team shuts down the gate's power and in the ensuing explosions Teal'c and Daniel are badly injured. Even without power the black hole's gravity continues to draw the SGC closer to the swirling wormhole. With the intense gravity field warping the space/time continuum, the SGC loses contact with the outside world and the Pentagon sends O'Neill's former mate Colonel Cromwell to investigate. Cromwell is tormented with guilt for deserting O'Neill during a Soviet mission and volunteers to partner him in the attempt to save the SGC. Time slows to a near stand-still inside the SGC, where only O'Neill and Cromwell are left. Carter scrambles for a solution before the SGC and then the Earth are torn apart by the black hole's gravitational tides.

Trapped on Hathor's planet, Carter and Daniel can only watch helplessly as Hathor implants O'Neill with a Goa'uld symbiote. General Hammond sends Colonel Makepeace and six Stargate units to reclaim SG-1, but when the units are defeated, Hammond decides to do the job himself. Meanwhile, Makepeace succeeds in rescuing Carter and Daniel, but Hathor's army has created an Energy Barrier blocking them from the Stargate. Back in Hathor's facility, a Tok'ra spy closes O'Neill in a cryogenic chamber to kill his goa'uld host. As Carter rescues her freezing teammate, they come face to face with the enraged queen.

In the Jaffa city of Chulak, Teal'c attempts to raise an army to help his friends and stumbles across the injured Bra'tac, who has been left for dead by Apohpis' guards. Bra'tac leads them to an ancient Goa'uld ship and the three forge a daring rescue plan.

En route to the infirmary after an extended mission, SG-1 learns that part of the SGC has been sealed off due to a chemical leak. Soon after, during their routine examinations, Dr. Fraiser injects each member of the team with a sedative, rendering them unconscious.

Teal'c is the first to awaken, and secretly observes Dr. Fraiser and General Hammond talking with two aliens. The General orders Teal'c and Carter placed in holding cells. Feigning unconsciousness, he waits until he and his escorts are away from the infirmary before overpowering the guards and waking Major Carter.

Carter and Teal'c quickly realize that they cannot trust anyone in the SGC and must seek help outside the base. During the escape, one of them is captured. The other must rely on the one person they can't trust in order to save the SGC and the Earth from invasion.

While preparing for a week of leave, O'Neill is engulfed in a white glow and disappears. Carter immediately recognizes that O'Neill has been transported away by the Asgard.

O'Neill suddenly finds himself a little disoriented on Thor's ship. He begins to hear a strange sound and moments later is faced with hundreds of menacing looking metallic bugs. He freezes as they swarm past him. O'Neill heads in the direction the bugs came from and comes upon a very weak Thor. Thor tells O'Neill that he is dying and directs him to a control panel for further information as he is too weak. O'Neill learns that these bugs called replicators are artificial organisms that have overtaken the ship and have directed it to Earth. The effects of the replicators reaching Earth would be devastating.

O'Neill appears back in the briefing room of the SGC in the form of a hologram and informs General Hammond and the rest of his team of the situation. He orders them to gather a large amount of explosives that he will transport up. The team, of course, wants to be transported up as well, but O'Neill orders them not to.

O'Neill can't believe his eyes when the explosives arrive with SG-1 in tow. They have little time to formulate a plan to outwit the replicators and destroy the ship before it reaches Earth, hopefully finding a way to save themselves in the process.

SG-1 returns the SGC with news that earth has been saved from the Replicators only to learn that one of the deadly creatures was not destroyed. After crashing into the ocean aboard Thor's ship, the Replicator bug has found its way into a Russian submarine where it has killed the entire crew and is continuing to rapidly replicate. O'Neill suggests that the sub be towed out to sea and nuked, but the Pentagon feels that such an act could cause a serious situation with the Russian government. Instead, O'Neill and Teal'c lead a small heavily armed team aboard the sub in the hopes that the Replicators can be eliminated by sheer firepower. Carter is taken to Thor's home planet which is on the verge of total destruction by the Replicators. Thor believes that perhaps Carter's human knowledge could hold the key to the Asgard defeating the Replicators once and for all.

A test of the X-301, an experimental aircraft adapted from two Goa'uld death gliders, goes awry sending O'Neill and Teal'c hurtling out of Earth's orbit. As the X-301 streaks through space at a million miles an hour, the SGC struggles to find a way to retrieve it. But after an attempt to alter the aircraft's course fails, things look grim. Daniel Jackson seeks the help of off-world allies. He learns that the Tok'ra have a ship capable of reaching O'Neill and Teal'c, but it is on a covert mission in Goa'uld-controlled territory. With time ticking down and the lives of their comrades hanging in the balance, Carter and Daniel must locate the Tok'ra ship, intercept the X-301, and pull off a daring rescue.

SG-1 is called to Abydos to investigate a strange phenomenon: a whirling sandstorm that seems to whisper Daniel's name. When they confront the twisting tempest, it dissolves to reveal a young boy who introduces himself as Shifu, the Harsesis.

Shifu is brought back to Stargate Command where he undergoes a series of tests. They reveal Shifu is physically normal. But it is apparent to all that the young boy is wise beyond his years. Possessing the genetic memory of the Goa'uld, he will undoubtedly prove a powerful weapon against the System Lords.

Faced with this prospect, the Harsesis child sets out to teach Daniel a lesson - by imbuing him with the sought-after genetic memories and launching him on a spiritual journey. Ultimately, Daniel must face a difficult challenge. Will he use his newfound knowledge to change the world for the better, or will he allow this knowledge to change him for the worse?

After a near deadly pursuit by gliders and the well-aimed destruction of one vessel, the SG-1 team just manage to leap to safety through the Stargate. However, the craft demolished the system just as Teal'c jumps through and becomes lost in the ether. Teal'c's energy signature may have been lost. The S.G.C. faces a terrible dilemma: How to get Teal'c out of the gate system before the government forces a restart of the Stargate program, wiping out his energy pattern forever.

Teal'c is returning from a mission when the wormhole destabilizes and he fails to materialize. The Stargate is immediately shut down, because a new wormhole connection might make it impossible to retrieve him. Dr. Daniel Jackson and Major Paul Davis, SGC's Pentagon liaison, go to Russia and ask them for the use of their DHD. Meanwhile, Major Samantha Carter approaches the problem from a physics standpoint, and winds up working with a man assigned by NID's Colonel Simmons. Colonel Jack O'Neill pursues his own leads and speaks with Harry Maybourne, who tells him that NID now has Adrian Conrad's Goa'uld symbiote. Each of the three SG-1 members force themselves to put up with people they dislike in order to rescue their stranded friend.

As an asteroid hurtles toward Earth, SG-1 repair an abandoned Goa'uld ship to use as a launch pad for a naquadah bomb which should explode the rock before impact. But the SGC loses the ship's signal and fears that SG-1 have crashed, leaving them dead and the Earth in devastating peril.

A giant asteroid is detected, and its current trajectory puts it on a collision course with Earth. Based on the asteroid's mass, such an impact would destroy all life on the planet. SG-1 is tapped to help prevent this catastrophe. The only option they find is to retrieve a Goa'uld cargo vessel and use it to deliver a Naquadah bomb onto the asteroid, so they can blow the rock apart before it hits. Unfortunately, the plan starts falling apart, and the team discovers that the asteroid is not a natural one — it was planted by the Goa'uld for their own purposes.

When TV reporter Julia Donovan gets wind of a top secret project called Prometheus, the president orders General Hammond to kill the story. An incensed Donovan threatens to alert the foreign media, forcing Hammond to offer her a tour of the project in return for an exclusive at a later date. Prometheus turns out to be a spaceship combining human know-how with alien technology. While Jonas and Carter give Donovan and her producer a tour of the bridge, the TV crew - Smith, Reynolds, Jones and Sanderson - overpowers the guards and activate the ship's lockdown controls.

Major Carter tells Colonel O'Neill that a news reporter has solid information on Stargate Command's most classified project, Codename: Prometheus, along with a sample of the alien metal alloy, trinium. The journalist, Julia Donovan, plans to report that the Air Force is building some sort of secret nuclear reactor. She is wrong, however: Prometheus is not a reactor but the X-303 — the Air Force's third attempt to build an interstellar starship.

General Hammond thinks Donovan's conjecture is still too close for comfort and that SGC needs to identify the source leaking classified info. He confers with the President and authorizes Carter to make an exclusive deal, allowing Donovan and her producer, Al Martell, to tour the Prometheus site in return for her source and all her info and tapes. When the Air Forces goes public with the information, she would get the exclusive. Actually, SGC intends to doublecross the news team and destroy the tapes.

Carter and Jonas Quinn give Donovan and company a top-secret tour, but are ambushed by Donovan's camera crew — who have alien zats. Martell is in on it, too. Only Donovan is clueless.

The camera crew turns out to be a flight crew, and Jonas and Carter become prisoners. Jonas manages to buy some time by recalibrating the X-303's ignition settings and stopping the ship from taking off. Carter is imprisoned in a storage room, where she tries to rig some wiring into a transmitter.

Meanwhile, the hijackers radio O'Neill that if SGC does not release Adrian Conrad — the corrupt corporate magnate who is host to a Goa'uld — and Colonel Frank Simmons — the rogue NID agent who once aided Conrad for his own gain — within three hours, they'll blow up the X-303, turning the entire state into a smoking crater.

The hijackers force Jonas to undo his damage so that they can take off. They also shoot Martell. Fortunately, Carter gets her radio working. O'Neill orders her to sabotage the ship by cutting her way out of the storage room with a plasma torch and climbing to another deck, where she can sabotage the sublight control relay and ground the hijackers.

But with time running out and Carter still attempting to sabotage the ship, SGC turns Conrad and Simmons over to the hijackers. With Conrad's Goa'uld 's knowledge of the hyperdrive, they are ready to take off. SGC has no choice but to let them go. Luckily, Carter is able to escape the non-pressurized area in which she was trapped and get to a safe area, where she cuts the circuits to the sublight engines.

Meanwhile, Teal'c and O'Neill speed to the rescue in the death glider SG-1 once stole from Anubis. Teal'c and O'Neill board the X-303 just in time to save Carter from some of Simmons' goons. But with the hyperdrive now operational, the X-303 leaves Earth and heads toward coordinates Conrad gave to Simmons.

Conrad has his own plans, however, and takes out the rest of the crew. He then goes after Simmons — who shoots him dead, but not before Conrad's Goa'uld crawls into Simmons' skull. Teal'c and O'Neill battle Simmons and, when the X-303 comes out of hyperspace, O'Neill blows Simmons out the airlock.

One of the surviving traitors reveals that Simmons was after a cache of advanced technology the Ancients had hidden on a distant planet, and that he needed the help of Conrad's Goa'uld both to get the X-303's hyperdrive running, and to decipher the symbols on a tablet that specified the planet's coordinates.

The X-303 is now lost in space. But an Asgard ship suddenly appears and Supreme Asgard Commander Thor materializes on the bridge. It appears as though SG-1 is saved.

But it is Thor who needs aid. The Asgard homeworld has been overrun by the Replicators — and the fate of the universe hangs in the balance.

A professional hitman looking exactly like Colonel Jack O’Neill assassinates Senator Kinsey outside a Washington D.C. hotel. O'Neill is arrested and Hammond dispatches the rest of SG-1 to find the real killer. When Teal’c suggests that the assassin may have used duplicating technology to assume O'Neill's identity, Hammond tells Jonas about a recent security breach in which aliens used mimic devices to impersonate base personnel (Foothold) . It’s soon determined that 12 mimic devices captured from the aliens at the time have since been stolen. NID agent Malcolm Barrett informs Carter that Kinsey was working to expose a group of rogue agents within his organization.

Source: MGM Stargate SG-1

When Senator Kinsey is assassinated in broad daylight in front of a dozen civilian witnesses, Colonel Jack O'Neill is the prime suspect, having been seen and videotaped leaving the scene with a rifle in hand. And O'Neill's distaste for Kinsey, who had tried more than once to take down Stargate Command in order to control it, is well-known.

O'Neill's alibi, that he was alone on vacation fishing, is compromised when the murder weapon is found dumped in the lake near O'Neill's vacation cabin. With such damning evidence, General Hammond has no choice but to place O'Neill under arrest and then turn him over to the civilian authorities in Washington.

With the president, for political reasons, unable to intervene, General Hammond suspends SG-1's offworld duties and assigns Major Samantha Carter, Teal'c and Jonas Quinn to investigate the mystery and clear O'Neill.

Major Carter surmises there was only one way someone could have impersonated the colonel so precisely: Three years ago, aliens tried to take over SGC using mimic devices that could camouflage them to look like SGC personnel. After the situation was defused, SGC recovered 12 of the mimic devices, each programmed to impersonate a specific person. One of them had been made to mimic Colonel O'Neill.

They discover that the mimic devices under guard at Area 51 have been replaced with dummies. Carter has Teal'c and Jonas go through the personnel files of everyone who had access to the devices, while she goes to Washington to see Malcolm Barrett, a friend in the government's covert National Intelligence Division (NID).

Barrett tells Carter about an even more shadowy organization operating deep within the NID, and reveals he had blackmailed Senator Kinsey into working with him to expose this splinter group. But that group got to the senator first. Barrett then takes Carter to an illegal arms dealer who had sold the murder weapon to Colonel O'Neill's double. There they find another gun the shooter had handled, and Barrett has it checked it for fingerprints. They are not O'Neill's. They belong to an NID agent named Mark Devlin.

Carter and Barrett pay Devlin a visit, but his house blows up — a trap. They barely escape. Meanwhile, Teal'c and Jonas have narrowed the number of suspects with access to the mimic devices down to one Dr. Langham, who was supposed to have died in a car crash.

Jonas and Teal'c track Dr. Langham down and take him into custody at SGC, where he comes clean about stealing the mimic devices and delivering them to the NID splinter group, The Committee. The group is out to take the alien technology SGC has collected and use it for monetary gain, and will kill anyone in their way — even a U.S. senator. Dr. Langham gives Hammond the group-members' names in return for relocation to another world via the Stargate.

Major Carter decides to trust Agent Barrett with the intel on the mimic devices. He, in turn, trusts her with the fact that the senator is not dead but in a coma, under 24-hour guard, and that a Major Davis from the Pentagon is on his way there. But Davis is actually Agent Devlin, camouflaged as Davis so that he can kill the senator "again."

After completing his mission, Devlin reports back to The Committee, who instruct him to next threaten General Hammond's family and, if Hammond remains unintimidated, to kill him.

Just then, Agent Devlin morphs into Major Carter — who had used one of SGC's mimic prototypes to create a subterfuge and get the proof she needs to clear O'Neill. Carter and Barrett had apprehended Devlin earlier, and Carter had taken his place. Agent Barrett comes bursting in with his agents and takes The Committee into custody.

Kinsey makes a full recovery and exonerates O'Neill in public which, to O'Neill's displeasure, will ironically help get Kinsey elected president.

The U.S. military covers up the crash of a Gou’ald mothership by saying that the shock waves from a crashing meteor caused a Russian submarine to explode. But Chinese intelligence contradicts the phony story and, with diplomatic pressure building, the French, British and Chinese ambassadors are summoned to Washington and told about the Stargate program. When they are told that the Stargate has been used to visit hundreds of planets, they are skeptical. When the ambassadors learn that the Russians and Americans have been secretly co-operating on the Stargate program, they are outraged. Hammond explains that the Gou’ald are a highly advanced, predatory alien species possessing ships that can attack with devastating force. Senator Kinsey arrives at the meeting and confirms the story to the stunned diplomats. But Kinsey uncharacteristically begins criticizing the "massive blunders" that SG-1 has made under Hammond’s leadership. Hammond and Chekov request full military co-operation from the three ambassadors and beg them to maintain the Stargate program’s secrecy. The ambassadors threaten to go public. When Kinsey suggests that NID take over the Stargate project, Hammond is incredulous, calling the NID a "borderline criminal organization". Some phone research reveals that Kinsey is undermining SG-1 in an attempt to gain control of the Stargate through his new job as head of intelligence oversight. As the irate ambassadors get up to leave, Thor, supreme commander of the Asgard fleet materializes in the meeting room. Thor defends SG-1, crediting Hammond for saving his people, and the people of earth, "on many occasions". Thor also makes it clear to Kinsey that the Asgard want Hammond and SG-1 running the Stargate program. The ambassadors, suitably impressed, finally agree to Hammond’s proposal for increased military co-operation and continued secrecy.

With Anubis, the most powerful of the Goa'uld system lords, increasing his ability to acquire and use advanced weaponry against Earth, General Hammond decides to break the secrecy of the Stargate program in the interest of forming a global coalition to fight the alien threat.

He calls a Pentagon meeting with the ambassadors from China, France and Great Britain, with Colonel Chekov of the Russian SGC there to back him up. Unfortunately, Senator Kinsey also insists on being present. Convincing the ambassadors of the existence of the 'Gate and of the Goa'uld seems near impossible, until Kinsey steps in to assure them it is all true. However, he also immediately denounces the Defense Department's control of Stargate Command and questions Hammond's and Colonel Jack O'Neill's competence in handling both it and the advanced technology SGC has acquired — not to mention accusing SG-1 of nearly causing Earth's destruction on more than one occasion.

Hammond counters each accusation by showing how, in every case, SG-1 averted disaster that would have occurred had not Colonel O'Neill and his team risked their lives for the good of humanity.

But the more the committee hears about the Stargate — as well as about the X-302 spacecraft and about Prometheus (a.k.a. the X-303), the U.S. Air Force's answer to a Goa'uld mothership — the more incensed they become. Kinsey suggests control of the 'Gate be transferred to a non-military organization: the U.S. government's covert National Intelligence Division (NID). Hammond is amazed, since the NID had just tried to have him assassinated. But Kinsey quickly puts the blame on NID rogue operatives now in custody. Hammond finds it incomprehensible that what he considers a borderline criminal organization that stole alien technology and threatened the lives of his granddaughters should be in control of the Stargate.

During a recess, Hammond learns the reason for Kinsey's suggestion: He is about to be put in charge of the Intelligence Oversight Committee, which would in turn give him power over the NID — and the Stargate.

But Hammond has his own ace up his sleeve. He tells the ambassadors that while it is true SGC has made enemies during the past six years, it has also made powerful friends. And just as the committee is calling Kinsey's proposal "interesting" and is about to call for full disclosure to the world about the imminent alien threat, Thor, Supreme Commander of the Asgard Fleet, materializes in the conference room.

Thor tells Kinsey that, while he believes O'Neill was joking when he suggested sending Kinsey to a distant planet, he also believes the Stargate program should remain under Hammond's command. He says that although this was not a condition of peace with the Asgard, it is preferred. Thor is also here to place Asgard weapons and shields on Prometheus.

After Thor vanishes, the committee immediately reconsiders and decides that, for the time being, the Stargate status quo should remain.

Five days to zero hour: Brig. Gen. Jack O'Neill is having a busy time managing his new duties as head of Stargate Command — even with Radar O'Reilly-like help from the familiar 'gate-room technician, Sgt. Walter Harriman (whose last name has changed from Davis). The president is coming, and O'Neill is up to his behind in paperwork, in food and bunting approvals and in debriefing SG-2, just back from its mission to planet P8F-809. But at least he has a new administrative aide: former CIA analyst Mark Gilmor, assigned to this post by General Hammond himself. After O'Neill leaves for yet another meeting, Gilmor places a mysterious phone call, telling the person at the other end that O'Neill doesn't suspect a thing.

Later, after cajoling from an SG scientist, Dr. Seymour Lee, O'Neill reluctantly authorizes the arrival of an alien plant that SG-8 brought from P6J-908 for analysis.

Lt. Col. Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c inform O'Neill they have a Stargate address in the former domain of the recently defeated Goa'uld system lord Anubis — a site that his power-mad rival Baal apparently hasn't claimed yet and which may be home to an abandoned base where a cache of Goa'uld weapons may exist. Teal'c has a Jaffa ring-activation device that should give them access into the base. But with 14 SG teams all offworld and unavailable for backup, O'Neill holds the mission back one day — which irritates his old teammates, who believe even that may be too long a delay.

And O'Neill has enough problems. Dr. Lee's seedling has become a full-grown plant in just a few hours, and SG-5, led by Maj. Davis, has just brought two delegates from the planet Amra, here to negotiate a trade agreement with Earth. After an hour of the two bickering with each other, O'Neill locks them in a room until they come to an agreement. That doesn't turn out well.

Four days to zero hour: SG-1 embarks with the Marine Combat SG-3, led by Col. Reynolds, as backup. On the planet, Carter order SG-3 to guard the gate while she, Teal'c, and Daniel move out. Shortly afterward, after being unable to raise SG-1 on radio, Reynolds and two of his men, Peterson and Bosco, find themselves buzzed by a Goa'uld Alkesh fighter. O'Neill sends SG-10 and SG-12 to the planet as backup.

Meanwhile, Dr. Lee's plant has grown to immense portions, seemingly reacting to light. It has taken over the entire level and is using the ventilation shafts to spread airborne spoors. And then Baal projects his holographic image through the gate to tell O'Neill he has captured SG-1 and will exchange them in return for System Lord Camulus who had requested asylum on Earth (in "New Order").

Three days to zero hour: Camulus won't cooperate. O'Neill plays a gambit and ushers Camulus to the 'gate, but Camulus seems perfectly willing to be given to his enemy. After O'Neill locks him back up, Camulus, saying he didn't expect asylum would mean imprisonment, tells O'Neill of a planet with an Ancient device. Camulus had bragged about it, and this is probably what Baal is after. SG-3 goes to the planet and returns with a half-charged Zero Point Module (ZPM) — the Ancient power source that is the only thing powerful enough to activate the Ancient weapons SG-1 found at Antarctica. Then the lights go out. The plant is now in the walls and is interfering with power and communication. And then Baal comes through to say time is up. O'Neill says some of the 'gate systems are fried and dialing out is impossible — buying another day.

Later, Reynolds and Maj. Davis remind O'Neill of the poison formula that the Tok'ra developed to kill Goa'uld and which was provided to SGC two years ago. There is enough at Area 51 to negate a sizable enemy force on three planets. The problem is, no one knows on which planet SG-1 is being held. The attack would be a major one and could provoke another attack on Earth. But SGC now possesses the ZPM that could power up the ultimate Ancient weapon.

Dr. Lee has found that gamma radiation seems to work on the plant, and he prepares a method of delivering a strong enough level to the entire base. Nonessential personal will have to be evacuated and everyone remaining will need to wear protective suits. The president's visit is being cancelled. O'Neill, overwhelmed, finishes writing up his resignation letter to Hammond.

Gilmor informs O'Neill that the plant has been eradicated and Stargate dial-up restored. O'Neill is about to keep his word and send Camulus through when Dr. Lee suddenly informs O'Neill that the radiation used to kill the plant has illuminated a foreign substance in the ZPM. An electrical charge applied to samples scraped off the ZPM causes the fragments explode — the ZPM is booby-trapped and, if placed in the Ancient chair in Antarctica, would explode with enough force to destroy the planet. That's why Camulus was so eager to leave: Not having been able to make the device work, he'd made sure no one else could, either. O'Neill confronts Camulus and strikes a deal: Trade the Ancient device for the lives of SG-1 and have Camulus use it to kill Baal. Reynolds escorts Camulus to a neutral planet where he and ZPM are turned over. Yet SG-1 is not returned.

One day to zero hour: The invasion is set to begin. Just then, SG-1 makes contact via radio. They're under heavy fire, and their Dial-Home Device (DHD) is inaccessible. Carter requests the iris be opened. O'Neill is hesitant — they've been in enemy hands and their iris codes may have been compromised. But Daniel says they were never near Baal — they're on P2X-887, and have been trapped inside Anubis' secret base all this time. When they finally got out, there was a Jaffa ambush waiting for them.

O'Neill reconsiders and opens the iris. SG-1 comes home. Later, Carter informs O'Neill that after reviewing Dr. Lee's notes, the booby-trapped ZPM now in Baal's possession turns out to be powerful enough to destroy the entire solar system. Which is exactly, O'Neill explains, why he instead gave Camulus the depleted ZPM they had on hand. Baal really won't like Camulus handing him that. As O'Neill gets ready to prepare for the president's arrival, Gilmor reveals that he himself was sent by the president to evaluate O'Neill's performance before the change in command was officially announced. But O'Neill already knew that — Hammond had told him. O'Neill then adds a line to his resignation letter: "Never mind."

The world has lost one its unsung heroes: Catherine Langford, Daniel's mentor and one of the pioneers of the Stargate program, has passed away. She has left Daniel Jackson her vast collection of archeological tomes and artifacts.

Among the items, Daniel finds an original 1889 edition of The Eye of the Sun, the only one in existence. The book details the customs and rituals observed by the ancient worshippers of the sun god Ra. More important, it contains a reproduction of a wall painting, discovered by German archeologists near Giza in 1885, that depicts a ceremony over a religious artifact, which Ra's worshippers referred to as "The Heart of Light." It is clearly a Zero Point Module — the Ancient power source that could power not only Earth's defenses, but also open a wormhole to the Pegasus Galaxy.

Satellite sweeps of the Giza plateau show no traces of the ZPM's energy signature. Whether Ra took it with him when he left Earth is unknown. The SG-1 team might not know where the ZPM is, but they know where it was: Giza, in the year 3000 B.C.E. Against Carter's better judgment, she, O'Neill, Daniel and Teal'c take the Puddle Jumper equipped with the Ancient time-travel device back to 3000 B.C.E., with O'Neill — the only one who possesses the Ancient gene required to fly the craft — at the controls.

With the Jumper landed and cloaked in ancient Egypt, the team infiltrates Ra's temple and treasure chamber and takes the ZPM. There's just one problem: A sandstorm occurs during the heist, partially burying the cloaked Jumper and rendering its outline visible. The Goa'uld discover the craft but can't operate it because they lack the Ancient gene. Regardless, they keep it under guard, preventing the SG-1 team from escaping.

With the preservation of the timeline being Carter's chief concern, she suggests that the three of them live among the people until the uprising against Ra occurs. Then, with the uprising for cover, they can fly the Jumper out — hopefully without seriously altering history. In the event that they don't make it back, Daniel proposes that they bury the ZPM, so it can be found during an archeological dig that uncovered a First Dynasty tomb near Giza a month before they made this time-journey. That way, their future selves might not have to undertake this mission at all.

Flash back to the future: Egyptologist Dr. Daniel Jackson is teaching English as a Second Language, and Dr. Samantha Carter works at the Department of Aerospace Research in Washington, D.C. — proofreading other scientists' papers. They are both surprised when they are summoned to the secret base at Cheyenne Mountain on a matter of national security.

Gen. George Hammond greets them and shows them a videotape unearthed with the ZPM during a recent dig near Giza. Daniel and Carter are flabbergasted to see themselves as part of the SG-1 team, explaining about the Stargate program and how, in some alternate timeline, they've saved the Earth several times from alien invasions through the use of the stargate. The purpose of this tape, the future Dr. Jackson explains, is to provide their counterparts with the tools they'll need to go back in time and set things right in the event the timeline has been changed, which by now is obviously the case. If, for whatever reason, the stargate has not been discovered, they will have to find it and get it up and running.

Hammond tells them that his teams haven't found the gate, but in 1934, an archeologist named Langford unearthed a tablet inscribed with hieroglyphics that no one has yet been able to translate. Daniel jumps at the chance to try. Later, after examining the tablet, he offers his translation: There was an uprising, during which Ra escaped and took the stargate with him. But there is a reference to a second gate somewhere in Antarctica.

Meanwhile, attempts to coax the bereaved Col. Jack O' Neill out of retirement have failed.

Carter and Daniel are now shown something new: the Jumper, found at the excavation site. Attempts to dial the stargate address (mentioned by the Daniel Jackson on the tape) using the jumper's DHD produce no effect. But Carter notices that several eruptions in Antarctica coincide with the time that the DHD was dialed and pinpoints the location of the second gate.

The Antarctic gate is excavated and brought to Cheyenne Mountain. The gate is placed in position, the Jumper is ready, but Carter and Daniel are told that they are to be left behind. In an alternate timeline, they might be part of SG-1 and universal heroes. Here, they're just brainy scientists, without military training, about to be sent back to their ordinary lives—... but Carter and Daniel might just have other ideas about what their future holds.

To Be Continued…
