Year: 1998

On an offworld mission, SG-1 watches from hiding as Goa’uld force the members of a primitive society to mine naquahdah and offer it up as tribute to their masters. When Daniel spots a young woman about to jump from a precipice, he breaks his cover to save her, and the entire team is captured and sent to labor in the naquahdah mines. When O’Neill and Teal’c launch an escape attempt, it’s nearly successful until the Goa’uld guards cause a tunnel to collapse on top of Daniel. The daughter of the local ruler – the same woman Daniel saved – rejuvenates Daniel with a Goa’uld sarcophagus. But her father does not carry a Goa’uld symbiont – he is revered as a god simply because he has continually used the sarcophagus himself, extending his life by hundreds of years. After he is healed, Daniel isn’t returned to slave labor, but instead becomes consort to the princess, who convinces him to begin using the sarcophagus on a regular basis as well.

On the world where SG-1 encountered and destroyed the Goa’uld-killing device known as Thor’s Hammer, a Goa’uld attack force led by Heru’ur – the child of Ra and Hathor – has overrun the planet. Without Thor’s Hammer to stop them, the indigenous humans have been forced underground, or have been captured and enslaved. Gairwyn, who has survived the attacks, leads O’Neill and his comrades to a place called the Hall of Thor’s Might, and Carter and Daniel join Gairwyn in trying to decipher the Hall’s puzzles. Teal’c and O’Neill try to prepare the decimated local population to do battle with an overwhelming invasion force. But whether the mysteries of Thor’s hall provide them with a new means of doing battle with the Goa’uld, O’Neill and the others are keenly aware that whatever happens to this world and its people are a direct result of SG-1’s intervention, and the team is prepared to pay the price.

Exploring a lifeless world – one which Teal’c is certain once supported abundant life – SG-1 encounters an unusual artifact which seems to be emitting a power signature, despite being at least a thousand years old. Carter and Daniel both set about trying to explore the object’s mysterious nature, with a definite deadline: the NID organization wants to study its power source. When the artifact finally activates, it seems determined not to let anyone interfere with it. O’Neill and Teal’c rush it to the gate room to dispose of it, but the object fires metal spikes into the walls and floors, impaling O’Neill through the shoulder and the concrete wall behind him. General Hammond orders a lockdown of the base, and Dr. Fraiser discovers an alien organism is also being released by the device, infecting the entire base. Even when Hammond sets the base’s auto-destruct, he may be unwittingly providing the organism with the means to overrun the entire Earth.

An incoming wormhole brings Master Bra’tac to the SGC, bearing bad news – Apophis is still alive, and has captured Teal’c’s son, Rya’c. Bra’tac believes that Apophis has lost his status among the Goa’uld System Lords as a result of SG-1 thwarting his attack on Earth. To regain his standing, Apophis hopes to lure Teal’c into a trap with his son as the bait. And another unpleasant surprise awaits Teal’c on Chulak when he discovers that his wife, Drey’auc, as declared their marriage dissolved in his absence, taking his old colleague Fro’tak as her new husband. When the team tries to rescue Rya’c, he betrays their presence to the guards and runs. It appears that Apophis has brainwashed Rya’c, but before he can be recovered and brought back to Earth, Teal’c and his teammates will have to endure other painful betrayals as well.

As promised, Daniel returns to Abydos, one year to the day after he left, to tell his wife’s father that he has not found her yet. But Daniel is shocked to find that Sha’re has been returned to Abydos already, apparently under her own control – and very pregnant. She is bearing the child of Apophis, bred to be the future host of his Goa’uld symbiont. Teal’c wants to bring Sha’re back to the SGC as soon as possible, since she knows whatever strategic information her Goa’uld symbiont knows, but before they can get her through the stargate, a Goa’uld ship arrives – a rival of Apophis who wants to steal the child. Unable to travel to Abydos due to an appointment in Washington D.C., O’Neill, Carter and General Hammond are dealing with a crisis of their own. O’Neill has been approached by a reporter who has far too much knowledge of the stargate program, and Carter’s father, who has no knowledge of what she really does, is trying to pull strings to get her into NASA.

SG-1’s latest journey takes them to an advanced, civilized world – one with pollution-free air, beautiful architecture…but no advanced civilization. The only life they do find there is insect life hundreds of times bigger than anything on Earth, and one of them stings Teal’c. O’Neill and the others get Teal’c back to the stargate and escape back to the SGC, closing the iris just in time to deflect hundreds of similar insects. Even with his Goa’uld-enhanced immune system, Teal’c is helpless. Carter contacts an old friend of hers who has the necessary security clearances to visit the SGC, but when he arrives, he’s part of a package deal – Colonel Maybourne of NID comes with him, with orders to transfer Teal’c to their facilities for study. Teal’c quickly breaks out of Maybourne’s custody en route, and even remove his own Goa’uld symbiont before disappearing into the nearest city. In the meantime, another trip through the stargate to the insect-ridden world nets a live specimen for SG-1 – as well as evidence that the enormous insects use humans (or Jaffa) as walking nutrient vats for their larvae. And if Teal’c “hatches” the larvae inside him, it will not only kill him, but could cause what happened on that world to happen on Earth.

LogBook entry by Earl Green

After months of trying to remember something from her brief joining with the Tok’ra Jolinar, Carter has a vision of Tok’ra resistance fighters escaping from the Goa’uld through a stargate – a vision that’s clear enough that she can remember the gate coordinates used. Following those coordinates leads SG-1 to an arid desert planet, and they find the Tok’ra quickly enough, though it takes time before there is enough trust between the two parties to establish a dialogue. Even once the Tok’ra explain what makes them different from the System Lords – they do not force others to become hosts, and they do not use the Goa’uld sacrophagus technology to extend the lives of joined hosts – O’Neill can’t quite bring himself to trust them. Nor are the Tok’ra content to simple let SG-1 return home with what they know. And when Carter’s father – who only recently admitted to her that he was battling cancer – begins to lose his battle, SG-3 is sent through the gate to bring Carter back to Earth, but the Tok’ra interpret the new arrivals as an invasion force.
