| Colonel Sheppard and his team are searching the Pegasus Galaxy for Stargates they can harvest. Since some planets are unoccupied, their gates serve no purpose. Dr. McKay and Colonel Samantha Carter devised a way to organize a Stargate string which would cross the void between Pegasus and Milky Way galaxies, which would reduce travel time on a Deep Space Carrier from three weeks to thirty minutes. McKay is ecstatic.However, at one planet they detect lifesigns and decide to investigate. There, they find a happy community in thrall to a beatific smiling schmo, Lucius Lavin. With the demeanor of a snake oil salesman, the gregarious Lucius, with six wives, is overbearing and friendly. He frantically offers to trade with the team. They beat a hasty retreat, with Sheppard in the throes of a nasty head cold. After a promise to return, Dr. Carson Beckett arrives later to discover what Lucius and his people might have to trade.Dr. Beckett soon becomes enthralled with Lucius and his silly stories, so much so that Beckett returns to Atlantis with Lucious in tow. The man brings a prized gift of a candle stuck in a gourd, presenting it to Dr. Elizabeth WeirThe team has not discovered that Lucius is ingesting a mysterious, clear elixir in private. With this mixture his body emits pheremones which cause both men and women to take an interest in him to the point, ignoring their own self-interests. The Atlantis base is soon overcome to the excitement of giddy children in Lucius's presence. The man needs a re-supply of the herb he uses to make the elixir, and manipulates everyone into wanting to risk their lives with the Wraith to retrieve some. The only planet where it is grown naturally is currently occupied by a Wraith garrison. |

| Dr. Beckett, Teyla, and Ronon Dex make the raid on the planet retrieving several large bags filled with the herb. To Sheppard's horror, they seem to be laughingly oblivious to the terrible risk they just took. And so is everyone else. When Sheppard objects, Lucius merely has to comment that something is 'wrong' with Sheppard for the others to collectively stand against him. Even the impenetrable Ronon turns his gun on his commander.Realizing he has to play along, Sheppard apologizes, admitting that he is tired. He picks his moment to return to Lucius' planet to uncover his secret. He discovers the villagers are sick and pining for the man's return -- like drug addicts in withdrawl. Sheppard locates a small quantity of the potion and returns to the base.
Sheppard abducts Dr. Beckett in a Puddle Jumper, forcing him to quit Lucius cold turkey while instructing him to formulate an antidote. Soon he and Sheppard camp out on Lantea's mainland, awaiting capture. Soon enough, Teyla and Ronon arrive by Jumper to take everyone back to the city.Believing that Dr. Beckett is going to give the A.T.A. therepy by inoculation to Lucius, he accepts the injection. Actually, he is given a dose of Beckett's antidote. Sheppard, who has mysteriously escaped, now sneaks Lucius in the Puddle Jumper and back to his planet so the rest of the base can begin their recovery.Sheppard offers to return the hapless Lucius to his own planet, but not before everyone there gets the antidote. One thing is certain: When all is said and done, not many in the village will be happy with him. |

| | STARGATE ATLANTIS SEASON THREE - ABOUT THE CAST ... | |
| Lt Colonel John Sheppard | Major in the United States military and a highly skilled pilot with a checkered past, John Sheppard commands the flagship reconnaissance team from Earth's Atlantis base. He travelled to the Pegasus Galaxy with the Atlantis expedition under the command of Dr. Elizabeth Weir, and became the base's ranking military officer following the death of Colonel Marshall Sumner at the hands of the Wraith. He leads the base's flagship reconnaissance team in exploring other worlds through the Stargate.Sheppard was based at McMurdo Air Force Base -- possibly due to the black mark on his record -- and preferred the quiet of the Antarctic. He was assigned to fly General Jack O'Neill to the remains of the Ancient outpost to oversee the research team's latest developments. There he discovered that he possesses the rare gene that allows him to use Ancient technology -- and unlike most others who possess the gene, he is a natural at it. Weir emplored O'Neill to allow Sheppard to be a part of her team despite his record, tarnished for disobeying orders to save two teammates in Afghanistan.
PLAYED BY - Joe Flanigan - Profile Picture Click Here | Dr Elizabeth Weir | Commander of the Atlantis expedition to the Pegasus Galaxy. An expert in international politics, Dr. Weir is a civilian and a diplomat who is well known for mediating for the United Nations. When President Henry Hayes took office in 2004, he placed her in command of the S.G.C. after moving General George Hammond to a new position. After standing up to Vice President Kinsey and his agenda to take control of the Stargate program, Weir led a total review of the Stargate program over the following months.Upon the promotion of Jack O'Neill, Weir was transferred to the Ancient outpost of Atlantus, left behind in Antarctica when the city of Atlantis left the planet between five and 10 million years ago. When Daniel Jackson discovered the Stargate address for Atlantis, Weir led the pioneering team through the gate. Weir's work in diplomacy was referenced by Dr. Jackson when drafting the initial treaty for the Tok'ra-Earth alliance. She speaks five languages, including Russian and Latin (the latter of which is very similar to Ancient). PLAYED BY - Torri Higginson - Profile Picture Click Here | Dr Rodney Mckay | Arrogant and condescending by personality, McKay was insistent that the Stargate's crystal memory did not contain the remains of Teal'c, and pushed for the Stargate program to recommence immediately -- destroying any chance of rescuing the Jaffa.
McKay turned out to be wrong, and with aid from a Goa'uld Teal'c was recovered. After the incident, he was swiftly reassigned to Russia to advise their new naquadah reactor program. Carter was not sad to see him go. He returned less than a year later, when his services were required to solve yet another gate-related crisis at the S.G.C. McKay arrived to learn that the gate had been open long past its 38-minute limit; the Goa'uld Anubis was using a weapon to destroy the gate, and Earth along with it.With help from a somewhat hostile Major Carter -- whom he found both increasingly attractive and worthy of his respect -- they devised a plan to save Earth by sending the Stargate away from the planet through hyperspace PLAYED BY - David Hewlett - Profile Picture Click Here | Teyla Emmagan | Daughter of Tagan, and leader of the Athosians from the planet Athos. Teyla is cautious, and must get to know someone before trusting them. She found a special connection with Major John Sheppard upon meeting the humans of Earth for the very first time.Teyla and her people use the Stargate to visit many worlds in the Pegasus Galaxy, and she had never before encountered a culture that had not heard of the Wraith -- a terrifying enemy that has oppressed her people for generations, harvesting them to feed upon their life-force. Teyla is a strong and capable warrior, and a confident leader -- though she was reluctant to say goodbye to her people to remain in Atlantis with Sheppard's reconnaissance team.While returning with Sheppard from a hidden sanctuary where her ancestors once hid from the Wraith, Teyla herself was kidnapped in a culling beam and taken to the Wraith hive ship on the Wraith homeworld. She was later rescued by Sheppard and Lieutenant Aiden Ford.Teyla returned to Atlantis and met even more humans from the Tau'ri, eventually establishing a colony there for her people. She dedicated her services to helping seek out new allies for the humans now based in the Pegasus Galaxy, and her experience with other cultures makes her an ideal guide for the humans from Earth. Teyla also possesses an extra-sensory awareness of the Wraith when they are near. PLAYED BY - Rachel Luttrell - Profile Picture Click Here | Dr Beckett | Biologist and chief medical doctor at Earth's Atlantis base in the Pegasus Galaxy. Beckett was originally assigned as a representative from Scotland to the Ancient outpost in the Antarctic, where it was discovered that he possessed a rare gene from the Ancients that allows him to use their technology. In fact, it was Beckett who discovered the gene necessary to operate many Ancient devices.Despite the fact that Beckett himself is not especially technologically inclined, Dr. Rodney McKay forced him into the outpost's command chair in the hopes of learning something more about the technology. Beckett accidentally activated a dormant drone weapon, but was able to shut it back down before it harmed General O'Neill and Major Sheppard as they traveled toward the base in a helicopter. A member of the expedition under the command of Elizabeth Weir, Beckett traveled through the Stargate to Atlantis. One of his first duties was to dissect a severed Wraith arm that Sheppard brought back from Athos after the creature's Dart was shot down. PLAYED BY - Paul McGillion - Profile Picture Click Here | Ronon Dex | Once a military soldier on the planet Sateda, Specialist Ronon Dex became a runner when the Wraith took him from his home. Ronon defended his world during a devestating Wraith culling seven years ago, but was swept up in a culling beam. He was taken aboard a hive ship, but when a Wraith attempted to feed on him something forced it to stop. Instead of dying as food, Ronon was made a runner: The Wraith implanted a transmitter in his back and let him go, hunting him across many worlds for sport, for training, or for some other, unknown reason. Ronon possesses a gun with both stun and kill settings. A cunning and skilled warrior, he hunted his hunters, killing many Wraith. But he could never return home, nor could he stay in one place for too long. Once, when he stopped to eat a meal and get a night's sleep in a village, the Wraith showed up the next day and destroyed it. PLAYED BY - Jason Momoa - Profile Picture Click Here |
