| When a Wraith hive ship is detected on approach to Atlantis, Dr. Carson Beckett is deployed to the Ancient's drone weapon chair, prepared to fire on it. On Earth, Dr. Elizabeth Weir receives the report and authorizes the cloak to be engaged from her position at Stargate Command. She has been recalled to answer questions on her failure to contain information about Earth from the Wraith. Fortunately it is Colonel Sheppard and his team who is aboard the hive. Back on Earth, Richard Woolsey of the I.O.A. informs Weir that she is temporarily approved for command while he makes an investigation on site in Atlantis. As a result of using Dr. Beckett's iratus bug retro-virus on the Wraith hive ship defeated in the void between the galaxies, Atlantis has prisoners of war: Wraith turned into human beings with erased memories. Because keeping them in stasis on board the hive ship consumes so much power, a POW camp is established on a planet with no Stargate. The problem with making Wraith into humans is that they must receive regular injections of Beckett's treatments or they will revert into Wraith. Therefore the doctor is compelled to remain with them for the time being. |

| Among the POWs is Michael., recently reconverted by Beckett into a human. He had been on the hive ship when Ronon Dexand Dr. McKay were captured. Knowing that his own people didn't trust him anymore (they felt he was not entirely a Wraith), Michael decided to help the Atlantis humans in return for sanctuary. Initially, they gave it to him. But he was frustrated by his limited freedom. Ronon was ordered to stun and subdue him while Dr. Beckett injected the retrovirus -- and Michael Kenmore was resurrected anew.However, Latham, one of the human-Wraith, is beginning to remember bits of his past. He is sure that the truth is being kept from his group. Michael tries to reason and console him, but the man slips out of camp, wishing to to avoid the next scheduled medical treatment for the "plague" for which the Dr. Beckett is ostensibly treating them. Out in the woods, he begins to revert.Once the man is discovered missing, a search party of human-Wraith confront him. He tries to tell them that they are being deceived. Instead, the others kill him and leave the body at the base of the ridge in a posture meant to resemble suicide.
Woolsey's investigation asks pointed questions concerning the many decisions made concerning the Wraith. He interviews Sheppard over the decision to create the 200 Wraith-human community on the POW planet. He objects to Weir, who tells him that Woolsey is more likely to help them than anyone else at the I.O.A. |
| Dr. Beckett follows the Wraith to a gathering in the woods. They have also begun to revert. Michael discovers him. His Wraith features are returning, and most of his memory is back -- enough to know he's been betrayed twice. They waited until Sheppard left with the soldiers so that only the medical staff was present to make their move. These reverted Wraith have focused their communicative energies to contact a hive ship, which is now on the way.Woolsey points out the problem of leaving the Wraith-humans to be found by other Wraith. Knowing what was done, they would know Atlantis still exists, and Michael knows how to find Atlantis -- and Earth. This secret must be protected.Sheppard is forced to return and deal with the Wraith with nukes. The Daedalus is not operational enough to make the strike on the camp, so he chooses to use the captured hive ship. The only individual remotely capable of controlling it is Teyla because she possesses some of the Wraith gene. Having the gene means she can activate controls others can not. When the craft reaches orbit, secondary systems come online because other Wraith life signs are detected. McKay realizes some of the prisoners have reverted. By acting together, they have managed to call their brethren.
Michael interrogates Dr. Beckett in the hopes of discovering any backup plan left behind by Sheppard in case something goes wrong while he's away. He learns that all Sheppard has to do is send a signal to activate a nuke in the camp. Hoping to save Becket and the guards, Sheppard takes a Puddle Jumper to the planet to deposit the nuke himself.The team arrives to find only Dr. Beckett alive. They make it to the Jumper and tell McKay to detonate the nuke. Nothing happens. Michael has deactivated it. Sheppard orders a strike from the captured hive ship. At that moment, another Wraith hive arrives and fires on Sheppard's hive. They cannot be certain they've eliminated everyone in the encampment on the surface.Later, the Daedalus arrives to see only debris from the captured hive ship. No life signs are on the planet. Sheppard and his team managed to escape their destroyed hive ship cloaked in the Puddle Jumper. They dock with the Daedalus and depart.Woolsey returns to Earth to report on his findings to the I.O.A.. He will recommend that Weir remain in command. In fact, he intends to doctor his reports in her favor. |

| | 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 |
