During a meeting of permanent members of the UN Security Council at the Pentagon, Colonel Chekov speaks with the Chinese ambassador about a sunken U-boat. When General Hammond and Major Davis arrive, they explain that this meeting is actually intended to inform the ambassadors about the Stargate program. They are also informed about the nature of the Stargate and other such devices but the ambassadors are initially in disbelief. They are also informed about the Russian involvement, and a clip from the episode Nemesis is shown; when SG-1 leaves Thor's ship with the Stargate.

While they talk about some meteors being in fact alien spaceships, Senator Kinsey appears and is finally able to convince the ambassadors in believing in the Stargate. However he also tells them about the threat for Earth and he lays the blame largely on SG-1. The ambassadors are also informed about the Goa'uld and their ships (several clips from different episodes are shown which present the different types of ships). They also show how the Goa'uld attack and act towards a planet (again clips from several episodes are shown when the Goa'uld attack planets). They talk about the threats of Apophis and the new threat presented by Anubis and his attempts to destroy Earth (a clip is shown when Anubis tries to throw an asteroid at Earth).

The representatives of the USA and Russia then hope that the countries which are present will help them because of their military strength. However, the Chinese ambassador thinks that the general public should be informed. Afterwards a clip is shown when SG-1 uses a Stargate to blow up a sun to destroy Apophis' fleet. The ambassadors are presented with the new technologies the SGC has invented (like the X-301 and X-302) (again clips from former episodes are shown of SG-1 using the new ships). Afterwards the ambassadors are informed about the X-303, Prometheus.

The Chinese ambassador becomes angry when he sees these new ships and the fact that the Stargate program is solely under US-control. Senator Kinsey then tells them about the NID, and argues that this organization should have control over the Stargate program. General Hammond is reluctant about this proposal due to the dubious nature of the organization (a clip is shown from the episode when Hammond resigned due to threats made by the NID against his family). The ambassadors are informed about the time when NID-agents captured a weather-control device (again clip shown) and how the rogue NID-members are captured by Jack O'Neill and the Asgard.

Afterwards Kinsey informs the ambassadors about the threats to Earth which are a consequence of the operation of the Stargate, for example when they made contact with a black hole and of how alien-entities, like the Replicators, infiltrated the base. Kinsey states that he can't allow General Hammond to keep control of the SGC any longer.

During a break, Hammond talks with Major Davis about the fact that he still has an ace up his sleeve, while Colonel Chekov talks to the Chinese ambassador about the Russian position in the program. When the discussion starts again, Hammond talks about the Asgard and suddenly Thor beams into the room. Thor then informs the ambassadors about the help which the Asgard got from SG-1 and he also says that the control should be kept under control of Hammond. Afterwards, all ambassadors agree with Thor's assessment.
