[edit] Part 1

On a planet Teal'c and Bra'tac visit a place where many dead Jaffa lie. They find a dead Goa'uld named Tilgath who wanted to forge an alliance with Ramius, whom they think betrayed Tilgath. They find Ramius' First Prime who tells them that they were attacked by a warrior, who then appears and kills the First Prime. Teal'c and Bra'tac fire on him with their staff weapons, but to no avail. The warrior then attacks with some sort of energy weapon on his arm but is finally killed by Teal'c with a zat. The warrior is then brought to Stargate Command where the two Jaffa inform SG-1 and Gen. Hammond.

Together with Jacob Carter, Maj. Carter examines the warrior, and together they discover that he is a genetic creation, brought to life by a Goa'uld symbiote. They also find out that the warrior died because of a heart attack and not because of the zat. Later it is found out that the warrior was apparently not alive when he was created and so Selmak tells them how the sarcophagus was created by a Goa'uld named Telchak (who used a device of the Ancients) since he thinks that the warrior was created by the technology which created the sarcophagus. Daniel remembers some research his grandfather Nicholas Ballard did about the Fountain of Youth and they find out that Anubis created the warriors because he stole Telchak's research on the sarcophagus technology. Gen. Hammond then allows Daniel to find Telchak's Ancient device. So Daniel travels with Dr. Lee to Honduras, where, according to Ballard's researches, Telchak's temple should lie. They are accompanied by a guide.

At the SGC, the others plan to capture one of the "super soldiers" alive by stunning him with a small dart that should penetrate his armor. SG-1, some SG teams and Jaffa go to Ramius' planet since they think that a warrior will appear there. When the warrior arrives, he withstands all their weapons, kills some Jaffa and finally escapes, while the others are captured by Ramius' Jaffa and imprisoned. They are confronted by the Goa'uld, but he doesn't believe them their story about the warrior. They then discuss what to do about the warrior when suddenly they hear the warrior attack and the guarding Jaffa run to their master. It turns out that he was killed and so the Jaffa let the prisoners go. SG-1 is then able to capture the warrior with an Al'kesh.

In Honduras the three go through the jungle in search for the temple and finally find a hidden entrance to it, which Daniel and Lee enter. At a dead end they finally find the Ancient healing device but when they remove it from its location they activate a trap and the temple is flooded. The two hardly make it to the entrance, but when they leave the temple they are confronted by guerrillas, who take them with them and even shoot the guide when he tries to flee. In the guerrilla camp, Dr. Jackson and Dr. Lee are interrogated but refuse to tell the truth. The guerilla leader threatens them with torture and death.

At SGC they try to interrogate the prisoner but he only tells them that he serves Anubis. However thanks to a Tok'ra memory device they are able to find out that the warrior was created on a planet named Tartarus. Suddenly General Hammond comes in and tells them that Dr. Jackson and Dr. Lee were kidnapped and may have crossed the border into Nicaragua, much to the shock of the others.

[edit] Part 2

In the guerilla camp, Daniel is questioned by their leader Rafael but refuses to tell him anything. Rafael starts to torture Daniel with electricity. Giving up, Rafael returns Daniel to the locked shack where Daniel and Dr. Lee are being held prisoner, and takes Dr. Lee.

At the SGC, Gen. Hammond informs O'Neill that there are ransoms for Dr. Jackson and Dr. Lee. He later informs him that O'Neill is allowed to rescue Jackson with the help of a CIA agent named Burke, whom O'Neill seems to know. The Colonel says goodbye to Carter. Later in the conference room, Jacob informs the others about Tartarus and that the Stargate there is heavily protected by a force field. Selmak decides to use the armor of the super-soldier to gain access to Tartarus to deactivate the sensor array so that Sam, Teal'c and Bra'tac can access the planet with a Tel'tak. Although it is a dangerous plan, they all agree to execute it.

In Nicaragua, O'Neill meets Burke who informs him about what has happened and the situation between Nicaragua and Honduras. They start to quarrel about their past. Apparently, Burke was discharged from the military for accidentally shooting and killing a fellow soldier. Burke leaves. Meanwhile, in the rebel camp, Lee is returned to the shack and tells Daniel that he told the guerillas all he knew. Rafael activates the Ancient device.

Back at SGC, Jacob takes on the armor and enters Tartarus where he is taken to a laboratory by a Goa'uld named Thoth, who examines him. Suddenly Anubis enters the room and calls Thoth away. Meanwhile Sam, Teal'c and Bra'tac wait in a Tel'tak near the planet and while Sam is angry about her father's stubbornness, the sensor array is deactivated and they fly to the planet.

In Honduras, O'Neill and a guide find Telchak's temple where they meet Burke again and the two former friends start to look for Daniel. After some time they find Daniel's guide who was shot but is still alive. Later Burke tells O'Neill that he killed the other soldier because he was a traitor, but kept silent because of his wife. In the rebel camp Daniel is further questioned and is shocked to see that the device was activated. He tells him that it is dangerous. Another rebel wants to deactivate the device, but Rafael kills him.

On Tartarus Teal'c and Sam are let into Anubis' base by Jacob and they find a Goa'uld queen symbiote, which is creating larvae without a mind, in the same way the Tok'ra Queen Symbiote Egeria from Pangar did. They then find a room with thousands of super-soldiers, ready to be fashioned into the Kull Warriors by Anubis. Thoth finds them but is killed by Sam, which triggers an alarm. They escape (after blowing up the queen with C-4) but are chased by Kull Warriors and one of them makes it into the cargo ship. They beam the soldier out with the Ring Transporter.

The killed rebel is reanimated by the device and he starts to attack the guerrillas violently. In the ensuing mayhem, Jackson and Lee escape but are quickly found. Before Rafael can kill Daniel, O'Neill kills the rebels. The reanimated rebel arrives and is blown up by Burke. They then take the healing device and leave.

Back at SGC, SG-1 is reunited and O'Neill invites Sam for a meal.
