The ship SG-1 is on is badly damaged and an easy target for Apophis but luckily another ship arrives and starts attacking Apophis which allows SG-1 to temporarily retreat and hide behind a planet nearby. Once some repairs are carried out SG-1 venture out to see where Apophis is and they discover his ship has no life signs on board so they decide to use the transport rings to go and investigate. SG-1 soon learn that the ship has been over-run by Replicators and that it's set to auto-destruct, so they return to their own ship. A message from a transport ship is transmitted and SG-1 and Jacob are relieved to find that Teal'c is in the helm and alive and well. However when he boards they soon find out that he has been brainwashed because he thinks he's the First Prime of Apophis and takes SG-1 and Jacob prisioners.

They are introduced to SG-1 as the Aschen and appear to be the saviours of the planet - they help the people to cultivate their lands and are highly respected by the hundreds that populate the planet. However O'Neill isn't happy he finds it suspicious that they won't tell SG-1 their home world co-ordinates so he tells Daniel to start snooping around and find out as much as he can about the Ashen and the history of the planet. Teal'c and Daniel soon discover an underground city which was not so long ago populated by millions who were just as technologically advanced as Earth.
