To stop the Goa’uld invasion, the SG-1 team disobeys orders and transports itself to the Goa’uld attack headquarters. Landing amidst preparations for an all-out strike on Earth, the way home is blocked. Can the team avert disaster and save humanity? [Edit]

The stargate is being shut down by the U.S. government, despite Dr. Daniel Jackson's warning of an imminent Goa'uld attack on Earth.

The SG-1 team, armed to the teeth, defies orders to make an unauthorized trip through the stargate, to what they believe to be the origin of the impending attack. They find themselves on a Goa'uld ship full of Jaffa warriors, traveling through space at many times the speed of light. They also find that they're trapped there; the stargate will no longer connect back to Earth.

As Capt. Samantha Carter and Daniel wire the ship with explosives, O'Neill and Teal'c discover that Skaara is aboard. Skaara was once the young Abydonian friend to O'Neill, but now is the host body to Klorel, son of Goa'uld system lord Apophis.

Is Skaara's human spirit still alive under that fierce exterior, or has it been consumed by Klorel? The futures of the SG-1 team and of Earth depend on the answer. [Edit]
