Mission Summary[]
The team heads through the gate and splits up, with Mordecai and Sodan setting up camp at the Ancient ruins while Atlas and Ann head to the nearby village. The ruins are a geodesic dome in a state of disrepair. The sign out front says in Ancient "something Power Research". The village is a pre-industrial civilization, and they see off-world visitors often. They call their planet "Belias", and they are known as "Belians". Atlas and Ann speak to the mayor of the village. They are pointed to an "expert" on the ruins named Auctore.
Mordecai and Sodan investigate the ruins after setting up camp, and Sodan attempts to learn the game Minesweeper. They go down some stairs and find gigantic pit with some computerized equipment. The pit has a faint glow.
Atlas and Ann visit Auctore. His house has a sign out front that says "Go Away" in several languages. They meet an amazing robot of Ancient construction, who refuses to let them enter the house. They slap a sticky note to the back of the robot.
Later, Sodan breaks into the house and finds several journals and research, along with tracks that lead back to the Ancient facility. The team goes to the facility to observe and investigate. Xolotl impersonates a Scarecrow, while the rest of the team hides. They confront Auctore and the robot at the facility and find out that Auctore is a remorseful old Goa'uld.
Soon afterwards, the ground shakes and the facility appears to be on the brink of destruction.
