Daniel Jackson has come aboard the Prometheus for her trip to Atlantis, under the command of a returning General George Hammond. En route, however, the ship gets intercepted and is soon held under siege by one Kull Warrior (…or so, the crew thinks). With Daniel held prisoner on the bridge and Hammond and the rest of the crew trapped onboard the Kull Warrior’s Al’kesh, the Prometheus’s route is thrown off-course.
(Spoiler alert: They never make it to Atlantis.)
