The Prometheus's Naquadria reactor core is ejected into space.Īfter the short flight they establish an orbit around the planet, but the Naquadria reactor suddenly overloads, forcing the crew to jettison it. They decide to fly there, using the hyperspace engines for a short jump, to find a Stargate. Jonas Quinn identifies-from the cartouche-the gate address of a nearby planet, P3X-744, which is only 0.38 light years away. In addition, they are unable to repair the buffer. Suddenly, the ship drops out of hyperspace.Ĭoncerned, Ronson heads off while O'Neill summons Teal'c and Major Samantha Carter to the bridge.Īfter some investigation, the crew finds out that the reactor's buffer overloaded because they came in contact with a gravitational wave from a star while in hyperspace. As Gant heads off, O'Neill and Ronson meet in the elevator Ronson tells O'Neill that the Prometheus's crew needs to be able to count on Ronson himself and each on other once SG-1 has left. Ronson tells Gant he wants another battle drill to begin at 0500. Later, the Prometheus, having received a go from Vandenberg Air Force Base goes into hyperspace for a shakedown cruise mission to P7X-009.

Hammond advises O'Neill to enjoy the journey before ending the call. Despite O'Neill's misgivings, Hammond believes that having SG-1 on board is the best option, considering how SG-1 has valuable experience with both hyperspace travel and the Prometheus itself. Hammond, believing that SG-1 are getting in the way. He and Teal'c of Chulak head to the bridge with O'Neill talking to Ronson before eventually relenting, enabling the drill to go on. On board the ship are SG-1 and Colonel Jack O'Neill isn't too happy about the constant drills. However, the situation is nothing more than a battle simulation drill to help the ship and its crew prepare for the real-life battles it will go through someday once its shakedown cruise is complete. orders Major Erin Gant to sound general quarters as the ship prepares for battle. In orbit around Earth, the Prometheus, now finally having undergone upgrades and also been completed detects a Goa'uld Ha'tak vessel and prepares to attack it.Ĭolonel William Ronson, the ship's C.O.

However, the planet's military leader has other plans. The crew cannot contact Earth for help because the planet's Stargate is buried, and they have to find it. The Prometheus' hyperdrive is ejected when the drive's Naquadria becomes unstable, and the Prometheus lands on a planet named Tagrea.
