Battle[]
During a mission to Memphis to check out intelligence received from the Tok'ra on the Goa'uld building a base there, SG-1 comes across Tanith and are forced to flee to the Stargate chased by Death Gliders and Tanith himself in an Al'kesh.
Colonel Jack O'Neill, Major Samantha Carter and Teal'c (armed with a Staff cannon) guard Dr. Daniel Jackson as he dials the Stargate and everyone but Teal'c rush through it after it opens. Teal'c, upon seeing Tanith in the cockpit of the Al'kesh, waits until it gets closer and then uses his staff cannon to destroy the cockpit, killing Tanith and causing the ship to crash into the Dial Home Device as Teal'c escapes through the Stargate, cutting the wormhole off in transit.
Knowing that Teal'c's energy signature will be permanently erased if a new wormhole is formed, Carter suggests that the Iris be moved to stop incoming wormholes from being activated. While Jackson and Major Paul Davis head to Russia to talk to Colonel Chekov in the hope of getting a DHD, Carter finds herself working alongside Dr. Rodney McKay who arrogantly insists that Teal'c is long dead.
However, it's soon revealed that Colonel Frank Simmons is guilty of treason, having taken the Goa'uld possessing Adrian Conrad to an NID safehouse. As such, Simmons is arrested while McKay is sent to Russia as a part of a deal that Jackson and Davis forged with the Russians while Teal'c is rescued from the Stargate and shares the good news of Tanith's death with the team although the DHD is destroyed in the process.[2]
