The Escape from Todd's hive ship was an event that took place in 2008 during the Tau'ri-Wraith war.
Prelude[]
Todd's Hive ship arrives in orbit of New Lantea and automatically sends a video message to Atlantis for help. Todd and his crew have taken Dr. Jennifer Keller's gene therapy but it has left them with a disease so they set course for Atlantis and went into stasis hoping the people of Atlantis could find a cure.[3]
Battle[]
On board the team finds power fluctuations, walls melting and appearing and Wraith warriors attacking them as the power fluctuations have triggered a safety protocol that causes the pods to open. After reviving Todd they discover that the disease has infected the Hive ship itself as well. Dr. Rodney McKay shuts down most of the pods, killing those Wraith, but not before a couple of dozen are released. The three teams, excluding McKay and Keller go after those Wraith, but the ship starts to break apart. The teams manage to get to the forward section and McKay seals the bulkheads before the ship breaks in half, killing the Wraith in the rear section and leaving Todd as the only Wraith still left alive. He manages to land the front half of the Hive ship on the planet's ocean using the Maneuvering thrusters and they are rescued by teams from Atlantis before the Hive ship sinks.[3]
Aftermath[]
Todd is later released to seek a dangerous cure that he is aware of which leaves him grateful to the Atlantis expedition.[3]
