Koyla and his men
After receiving a list of Stargate addresses where there should be Zero Point Modules from an alternate Dr. Elizabeth Weir, Major John Sheppard's team searched the planet Dagan which was on the list. Dagan proved to be the most promising because of the legend of the Potentia which was revealed to have been a ZPM. With the help of Allina and Sanir the team searched for and found eight of the nine Brotherhood Stones to the location of the ZPM, but Sanir was really a Genii spy who alerted the Genii to what they were up to. Commander Acastus Kolya, after being kicked out of Cowen's inner circle for failing in the Genii invasion of Atlantis, saw getting the ZPM as a way to deprive the expedition of more power and to redeem himself in the eyes of Cowen. He also saw it as a chance to get revenge on Sheppard who had shot him in the shoulder during their last encounter, a wound that still gave him pain. Koyla led a team of six men, including himself to Dagan where he had one of his men dart Lt. Aiden Ford unconscious while the rest of the team were in the chamber where the ZPM was. When Koyla and his men approached, Ford revealed he was faking unconsciousness and killed one of the Genii soldiers and took Tathal hostage before being overpowered. Sheppard and his team were shocked to hear Koyla's voice, having believed him to be dead, and were shocked and angered by Sanir's treachery.
Allina takes the Zero Point Module.
Koyla ended up making a deal with the team: Dr. Rodney McKay finds the ZPM and he gets it and they get to go free, but he leaves everyone but McKay, Allina and Sanir trapped in the chamber without weapons or radios while he, his men and those three go check out the planet that McKay believes the last stone to be on. Three of the Genii are left to guard the chamber while Koyla, Pranos, McKay and Allina search for the last stone. They discover the Stargate address doesn't work, but McKay finds the last stone in the monastery's mural and the four return to the chamber where Sheppard, Ford and Teyla Emmagan have set a trap using a hidden knife Teyla possessed and two Stun grenades belonging to Ford. At the chamber, Pranos is killed when he tries to activate the stones in the wrong order, but Sheppard is able to figure out the right order and gets the ZPM. Taking advantage of the fact that Koyla is distracted, Ford detonates his grenades, stunning the Genii, Allina and McKay who are unaware of what is going on. Teyla kills two with her knife while Sheppard fights Koyla, eventually overpowering him and getting his FN P90 Personal Defense Weapon back from him while Ford overpowers the last Genii soldier and holds him with his own gun. Having defeated Koyla and his men, McKay retrieves the ZPM while Koyla tells Sheppard he should kill him. Sheppard chooses not to, telling Koyla he expects points with him for that next time, but swears to kill him if he ever does anything against them again. Sheppard promises to send a villager back to get Koyla and his remaining man in awhile before leaving the two in the chamber to be later retrieved. Unfortunately, even after Koyla is defeated, Sheppard and his team still don't get the ZPM as the villagers take it away from them to be hidden again as they are not Ancients.[2]
