The Skirmish on M33-985 was an event that took place in 2008 during the Tau'ri-Wraith war.
Prelude[]
After Celise is injured, a Runner named Kiryk travels to M33-985 to find the Atlantis doctor that he learns is there treating sick people.[3]
Battle[]
Knowing the Wraith will track him to the planet, Kiryk hides Celise in a cave and sets up traps for the Wraith that follow him. Kiryk manages to kidnap Dr. Jennifer Keller and heads to the cave tracked by Dr. Rodney McKay and Ronon Dex. While traveling to the Stargate to alert Atlantis, four Hunter Wraith arrive to hunt Kiryk and one of them goes after McKay, but Ronon kills it. While Keller and Kiryk are traveling to the cave, they are attacked by one of the hunters, but Kiryk kills it with a sword after using his Transporter wrist device to get behind him. Later, while stopping to shake out a rock from his boot, McKay comes under attack from another Wraith, but manages to kill it and he takes its Wraith tracking system in order to follow Kiryk easier. While tracking him, they find that another Wraith fell into one of Kiryk's traps and was killed, but at the cave, three Wraith attack. Kiryk kills two, but is stunned by the third who goes after Celise, but is killed by Keller. The next morning Keller manages to disable Kiryk's tracking device with a defibrillator, but the deactivation causes more Wraith, including two Wraith Darts to show up and Kiryk's Transporter wrist device to be fried. After Ronon and McKay unite with Keller, Kiryk and Celise, three Wraith show up and attack them. Keller fights off one Wraith while Ronon and Kiryk fight the other two. Eventually McKay manages to reload his pistol and kills the Wraith Keller is fighting while Ronon and Kiryk kill the other two with Kiryk's sword. The group makes its way to the Stargate, but find it defended by Wraith, but McKay fixes the Transporter wrist device so Kiryk attacks them as a distraction until the device needs to recharge then he starts dialing the Stargate while exchanging fire with the Wraith.[3]
Aftermath[]
Kiryk leaves through the Stargate and all the Wraith follow him, leaving his fate unknown but ending the Wraith presence on the planet and allowing the people of the planet who'd been hiding to come out.[3]
