Battle[]
Major John Sheppard, Dr. Rodney McKay, Dr. Abrams and Dr. Brendan Gall go to check out an Lagrangian Point satellite near the orbit of the second planet in the Lantean system. There they detect a signal and land on the planet. Checking out the signal they find a crashed Wraith supply ship, apparently shot down during the siege by the defense satellite. Exploring, they find that all of the humans being transported are dead and so appear to be the crew. Unfortunately it turns out that there is one Wraith survivor. He survived by feeding on the humans being transported and his own crew. He feeds on Abrams to death and feeds on Gall until he's very weak. The Wraith then goes to the Puddle Jumper landed nearby, but as the Jumper requires the Ancient Technology Activation gene to operate, he is unable to fly it. Sheppard lures him away from the Jumper but he puts up some kind of shield that prevents entry into it. Despite all of Sheppard's best efforts to kill him, he survives each attempt due to having fed recently and Sheppard's weapons are damaged and he is injured. McKay wants to help but due to helping Gall is unable to. Gall tries to convince him to go, but when he can't kills himself. McKay arrives to help Sheppard and unloads two pistol clips into the Wraith to little effect. Another Jumper arrives to help and using a power bar, Sheppard gets the Light bugs to gather around the Wraith. He has the Puddle Jumper lock onto the Wraith's lifesign (which is the strongest due to the light bugs swarming around him) from orbit and fires a Drone weapon into him. The drone destroys and kills the Wraith, ending the battle.[3]
