History[]
- "Why is it that I find empty Hives even creepier than ones that are full of Wraith?"
- ―Rodney McKay[src]
This Hive Ship shows up over Atlantis transmitting a distress call, Lt. Colonel John Sheppard's team discovers that its crew has been stricken with a disease they helped create. After being tracked for several days, it exited hyperspace over New Lantea and transmitted a file to Atlantis, which has taken precautionary defensive measures including raising the cloak. After seeing the highly corrupted video file, Lt. Colonel John Sheppard and First Atlantis Reconnaissance Team|his team are sent to try and make contact with the Hive via cloaked Puddle Jumper.
However, as they try to establish radio contact, Dr. Rodney McKay discovers that there are no life-signs aboard. Curious as to how the ship flew itself to Atlantis, the team lands in the ship's Dart bay. Upon securing the - apparently abandoned - ship and making their way to the bridge, they discover that the Wraith crew is in stasis, with all hands stricken with a disease caused in part by Dr. Jennifer Keller's gene therapy. The team also notices a series of power fluctuations occurring on the ship, wreaking havoc on the ship's systems.
The team later noticed that the ship's schematics - which they were using to navigate through the ship - were no longer accurate, as new walls were forming and other ones are being destroyed... literally melting away. As such, the team attempted to leave the ship, as it was experiencing an increasing amount of power fluctuations and systems failure, and the team didn't want to take the chance that any more Wraith would inadvertently come out of hibernation due to a subroutine in the ship that automatically revives them during power failures. However, a possible escape route to the dart bay had been blocked by a newly formed wall, leaving only one other passage... a passage that has been completely destroyed, leaving a huge gap in the ship, and the team stranded.
McKay then comes up with a theory as to the ship's problems: Because Wraith ships are organic and repair themselves, it is possible that the ship is repairing itself incorrectly. However, because the problems with the ship are too serious and lacking the knowledge to properly fix it, McKay persuades Sheppard to revive Todd. It is Todd who discovers the reason for the ship's problems: during hibernation, fluids are exchanged between the Hive Ship and the occupant of the hibernation pod. Because the Wraith in the pods were infected with the virus, the ship became infected with it as well, leading to the power failures and malfunctions.
The Hive ship descends
As the ship began to loose integrity, a massive stress point spanning the entire width of the ship finally fails, splitting the ship in half moments after the teams fighting the Wraith make it to the front portion of the ship. As the back half remains in orbit, the forward half containing the Atlantis team begins to lose its orbit, and descends into the atmosphere of New Lantea. With no hope of stopping the ship in time, the team re-enlists the help of Todd. As he makes his way back to the bridge, he quickly gains control of the ship, firing the forward thrusters with all of the remaining power. However, the ship is rapidly descending. Todd then manages to level out the ship moments before it slams into the oceans of New Lantea, sending a huge wave out in all directions. Atlantis sends out rescue teams that are able to reach the team who were knocked out in the crash and remove them from the ship which then sinks in the ocean. (SGA: "Infection")
