The Second Planet
|
This unnamed world is the second planet in the same solar system as Lantea. A long time ago, the Ancients built a Lagrangian Point satellite in orbit around this planet, which destroyed many Wraith ships. One of these ships, a supply ships, crashes onto the sandy planet below. All crew died except one Wraith, who fed on the human prisoners aboard as well as his own crew to survive for ten thousand years. There is no Stargate here; this planet is only accessible by ship.
The planet's atmosphere is extremely ionized, making radio communication difficult. we are the raven and the ghostWhen exploring the Lagrangian Point satellite in 2005, Dr McKay, Major Sheppard, Dr Gaul and Dr Abrams pick up a Wraith distress call from the planet. At first they assume it is automated, but they find evidence at least one Wraith may still be alive. The Major orders them to retreat to the Jumper, but it is two late. Dr Abrams is killed and Dr Gaul is taken by the Wraith, partially fed on, and questioned. The Wraith tries to commandeer the Jumper but cannot use it.
McKay stays with Dr Gaul while Sheppard goes after the Wraith, which is very hard to kill. Eventually, Dr Gaul kills himself, and McKay hurries to the Jumper to help Sheppard, if he can. His Dæmon saves Sheppard's life by killing the Wraith, much to McKay's own shock. |
