 While visiting a new location with the stargate, the puddle jumper comes under attack by a couple of Wraith darts. Already the weapons are down and the situation is not looking good. When they approach the planet, suddenly the darts are destroyed by an energy beam, leaving the jumper unharmed. Curious about the civilization possessing this kind of technology they descend to find a simple, but very religious society. The people from Proculis claim to have never heard about the Wraith. One of the monks brings the team to high priestess Chaya Sar. Knowing that Proculis is safe for people under attack by them, Sheppard and McKay ask her for Proculis to grant asylum to those in need. After consulting with her god Athar, she refuses. Sheppard does his utter best to plea their case and invites her to Atlantis.
