 SG-1 arrives on P9Y-4C3 in the country of Kelowna, one of three countries in an uneasy state of cold war. Sg-1 investigates the country and discovers that Kelowna s technological level is similar to that of the United States in the 1940s, and that several Goa uld artifacts were found near the planet s stargate. From the artifacts they find a powerful Naquadah variant called Naquadria, which they are turning into a weapon. An accident leads to the Naquadria nearly exploding and Daniel Jackson saving millions from certain death, but he exposes himself to dangerous levels of radiation. Back at the SGC, Daniel lays dying until Oma Desala, an ascended being the team met on the planet Kheb, appears to him and offers him the chance to ascend.
