*Cosmonaut Anatole Konstantinov pilots the International Space Station as a shadowy black cloud emerges from space debris and enters the craft. Alexi Vaselov, a highly decorated Russian officer, arrives at the SGC, hoping for a position on SG-l, but while speaking with Daniel he mysteriously collapses. Dr. Brightman suspects a contagion, and O'Neill shuts down the gate, preventing Daniel and his team from departing. However Daniel suddenly becomes violent demanding that the gate be activated, and he wounds two, airmen before being shot himself. Daniel, Vaselov, and Konstantinov exhibit similar symptoms, and O'Neill initiates security precautions. The SGC is under lockdown. *Source: Back of card
