Rogue NID agents hijack the unfinished starship Prometheus. In addition, they take Major Samantha Carter, Jonas Quinn, and a reporter named Julia Donovan hostage. They threaten to overload the hyperdrive, which would create a massive explosion. Their demands were that Col. Frank Simmons, along with Adrian Conrad's Goa'uld, be released. Col. O'Neill and Maj. Paul Davis agree and have Simmons and Conrad board the Prometheus. Despite Simmons' insistence that he was acting in the interest of saving lives, it later turned out that he had orchestrated the entire affair. His plan did not succeed, however, as O'Neill and Teal'c were able to get on board. In the meantime, the Goa'uld attacks Simmons as part of a plot to kill the crew and take over the Prometheus. Conrad is killed when Col. Simmons shoots him at pointblank range, but not before the Goa'uld is able to escape, infecting Simmons. As for the Goa'uld, he then instigates a fight with O'Neill, who is able to lock him in an airlock, and release the infected Col. Simmons into the vacuum of space.
