For the past five months, the crew of Task Force Ida have suffered at the hands of their alien captors, experiencing a living hell of constant torture and hard labour. Located deep with the maze-like vessel, the crew's only hope of escape rests with their ability to hold out long enough for SD-5 to make their way past the ships nearly impenetrable security system.

With report an individual matching Major Logan's appearance, SD-3 and SD-4 are sent to investigate. What they instead find is the Ori invasion forced that attacked the Asgard home world months earlier, and are faced with an impossible choice - save the innocent worlds being ruled over by the Ori, or risk it all to save their lost comrade.
