Truth and lies...With Earth's Ancient weapons chair at the center of an international dispute, Dr. Daniel Jackson is sent to Antarctica to sooth diplomatic tensions. Meanwhile, General Jack O'Neill reluctantly takes charge of a radical new weapons chair training program.
But when a natural disaster hits Antarctica, the future of the Ancient outpost - and of Earth itself - is thrown into jeopardy. Yet again, Earth's fate lies in the hands of SG-1, but this time the team are lost and powerless to help.
