Poster for episode Rising (1).
S01E01

Rising (1)

Several million years ago, the continent of Antarctica has become covered in ice. Their lies the great city of the Ancients, Atlantis -- but no longer. One Ancient bids a solemn farewell to another, who will stay behind. The great city lifts off the surface and flies away like a great ship, leaving behind only a small outpost and the woman, who scientists will discover frozen in the ice millions of years later, and name "Ayiana" ("Frozen").In the present day, an international expedition has been set up on the same site to study the outpost of the Ancients and the technology therein. It is headed by Dr. Elizabeth Weir, recently transferred from Stargate Command. Also present are Canadian astrophysicist Rodney McKay, Scottish medical doctor Carson Beckett, British scientist Peter Grodin, and many others. Dr. Daniel Jackson is also there, and eagerly reports his findings to Weir and McKay: He's found a Stargate address to the Ancients' lost city itself -- Atlantis -- which is now in the distant Pegasus Galaxy.Brigadier General Jack O'Neill heads toward the Antarctic base in a helicopter piloted by Major John Sheppard, who is stationed at the nearby McMurdo Air Force Base and who knows nothing about Ancients or Stargates. But when Dr. Beckett accidentally activates an Ancient drone weapon -- he possesses the rare gene that allows him to use the base's chair control mechanism -- Sheppard must take evasive action to keep from being shot down. The weapon is disabled in the nick of time, and Sheppard and O'Neill arrive safely (if not a bit cranky) at the outpost.Daniel explains his findings to the general, who does not approve an exploratory mission to the lost city when he learns that it will take their only Z.P.M. -- zero-point module, the Ancient power source that has enabled the outpost and saved Earth from the Goa'uld -- to dial a Stargate address beyond our galaxy. Weir and Jackson manage to convince him, though, based on the great wealth of Ancient technology (including more Z.P.M.s) that they are likely to find should they discover Atlantis intact.The mission is a go, and Weir's team of international scientists and military personnel -- which she has been assembling for months -- arrives at Stargate Command, deep inside Cheyenne Mountain. Daniel is disappointed that he cannot go with them, especially when a wormhole to Atlantis is successfully established. Dozens of men and women and tremendous amounts of equipment file through the gate, knowing that because of the massive power requirements they'll probably only get one shot at it. They are all volunteers, the best and brightest that Earth has to offer, who go knowing full well that they may never be able to return home.Even the reluctant Major Sheppard, after some convincing by O'Neill, has agreed to go. Weir wants him there, despite a black mark on his service record for disobeying orders to save the lives of fellow servicemen, because Sheppard too possesses the gene that allows him to use Ancient technology. While some, like Beckett, and learn to use it with concentration and training, for Sheppard it's easy and instinctive.The team is lead by military commander Colonel Marshall Sumner, who is the first to step through to Atlantis. The facility is cleared and secured, and remarkably the systems begin to activate and light up as the humans begin exploring the massive city. Two scientists find a bay filled with Ancient ships capable of travelling through the Stargate; Dr. McKay finds the control room with Stargate dialing controls; and it's not long before the team discovers that the entire city, protected by a massive energy shield, is underwater.As they continue to explore, Beckett finds a holographic recording left by one of the Ancients. She explains how the Ancients left Earth and came to the Pegasus Galaxy, seeding the human form of life on a thousand worlds. But then they set foot on a dark world where a terrible enemy slept: the Wraith. The enemy awoke and began feeding on the human-populated worlds like a great scourge, until only Atlantis remained. The shield withstood the assault of the enemy's weapons for many years, but finally the Ancients decided that the only way to preserve the last of their kind was to submerge the city. The remaining Ancients went through the Stargate and returned to Earth thousands of years ago to live out the remainder of their lives.Soon, however, the team realizes that the great city of the Ancients may be nearing destruction -- and because of their arrival. Two of the three Z.P.M.s that power the city are dead, and the third is almost there. By exploring the city and turning things on, they risk the complete failure of the shield that is holding back the ocean.The naquadah generators brought from Earth cannot generate nearly enough power to sustain the failing shield, and, as expected, there's not nearly enough power to gate back to Earth. But they can dial to other planets in the Pegasus Galaxy. A planet from the Ancient's local database is chosen, and Colonel Sumner leads a team to either find a new Z.P.M. or safe harbor for the expedition. Major Sheppard goes along, as does the young and enthusiastic Lieutenant Ford.They arrive in the dark on the planet Athos, where two young children are playing in the woods. They meet a man named Halling, who believes they are traders. Halling leads them back to the Athosian encampment and introduces the team to Teyla Emmagan, one of their leaders. She is a strong and beautiful woman, who is cautious about helping the strangers. Sheppard tries to get to know her. When the sun comes up it reveals the ruins of an old city nearby, which the Athosians do not visit for fear that it will bring the Wraith down upon them. Sumner leads a team to check it out, while Teyla shows Sheppard a series of cave drawings that tell of the last great Wraith attack on their world.The Wraith keep human-colonized worlds like Athos as feeding grounds, returning every so often to "cull their human herds" -- though sometimes not for hundreds of years at a time. Still, they return more frequently in smaller numbers to keep the Athosians living in fear. Though they possess advanced technology, the Athosians live as a simple people and move their camps around to try and avoid the great enemy. Teyla is surprised to hear that the visitors have never heard of the Wraith; they have visited many worlds through the Stargate, and have never met anyone who did not know about them.Back at the Stargate, Ford watches as the gate activates and three Wraith "dart" ships come soaring through. Teyla and Sheppard return from the cave while Sumner's team rushes back to the encampment.

Meanwhile, Todd and his troops continue to hold Woolsey, Keller, Ronan and the Daedalus crew captive, convinced that they are behind the resurrection of this deadly technology. Fearing that if Todd succeeds in destroying the device, Jackson and McKay will most certainly be killed in the process, Sheppard calls on some old allies to help him rescue his friends.

Outsiders

Col. Sheppard and his team locate Dr. Beckett on an alien planet where he is treating a small group of survivors of the Hoffan plague. These patients, who escaped a Wraith attack on their home world, Balar, have found sanctuary and friendship on this alien planet. But that same evening, a party of Wraith warriors appears before the village's councilors, demanding that the refugees be turned over to them, threatening total annihilation if they refuse. The Balarians, aware that they are not only immune, but lethal to a Wraith, fear there is no chance the townspeople will continue to harbor them. And they may be right. Despite Sheppard's best efforts, it appears that the original residents intend to sacrifice the newcomers in order to save themselves.

Inquisition

Leaders from the human populations of many worlds have formed an official alliance and extend an invitation to Lt. Col. John Sheppard and his team to represent Atlantis at their next meeting. But on arrival, the team is immediately detained in a concrete cell and Sheppard is brought before three council members — Kelore of Latira, Shiana of the Tribes of Santhal, and Dimas of the Free Peoples of Riva — to stand trial for crimes against the indigenous peoples of the Pegasus Galaxy. Richard Woolsey, meanwhile, receives a visit from Myrus, a representative from the new coalition of planets, who advises him that Sheppard and the others are being made to answer for the deaths of millions throughout the galaxy. Outraged, Woolsey demands that Myrus bring him to his people, confident he can take on their defense and secure their freedom. But it quickly becomes clear that even Woolsey's formidable legal and diplomatic skills may not be enough to save the Atlantis expedition from a guilty verdict.

The Prodigal

Col. Sheppard and Dr. McKay are enjoying some recreational time on the pier level of the city when Atlantis is plunged into darkness, with only the top tier of the central tower unaffected. Struggling to make their way up to the Gate Room on foot, more than 70 levels above, McKay speculates that someone has taken control of Atlantis by hacking into the city's mainframe. As they close in on the location, McKay picks up extreme energy readings. An unusual force field has been established to prevent them from gaining access to both the Gate Room and Control Room. Meanwhile, as Teyla checks on her son, Torren, two dark figures infiltrate her quarters and fire, rendering her unconscious. When she comes to, she finds herself in Woolsey's office with the baby sleeping nearby. Distraught, she moves to reclaim him, then realizes she is not alone. Her ultimate nemesis, Michael, stands before her, and he is bent on revenge.

Remnants

Woolsey admits to Teyla, Ronan and Dr. McKay that he's apprehensive about an upcoming performance evaluation. Later, while en route to his quarters, he encounters Dr. Vanessa Conrad, an engaging scientist recently arrived on the Apollo, and finds himself more than a little attracted to her. But she is quickly forgotten when I.O.A. representative Shen Xiaoyi appears and advises him that he's been reassigned to a new position back on Earth. Woolsey is shocked by this news but, aided by his new acquaintance, elects to fight the I.O.A.'s decision. Col. John Sheppard, meanwhile, has flown several astrobiologists over to the mainland for a two-day research expedition. On his way back to camp, he is ambushed and captured by an old foe hell-bent on acquiring Sheppard's identification code. Back on Atlantis, McKay and Zelenka investigate a mysterious object discovered at the ocean's bottom.

Brain Storm

When the Atlantis team is given two weeks of vacation leave, Dr. Rodney McKay reluctantly accepts an invitation by his former rival, Malcolm Tunney. Tunney wants McKay to attend a scientific demonstration that he claims will be the solution to global warming. Feeling bold, McKay asks Dr. Jennifer Keller to accompany him and she accepts. Upon reaching Earth, they are flown, by private leer jet, to a top-secret facility in the middle of a desert. Once there, McKay is shocked by Tunney's brazen claims that he's invented a device that can cool the Earth by venting excess heat from our space/time into another space/time - an idea McKay had already pursued two years earlier. Despite Rodney's mounting concerns over its safety, Tunney activates his new technology, dropping the heat contained inside the facility by 10 degrees. But when the device reaches this goal and will not disengage, McKay realizes he has to work fast or everyone trapped inside the premises will freeze to death within the hour.

Sheppard and his team launch a cloaked puddle jumper to investigate. They board the ship to discover the entire crew in stasis, and a prerecorded message from their nemesis - Todd. In it he reveals that he and the crew were stricken with a disease - a complication of the gene therapy developed by Dr. Keller, which they had tried to self administer. Many died and the rest were put in stasis. Now, they need Atlantis's help. After much deliberation, Mr. Woolsey gives the go-ahead. Back on the hive ship Dr. Keller struggles with the complexities of Wraith physiology as the other team members begin to notice something very unsettling - the hive ship itself has somehow been impacted by the disease, with dire consequences for all on board.
