S9 E15: Jared Kane whom Daniel Jackson met during a war between the Rand Protectorate and the Caledonian Federation on the planet Tegalus arrives through the stargate with urgent news. Thanks to interference by a Prior of the Ori Rand has managed to build a massive satellite weapon and the country's leader President Nadal has given the Caledonians five days to surrender or die. Jared desperate to stop his country from committing this genocide has illegally snuck through the stargate for help bringing along some early designs of the weapon. As Daniel asks the Rand government for permission to visit and explain the true nature of the Ori Mitchell and Carter - less confident in the power of diplomacy - study the preliminary schematics that Kane has provided. Should Daniel's plan fail they decide to fly to Tegalus on the Prometheus and destroy the weapon from orbit. Daniel and Kane depart for Rand only to be imprisoned for treason the moment they arrive. As they struggle to make President Nadal and his military leader Commander Pernaux believe their innocent intentions Prometheus arrives in orbit. The satellite weapon targets this intruder so Prometheus's commander Col. Pendergast orders a first strike. The satellite's shields however harmlessly deflect Prometheus's attack. Worse the weapon's answering blasts slice effortlessly through the Earth vessel's defenses. Prometheus is in serious trouble. On the planet below President Nadal tells Daniel that he'll spare the foundering ship- and its crew -- if Daniel and Kane explain how Earth is collaborating with Rand's Caledonian enemies. Unable to confess to something that isn't true Daniel watches helplessly as the satellite blasts the Prometheus into oblivion.
