->''"I think the Trust intends to launch a full-scale chemical attack against the Goa'uld, without any regard for the millions of Jaffa lives that could be lost in the process."''
-->'''-- Lt. Col. Samantha Carter'''
Carter and Daniel are sent to investigate when Earth's stargate it beamed away in the dead of night, and come to believe that the Trust are responsible. Meanwhile, Teal'c is stranded offworld and becomes aware of several planets where entire Jaffa armies have been slaughtered en masse with no signs of a struggle having taken place.

* BadassLongcoat: Hoskins, the lead Trust operative, wears one.
* BigDamnHeroes: Teal'c shows up just in time to save Daniel and Carter before they're executed by the Trust.
