While visiting Chulak to gather support for a Jaffa rebellion Teal'c is captured by the Goa'uld. The rest of SG-1 unaware of his fate are dispatched to thwart a burgeoning alliance between Apophis and Heru'ur. But when they arrive at the neutral location chosen for the meeting - an ancient minefield floating in space - they discover that Heru'ur has brought along a gift to seal the deal: a battered but defiant Teal'c. SG-1 is torn. Do they try to rescue Teal'c? Or as Jacob Carter argues does the success of their mission outweigh the life of their friend?
