SGA S5 Spoilers: "The Prodigal"

“The Prodigal”

Michael invades Atlantis in search of Teyla’s son.

Details

It’s a quiet night in Atlantis. Ronon and Woolsey are in the control room when a puddle jumper arrives. All of the sudden, the jumper emits a type of force field. Ronon tries to warn everyone to get out, but it’s too late, and all of the people on that level are stunned into unconsciousness.

Then, Michael and six of his hybrids exit the puddle jumper!

Immediately, they get to work. They move all of the unconscious personnel away from their stations so that Michael has access to the computers. His plan is to find Teyla’s child and then leave before everyone reawakens. His hybrids work to gain as much control over the city as possible, but the encryptions are complex. Michael tries to maintain his patience with them, using his controlled anger to strike fear into his soldiers.

The force shield doesn’t encompass the entire city, though. Only two levels above and two levels below are included. But it doesn’t matter to Michael, because as soon as someone comes into contact with the field, they are stunned. Michael’s confident that anything that conscious personnel try to do will be kept in check by his technology.

But, once Michael has Teyla’s child, he isn’t satisfied to just leave everyone alive. He plans to detonate the city’s self-destruct.
