Message in a Bottle

In this episode the crew discover a relic from an ancient but extinct society. They bring this orb relic back through the gate and study it. The orb in turn starts to activate and spears Colonel O'Neil up against a wall. The Star Gate command work to stop what they think is a weapon and they do a "wild fire" isolation of the base. The orb spreads a radioactive virus that infects everything not just biological objects. One lab person becomes very sick. The orb infects the computer systems too and Daniel interprets something which leads them to believe the orb can communicate. Colonel O'Neil is remarkably well for someone with a spear through his shoulder. Sam figures out that they can talk to the orb through Colonel O'Neil and they do this and agree to release the orb to grow on a premoidial world and the show ends problem solved. They solve this just in time as auto distruct of the base has begun countdown and they stop the countdown with 1 second to go.
