BANE - Eposode #32
The SG-1 team explore what appears to be a deserted planet, when out of nowhere, a gigantic insect lands on Teal'c and bites him. Upon returning to Earth, Teal'c's genetic makeup begins to transform into that of the insect that bit him.
NOTES OF INTEREST:
- The original inhabitants of the planet were human, possibly from Earth, and with a level of technology similar to Earth, but they were wiped out by the alien insect.
- Carter worked with Dr. Timothy Harlow, one of the world's top geneticists, when she was at the Pentagon.
- Remote Access Code for SG-1: 7062957 0282002
- The venom from the insect transforms the DNA of the victim, causing a metamorphosis into numerous new insects through equal matter conversion. Each human would become approximately ten new insects, causing swarms in the millions in six to eight weeks.
- The metamorphosis was reversed using experimental RNA inhibitors in conjunction with the symbiote's natural healing abilities.
- Teal'c's symbiote was kept alive by synthesizing the environment of his pouch, including temperature, nutrition, and a low level electrical current from D-cell batteries.
- Maybourne ordered the insect and all related research transferred to the Area 51 facility. However, following Teal'c's recovery, the insect will be involved in an unfortunate lab accident for which Dr. Harlow will take full responsibility.
Injuries:
- Teal'c: stung by an alien insect and began a metamorphosis
