Teyla and Ronon visit the Belkan trading community, where one of Ronon's former military? comrades shows up in a bar. He and Solen served together in the same regiment on Atteria, and? Ronon learns for the first time that not everyone from his planet was taken or wiped out? by the Wraith. Ronon had been captured by a culling beam -- but before the city they were? defending fell, a few military personnel, politicians, and over 300 civilians made it safely? to a secret bunker.

? Atteria was annihilated, and the survivors relocated to many other worlds to preserve their? race. Some settled with the Belkans, some with the Manarians.

? As the two continue to drink and reminisce, Solen reveals that Ronon's old Task Master,? Kell, was among the survivors. He and his family settled on Belsa, where he runs a? trading operation and has built a personal army. There is no closer bond than the one between? an Atterian military trainee and his Task Master. But Ronon grows deadly serious, and is? determined to find Kell and settle some unfinished business.

? Meanwhile, McKay and Zelenka lead a team of scientists in an attempt to repower a device of? some kind -- quite possibly a newly-discovered weapon.
