The SG-1 team encounters a new race, the Volians. These peaceful, nonindustrial farmers introduce SG-1 to the Aschen, who are very interested in allying with Earth. Ambassador Faxon is selected to negotiate, and Maj. Samantha Carter and Col. Jack O'Neill are assigned to accompany him. Meanwhile, Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c investigate the Volian/Aschen connection. The first meeting goes well, and the Aschen offer to exchange their technology for stargate addresses. O'Neill, however, feels that something is amiss. Jackson and Teal'c learn that, two hundred years ago, the Volians were an industrial civilization with a population in the millions. Then the Aschen appeared. Now the Volians number merely in the thousands and don't remember their own cities. Blinded by the promise of new technology and unparalleled power, the U.S. president doesn't want to hear any of this; he appoints Sen. Kinsey to take over the negotiations with the Aschen. Kinsey shuts out O'Neill, though he does allow Carter and Faxon to accompany him. Meanwhile, Jackson does some more digging and discovers the ugly truth of the Aschen's history with the Volians.
