STARGATE ATLANTIS SEASON ONE HIDE AND SEEK EPISODE 103

Dr. Beckett's gene therapy has progressed, and he is finally ready for his first human test subject. Dr. McKayeagerly agrees, so that he can use Ancient technology like Major Sheppard. It's not long before the therapy is proven to be effective. McKay has found an Ancient personal shield generator, and soon tests it with Sheppard by shooting him in the leg, and even throwing him over a balcony -- neither of which hurt McKay at all. But when he wants to take it off he finds himself unable to reach it .After unsuccessfully attempting to drink a cup of coffee, McKay is beginning to fret. But Beckett is celebrating. His first test subject was a success. Meanwhile, allocating living quarters is proceeding in a timely manner. Teyla wishes her people to contribute, but Sheppard and Weir caution that it will take time to train them in Earth's weapons and tactics. In the command center, the Atlantis staff is each issued a command code in the event the city is compromised.

Sheppard tries to scare the Athosian children to sleep by telling them a bedtime story, but they get hung up in the unknown human terms. Afterward he plays an historic football game for his team, introducing Teyla to the concepts. Meanwhile, Jinto and Wex leave their quarters and play a game of hide and seek in the dark corridors. After an odd delay, Wex calls out for Jinto, but he is gone. Sheppard awakes his men to locate Jinto. Weir makes a city-wide communiqué for him, but the only response is a loss in power and a random gate dialing. McKay suggests that there might be ghosts in Atlantis. During the search one of the Athosians reports to have seen a shadow. Sensing a possible danger, Sheppard orders all teams to be recalled to the gate room. There, Jinto's father, Halling, sends out a message to his son, telling him that he is not angry, encouraging him to make some noise. Power loss occurs again and McKay passes out.
Out on patrol, Sheppard encounters a creature which appears to be a shadow of darkness. It retreats into a naquadah generator bay and leaves after he and Grodin power it down.

Jinto manages to use the communication devices and explains where he has been taken, though he doesn't specifically know where he is. As it turns out he discovered an Ancient transport chamber that was being used as a closet. Sheppard and McKay go to his location and retrieve him. Meanwhile, Grodin has managed to recalibrate Atlantis sensors to detect the entity, which they have currently running in circles by deactivating naquadah generators as it approaches them. Still, any form of energy is enough for it to feed on. It corners Ford and Stackhouse into a corridor. As Stackhouse manages to avoid it, the creature temporarily devours the Lieutenant.Back in the med bay, Ford is making a hasty recovery. McKay has analyzed one of the devices Jinto touched -- an Ancient containment unit. Apparently he accidentally released the creature into the city. From what he reads, the Ancients were researching an evolutionary development to ascension itself, using this creature as a test subject. It has been trapped in the device since they abandoned the city. One thing is clear: once the naquadah generators run dry, it will consume everyone's life force.
