Summary

Summary: On a mission to a supposedly safe planet, John Shepherd, Ronon, and the team are attacked, and Ronon and another team member are apparently taken, for reasons unknown. Yet the attackers did no more harm than moving weapons out of reach and making off with the two men, even leaving valuable goods in apparent payment for their actions. As John and the others on planet and elsewhere try to find their friends and figure out what's happened, they learn that the planet is not so uninhabited as everyone believed. Meanwhile, the captives try to learn their fate, starting with why they were taken and where they are.
