The SGC is invaded by an alien life force that takes up residence in the base computer system. After repeated attempts to expel it from their electronics, the alien being finally makes the jump from computers and into Major Carter. Through Carter, the alien entity is able to communicate its intentions. SG-1 finds out that when the SGC sent a MALP to their world, the radio equipment needed to control the robot interfered with the aliens on the world, destroying many of them. Interpreting the action as an attack, the alien entity was sent to infiltrate the SGC's computer system and destroy the facility. Angered at the fact that it was using Carter as a hostage, O'Neill tells the alien that if it stays in Carter's body, he would convince the SGC to send more MALPs to completely destroy the alien civilization. To prevent the destruction of its people, the alien expelled itself from Carter's body. |

==Notes== |
|||
*The actions of Major Carter's mind while in the MALP room computer are very similar to the actions of the Alien "Entity" known as Jerry in Michael Crichton's "Sphere." In Sphere, the hostile Alien refers to himself as an "Entity," possibly responsible for the title of the episode. The Alien speaks to the team through the computer systems, at once point posting the message "I AM HERE." on the computers. This is, of course, identical to the message posted by Major Carter. |
|||
*This is one of many Stargate SG-1 episodes bearing an extreme likeness to novels written by Michael Crichton. Other episodes have resembled Prey, The Andromeda Strain, and Timeline very closely. |
