Description
What if Michael got another chance... This is an idea of an alternate universe that forms as different decisions are made by the Atlantis team during the second episode of season 3 (Misbegotten) of Stargate Atlantis. In the original story line the Atlantis team has managed to stop the Wraith from making it to earth with the help of a wraith, Michael. Michael was the first wraith that the team tested Dr. Carson Beckett's retrovirus on. Although the retrovirus appeared to be successful at first, Micheal soon began remembering who he was and eventually reverted back to his original wraith state and escaped from the Atlantis team. During the final episode of season 2 (Allies) and during the first episode of season 3 (No Man's Land) we learn that Michael was betrayed by the wraith that had rescued him and we witness the queen of the wraith hive telling Michael "the lingering stench of what they turned you into will never fade". Michael chooses to help Col. Sheppard and the other members of the team escape and eventually provides the idea that leads to the disbursement of the retrovirus to the entire hive ship. Back on earth Dr. Weir is under pressure from the IOA who are threatening to relieve her of her command at Atlantis. She remains in command pending an investigation led by Mr. Richard Woolsey. The difference in this story line first takes place during Teyla's meeting with Michael on Atlantis.
