This takes place a couple of months before the events in "Vegas" and in that universe. The Hive Ship has been defeated, but Kamikaze Darts have crashed along the expanse of the Mojave. Evan Lorne is sent to hunt them down with the help of a scientist from Area 51. With backup from McKay and Carter, Lorne and Parrish follow the Wraith to Vegas, where they must join in a high-stakes poker game to track the Wraith and keep them from growing a new Hive.
