P2X-885 is a world currently under the control of the Ori, where Benjamin Fischer became Patient Zero for the Prior Plague.
Overview
SG-6 was deployed undercover on P2X-885, observing the interactions between the visiting Prior and the local population. At the time, the Priors' mobility through the Milky Way was via Stargate only, and their only reinforcements were those they were able to convert. It was thus deemed an acceptable risk to deploy SG-6 in the field long-term, gathering intel on the various sermons and miracles delivered and performed to sway the native populace. The planet had a population somewhere in the region of ten thousand, hot and humid temperatures, and minimal access to freshwater, with the inhabitants having developed to a vaguely Medieval level of technology.
While attending a Prostration ceremony as part of blending in with the population, Lieutenant Fischer was touched by the Prior, something that did not seem unusual at the time, nor out of character for the kind of evangelical preaching that the Priors were known for. Unfortunately, this point of contact seemed to have been when he became Patient Zero for the Prior Plague: a biological weapon the SGC had seen deployed on P8X-412. Completely asymptomatic, Fischer passed the infection first to his teammates, and then inadvertently provided several transmission vectors to the general public, resulting in an outbreak that led to over 3,000 deaths.
