Summary
In an alternate universe where the Atlantis expedition did not go to Athos first and the Wraith are not immediately awakened, Sumner survives to continue to lead the mission. Sheppard has been brought along to serve the science team and is not considered by Sumner to be part of the chain of command, but rather one of Weir's support staff. He is registered as Latent/unknown, but designated as dormant as he hasn't manifested for either Guide or Sentinel despite several traumatic events in his past. Under Weir's guidance the expedition has reached out for alliances and trade but has been hindered in those goals when Sumner's blundering awakens the Wraith early (but not quite as early as in canon). Sheppard was sent out to pilot for an expedition to a site that was supposed to have a ZPM, but while there the team is ambushed. They fled through the gate to what was supposed to be a safe address, wind up in an unexpected place and find themselves captured. Sheppard has an extremely difficult choice to make to protect his team.
