ORNER
Then…you could not have been here at the time of the Vorlix.
DANIEL
Vorlix…that doesn't ring a bell.
WOMAN
It was the day that all we know of ourselves was taken away.
ORNER
We can only remember the day since the Vorlix. Before that... nothing.

(from internet transcript)
ORNER
In the first days after the Vorlix there was panic and confusion. It's hard to be exactly precise.
O'NEILL
So you all just woke up one day and didn't know who you were. How does that work?
ORNER
My first memory after the Vorlix was of running in the streets, as though for my life.
(He nods to the woman)
She was running right there beside me. Whoever she is.
CARTER
Seems like some kind of mass amnesia, Sir.
O'NEILL
Huh?
CARTER
It happened to a friend of mine during the Gulf War. Her chopper went down and she was knocked out. When she came to, her memories and identity before the crash were gone.
O'NEILL
So everybody on this planet took a hit to the head?
CARTER
Well, no, Sir. I'm not sure what could cause something like amnesia on this scale.
TEAL'C
I have never before encountered such an occurrence.
ORNER
All of our elders are missing as well.
O'NEILL
You remember elders?
ORNER
Well, no, but there are photographs of them in every house.
WOMAN
The children are gone too.
ORNER
If we ever had children.
WOMAN
Well, we weren't grown on trees. We came from somewhere.
ORNER
Then why have we photographs of the elders and none of the children hmm? Answer me that. Daft.
(to SG-1)
But if you do have any information we could use, you must seek Ke'ra.
DANIEL
That's the second time you've mentioned that name.
WOMAN
You don't know who Ke'ra is?

KE'RA
Yes. I first believed this D'Argol was related to our loss of memory much the same way, but there's little evidence of it. I've found residue only in the bodies of those who have died since the Vorlix.
[Ke'ra falls silent as she finds the picture of an elderly man.]
DANIEL
What?
KE'RA
Sometimes the images of people in the archives look familiar to me. I wonder if I knew this person, or that person. There are still so many questions, like why are there no images of children and where have our elders gone? Through your Stargate perhaps?
DANIEL
Well, I suppose it's possible your people foresaw a disaster coming and sent the most helpless to safety.
KE'RA
No, Daniel, whatever happened, happened quickly without warning.
DANIEL
How do you know that?
[He sees her knowing smile.]
DANIEL
(smiling back)
Because if you saw disaster coming, you would have left yourselves a note.

KE'RA
Whatever agent that caused the Vorlix is gone, but its effects were pandemic. If you know who you are, then you cannot be of this world.
O'NEILL
Oh. Well you know that big round ring thing you got stashed in a warehouse down the road?
KE'RA
So it is a transportation device.
TEAL'C
So it is.
CARTER
We call it a Stargate.
KE'RA
Stargate, yes. Um, Dr Zervis mentioned that word in his research.
[She crosses to the table and starts flicking through a book.]
KE'RA
(cont'd)
Though I had given up hope of ever finding this Dr Zervis amongst our people, his papers have taught me much. Here
(reading a passage from the book)
"Our visitor claims to have come to Vyus from beyond the stars themselves. Though I still cannot comprehend the science behind this Stargate device she claims to have used." I have studied this device since, but have been unable to activate it.
DANIEL
Uh, Ke'ra, could you go back to the part about the visitor again?
KE'RA
She is mentioned many times in the archive.
CARTER
What can you tell us about her?
KE'RA
That she was somewhat of an apothecary, and that she did not survive the Vorlix.
O'NEILL
How do you know that?
KE'RA
The bodies of an elder woman and man were discovered some days later in a building destroyed by explosion. The only remains of our elders we have found. We deduced the male must have been Dr Zervis. And the female matches what little description he gave in his notes of the visitor.
TEAL'C
What is the name of this elder woman?
KE'RA
It is mentioned…here, yes: "She calls herself Linea."
[SG-1 recognise the name instantly.]

You're trying to tell me something.
Conversely, this is how a time-traveler gets his ideas for stories to tell when time-traveling backwards in time.
One of us has the power to control animals.
Recently I have been thinking there is another person whose power is to read minds. That is how they can verify that as the person I am today I become the time-traveler. When I show up as a time-traveler I could have been anybody. I could have been the thief of someone else's time-travel invention. So with a person who can read my mind then they will know I am the same person.

DANIEL
Sort of a 'to whom it may concern…'
[At the far end of the table, O'NEILL appears lost in thought.]
CARTER
Sir?
O'NEILL
Oh. I was just thinking about amnesia. It doesn't quite track with Linea's nickname.
TEAL'C
The Destroyer of Worlds.
O'NEILL
Yeah, that one.
CARTER
Well, actually, in sort of a sick way, it does. Ke'ra said herself their society was on the verge of collapse, despite their efforts. This world is in trouble, Sir.
TEAL'C
Perhaps Linea was experimenting with other ways in which to destroy worlds.
O'NEILL
Variety being the spice of life and all?
CARTER
The fact is, Sir, we let Linea out of Hadante prison. We gave her everything she needed to know about the network of StargateS to go anywhere she wanted.
O'NEILL
I know.
CARTER
We're responsible, Sir.
O'NEILL
I know.
[Across the room, Daniel and Ke'ra continue to talk.]
KE'RA
Tell me of Linea.
DANIEL
Well, uh, basically, we met her on a visit to another planet, during which we were imprisoned, unjustly, and Linea helped us escape.
KE'RA
Surely there is nothing wrong with that, if you were imprisoned unjustly.
DANIEL
Well, she was imprisoned justly. It was only after we escaped that we learned this nice, older lady we thought Linea was, was in fact a very, very bad, older lady, who had committed terrible crimes.
KE'RA
What crimes?
DANIEL
She created a plague that almost wiped out an entire people. They called her the Destroyer of Worlds. She found your world because of us, through one of our computers. And that's why we're going to do everything in our power to help.
KE'RA
I know you will.
[Carter is looking through Linea's research diary when O'NEILL enters the lab.]
O'NEILL
You were looking for me?
CARTER
Yes, Sir. I've been studying Linea's journals. Apparently, she found a link between D'Argol—it's a chemical pesticide the Vyuns used—and longevity.
O'NEILL
What's a bug spray have to do with longevity.
CARTER
Well, it seems it was having the effect of slowing the ageing process. Not in an extreme way, but certainly significant enough.
O'NEILL
Lucky bugs.
CARTER
Yes and no. They stopped using it over twenty years ago. It was adversely affecting their fertility rate.
O'NEILL
So no kids.
CARTER
Right. The point is, Linea was trying to enhance the life-extending properties of D'Argol to create a sort of fountain of youth.
O'NEILL
She was trying to make herself young again?
CARTER
(referring to the diary)
According to her last entry, Linea was about to conduct some controlled lab experiments using an intensely concentrated form of D'Argol, on two Vyun elders. A male and a female.
O'NEILL
And?
CARTER
And…that's where her journal ends.
O'NEILL
Ah. The Vorlix, perhaps?
CARTER
Exactly. Now what if there really was a laboratory accident? Some massive chain reaction of enhanced D'Argol gas that caught even Linea by surprise? The entire population becomes young again overnight. You realise, of course, the implications.
O'NEILL
(nodding)
No.
CARTER
Uh, they're elders aren't missing, Sir. They are the elders. The fountain of youth worked. The amnesia was simply a side effect Linea didn't see coming.
O'NEILL
Ah, wait a minute. Linea is dead, right?
CARTER
Well, if those two bodies that Ke'ra found really were the Vyun elders that Linea was experimenting on…
O'NEILL
Don't say it Carter.
CARTER
Sir, we wouldn't recognise her even if she walked in the front door.
O'NEILL
Don't, don't…
[He puts his hands to his ears and starts singing.]
CARTER
(loudly)
Sir, she has the knowledge of chemistry, the medical skills…
[She pulls his hands away from his ears.]
CARTER
I think we at least have to face the possibility that Ke'ra is Linea.
KE'RA
They believe I am Linea.
DANIEL
Yes.
KE'RA
Do you?
DANIEL
The Vorlix made the population of Vyus younger, years younger. You couldn't find the elders, because you were the elders.
KE'RA
How can you believe that?
DANIEL
There is a test. It…compares what we call DNA. It proves that you and Linea are the same person.
KE'RA
Well, the test is wrong. I'm not Linea.
DANIEL
No you're not. You're Ke'ra now.
(He touches her hair)
Ke'ra's wonderful. And as long as you remain that person, that will never change.
KE'RA
You're telling me, that I will never be able to take the antidote. I would never harm anyone, Daniel. Do you believe me?
DANIEL
I do.
[She goes to kiss him, but he hugs her instead.]
INT—CORRIDOR, SGC
[O'NEILL catches up to Daniel as he heads down the corridor.]
O'NEILL
Hey. I heard the test didn't go too well.
DANIEL
She'll figure it out.
O'NEILL
Listen, I'm not saying the first woman you've fallen for since Sha're isn't a peach…
[They stop.]
O'NEILL
(cont'd)
But if she remembers who she is, you'll be the first to go.
[Daniel pauses, then continues walking down the corridor.]
INT—MEDICAL LABORATORY, SGC
[Fraiser and Carter are once again working with Ke'ra, while Teal'c and two guards observe.]
FRAISER
The eight hundred-litre potency is ready for a prerun.
KE'RA
May I?
FRAISER
Yes.
[Ke'ra takes a dropper and adds a chemical to a Petrie dish, observing the results through a microscope.]
KE'RA
It's working.
[She steps away as Carter looks through the microscope.]
CARTER
Yeah, I think you're right.
KE'RA
I believe this potency will provide our antidote.
FRAISER
Right. Thank you Ke'ra, we'll take it from here.
KE'RA
(confused)
But I can assist you.
CARTER
Uh, Ke'ra…
KE'RA
We should perform the test once more to be sure.
CARTER
(awkwardly)
I think it's better if we do this ourselves, thank you.
KE'RA
I see. May I return later to observe the test?
FRAISER
Sure.
KE'RA
Thank you.
