Summary: Daniel manages to come back from ascension with some advanced knowledge to use, for a way to destroy the Goa'uld and the Ori. Except it just so happens he's on the wrong planet... The wrong time.. Without his memories.. and he can't dial home.. Also throw in a cameo for Idris/Tardis and Irzu from different universes... I'm sure everything will be fine.. No pressure...

Author's note: Sorry it's been a week since I posted anything, and I know I have quite a few stories I haven't finished yet. Hopefully a finished story will make up for it.. Sorry it's kinda weird! lol
He knew what she had to do. She was going to send him back and he wouldn't remember anything.. But what would be the point of coming back at all if he would be a blank slate? No, Daniel knew he couldn't go back and live a life of blissful ignorance of everything and everyone he ever cared about. He had to find away around it.
Think Daniel, think! Daniel told himself as thoughts swam in his head.
He had all the knowledge of the ascended, so their had to be something, something he could do.
Time was running out. The pressure was on.
"Well it's not like you could just wipe everything right? I mean I'll know basic stuff right? If everything was wiped I'd be in a baby state.. So you have to keep knowledge of the basics of survival. Like knowing life needs food, water, heat, speech for communication, and all that. You wouldn't place me somewhere without that."
His eyes gazed at Oma pleadingly. She watched him, then nodded slowly. "In a sense I suppose.. It's almost time." She said sadly.
Daniel closed his eyes and help up a finger. "Wait, wait. Just hold on a second, I'm onto something."
So if I'm not a perfectly blank slate, then there's hope... If the tools of survival is the key memory they'd allow then that's what I'll work with. After all, if he didn't have some of the ancients knowledge still within him how could he survive with all the threats the Ori, and Goa'uld could impose? Ha! He'd just have to make it a fixed point of need to know how to destroy them. To know their weaknesses, to know how they work.
He focused hard on his own mind and body made of energy. He just had to hard wire the knowledge of these new 'tips of survival' into him. He was slightly worried about the impact this would cause. Overriding his brain like this. He knew this wasn't exactly what Orlin had done but he had cheated with knowledge to and it had turned him into a child with a damaged mind. What would it do to him?
He shook his head. He couldn't worry about himself or what he would become when it happened. He had to think of the rest of the galaxy over himself.
But was what he was doing really possible? Would he be able to do this with a normal human brain, if even Orlin couldn't? Human brains just can't handle this type of this.. But maybe-
"It's time." Oma told him solemnly.
"No. Not yet." Daniel begged still concentrating.
"Daniel, I can't hold off on the will of the Ancients any longer, or they will come in themselves."
"Yes, yes. I.. I understand. I just.." Daniel gazed outside the fantasy cafe window sadly. "I just wish I had more time to retain this knowledge to help everyone."
""The true nature of a man is decided in the battle between his conscious mind and the desires of the subconscious."" Oma responded.
"You said that once before." Daniel sighed. None of her wise sayings could help him now and even ascended he still didn't understand her cryptic messages. Whatever he did right now could mean all the advantages over the Go'auld, and the Ori. All the pressure was on him now. Couldn't Oma see that?
"I preferred "If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago."" He responded back to her, regardless.
Oma bowed her head. "Tell me Daniel, why does that saying speak to you now?
Daniel's eyes drifted to the side. What was she doing? Distracting him so he couldn't concentrate, stalling the Ancients, or is this her goodbye?
"I don't know. Does it have to mater now?"
Oma looked at him expectantly. He sighed.
"I guess I feel like I wish I would have known this information sooner, so all this pain and war wouldn't be happening anymore."
Oma stayed quiet.
"What?" Daniel asked wondering why Oma's mood seemed so.. disappointed?
"It's time."
"Will you at least allow me one thing?" Daniel asked hopeful.
"Daniel..."
"No really, I'm not asking you for anything big, I know you're walking the line right now with the other Ascended, it's just one small thing."
"Which is?" Oma asked hoping for a different outcome this time.
"Let me have a note of my worlds address and a GDO? It took my team ages to find me last time this happened. Oh and have their names on it so I know I can trust them with what knowledge I'm retaining."
Oma sighed. "Very well.." She looked at Daniel sadly, and Daniel thought there was something more to that look but he didn't know what it could be.
"And Daniel..
"The future is predetermined by the character of those who shape it.""
