Radek is the one who actually talked to Carson about Edmund with the final clue. He had become suspicious after a second visit from Edmund. The teen had wanted to see if Radek had made a connection from their last conversation. With a sheepish claim of being lost again, he asked some subtle questions to see what Radek knew.

One of the newer scientists, Ducen Calvalo, was working on a project designed to contain a new volatile form of energy they discovered after Rodney disappeared Edmund was nervous and accidently looked over at Calvalo's notes at the workstation near him. He saw a mistake in one of the equations. Without thinking, he stopped talking and started walking over to connect the mistake. He told Radek of the problem when asked as he walked. Radek walked over making it before Edmund when the teen stopped, realizing what he was doing. Radek perused the equations. He finally found the error. By the time he had finished a stern lecture to double check the work which the scientist had claimed was perfect, Edmund was impressed. It was almost as good as his own had once been. Radek returned his attention to Edmund before the dark haired teen had a chance to actually leave.

"How did you see at glance?" Radek asked in amazement.

"I have good eyes?" Edmund suggested.

"And intelligent mind. How did you know how to fix it?"

"It's a secret passion of mine." Edmund answered vaguely trying to escape the conversation.

"That was just like something Rodn-" Radek stopped abruptly reviewing his last conversation with the teen.

"Like who?" Edmund asked innocently.

"Where did yo-" Radek started to ask but a crackle of his earpiece indicating a call interrupted him.

Edmund took advantage of his distraction to run. He was long gone when Radek finished. Radek continued analyzing what Edmund had done. The equations Edmund had been looking at were highly advanced. Many of Earth's top scientists had trouble grasping them. A native, even connected to the more advanced Genii, should not have understood the equations enough to spot an error much less fix it as Radek believed Edmund had moved to do. Radek had only met one person who could have seen it so quickly, Rodney. Laden had still found no connection to the boy from the Genii and no one else recognized him. The senior staff had become suspicious of the boy's story which was still vague due to his supposed amnesia. Even Kate had to admit it was becoming more evident that Edmund was hiding a great deal. Tests had revealed no Wraith DNA or native antibiotics.

Carson had made progress. A comparison of Edmund's antibiotics and Rodney had revealed a great similarity. The doctor had also noted the presence of the ATA gene. It was a specific gene carried by the Ancient's descendents. The Scottish doctor had completed a therapy to artificially impose the gene. It only worked on certain people but they had not given it to the natives. Edmund had the artificial version of the gene. Rodney had it as well. With Radek's suspicion, Carson finally ran a DNA comparison between Edmund and a copy of Rodney's in the database. They matched.

Two days later, the senior staff met. John had invited Ronan, Teyla, and Lorne knowing the meeting topic was Edmund and Rodney.

Elizabeth started the meeting by explaining their theory on Edmund's identity to those not informed.

"I ran a DNA test. I canna explain how but the lad is Rodney at a younger age. I found vaccinations from the 20th century in Earth history as well as modern vaccinations." Carson confirmed.

"It explains much." Teyla answered.

"Why not tell us?" John asked.

"I'm not sure why but he seemed to think we hated Rodney because of the Doranda incident. At least when he talked to me. The question is what the Genii told him." Lorne answered.

"Where has he been?" Teyla wondered.

"Time travel." Radek stated. "We looked and found nothing. Perhaps he was in 20th century. Device's purpose is still uncertain.""

"What now?" John asked.

"I'll talk to him." Elizabeth said.

"Be careful, lass. We still donna know what exactly happened to him." Carson advised and everyone left.

Elizabeth finally found an excuse to call Edmund up after Laden called to explain their lack of success and informed her of his decision to end the search which Elizabeth had actually called to suggest. Edmund was surprised and a little afraid to be called to Elizabeth's office.

"Hello, Edmund. I have unfortunate news. The Genii found no connection to you among their population but you knew they wouldn't." Elizabeth started once Edmund became comfortable in her office.

"Um. I don't know. My parents trade with them." Edmund tried.

"You're not a native. Why didn't you tell us?"

"Tell you what?" Edmund tried innocently.

"We don't know what happened but you're Rodney."

"Radek figured it out."

"Yes but John was already suspicious you were hiding something. Radek finally figured it out and asked Carson to confirm it. Why?"

"After Doranda, I thought everyone hated me. When I woke up as a prisoner of the Genii, Cowan told me you'd given me to them. You didn't come, so I started to believe him. Besides, I can't stay and I thought it would be better if you didn't know who I was." Rodney finally admitted.

"We realize we reacted badly to Doranda. I almost lost two members of my senior staff and friends. I was scared and angry. I'm sorry but we'd never give you to the Genii."

"I know I made a mistake. I wanted to make up for it but I couldn't do it alone. I just wanted my friends back."

"I know. I'm so sorry, Rodn- Edmund. We all are. What happened to-" Elizabeth started but stopped as Edmund tilted his head. He recognized the lion's roar quickly and rushed out of the office. He barely had to look to know the stargate was active and spinning. Edmund moved towards the stairs unnoticed by the frantic expedition members as they tried to figure out what was going on. The alarm started just as Elizabeth reached the control room.

"What's going on?" she demanded forgetting Edmund for the moment.

"The gate activated." A technician beside her snapped before realizing who they were talking to. "Sorry, ma'am."

"IDC?"

"None. We can't figure out where it originated."

"It's not using any of our power." Another technician gasped.

"Where does it go?" Elizabeth asked, hoping to get a different answer.

"The gate's dialing a random address." Radek answered having been waiting for a chance to talk to Edmund.

"Does anyone recognize the address?"

"Rodney!" Radek called suddenly finally noticing Edmund walking down the stars.

The teen had stopped just far enough to avoid being disintegrated by the opening outflow of the gate.

"Edmund, it isn't safe!" Elizabeth called out.

"Sorry but it's time for me to go." Edmund answered back as the gate finished forming.

"What's happening?" John demanded rushing into the gate room with Teyla and Ronan behind him just as Edmund entered the gate.

"He was Rodney and he went through the gate. What's the address?" Elizabeth demanded desperately. "Do you two recognize it?" she asked Teyla and Ronan. They shook their heads apologetically.

"Maybe he went back. Did he tell you where he had been?" Teyla questioned.

"No, he ran out just as I was asking. He acted like he'd heard something but I don't know what. The alarms started just as I got here, following him." Elizabeth answered becoming thoughtful.

"Could he have known it activated?" a fair haired technician at the gate controls asked.

"Somehow I think he did." Elizabeth answered.

"Will we see him again?" Teyla asked.

"If I have anything to do with it, we will." John answered passionately.

News of who Edmund had been spread. Everyone was enthusiastic about finding the old member and the president authorized the search to continue but months passed with no luck and they were forced to concentrate on other concerns.

Edmund gasped as he felt the shimmering portal envelope him but was forced to close his mouth as his surroundings filled with water. He swam up towards the surface only to see it rushing down to meet him. He was greeted by the familiar sight of the room he shared with Eustace in England. Lucy and Eustace gasped beside him. As the days passed, two things became clear. Little time had passed during their adventure and his companions had never noticed his slightly delayed return of a few seconds. Edmund told no one of Atlantis since he was unlikely to reach it again.

Peter and Susan helped the two sibling deal with the fact that they couldn't return to Narnia but Susan soon became distant. She started to claim Narnia was just a game they played as children. They soon stopped mentioning it around her. Eustace kept in contact with the two siblings. He told them of his new adventures in Narnia with Jill Pole, a girl at his school. It was a complete but not unwelcome surprise when they were asked to collect some transdimensional rings the Professor's uncle had invented when Narnia was first created.

Peter and Edmund waited patiently on the train platform. Lucy, the Professor, Polly Plummer who had come with the Professor on the very first adventure of humans to Narnia, Jill, Eustace, and the rest of those who had visited Narnia except Susan were on the oncoming train. It happened too quickly for him to realize as the train swerved toward the platform. He passed out just as the train hit him. He woke in much the same position and place as he had just after his lost post-Narnia adventure. The stargate was dormant in front of him. He smiled as he dialed the Alpha Site Atlantis had been using the last time he was there.

Surprisingly, the personnel on the other side recognized him and greeted him warmly. Turns out he had disappeared for only six months this time and the Wraith were stepping up their attacks.

Edmund grew comfortable in Atlantis as amends were made on both sides. He missed his family but he knew he would see them again once this life was over. He was just a consultant for the first year but Radek finally insisted on his reinstatement claiming he was 'tired of babysitting children.' It was easy to do as Radek had been slowly relegating more duties to the consultant. Atlantis returned to normal and Edmund grew to call it home again. He knew at the end of this journey lay Aslan's country but for now he would live this life to the fullest.
