Daniel
For two days, Daniel was locked up. Sam brought him books, Teal'c came to mediate with him, and Jack played games. Catherine talked occasionally and she said she could smell things. He hoped she would find something that could be used as proof. He thought of something, smell was one of the most powerful stimulants to memory. Maybe a smell might jar her memory, give them a better understanding of her. He grabbed pencil and paper and started writing his theory and his plan. Daniel figured that plants would work best, than if that failed incense, perfume. He handed the paper to Sam, and told her about Catherine's new ability.
Sam was skeptical but willing to help. It took her two days to gather everything. In that time his test results came back, everything was normal, nothing odd in his blood or brain. Dr. Fraiser said she could keep testing but she didn't thing the results would be different. General Hammond was there too and said that unless he came up with proof he would have to send to him to a physciologist. Daniel said he and Major Carter were working on plan. Hammond said he had two days after that he would be forced to take a mental health evaluation. Daniel almost fell apart knowing he would fail and be locked up but Catherine reassured him his plan would work.
Sam had set up a room with the various things but she insisted I was restrained and Teal'c was also present. I put on the blindfold I had requested and started, going from Eastern Europe down to the Mediterranean. When Daniel got to Egypt Catherine gave a start. Daniel asked for the incense from Egypt and when he smelled that Catherine gasped. Daniel took the plant and the incense and waited. Catherine asked if she could hear the Nile. Daniel took off the blindfold and told them it was working. He asked for sounds from the river Nile and any Egyptian plants. Sam brought a computer and he settled on the floor surrounded by the sounds and smells of the Nile. Catherine had grown quite still but he was hopeful and waited.
Catherine
I was worried about Daniel, two days locked in a room. Still I gained a sense of smell, it was exciting to experience these new sensations. Daniel did occasionally talk to me, and I did not press. Daniel did not tell me his plan, but I did read it as he wrote it. Catherine was shaken when they were told there was physical evidence of her presence. Going into the room Carter had set up, I squared my invisible shoulders, I would find answers. As we went through the different smells I was almost overwhelmed. No memories stirred but it was wonderful to experience. Then came a plant something stirred like a long forgotten song. Than incense, a temple, joy, hope. I gasped and asked if they had sounds from the Nile. They did I listened and smelled the incense and remembered. I was on the banks of the Nile walking with my love. He was going to be a scribe at a Temple. He stroked my hair and kissed me. Then incense, Catherine was at the temple meeting her beloved. A god entered she bowed down and he stopped and turned to her his eyes flashing. She jolted awake this was her past. She couldn't cope, couldn't think. With a great effort she told Daniel what she remembered including the symbol on the Jaffa's foreheads.
Catherine then spent countless time trying to remember. Her beloved tall, sun burn skin, black hair. Her family loving, starving but still close. Hard work, praying to the gods, rejoicing at the Niles rise. Then pain, fear, loss, the harder she tried to remember the less she could. Flashes but then they were gone.
