Sam and Danei walked into the infirmary to find Janet, Daniel, Teal'c and Jack waiting for them around a bed. Both Janet and Daniel noticed that Danei looked remotely happier than she did a few hours before.
"So, what's going on?" Sam asked.
"Well," Janet said, approaching Sam. "I've been doing some thinking, and I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but I thought of a way to try and access some of Danei's lost memory using hypnosis."
"Is it safe?" she asked.
"Well, yeah, it's safe," she replied. "But, it's also very scary. If she wants to stop, all she has to do is press this little red button and there'll be a buzzer sound and we can wake her up."
"Okay," Sam said. She looked at Danei, and pointed to the bed.
"Li homn," Daniel said to her, seated in a chair to the right of the bed. Lie down
Danei approached the bed and slowly laid herself down, her head resting on her pillow, looking warily up at Daniel. His eyes told her it was okay.
"Now," Janet continued. "I'm going to use a small amount of sleeping gas just to make her drowsy enough to sill be half awake during hypnosis. I've seen this work before, but it was done with a handful of experts, and since none of us are experts on hypnosis, we'll just have to rely on her unique brain pattern. Daniel, could you tell her that what I'm doing won't harm her?"
"Yeah," he said, and turned to Danei. "Janet es aoena to aere aoe solenaena tain meil aelr aoe aen aoel lelola bid." Janet is going to give you something that will help you get your memory back
"Es et sive?" she asked. Is it safe?
"Aes," Daniel replied.
Janet took a small plastic mask and carefully put it over Danei's mouth and nose. She then turned to a container filled with sleeping gas and turned it up very little very slowly.
After a few minutes of waiting and Daniel stroking the hair by her forehead, combined by the effects of the gas, Danei quickly began to get drowsy, her eyelids drooping dangerously low, almost on the verge of her completely falling asleep.
"Danei?" Janet asked, now seated at her left, Daniel at her right.
"E aeil aoe," she said. I hear you
"Daniel, can you translate for me?" she said. "Danei, do you see anything?"
Daniel translated the words to Danei, Sam, once again, becoming jealous of Daniel's understanding of one of the most beautiful languages she ever heard.
"No," Danei said, proud of one of the few English words she learned in her time with Sam.
"Daniel, why don't you take a swing at it," Jack suggested.
"Why me?" he asked.
"Eh, I got a hunch," Jack replied.
Daniel spoke to Danei, speaking in her own tongue. "Danei, look through your mind and search for an empty space long since forgotten. Feel it and run to it."
"I cannot. It pushes me away," she replied.
"Try harder. Run as if the world was ending," Daniel said.
Danei gasped and her breathing became shallower.
"Ask her what she sees," Janet asked. Daniel did.
"I lin."
"A man," Daniel said, translating her words to the others.
"What does he look like?" Janet asked. Daniel translated.
"I Lin mena no aeilt, no boha, ihn no vide, is blid is I nin mena no man to aihe la mia."
Daniel paused for a few seconds before translating, stunned at the words that she had said. "A man with no heart, no body and no face, as black as night with no moon to guide my way."
"What's she talkin' about, Danny?" Jack asked.
Sam looked at Daniel. "Anubis," they both said.
"Why do you see this man?" Janet asked.
"Ae ais duleh vol le linesneh la r'ledsende, isdena vol taenas E lesn non aere. Helinhena tae taenas edinnot hovol veil ov aerena ael tae one tae tain no one minnsael to aire."
"He Has called for me; requested my presence, asking for things I must not give. Demanding the things I cannot do for fear of giving him the one thing that no one wants him to have." Daniel said, looking around at the others.
"What's that?" Jack asked.
"Power," Teal'c replied.
"What is he doing?" Janet asked.
There was a pause. "E il renesaeh"
"I am punished." Daniel translated.
All of a sudden, Danei screamed her arms flailing around and her head thrashing back and fourth. She sat up quickly, and ripped off the mask, jumping off the medical bed, as Daniel, Janet and Sam tried to hold her back. But she evaded their grasp and ran out of the room, Daniel running close behind. He caught up with her down at the end of the hall. He grabbed her shoulders tightly, but she still tried to get away. He took her face in his hands and forced her to look at him.
"Danei!" he said.
She opened her eyes, and looked around, at first not knowing where she was, fresh tears rolling down her face.
"Danei," Daniel said softly. She looked up at him, her eyes welling up, and wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face in his shirt, and he held her close. "It's okay…"
