[edit] Plot

While exploring another planet, SG-1 encounters a crashed alien space ship containing a plethora of cryogenic pods. The team separates to cover more territory and see how many aliens are contained in the pods. Soon after Daniel finds a pod that has failed, SG-1 is attacked by an energy wave. Teal'c soon recovers to find Colonel O'Neil and Major Carter unconscious and suspects that they are not alone on the ship. When he finds Daniel's body he finds another mind in control of it. Daniel had become host to many different minds of the alien ship's crew. While under observation at the SGC, Daniel shows signs of many different minds cramped in his brain.

General Hammond then dispatches the rest of SG-1 back to the planet to investigate the alien ship and find a way to cure Daniel. They discover that the minds of the passengers are being saved in the ship's computer. The ship's power source is failing and there is not enough energy to restore the minds in the computer to the bodies held in cryogenic freeze. They also find that one of the crew is awake and he was the one to download the other minds into Daniel's body. The crewman also carries many minds within himself. When a pod would fail he would download the person's mind into his own. Once the pods failed and the bodies died, there was nowhere for the minds to go and they would be completely lost as the computer failed. Since the crewman was becoming delirious from too many minds inhabiting his body, he wanted to save more of the crew by putting them into Daniel. SG-1 provides a naquadah generator to repower the ship. With his help SG-1 is able to remove the other minds from Daniel and awaken the passengers of the ship. The passengers' home world was being destroyed and they were being relocated to another world to save what part of their civilization they could. The SGC plans to help the passengers continue their relocation either with their ship or via the Stargate.

[edit] Notes

• This episode, specifically what happened to Daniel, is quite similar to the season seven Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Masks" and the Doctor Who episode The Ark in Space. It is also quite similar to the season five Star Trek: Voyager episode, "Infinite Regress."
