- The SGC is visited by a Tok'ra named Anise who brings some armbands used by the soldiers of a long extinct race, which are supposed to increase the abilities of the wearers. O'Neill, Carter and Jackson put the armbands on and it increases their physical strength, but it also causes them to make rash decisions. Can they get the armbands off before they cause their deaths?—Anonymous
- Stargate Command is visited by a beautiful Tok'ra, Anise, who needs their help in testing an alien weapons technology she has discovered. The weapons, armbands affixed to the wrist and forearm, belonged to a now extinct society and enhance the wearer's natural abilities. O'Neill, Carter and Daniel Jackson all volunteer for the experiment and they seem to work as promised. When Doctor Fraiser expresses some concern over their increased body temperatures they find, however, that once attached, the armbands cannot be removed. When Anise suggests SG-1 go on a mission to test the weapons in real combat, General Hammond realizes the extent to which they have been manipulated.—garykmcd
- The SGC receives the Tok'ra Anise, who brings three alien devices that they have found to be used around the wrist, and explains that the devices increase the strength and speed of the user. However, the artifact does not work with her race, and she would like to experiment with it on Earthlings. Jack, Sam and Daniel agree to wear the devices and soon they realize that they have increased abilities. Then Anise explains that the Goa'uld are building a powerful spacecraft capable of subduing other races in the universe and Jack, Sam and Daniel plot a scheme to destroy the spaceship using their newly acquired abilities. Meanwhile, Dr. Fraiser finds that the device releases a virus to increase the abilities of the user, but the human body is not prepared for that. It is further discovered that the artifacts cannot be removed from their arms. But Jack, Sam and Daniel decide to go to the planet anyway, as per their plan. However, when they arrive at the Goa'uld facilities, they learn that they have just lost their abilities and the place will blow-up in a few minutes. What will happen to them?—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- The Tok'ra archaeologist Anise arrives at SGC, looking for humanoids without a symbiont to test her recent find from the extinct Atanik race: bracelets with fabulous power to enhance the wearer's physical, sensory and mental abilities, which Goa'uld and Tok'ra have searched for centuries in vain, fearing them to be a mere legend. SG-1, except Jaffa Teal'c, gets the arrogantly imposed role of guinea-pigs, at first reluctantly, but all three soon enjoy becoming much stronger, faster, smarter... As Dr. Fraiser soon fears, this comes at a price, not unlike substance addiction. Anise didn't even mention that a virus starts the effects, and it now seems impossible to remove the bracelets, but the enhanced powers consume more energy than the human body can produce safely, so their general health is bound to deteriorate dramatically. To the general's anger, the Tok'ra now insists on using all of SG-1 for an urgent mission on a planet where Apophis's forces must be countered after their infiltrators failed, which she had clearly planned in advance. While SG-1 is there, Fraiser and Anise conclude the body produces an antigen which counters the virus, thus undoing their enhanced powers, as they will find out during the dangerous mission.—KGF Vissers
- Anise, a new Tok'ra representative to Earth, approaches Stargate Command for help in testing some mysterious armband devices discovered amid the ruins of a distant planet. Anise believes the devices could be a powerful weapon in their war against the Goa'uld.
