The "Keeper".
The Keeper is an android (RPG: "Friends and Foes: Stargate Season Two") that designed an interactive holographic world as a means of hibernation for the people of P7J-989. He did not release his people once the planet became habitable again, however, as he feared that they would destroy it again. He attempted to use SG-1 to provide new experiences for the people in the chairs. However, Teal'c's Jaffa physiology and Carter's modified brain from her experience as Jolinar's host made it impossible to draw out any of their memories, so he placed them in O'Neill's memory of an attempted grabbing of a Russian in Germany, in which the mission failed and Daniel's memories of when his parents died. Not matter how hard they try to change those events, they just keep happening, so they refused to try again and suffer the pain of loss over and over. The Keeper tried to implore them to explore other options but they reveal to other spectators that their planet has regenerated itself. Therefore, the Keeper tricks them into thinking that they've arrived back at SGC and posed as General Hammond to order them into getting into the VR chairs. However, SG-1 escaped, and tried to show the other people their worlds from their memories, but the Keepers stops them from entering the gate. He accidentally lead them through but they instead revealed the exit doors of the VR, enabling those in stasis to leave and explore the world outside. The Keeper was so sure that the same tragedy will happen again, as the people start picking flowers. (SG1: "The Gamekeeper")
