Elizabeth Weir (Before I Sleep reality)

This version of Elizabeth Weir came from an alternate timeline where her Atlantis expedition team members were flooded inside an underwater Atlantis. She escaped by time jumper and went back through time 10,000 years before the events to meet the Lanteans. She remained alone in Atlantis using stasis pod and was discovered in 2004 by the main timeline Atlantis expedition members. She died of old age soon after.

Biography
The background of the alternate Elizabeth Weir is the same than her main reality's self until her Atlantis expedition team reached Atlantis (SGA:, "Rising").

Unlike the main reality, controle console did not power up when they arrived a Atlantis. Moreover, Doctor Rodney McKay warned them that the city shield was on the verge of collapsing. Weir ordered Colonel Marshall Sumner to fall back to the gate room, but him and his recon team were eventually drowned. While McKay tried to find a way to sustain the shield, Weir told Major John Sheppard that some of the team found what it seemed to be ships. They eventually escaped with Dr. Radek Zelenka inside a different puddle jumper. The city didn't have a fail-safe mechanism and remained at the bottom of the sea. Suddenly the jumper jumped back in time 10,000 years ago, in the middle of a battle between the Wraith and the Lanteans. The time jumper was shot down and Weir was the only survivor. Janus, an Ancient, healed her wounds and told her the story and that it was him who built the time machine. The Atlantis counsel decided to evacuate on Earth through the Stargate, and had Weir to come with them. Yet, Janus managed to let Weir remain in the city, set a fail-safe mechanism allowing Atlantis to raise from the ocean and find a way to slow down the depletion of the ZPMs. For that, Weir had to wake up from stasis every 3,300 years to rotate the ZPMs in sequence. She remained inside a stasis pod until 2004 (SGA: ).
