Summary: On P9R-139, SG-11 and SG-17 make startling discoveries into the mysteries of the cult of Thoth only to have it cut short by a surprise invasion by Anubis. When SG-1, SG-19, and SG-13 come in to help with the evacuation, and lead the scientists back through the Gate, they quickly learn they might have brought back more than just knowledge concerning Thoth and may be unable to undo the transformation that has already begun.
As you can guess, this story is about dualities. Also, it looks at the grey area between Goa'uld, Tok'ra, and the SGC, as well has how the depth of friendship can break through some of the toughest obsticles. Team story, but with Daniel having more of the focus. The following link is for Chapter One which leads into the other chapters.
Duality: The Voice of Ra "Look," Daniel said with a slight edge to his voice as he swiftly flipped to another page of notes. "Thoth was one of the more obscure, but more important, figures in Egyptian mythology. He is knowledge. He had an entire cult of followers. His information-"
Sam allowed her mind to wander, breaking free of Daniel's academic plea to O'Neill. Shifting in her seat, she couldn't help but catch a glimpse of Captain Mueller, who appeared to become increasingly distressed with the conversation. She would sigh, fidget in her seat, and then would sigh again. In fact, she seemed extremely pale.
Feeling a new kind of unease creep down her spine, Sam glanced over at her commanding officer. She noticed he was staring intently at Mueller as well.
"Jack? Are you even listening?"
"Something wrong, Captain?" Colonel O'Neill stated instead, ignoring Daniel's question.
"No, sir," she said quietly, her lips trembling. "I agree with Doctor Jackson."
Daniel leaned over the table, studying her carefully before he broke and continued. "Legend says, he even wrote an incredible text called the 'Book of Thoth.' Now, reportedly, this book held the knowledge of immortality, of the greatest scientific achievements-I mean, this book could be the key to unlocking the secrets of the Goa'uld, their existence, and their strive for domination. I believe-"
Captain Mueller screamed, holding her head, as she leaned over the table. Doctor Anderson quickly came to her side, trying to console her as Daniel stopped mid-sentence. Sam rose to her feet, ready to call for medical assistance when she noted Hammond had already done so.
Then, Sam gasped.
Mueller screamed again, this time her eyes glowing molten golden-white.
