Chapter 5: On the Brink of Insanity

Daniel frowned that the scrolls and text laid out before him. For hours and hours he had been going over them but without much progress.
But as he worked, he kept thinking of the Tok'ra. He knew that in his hands was the key to finding a very powerful weapon but he couldn't push away the feeling that the Tok'ra were using them somehow.
He layed down the scroll he was working on, rubbing his eyes. He felt like he was fumbling around in the dark but he knew that what he was looking for was right in front of him. It was very frustrating.
Teal'c helped him along with some of the translations but there was still much that even Teal'c didn't understand.
Selmek or Anise would often drop by to check on Daniel's progress. They seemed in be in a rush to get their hands on the weapon but Daniel simply told them that he could only work so fast. This earned him a frown from Anise and the two Tok'ra would leave talking quietly to each other in hushed voices so no one else over heard them.
There must be something going on and try as he may, Daniel couldn't put his finger on it.
