From the Jaffa Book of Tales as translated by Dr. Daniel Jackson
Daniel Jackson awoke late that night. We had taken refuge with Yugi Moto at his Grandfather's shop. I was ill at ease in the home of one I so deeply distrusted. Daniel Jackson was hysterical but calmed after time. He did, however, make it very clear what he had heard "Osiris is coming". I was the first to question what he meant by Osiris but he was unable to give an answer. There was little doubt in my mind that the Goa'uld of that name was involved, however. In this dimension we had arrived on this is a vague concept but from experience I would translate it as Saturday and as such Yugi Moto was excused from school. We stayed close, as we were unaware of how to act. We quickly encountered another boy, Joseph. He spoke limited English but his accent made him sound natural. Yugi Moto and Joseph spoke in Japanese for a short while before he introduced us, at which time Joseph switched to English. Joseph and Yugi Moto were obligated to closest translation is fuse but it probably means meet up with others. Upon arrival we were introduced to Tea, Bakura, Devlin, and a text untranslatable, it appears to intend someone who is not within a group, Suna'Mi Tsunami. The one called Bakura also had a presence but his was even more powerful, I did not trust him either. Tea was kind but we were not compatible. Devlin was easier to get close to; his persona better reflected my ideals. Soon after, a companion of Joseph's arrived. Tristian Taylor. Tristian was also easy to get to know he and I spent more time together than I did with anyone else. After Bakura and Yugi Moto who I avoided with a Ree'tu's aptitude Tristian seemed most able to embrace other cultures and took great interest in my "tattoo" and history.
From the report of Brigadier General Jack O'Neill
Teal'c spent a lot of time with Duke and Tristian who in turn spent a fair share with Serenity Wheeler, Joey's sister. Carter was a little too smart for most of them but spoke with Duke when he wasn't occupied with Teal'c or Serenity. Daniel seemed both wary and sympathetic to Yugi and more so in both areas of Bakura who had moved there from alternate reality England. I spent most of my time with Joey, he reminded me a lot of me.
From the Report of Cornel Samantha Carter
It wasn't long before Tristian and Bakura moved to the side and began to play a card game called Duel Monsters, in this dimension a worldwide phenomenon unmatched by anything we have seen in ours. Duke and Joey quickly sided with Tristian cheering him on, while Tea sided with Bakura in the name of fairness. It seemed obvious that Tristian was the underdog. Mako watched for a while but had to leave shortly after. Yugi and Serenity watched quietly. Teal'c started acting strangely after Bakura played a card called the Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams and claimed that he felt ill before returning to the shop. General O'Neill came over to me and Daniel who were watching from a distance. General O'Neill was cynical stating, something along the lines of, "would you look at that, high school students playing with trading cards" I stayed silent not feeling anything strongly either way, but Daniel seemed generally offended that he would be so judgmental. General O'Neill was surprised until Daniel revealed a deck of Duel monsters cards he had in his pocket.
From the Notes of Dr. Daniel Jackson
I pulled out my deck and Jack fell silent not wanting to insult me. Yugi looked back and seemed very exited. Yugi asked me id I played Duel monsters and when I gave a positive response he said that he was happy to see someone who didn't feel ashamed to play the game once they were out of school for the fun of it. I agreed that I would like to see more and told him that we should duel some time, but Joey stepped in and told me not to. Jack asked why and Joey revealed that Yugi was the world champion. Jack asked how to play "how do you play this game". I explained about the effects of modes upon battle and most of the important terms that show up on cards as best I could without loosing Jack's attention entirely. Sam, on the other hand, seemed genuinely fascinated. "It sounds interesting sir" "aww Carter not you too". Tristian was crushed, 400 to 1700, by Bakura's Destiny Board.
From the Journals of Dr. Daniel Jackson
It's Monday and Yugi and his friends have school, it is 3:42 and as such Yugi shall return in a short while. Sam has actually taken an interest in at least learning how to play Duel monsters, I guess it's the side of her Jack and I don't get to see too often. As for Teal'c, he leaves us whenever Duel Monsters is brought up, I can only assume that something about it reminds him of the Goa'uld. Yugi gave me full access to his Grandfathers store to help build her a deck as long as I can return the cards or pay for them eventually, despite keeping almost as many secrets as I'm forced to Yugi seems like an ok guy. However, there is another side to Yugi. It comes out when he duels. It's not uncommon, many people become serious when they play strategic games (especially Duel Monsters) but something about him is off.
I've finished building Sam's deck. It's science based to suit her interests. She seems to be getting quite good, of course, I haven't used my special cards. Either way I hope that Jack comes around. Teal'c is staring to worry me; he has spent more time away from us staring at the duel monsters cards than anything else. There must be something I'm missing but I don't know what.
From the Report of Brigadier General Jack O'Neill
Carter and Daniel played that card game all day. Carter seemed to enjoy it a lot but she pulled her self away after a few hours to continue trying to figure out a way home. We're still not exactly sure what caused this so Carters had trouble, especially because there are two possibilities that could combine any which way or something. Carter thinks that the mirror or something similar might have been affected by the solar flares and wormhole but it's all very speculative. In any case I decided to take a more direct approach. The guards tried to keep me out but this little kid let me in, I think his name was Mukubi or somethin' like that. Kaiba was expecting me. He wanted to know how to activate the gate. I handed him the drift calculations. It only took a few days for Kaiba Corp's 47th floor to become SGC Japan. Carter obeyed orders and left Teal'c and Daniel behind. We picked the Beta site because it was never occupied by the Goa'uld. Kaiba was arrogant and foolish as he ventured through the gate for the first time. He was remarkably calm in the face of all of this. But even he almost lost his cool when we saw what was on the other side.
