10.03 THE PEGASUS PROJECT
Summary
An Ascended Ancient breaks her vow of non-interference to give Daniel vital information that could make the difference in the fight against the Ori.
Details
Morgan LeFey of Arthurian legend is an Ascended Ancient. While Daniel, Vala, and Dr. Weir (in Atlantis) search for information about Merlin’s weapon which allegedly can destroy an Ascended Being, LeFey decides to break the rules and interfere with the lower planes of existence because she knows of the dire threat the Ori pose.
At first, she disguises herself as part of a holographic computer interface which Daniel and Vala are using to find the location of Merlin’s weapon. LeFey then shows her true self, an Ascended from the Lantian race.
From the days of old, LeFey was thought to be Merlin’s rival and Daniel questions her motives. She reveals that Merlin was Moros (his Lantian name) and Myrddin both and that for some time they had been rivals, but after many thousands of years, things changed.
LeFey tells of the Lantians’ inability to live among the primitive societies that Earth offered when they left Atlantis 10,000 years ago. Some of them chose to join the societies, thus spreading their genetic make-up into the populace, while others lived in seclusion and meditation.
Eventually Merlin and LeFey ascended. After a few thousand years, Merlin decided to retake human form in order to create the weapon. He attempted to hide his work through the use of the Interdimensional Device, but he was discovered. LeFey was the one sent to watch him.
Merlin kept his ascended knowledge and powers of the advanced humans. He was one of the most powerful beings on the planet at the time. He helped Arthur and built Camelot.
As LeFey tells her story, Daniel grows suspicious of her motives.
In the meantime, Mitchell, Carter, and Teal’c are working with the crew of the Odyssey to undertake a daring plan to cloak the Ori’s Stargate.
