Woah. And all conveniently bible-theme-named, save for Nick.
Unless that's - not coincidental.
Crap. No. Crap. Daniel does not want this to be what he thinks it might be, but someone whose job is steadily dismantling an alien power structure that's deeply, accurately rooted in human religious literature is inclined to be more than a little suspicious at this point. Historically that power structure has adapted itself around Egyptian mythology, occasionally expanding to encompass the Greco-Roman, the Babylonian, the Celtic, ad nauseum, but not so much the Judeo-Christian. Except -
"Your dad's name doesn't happen to be 'Yahweh,' does it?" Daniel asks in as casual a tone as he can contrive. Or 'Satan,' he doesn't add, because he's already met a Satan, though that particular system lord preferred Sokar. But Daniel's ninety-five percent sure that Sokar's dead. He's been dead. For years. Please please please let him actually be dead.
