Why This Must Be Read:
Sam volunteers to accompany Daniel when he wants to spend some more time at an archaeological site on a planet that appears friendly and safe. Unfortunately, it proves anything but as Sam and Daniel find themselves captured by a power-crazy scientist. He implants one of his devices in them - a metal disc that causes one to feel the physical sensations of the other, and sends Sam through the 'gate with orders to return with naquadah in 48 hours, and an intense reminder that they can easily use Daniel to get her attention.

The entire team bands together in their effort to get Sam and Daniel out of this situation safely and Sam and Daniel build a deeper connection as the devices begin to transmit not just physical blows, but also anger and frustration. This is an idea that could go sappy or cracky but Aimless makes it work really well.


They were nearly to the gate room door when Sam felt a powerful blow to her jaw. Her head whipped painfully to the side and her body slammed against the wall.

"Dammit!" Sam was only able to vocalize the single word before another blow, this time to the solar plexus, stole the breath from her lungs and caused her to collapse to the floor.

"Major Carter!" Teal'c was kneeling at her side in an instant.

"I'm...fine...Teal'c," the Major managed between gasps for breath.

"You are not fine, Major Carter. I will assist you to the infirmary."

Irrational anger flared through her and Sam pushed out against the large Jaffa, causing him to take a few stumbling steps backwards. "Dammit, Teal'c! I said I was fine!"

She just sat there for a few moments, glaring daggers at Teal'c before she realized what had happened. "Oh my God, Teal'c. I'm so sorry."

Colonel O'Neill, having seen Carter push Teal'c, jogged to catch up. "Carter, Teal'c, what's going on?" he questioned, concern clearly showing in his eyes.

"I believe that Major Carter has just reacted to an injury sustained by Daniel Jackson." Teal'c raised an eyebrow as if daring the Major to deny the statement.

"Alright, Carter, let's get you to the infirmary and let the Doc take a look at you." O'Neill reached out a hand to help her stand.

"No, sir!" Sam slapped the hand away.

Surprised by the venom in the Major's voice, O'Neill took a step back. "Excuse me, but do the words Colonel or superior officer mean anything to you?"

Sam clasped her hands together so tightly that her knuckles began to turn white. 'Calm down, Daniel. Just relax. Take it easy,' she repeated to herself. "I'm sorry, sir," she finally said. "It's just..." she trailed off.

The Colonel knelt down before her. "What is it, Carter? I need to know what we're dealing with here."

"It's this damn link, sir," Sam answered while pinching the bridge of her nose.

"Does this have something to do with what Fraiser was saying about those fibers growing into the Limbic System of your brain?"

Sam tried to hide her surprise at both the fact that the Colonel had been paying attention to Janet as well as the fact that he had used the correct pronunciation. "Yes, sir. I can feel that Daniel's a bit, uh, agitated right now. Do you remember what he was like when we met up with Apophis on Netu?"
