Why this should be read: SG-1 have been captured and separated before the story begins, and we watch from Daniel's POV as Sam rescues the rest of the team almost single-handed. This is about the kickass Sam whom we saw in the episode "Space Race".* A really enjoyable fic with some great insights into Sam. About 1600 words.

*ETA: Just want to point out the fic has Nothing to do with "Space Race" I was using that episode as an example of the part of Sam's character that I think is less often seen on the show.

God save anyone who underestimated Sam Carter.

This was the Sam that always surprised Daniel. Not the scientist or the soldier, but another person all together. Someone defined by an edge of recklessness that she normally hid underneath her levelheaded exterior. It was the part of her that set off on a motorcycle at a speed slightly past sane, the source of the urge that drove her to fly planes across enemy territory when she could have just as easily sat in a comfortable laboratory somewhere. It was recklessness, Daniel suspected, that brought her to the SGC in the first place.
