Why This Must Be Read: Mitai wrote this gripping story for the wonderful sg1teamficathon. While it's chock full of teamy goodness, it also definitely fulfills the requirements of the request: "Doesn't want: Sam stuck in the background."

Crisis on a different planet: overtures of friendship actually mask a desire for mass destruction. "Does the name Euronda ring a bell?" And when Daniel is held hostage to Sam's abilities to help, the two of them, without saying a word, agree to do anything to stop it.

…And that's when the story first begins.

We get Sam-in-charge, doing anything and everything she can to survive despite truly horrific odds, as her desperate mantra becomes, "There was still a chance." We have Teal'c as avenging angel, both figuratively and literally, and Jack in the best and darkest of Black Ops mode. Even Daniel, despite spending much of the fic in a mostly-dead state, has a major impact on the story.

You'll be wincing and breathless and cheering for Sam every step of the way in this exciting story!
