Who could truly comprehend why one did things in a hostile environment? No one but his team – that's who. The team he had complete confidence in. The team he was fortunate enough to have.

So what had made him do it? Certainly seeing pretty colors didn't do it for him; he had seen it the first time and had nearly died. The mission he had been against since he had heard of it. Going to a planet only minutes away from Goa'uld arrival was pleasant enough, but to face ones fear of death was just tempting fate.

Still, when Daniel had leapt forward, he had had no choice but to do it – lest Sam get the same idea. So why had he done it? The planet couldn't afford to lose Carter or Jackson, and Teal'c was unable to contribute. Thus, it left him.

Besides, the Goa'uld had been just dozens of feet away – both on ground and overhead. He hadn't thought, just reacted, and had to live with the consequences. Such as Daniel saying a word, he insisted that Jack had said first. Just because he said it, didn't mean he knew what it meant. Didn't they know him by now?

Crosswords, simple fun, until Daniel had begun to spout off words he had written on it. Who would've thought that it would lead them on a wild goose chase he only half understood? Words aside, he didn't even understand the actions – it was as though his body had gone on autopilot. He was aware of what he was doing – just unable to stop it – not that he wanted to.

Besides, it had all worked out – for the most part. Though waking up when he had, had probably been the most confusing. So why had he done it? Damn the question. It was who he was: action without words. He had acted on instinct. One does not know what one would do in battle until one is in battle. That pretty much described him in that situation. And next time? There would never be a next time. Colonel Jack O'Neill himself, promised that.

A/N: I was watching the episode when Jack downloads the knowledge of the Ancient's into his brain a 2nd time and this just popped into my head. Too much imagination isn't always a bad thing...and again, I won't hound about reviews...lol. Oh, one more thing, these are going to be short drabbles, just so ya know. XD
