[Evil laughter] Oooh, you let an evil little scenario out of confinement. :-D Although the teamy moment I'd like to see is brief, several thoughts collided to create it.

Kernel #1: How much, if any, of the details of Shifu's "teaching dream" did Daniel include in his report or discuss with the rest of SG-1? Specifically, did he ever mention vaporizing Moscow?

Kernel #2: In early season 7, Daniel's pre-ascension memories did not return in an orderly fashion, but came as scattered pieces that had to be put back in context (if/when he recalled the context) and gradually reassembled into a properly-connected and coherent whole.

Query #1: Without proper context, would Daniel be able to recognize that memories from the teaching dream were not memories of actual events?

Query #2: How would SG-1 react to casual reference to a horrific event that happened only in that teaching dream?

Your mission (prompt), should you choose to accept it: Describe the moment of confusion/shock/astonishment/horror/disbelief experienced by SG-1 when Daniel makes casual reference to "blowing up Moscow". You can have Daniel actually asking, "Did/Didn't I blow up Moscow?" or have him assuming the memory is correct, "But how can we get a message from Moscow? I totally vaporized it." If Daniel never told anyone about that detail of his dream, half the fun could be having SG-1 figure out why he thinks he blew up Moscow. I don't need a big story around this image; I'd be happy with just the moment of reaction and realization. :-)

Even if this nugget doesn't get written up, Fig, thanks for the opportunity to share a persistent image. :-)
