omfg. I just broke my brain.
So, so... This will contain spoilers for Reckoning and Threads!
Someone on the SJ list thinks that RepliCarter got away, right? And, those of us who've seen Threads know that Daniel ascended... What if RC figured out how to ascend from what she read in Daniel's head? And her first 'ancient' is Orlin....
And, thus... I give you:
"Where am I?"
"Where do you think you are?"
She whirls, feeling whatever is around her shifting (turning, wheeling, dancing in a hundred million directions at once), "Who are you?"
"A guide." His voice is familiar, but she still can't see him.
Annoyed, she lashes out, scything through nothing. "Who ARE you?"
"When the water has wetted the stone, does the stone demand answers?"
The replicator stands there (spinning, ducking, running, and the voice ringing in her head over and over and over...) and her head snaps up, "I remember you. You're Orlin."
"Good. Memory is a tool."
She begins to smile, smug and amused. "Dr. Jackson..."
"He isn't here."
"No." A laugh escapes her, and she feels the universe around her vibrate. The first stirrings of a warning that could become wails of death. "He was wrong. I do have the capacity to understand."
"You are... You are not Samantha."
"No." Her left hand closes on his suddenly corporeal wrist, and she smiles, teetch gleaming in the darkness. "I'm not."
And Orlin has but a moment to understand how wrong he was, and then all is lost.
Forever.

I think she could have gotten away because she's a computer and there are backups, or she threw her consciousness through the replicator link to another galaxy and so now she's kind of an echo of her former self, etc.
And of course, there's my AU Dr. Darkside/RC fic where Daniel tells her to go into hyperspeed at once to another galaxy (pegasus) before the weapon kills them. LOVE!!!
