The concerned frown on Daniel's face deepens. But that's just the problem - Daniel doesn't want Satan to be an ally, or an associate, or anything. But forcing him to be the opposite would simply be a death sentence, or the Daniel Jackson equivalent since death sentences don't seem to have their typical permanence when extended to him.

"What, you, you think we were brought together on purpose?" He doesn't want to entertain the notion that the Rift could have placed him here specifically for Satan's benefit. He really doesn't. But he only arrived a few days before the Devil himself, and they met almost immediately after the bloodbath that was Lucifer's introduction to Manhattan and - oh god. Oh god. "Like some - like, you mean fate?"

Daniel has a lot of goals in life. Being destined as something of a secondhand vessel or affiliate for Satan really isn't one of them.
