"Sorry, to be harsh with you Jack." Hammond looked to a bunch of papers. "But your mission reports are..."

Jack sighed. "I know sir, I know my handwriting isn't up to much ...I'm practicing..."

George let out a deep breath. "Jack, the only handwriting on this report is your signature."

Jack looked around the room.

"This report," Hammond held the piece of paper. "Is word processed." Hammond dropped the paper and clasped his hands.

"All I was going to say was, that they are not given to me on time."

Jack gazed at The General with shock. He never thought that he would ever say that.

"I know sir," Jack started off apologetically. "But I've just been too busy saving the planet from Anubis and his gang of snake-heads."

General Hammond smile at The Colonel. "Very true."

Suddenly there was a tap at the door to Hammond's office.

"Enter," Hammond called.

The door opened and Daniel entered.

"You wanted to see me sir?"

"Yes, Dr. Jackson. Please sit down."

Daniel sat down.

"How is our guest, Dr. Jackson?"

"Well," began Daniel. "She's in shock at meeting her farther for the first time. Which is proberly understandable. The thing is..." Daniel paused. "She knew who he was the moment she saw him."

"What about Jonas?" Jack enquired.

"Quite well, actually." Daniel replied. "Well for the time being. Astraea was worried that Jonas would reject her. Even though she's harsesis and Hok-tau, she's still only a young human woman. It's a lot to handle."

Jack shuddered.

Daniel and Hammond looked at him.

"What?" asked Hammond.

Jack squirmed on his seat. "It's just that having a child with a Goa'uld...It's just...ewww." Jack shuddered again.

"But nothing...like...that...happened." Daniel pointed out.

"I'd say one thing about her." Jack changed the subject, as it was getting more disturbing by the minute. "The girl certainly has his smile. You never could miss that smile."

"Oh General, before I forget," Daniel began, "Dr. Hunter, would like to know if it is possible to speak to Astraea. It is her field of expertises."

"Hunter?" Jack asked. "That girl who wears bright clothes and speaks with a funny British accent? I can never tell if she's English or Scottish."

Daniel rolled his eyes to the skys, his head shook slightly.

"Permission granted." The General agreed.

"Yeah," Jack also agreed. "Maybe she'll open up with someone from her neck of the woods."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Thanks Daniel," smiled Janna.

"Think nothing of it." Daniel smiled back. "I know what it was like when I first came here. Feeling intimated by the military."

Daniel and Janna approached Astraea's room.

Daniel knocked on the door.

"Enter," a voice called.

Daniel opened the door. In the room Astraeaas and Jonas were sat on the bed. gazing intensively into each others eyes. No facial features, no blinking, smiling...no movement. Just breathing in rhythm.

Daniel and Janna looked at each other in confusion.

"What's going on?" Janna asked. The young doctor then give a double take. "Jonas?!!" she exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"

Jonas didn't reply. He just kept looking into Astraea's eyes.

"Astraea, what are you doing?" Daniel asked.

Astraea didn't reply. Within a couple of seconds Astraea blinked once, then twice very quickly. Then Jonas began to blink.

Astraea turned to a small bedside table and picked up two glasses of water and handed one to Jonas.

"This will ground ourselves." Astraea smiled. Astraea then turned to smile at Daniel.

"To answer your question, Daniel Jackson. I was receiving information about my father's life."

"How?"

"Well, I read his mind, and I delved deep into his memories. My mind processed this information very quickly. Finally, the looking into the eyes of the subject helps me to focus."

"Oh!" Janna exclaimed. "Kinda like downloading using a wireless connection?"

"Wireless connection?" Astraea asked. "Of course! Yes, it is kind of like that. I'm receiving information without a cable connection." Astraea smiled. "This information was given to me by my father."

"Astraea, this is Dr. Janna Hunter,"

Jonas raised from the bed and turned to Janna.

"Janna, it's great to see you."

Janna smiled then blushed. "It's great to see you too!" She give him a hug. "I've missed you." When she let go, Janna noticed Daniel's face of confusion.

Janna heaved a sigh and smiled, "I'm not the stereotypical Brit, am I?"

"It's just...no sorry." Daniel apologized. "Hey," Daniel addressing Jonas "You wanna grab a coffee while these two talk?"

"Sure" Jonas replied.

As Daniel and Jonas where leaving, Jonas turned and smiled at his daughter and winked at Janna.

"You're attracted to him." Astraea stated after the door closed behind the two men.

Janna's eyes closed. "Is it that obvious?"

"I read your mind." Astraea smiled, "But your attraction to my father also shows in your body gestures."

Janna turned bright red as she opened her note and sat on the bed.

"Wait!" Janna glanced up. "Did you say 'Father'? Jonas Quinn is your father?!"

Astraea sat next to Janna on the bed. She faced the young scientist and nodded.

Janna's eyebrows raised. "Okay, I won't go there. Moving on..."

Astraea give Janna a confused look.

"Well," Janna began. "Can I ask you about life in the village?"

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"How has life been since you returned home?" Jonas asked.

Daniel and Jonas were sat in the Mess Hall having a coffee. Daniel picked up his coffee and sipped it. He then placed it back on the table he sat at. Jonas, sat opposite him, watched with interest.

"Eye opening."

"In what way?" The young man asked.

"I realized what I left behind. But I suppose I didn't really have a choice. When Oma helped me to ascend, I thought I was taken a step forward in my life. Well, if I didn't ascend then I would either or died or never had the life that I had back." Daniel paused. "I believed, at the time, that my life with SG1 had become standard and kind of stale. I wanted something more."

Daniel took a sip of his coffee.

"Jonas," Daniel began looking into the eyes of the young ambassador in front of him. "Please believe me when I tell you that I never blamed you for my leaving. In a way it was my own choice."

"But I could of said something..." Jonas protested.

"I doubt that your government would have listened." Daniel interrupted Jonas' protest. "You did do the right thing though, in the end." Daniel smiled.

"Also," Daniel continued. "I doubt that deep down Jack blamed you either. Nor Sam, Teal'c or General Hammond."

"In a way I'm thankful," Daniel smiled. I would never of had my life back, if it wasn't for that day."

Daniel put down his coffee on to the table. "What about yourself?"

Jonas looked down. "Adjusting to life back in Kelwona after over a year of adventure, was abit of a ..." Jonas paused to think of the right word. "As some Earth people say "abit of a dampener." I shared what I learned about The Goa'uld to my people and helped to rebuild the world after years of mistrust and war. The invasion of Anubis was the wake-up call my planet needed. But there was still the bickering of what to do. After my countrymen admitted to the rest of Langara, that it was their negligence that caused the vein of naquadriah that nearly destroyed the planet, it showed the people from all over the world, that we can be honest and everyone started to trust each other again. We've made more progress in these last few months than we've made in my lifetime." Jonas paused for a moment and smiled. "So we've both gained something."

Daniel and Jonas sat in silence for a few minutes.

"You mentioned something about your people knew about your people know about genetics?" Daniel enquired. "You've never mentioned about that before."

Jonas took a large gulp of coffee. "It's a long story that started a few generations ago. Medicine was my country's prized knowledge. A geneticist named Christan discovered that certain people had certain genes that most of the planets population didn't have. These genes made people more stronger, intelligent, less susceptible to illness. The gene made them in essence a stronger human being. One that could become very powerful in a few generations. A man called Colden, the First Minister at the time, ordered people to be tested. Out of the millions tested, only fifteen percent of the population tested positive."

Daniel leaned closer to listen. He was intrigued. "What happened to them?"

Jonas rested his hand under his head with his elbows on the table. "Some where forced to be separated from their families, and forced to have children with someone with the same genes."

Daniel closed his eyes. "Eugenics. Something similar happened on Earth sixty years ago. When a mad man tried to take over the world and forced people with blond hair and blue eyes to make a "super race".

"Not all were forced to do that." Jonas continued. "As there was a chance that a child could receive the gene from only one parent. So, the scientists took "samples" and grew babies in the lab. About seventy children were born this way. As were my great grandparents." Jonas looked up at Daniel's curious face, as he took another gulp of coffee.

"When The Terrians and The Andarans found out they got very concerned. They condemned Kelowna's actions. The hospital where most of the babies were created, was destroyed by a military invasion. Three hundred fetus' were destroyed, over fifty babies burned to death by the intensive fire bombing to the hospital. Many more were hunted and assassinated. But not all. In the end, the project was shut down. Christan was captured by Terrian forces and sentenced to death. Many believe he was only put to death because he wouldn't help them with their super-human program, but we don't think that they have the gene. But this fact has been debited.

"Have you always known about your grandparents?" Daniel asked.

"No, never." Jonas swirled his mug around. "I only got a feeling when Dr. Frasier said that I am different to the average human. I found out, that I'd been watched all my life. Why I was given such a high position at my young age, in my old life."

"Does anyone else know?" Daniel enquired. "Have you told Kianna?"

"I think a couple of people in high places know. If everyone knew I'd be put in a special facility for the rest of my life. Profectians are not to live in society."

"Provectians?"

"Advanced people."" Jonas placed his mug of coffee on to the table. "To answer your second question, Kianna and I are simply friends. She changed alot when her Goa'uld was removed. We still keep in contact, but she requested to be reassigned. We both agreed it was for the best. I didn't tell her that I'm a Provectian. I'm not sure how she would of taken it."

"There most be other Provectians?" Daniel stated.

Jonas nodded. "Yes, but that's not in doubt. Even though the last recored Provectian was fifteen years ago."

"Would Dr. Jackson and Ambassador Quinn, please report to the debriefing room. ASAP" A voice announced over a P.A.

"Looks like the coffee break is over..." Daniel smiled.

Jonas returned the smile. "It's been good chatting to you, Daniel."

"You too." Daniel agreed.

Both of the men got up and left the mess hall, wondering what Dr. Hunter had found out about Astraea, Jonas' daughter.
