"Ms. O'Niell I presume"
"Doctor, actually" Cassi answered hesitantly as she took the man's hand.
"Of course" he said with an oily smile.
"What's he doing here?" Jack asked defensivly, pulling his daughter's hand out of his.
Who is he? Jack could hear the distaste in Cassi's mental voice and applauded it.
Just a worm he answered, somewhat surprised she didn't know.
I said there were a couple differences between realitites she responded, He's one of 'em.
Lucky you! Jack quipped, surprised at how quickly their exchanges took place.
"Thought speed" Cassi muttered under her breath so only her father could hear.
"Major Samuels was sent to evaluate the situation, Colonel" Hammond answered Jack's previous question. Alothough distaste also flavored his response only SG-1 and Cassi could tell. She took her cue from the others and said nothing as they all sat around the conference table. Dr. Fraser entered the room carrying a folder that no doubt held her DNA test results for the Major.
"That's right. The Joint Chiefs are somewhat disbelieveing of the situation" Samuels smirked.
"They're also worried about this request of Dr. O'Niell's to join SG-1"
"When did you put that request in?" Carter asked.
"Um...yesterday" Cassi answered meekly, knowing she should have informed her mother.
"Well, before any of that is determined, we want to run a few tests" Samuels, again, smirked.
"You're not turning my daughter into a guinea pig just so you can experiment with her abilities" Jack said heatedly, rising slightly in his chair.
"Are you sure she's your daughter, Colonel?" Samuels asked snidley.
"Physically she is" Dr. Fraser piped up, "The DNA tests were conclusive" She handed her file to Samuel's waiting hand. He parused the papers, understanding little of what he read. He snapped the file closed again.
"Well, what about this story of super brain powers? Surely you don't believe that, General?"
"We did have a demonstration of her telekenetic abilities the day before last. Since then both the Colonel and Major Carter have experienced examples of her telepathy" the General stated, not really answering the question.
"Would you like another demonstration, Major Samuels?" the girl asked. The Major, thinking he would be able to catch her in her lie, nodded shortly. The next second he found himself floating in the air above his chair by no means he could account for.
"Miss O'Niell!" Hammond barked. Samuels gently lowered back into his chair.
Rather convincing, isn't it? the girl's voice said coyly in his head. His startled expression was proof to everyone he had heard her loud and clear. He cleared his throat and tugged on his tie.
"Well, is that good enough for you" Jack growled.
"Yes, well" the Major cleared his throat again, "More tests will still have to be conducted"
"Excuse me, but didn't she just prove to you that she was telling the truth?" Daniel asked.
"About actually being....psychic....or whatever, yes" he seemed to calm as he took up the offensive again, "But nothing about her actual limits, or anything about the knowledge she claims to have"
"What of the mission to P-3P-2467?" Teal'c asked. Samuels regarded him with obvious disdain, nearing hatred, showing on his face.
"That will be decided after the tests have been conducted" he answered, "For right now, she's to accompany me to Washington, where the tests will be conducted" He rose from his chair and two Marines came to stand behind Cassi.
"Now, wait a minute!" Jack yelled, jumping up from his chair. Carter stood too.
"Major, as her parents, don't we have a say in this?" she asked, obviously upset.
"No, Major, you do not" he answered brusquely. A Marine moved to haul Cassi out of her chair.
"You take your hands off her!" Jack cried, thrusting his finger in the Marine's face.
"Careful, Colonel" the Major advised with no sincerity. Cassi, her face as calm as ever, laid a hand on her father's arm.
Don't Dad she suggested, It'll just make things worse
"Major," she said aloud, "I will participate in these tests. However, my parents will accompany me" She stated it quietly but her voice was so commanding the Major made no comment for a moment.
"Out of the question" he finally managed. Again the Marine's made a move toward her, but found they couldn't move any closer.
"You can't force me" she said. The Major pulled his gun out. Jack and Carter both moved to dive in front of Cassi while Teal'c moved toward the Major. All were stopped before they reached their goals.
"Go ahead" Cassi egged, "I'll even let you pull the trigger before I stop the bullet" The Major hesitated. A stony anger/resolute determination gleamed on her face and he found himself swallowing hard in fear. He lowered his weapon.
"Fine" he agreed, "They can come" Everyone regained mobility.
"Major, that was uncalled for. Your superiors will be hearing about this" Hammond blustered angrily. A unremorseful nod was his answer. Cassi gracefully rose from her seat and motioned for the Marines to proced her. This they did quickly, aware that they girl held all the cards. Her parents followed slowly behind.
"Good luck" Daniel chirped.
"Farewell, Cassi O'Niell" Teal'c added. Cassi flashed a self confidant grun and a wink back at them.
