"Doctor Fraiser has okayed her for another month, Colonel" Hammond reminded Jack.
"I know, sir, but there's a lot of risk and she's......well she's just..."
"Colonel!" Hammond interrupted, "I'm sure the Major knows her limits. She has another month of active duty and I will not put her on leave until that time, or until she asks." That argument settled, the General opened the door to his office and the two men joined the rest of SG-1 for their shedualed briefing.
"We have another training week schedualed for the new recruits. Colonel, what are your thoughts?" Jack switched tracks, still unhappy with the outcome of his private meeting.
"Santos and Derodes tend not to follow protocol, but they think on their feet" he told the group, "Brickner and Hall are too gun-ho and Hall doesn't like to follow orders"
"Dr. O'Neill?' General Hammond had found Cass to be a great resource in grading the recruits that got sent to them. She was able to detect a lot about them that no one else could pick up on, even without looking into their minds. Hammond had been throwing her in with the groups as "another recruit" for a day or two so she could really get a feel for them. Though the recruits were told about the Stargate program in order for them to properly train, they were not privy to all of the details. So, they had no idea that Cass was really just another test.
"Actually sir, I tend to agree with Dad, er, the Colonel on this one" She could tell most people at the table were somewhat surprised. While Jack tended to judge performance, and judge harshly, his daughter tended to judge on potential. Therefore, they didn't usually agree.
"I think Santos and Derodes are creative thinkers, good leaders, and have a general open mindedness that works best in this program. In the back of his mind, Brickner doesn't really believe any of this is really real, and Hall....Hall is in it for the glory. Dangerous on the field, not just for him but also for whoever he's supposed to be working with too"
"I've never had any problems with any of them, least of all Brickner" Sam added, "But I will admit to some trepidation about Hall"
"Private Hall has often disregarded my instructions. It is my belief he does not trust me because I am Jaffa" Teal'c added too.
"Alright. We'll put them through a test and see how it goes. Does anybody have any new ideas?" Hammond asked. The same procedure would be more than enough to run the recruits through, but they all began to get bored with the same routines every time.
"I have an idea that will really throw them off" Cass offered, somewhat hesitantly, sort of like the way you've done before, using one member of their ranks to fool them, after the test in over. Only this time, you can use me. We can use Dad, er, the Colonel and I's relationship to further fool them"
"Cassi, what are you talking about?" Jack asked, exhausted by trying to keep up with his own daughter.
"I think what she's saying is we set up an easily recognizable test where they figure out your relationship, then use it to really concrete the 'truthfullness' of the test when she fires on you" Daniel explained.
"Exactly" Cass confirmed.
"So I have to get shot" Jack grumbled, "Again."
Oh, buck up! Cass told him privately.
"Well?" Sam asked.
"It's a good idea" Hammond answered, "I'll have them start working on it right away." They were getting up from the table to attend to the rest of their duties for the day, mostly paper work, when the warning alarms started reverberating through the room. All six of them rushed to the control room to see the Stargate spinning.
"Off world activation!" the duty officer reported.
"Who's expected back?" Hammond demanded.
"No one" Cass answered
"Sir! It's a To'kra signal, sir!" the duty officer announced.
"Open the Iris!" Hammond ordered. The titanium sheets retracted just in time to let three figures step through onto the ramp.
"Cassi?" Sam asked quietly.
"Can't read them" her daughter replied, "Duel minds. I just get a jumble" The three figures stayed on the ramp, just in front of the stargate as the wormhole disapated. They were more easily defined without the back glow.
One was female. She wasn't tall, but she was lithe, with bright red hair. The other two were male, both tall and broad shouldered. One had sandy blondish hair, and was paler than the other. Cass's abnormally sharp eyes picked up a strong square jaw bone and crystal green eyes.
The other man was just the opposite. His skin was a darker color, honey kissed, and his hair was raven black. His eyes were deep and wer nearly black, but Cass though she saw a purple tint in them.
All three wore the garb of To'kra, and, of course, carried no weapons. They didn't appear to be much older than Cass herself, in their late 20's by the look of it.
"Well, shall we go meet our guests?" Hammond suggested.
P.S. Sorry about the misspelling of the To'kra. Couldn't find it correctly ANYWHERE!
