"Commander Hartman?" Cassie asked.
"Myles." He corrected.
"Myles, I'm Cassandra Fraiser." She held out her hand. "Janet's my Mom."
"It's nice to meet you. Would you like to sit down?" He asked shaking her hand.
"Do you dance Commander?"
"Dance?" He questioned.
"Yes dance."
"Yes." He said hesitantly.
"Good, because you and I need to have a little chat."
"About what?" He asked as they began dancing.
"Stay away from my mother."
"Excuse me?" He said stunned at her bluntness.
"Don't hit on my mother." She repeated.
"Cassandra you're mother is an adult, she can talk to whom she likes and I'm sure she can date who she likes too."
"And she likes Daniel. I've been working on this for three years and I'm not going to let you screw this up."
"Don't you think if she likes Dr Jackson she would have done something about it?" Myles asked.
"Daniel has just got to a point where he can deal with what happened to his wife, I'm not going to let you interfere. You're only going to be here another three weeks."
"How exactly do you know that?"
"I know a lot more than you think I do. Stay away from her."
"Is that a threat?" Myles asked.
"Think of it more as a friendly warning." She said with a fake smile.
"Cassandra, you are a child I really don't think you can do much."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that Commander. I'm an alien." She whispered into his ear.
"What?" He exclaimed.
"Mom adopted me after SG-1 rescued me from Hanka after the Goa'uld killed everyone on my planet and then tried to use me as bomb to destroy Earth. These people are my family, if Jacob and his friends had to choose sides trust me they'd pick my side, so would Bra'tac and Rya'c. General Hammond well you don't want to know about that." He looked at her with disbelief. "It's true ask anyone who works at the base." The song ended. "Thank you for the dance Commander."
"Is everything okay?" Janet asked as she and Daniel walked over. Myles still had a slightly stunned look on his face.
"Yes Mom." Cassie replied. "I promised Bra'tac that you and I would help teach him and Rya'c to dance. No time like the present."
"True. I'll see you both later."
"Is she really an alien?" Myles said after a minute to Daniel.
"Yes. But I wouldn't mention that too loudly given the number of people who aren't familiar with the project and the fact that you sign a non- disclosure agreement. I'd hate to have a couple of the SF's throw you in the brig and ruin the wedding."
Myles's face whitened.
"Excuse me, I need to go and talk to Teal'c." Daniel said hiding a smile.

"Mr Secretary can I ask you a question off the record?" Jack said.
"Of course Colonel."
"What do you know about Lieutenant Commander Myles Hartman?"
"He's the Navy's Missile expert. Why do you ask Colonel?"
"He's been assigned to work with Sam at the base."
"I know I authorised it. What is concerning you Colonel?" The Secretary of Defence asked.
"Sir in my line of work you tend to pick up on when something about a situation seems wrong and more aptly when something seems wrong with people. We took him with us on a short trip last week and both Dr Jackson and I have concerns about Commander Hartman and his motives."
"I value your opinion Colonel, so I'll have someone look further into his background for you."
"Thank you sir."
"What's Major Carter's opinion on the Commander?" The Secretary inquired.
"She seems to like him, and respects his opinion in relation to the reason he's at the base."
"I see. As I said I'll have someone look into it. But Colonel while I have you here I'd like your opinion something else."
