"He used to be a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force, ah, before he joined the N.I.D. That was years ago, though. Sometimes, when he was giving me grief, I'd only refer to him by his rank, and he ended up calling me Lieutenant when I did." She smirks a little, rolling her eyes at her father.  "He's a good man, cares about me a lot, and he's throwing a fit that I'm working for the SGC now. Area 51 was one thing, but he thought I was out of harms way there. I want to be out in the thick of things, and he's not pleased."She sighs, glancing at the table for a moment before raising her gaze to make eye contact once more. "I don't have many friends, and I think that might cost me some points. There's a few engineers I talk tech with, and I eat with them sometimes, but I don't have any real friends on base or back home. Colonel, when you've graduated highschool at sixteen, the kids your age are intimidated by you and the college kids want nothing to do with you. I had friends from when I was a little kid, but, I moved a few times and we lost touch." She pauses for a brief moment, as if about to elaborate, but changes her subject."I've been so busy with my work that I have colleagues, not friends. It's not that I'm not likable, it's just that most of the folks I end up working with are old enough to be my dad, so, I'm sure you can understand their resentment." "Um," she hesitates, searching her mind for something to add. "Oh! I had a cat while I was stationed at Area 51, but I had to send her to live with my father, since there's no pets allowed on base."I do have a few hobbies- I'm not all work and no play..." She hesitates, looking for a reaction before she continues, "I have a brown belt in kenpo karate, I use that and yoga to stay in shape, and I still keep limber enough for gymnastics, though I'm awful rusty. I have my bike; modified it myself, and it rides like a dream. I'm alright with a car, but I love riding a motorcycle." She smiles before quietly adding, "fast."</blockquote>
