"So, do you want the kids to know who you are?" Whyte finally asked him.

Daniel thought about it. He could just be little Dani Jackson, a new civilian scientist-type, keep to himself, and not have to offer any explanations or make any small talk about anything. But he suspected that he couldn't do that. And any kid in the SG program was going to pick up on the name anyway. He couldn't see going to the trouble to create a whole fake identity for a bunch of kids who were going to know who he was sooner or later anyway.

He shrugged.

"Why not? I can be an object lesson in the dangers of Gate travel and space exploration." He smiled. "One of the few benefits of the new persona. I love those seconds when the airman who's been watching my ass and imagining dragging me off to the nearest store room for a quickie suddenly realizes that I'm the guy who lost his dick in a freak, yet to be explained, Gate related incident."

The colonel chuckled as he stood up to leave.

"Well, not everybody spooks so easily. Listen, I know this must be tough. If there's anything I can do to help you get used to the new situation, let me know. My tent flap's always open, and I'm a broad-minded guy."

And to Daniel's amazement, he gave him a cheeky wink before turning on his heel and walking off.
