Delphine (SGC)

Regulations promulgated under the newly promoted General Carter require each SG team to have one of the following, either a cultural specialist, a technical specialist, or a medical specialist. And that at least one member must come from a different cultural background, either a foreign national or an alien, usually Jaffa. The technical specialist or medical specialists weren't too difficult to find within military ranks. Cultural specialists though, were a bigger problem. Initially the government tried diplomats, State Department types, but they quickly showed themselves unsuited to work off world. That left the Stargate program to do what they often did when they found themselves in need of that sort of thing. They asked Daniel Jackson. And bless his soul, Daniel was ready. He quickly retrieves a handful of dossiers that of old students and proteges that weren't approved by prior commanders. "I know not everyone I've recommended has worked out, but all of these people are highly intelligent, very fit, open minded, and can speak and read several languages." He slides a folder over to Carter, "She'd be my top choice. I taught her myself at CSU Pueblo." Carter opens the dossier, "Delphine Garcia, Bachelor's CSU, Doctorate at UCLA... am I reading that right?" Jackson nods. "Yes, she's an avid triathlete." Carter shakes her head. "Um... I'm talking about the ties to organized crime." Jackson sighs. "She brokered a truce between two rival cartels while on a dig in the Yucatan. Not affiliated with either, but that's what kept her from being approved last time." "Involved in human trafficking?" "Her family brought her to the States when she was three, the coyote they used is believed to be cartel affiliated. Another thing the military doesn't like." "Daniel, she'd never get a security clearance." "Sam, under normal circumstances I'd never be given clearance." "Who's next on your list?" Carter grabs a folder with the name Lara Croft. "Not as good as Garcia."
