Doc straightend a little from where he'd slouched in his seat, head leaned in one hand, eyes flicking around the table as each person spoke. As usual others had covered most of his thoughts already which was fine by him. He was never good at huge round-table discussions like this; ninja were loners by nature and as good as he had gotten at cooperating in teams and small groups with his family having to do so much negotiating with so many people made him fidgety with the urge to take action instead of sitting around talking.

In most other situations he'd have liked to stick up for Daniel's more diplomatic approach but his desire not to cooperate with or even vaugely support a clone-enslaving government held his tongue. Besides that, no matter how angry this world made him, Doc had always been a 'bigger picture' man...

"If the Ohm weren't as persistent and insanely destructive as they are I would be inclined to take Dr. Jackson's advice and do this the 'nice way' but frankly considering the stakes I don't have any qualms about stealing what we need to save the rest of the universe from this place."

"Yeah, we're probably going to make enemies of the Galileeans and yes it's kind of a dick move to take their tech and leave them to fight it out for themselves, but when it comes down to it - so what? The chances of us running into them again are slim and if we don't get all the resources we need to go up against the Ohm it's possible those chances will drop to nil due to neither of us existing anymore.

I'm all for diplomacy, but I don't think we can afford much of it here."

He cast a glance at Dick. "I'll take care of getting us information on exactly what equipment they have and what it's used for if you want. I've spent more than enough time with Stacy's libraries to know what's essential."
