"Listening to others, considering well what they say" (Part 3: Maingate Hotel)
The Maingate Hotel was pretty extravagant, and an entire section of it had been eked out for the crew's use during their stay. They had several suites, three communal areas, a conference room, their own kitchen with a chef on call if they required her.
They were all teleported from the main teleport pad of the hotel into the conference room, which was a large enough room to be able to hold a group their size and had plenty of chairs arranged in a circular pattern so they could mostly all face each other or whoever was in the middle of the room.
Everyone had to settle down so they were all able to talk, and the meeting itself would have to be carefully controlled so they wouldn't all talk over each other. But they were up for the task, right?
[ooc: Guardian Setup, General Mingling, Clone Checkup, Newbie Briefing, General Briefing, More Mingling, Back to the Meeting, and The Idea Guy sections are open. Backup characters introduced to the plot can join in the mingling subthreads if they want. The opening of new subthreads will be announced here and the ooc. Please read the linked OOC post for a plot timeline.]

Gonna wrap this up, okay? :3
The Doctor let Rory sort it outloud. It could be like that, yes.
As for the situation with the clones. The Doctor could definitely see Rory's side in all this. It was likely these clones were people, even if the majority of the Galileans and even possibly the clones themselves might not see it that way. Growing, literally, in this sort of environment could do that to a person. Make a person believe they were a non-person, simply because they were told that from the very beginning and everyone all seemed to agree on it, so surely it must be true.
"I'm not quite convinced they're as a united front as you seem to think," the Doctor said, fingers laced together in his lap. "Even without this resistance. And normally I'd disagree and say time isn't quite an issue, but..." he trailed off. There wasn't really an easy way to go back and give Galilean society a few nudges and tweaks here and there and anyway, that was almost as sketchy as something more direct. A big emergency thing, really. When you had no other choice and no time at all.
But right, Rory wouldn't remember that. After all, it hadn't happened to him yet. The Doctor had no idea if even Kazran and Abigail existed in Time at all, if the Ohm had gotten to their planet.
"Don't worry!" The Doctor got to his feet, leaning forward to slap Rory on his knee. He broke into a big smile. "Things have a habit of correcting themselves. Remember Amy and Molly, and everyone back on Earth."
He decided to leave Rory with that. Rory was his own man, perhaps excessively reasonable, but he could come to his own conclusions and sort out just what his long and short term priorities were.
