The Marine looked over his shoulder at the blaster rifle and shrugged. Before focusing his attention towards the door again. 

Sheppard just shrugged at Erthos. "Maybe we're just that good." He turned as McKay spoke up.

"We got it!" Sheppard grimaced. Now they had the choice to either fight it out, break away from Erthos and then beam away in private or hitch a ride back. Maybe they could head towards the hangar, in the guise of going to some ship. Then either steal a ship claiming theirs was destroyed or again sneak away and beam. 

Sheppard turned to Erthos. "Look, I don't think you'd believe us if we told you, and right now I don't have the permission to tell you so-" He shrugged again. "-it'll stay a secret from now." He tapped his earpiece. "Daedalus this is Sheppard. We've got what we need but we're going to stay and support Commander Erthos in defending this tower." 

There was a sigh on the other end as Caldwell seemed to get the meaning behind his choice of words. "Roger that Sheppard. Keep us apprised."

"Will do, Sheppard out." He tapped his earpiece again turning off the radio. "Okay, so whats the gameplan here Commander?"
