Jason let the others get their pieces said before he finally spoke, addressing the issues that had arisen. First, he turned to the crew of the [i]Second Chance[/i] but before he can speak, Kham Rho, who'd started in place of the Supreme Commander and was the ship's resident Head Engineer and lead Scientist, speaks up after reading his datapad for the last several minutes. "You bring up two separate solutions, one which suggests we further break the quantum physics of this version of my home and the other of which suggests that this Anubis, who I just finished reading up on courtesy of the Asgardian on the [i]Daedalus[/i], is the kind to parlay. As the good Colonel and Doctor McKay already explained, he's hard to kill for starters. He's also uninterested in playing nice. Their records from one SG1 Team, McKay, I'm going to need help understanding that bit, indicate if you aren't going to worship him, he just wants you dead. No parlay, no negotiating and, well, part energy? MAYBE ray shields, but we'd have to trick him into getting behind them."

The Cathar steps forward further, his light red fur shining in the lighting and his fingers ending in small black claws. "Now, back to crossing our technology to fix problems in this galaxy that we haven't already fixed. Do you understand the HELL we went through just trying to integrate a class 2 hyperdrive into the [i]Glasgow[/i]? We're fucking lucky something didn't turn out to be explosively incompatible. No, as this ship's head engineer, and I'm sure the [i]Solonis[/i]'s head engineer will agree, I have to say it's too dangerous and unpredictable to be testing on our ships." Jason let the silence after Kham's rant stretch a little before speaking, addressing Eggman, his tone dark and unimpressed.

"From what I understand, Doctor, is that your people had to use these strange emeralds JUST to break atmosphere. None of us need them nor, as Eri'Moram has stated, have even heard of them. She's addressed many of the points I can make, specifically that if all you can contribute is knowledge based around these chaos emeralds, then kindly be quiet and do not speak until your opinion is needed. However, you claim to be a scientist, so perhaps you can learn from the rest of us, perhaps even take home something to help your people. Again, until then, listen and don't speak." Finally, the [i]Glasgow[/i]'s captain, Travis, brought up the primary concern.

"And so we come to our primary issue, a renewal of our forces. The Separatists I had mentioned earlier, they would have been powerful allies due to their army. It was made of droids and far more readily replenished than the Clones of the Republic, though we were never far behind. With their fall however, I'm forced to suggest an extreme and that's that I lead a portion of the fleet to attack Kamino and attempt to secure cloning equipment. While it will be outdated compared to what we have back home in the Deep Labs, Kham and his team can update it over time and we have the genetic template used for our Phase III clones stored onboard. The only remaining issue at that point would be securing a means for arms and armor."
