[Sliding into a seat next to him and tapping on the side of his own communicator thoughtfully.]

I bet that's everyone, though. None of us really knew about the war or the Kharaa, or what it means for the people of Earth to be able to get away from them. And that's not even counting all of the stuff that's going on with the planet itself. It's crazy to think about how much we have to do.

But the way I see it, just because we're learning everything at once doesn't mean we have to do everything at once. All of this stuff was still a fact before we knew about it and it hasn't blown up in our faces before now. We can give ourselves some time to sort through the information we have and come up with a solution. I don't want us to not do anything. But I don't want us to rush in without coming up with a solid plan of action either.

[He's done that before, and he doesn't want to make the same mistake more often than he has to.]
