"Except I can do it."

"I don't care. Maybe that's the way things work on planet Starbuck, but the rest of the universe doesn't see it that way. It's too risky."

He glances at her out of the corner of his eye, yeah, he knows what she wanted to say.

Sheppard smiles, shaking the offered hand. "Actually, I'm Lt. Colonel now-got a promotion after we kinda faked nuking Atlantis." He was still slightly amazed that they hadn't ended up doing it for real.

"So what was that about stupid pilot tricks? Did somebody in the squadron here have plans for something?"
