John smiled at Kara when she declared that she was in.
"Sure", he then said. It wasn't like he learned that much during the past weeks, but he'd tell them whatever he knew.
John then smiled at Yazoo. He seemed more friendly than the other two.
Then he however frowned slightly when Kadaj seemed to decide what they were going to do. He was used to making decisions himself. It wasn't like he didn't listen to superior officers - well, most of the time - but these three slightly strange looking men probably weren't much older than twenty. Suggestions were fine, but the way he already split them up in pairs kind of annoyed John a little, especially when the guy asked about his rank. That meant he knew John was military. He really hoped those guys were not military themselves, or at least Kadaj wasn't. His behavior didn't really speak for his ability to respect and listen to superior officers.
"I'm Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard, United States Air Force, Earth", he introduced himself. "What's your rank?", he then asked with a slightly raised eyebrow. He wasn't going to just agree to the guys plan, especially not as long as he didn't know anything about these guys.
When Lee approached him he glanced at him and felt a little unsure. What was Lees rank? He had never mentioned it, had he? He only said he was a pilot, if he remembered right.
He then nodded. "Sounds like a plan", he said to Lee and then knelt down to have a proper look at the already outspread map.
"I've been here already. Nothing but nature and animals there", he said and pointed at the west side of the woods. "Haven't checked the mountains and the east side yet. That's where we should go."
