Rodney sat back in his seat, his expression falling to a scowl. He didn't like mentionning them-- in his book, while they had wonderous cities and incredible technology, every single one that he'd met (or read about) were, well, jerks. Pure and simple. Whether they were ascended or only 'technically'. And more to the point, he didn't like feeling as if he was being put on the spot, even if only through Dr. Jackson. Security meant safety. And, if anyone finds out that the barely defensible City 'out there' still exists, he puts his friends in jeopardy, if only indirectly.
