Todd looked at her as she skipped over some key elements to this story.
Like the fact she could kill you with a mere touch.
When she was done talking, McKay asked, "What's your world-" but the commander interrupted immediately.
"You might as well tell them, Rogue." he said, looking at Sheppard, then back to her. "They're going to find out the truth eventually and keeping it from everyone will make things worse should...something happen."
He was not going to keep her ability a secret. He'd spent years earning Sheppard's-and everyone else's-trust. They had not agreed on hiding this, and Atlantis, while a city, was far more busy than a hive ship, she was bound to bump into someone here. And as everyone was human, they'd likely end up like her boyfriend, in a coma, or dead.
Many around the table seemed surprised by this. Evidently Todd was not one to come clean, and expected him to hide his own agenda or the like. Even the stoic Ronon raised a scarred eyebrow.
