Yes, and that's supposed to be reassuring? Actually no, probably not, and this discussion is doing a good job of making Daniel incredibly concerned about possibly having another system lord on their hands.
Though the way Nick decides to steer it instead, going off about angels rather than galactic subjugation - and a distinct lack of glowing eyes or glowing anything - would imply this is something else. Something else. Oh, grand. Daniel has enough something elses in his life right now. His entire existence is practically one big something else, followed by two or three question marks for good measure.
"Maybe angels can get cut off." Daniel's choosing to play along, keep this whole dialogue in the ambiguous place it's been hovering at until he's positive of - of what, exactly? Of whether or not this is something he should be worried about? Should he be putting through a preemptive call to dispatch? Would that be helpful in the slightest?
Hypothetically, Daniel's wagering no.
"You know, separated from their fellows," he continues with a faint shrug. He's not sure if he's actually straddling a double meaning here, or even what kind of double meaning it would be. "Or, like you said - some are just good at hiding and one would have to resort to less, um, conventional methods in locating them."
Angels. He's having an extended discourse with a random hitchhiker about angels. False alien deities Daniel has a fair grasp of. He knows how to approach them, how to think like them, how to kill them, how to disassemble their societies built on centuries of reverential enslavement. He has less of an idea of how one would deal with angels. Hypothetically, of course.
