Kai was the last one to walk back through the stargate. They had been on the planet for over an hour, trying to find any clues of where they may have taken John. Stepping back into the gate room felt a little like giving up. John had been missing for almost two hours now and it felt like he was getting further and further out of reach with every passing minute and she was helpless to prevent it. The gate addresses McKay had gathered didn't make her feel any better. It would be nearly impossible to find him that way.

Elizabeth was waiting as they came back through the stargate. She was wringing her hands anxiously, and her eyes flickered over all of their glum faces as the marines filed past her. "Anything?" she asked as Teyla, Kai, McKay, and Ronon all stopped in front of her. She flinched when she met Kai's emotionless gaze. Elizabeth didn't understand how she could claim to care about Sheppard and yet seem to feel nothing when he was missing.

"There was no sign of Colonel Sheppard or our attackers," Teyla reported drawing Elizabeth's attention off of Kai.

"They covered their tracks well," Ronon confirmed.

"There's a good chance he was taken off world, so I gathered the last fifty or so gate addresses that were dialed," McKay said holding up his tablet.

"That should be helpful," Elizabeth said with a nod. Her eyes flickered once more to Kai, but the other woman's hard expression made her uncomfortable and she looked back at McKay "Since the transmission which summoned us to the planet was sent using a code we gave to the Genii, that should be our starting point."

Anger shot through Kai as she thought about the Genii. Supposedly they were currently their allies, but she had never and would never trust them. Kai's eyes glittered with determination and she nodded. It was obvious the Genii were responsible and she was glad Elizabeth had realized they would need to confront them. "When do we leave?" she asked tightly.

McKay looked back and forth between them in disbelief. "What are you going to do, just ask the Genii if one of them took Sheppard?" McKay asked sarcastically.

The Stargate activated behind them. "Yes," Weir said simply. "I am."

McKay looked back at the gate. "So is this-?"

"Yes, it is," she confirmed and she turned to meet their guests.

Kai was impressed that Elizabeth would be so forward with the Genii. In her experience Elizabeth usually was more diplomatic. Kai turned around and stepped up next to Weir clasping her hands behind her back. Her entire body was thrumming with the need for action but emotion wouldn't help now. Summoning every ounce of training the Mortii had given her she forced her personal feelings down so she could focus on solving the problem and getting John back.

"Incoming wormhole," Chuck called from up in the control room. "We are receiving the new identification code."

"Security teams stand by," Elizabeth instructed. The marines stepped up to form a half circle around the Stargate with their guns in their hands. Ronon took a position on the opposite side of Weir from Kai so when the Genii stepped through the gate the first thing they would see would be their leader flanked by the Mortii and Satedan.
