Oliver waited until everyone was seated before he began speaking, "I've done some checking up on the device I found in Lee's radio. It's a bug."
"A bug?" Mal asked. "Who in the hell would want to bug us?"
"A very advanced bug but essentially a bug. I think it's not only a listening device but it's a locator beacon as well."
Lee groaned. "I think I can guess who it was. This explains how the Alliance seemed to know where we were and what we were up to."
"You're certain about this?" Mal asked Oliver.
"Yes, I'm positive."
"And you didn't think it would be a problem mentioning this in the presence of the bug, now they know that we know about it," Mal pointed out.
Oliver shook his head. "It's not transmitting right now. I think it's out of range but it will probably begin transmitting again when you cross back into the Milky Way."
"Which means for the moment we're not screwed," Lee said cheerfully.
"Yes." Oliver smiled at her.
Mal sat forward and folded his arms on the table. "If the Alliance doesn't know we've found the bug then we can use it to set them up."
"That's a good idea." Oliver grinned at them. "If you can use the bug against them then you can trap them."
Mal took off his radio and slid it across the table. "Van, give him your radio if they've all been bugged then we need to know."
Van slid his radio over to Oliver. "Mal, I doubt yours is bugged, you lost your original radio when you were captured, remember?"
"Check it anyway, just in case. They've gotten their hands on us more than once."
Oliver nodded and scooped up the radios. "I'll check them both."
"All right, if that's all?" He looked at Oliver who nodded. "Then you can get back to your work, Dr. Kain."
"Yes, Colonel." Oliver scurried from the room clutching the radios.
Lee hurried after Oliver. It had taken her over an hour to find him. Atlantis was simply way too big. "Wait up!" There also wasn't much to do. Since the fiasco with the Wraith, SG-1 hadn't accompanied any of the Atlantis teams on missions. Now that Oliver found that bug Mal was attempting to figure out how they could use it against the Alliance, and Van was off badgering the linguists, which left her bored.
He slowed and looked at her. "What?"
"We have some time now, can you show me how to fly a Puddle Jumper?"
"Lee, I have work to do. I'm supposed to be in the lab helping Dr. Fritz with the new ZPM."
"All right, how about after you're done? Please!" she begged.
