Evan sits in the conference room, Walker sitting next to him, having just finished his report of what the young woman told them to Elizabeth, Sheppard, McKay, Ronon and Teyla. Everyone sits quietly, even McKay, which surprises Evan, processing what he just told them, until Sheppard breaks the silence.
-"How reliable do you think this information is?"
-"She seemed genuinely scared to be talking to us and as soon as she heard a noise, she panicked and took off running. So, I'd say pretty reliable, Sir."
-"Teyla, have you ever heard of the Genii taking people from other planets?" - Elizabeth asks.
-"At one point, there were rumors, but they were quickly forgotten. At the time the Genii were still seen as simple farmers. Because of it, no one ever truly believed they were capable of such a thing."
-"Yeah, well, they probably changed that when we exposed them for what they truly are." - McKay scoffs.
-"That is true. Maybe now they are somewhat more open with their actions because of it." - Teyla nods.
The room falls silent again, Elizabeth deep in thought, going through what Evan, Teyla and McKay just said, her eyes locked on the table. Eventually, she looks back at the people sitting around the table.
-"We need to keep an eye out when our teams go off-world. If they encounter the Genii, they can try and protect the locals, but not at the expense of their own safety. At least until we can come up with a better plan. We can also start warning our allies about the threat the Genii now pose. Maybe if they see how committed we are to their safety, they will start talking and someone might come forward with more information."
Elizabeth looks at each and everyone of them, Sheppard nodding at her statement, before turning to Evan and Walker and sending them to the infirmary to get checked out.
Evan and Walker nod and excuse themselves from the conference room, Evan thinking that the Genii are becoming even more dangerous than before and right now they need to use their heads in this, otherwise there's going to be a lot of injuries for Lara to treat.
