John and Teyla quickly rushed out the office, John indicating to Elizabeth to stay put. Then they ran down the corridor in the direction the noise came from and bumped into Ford. "Sir," he said, "I was just coming to you, one of the guards told me the explosion came from a Generator Room close by."
They made their way to the room and sure enough the signs of an explosion were evident. Smoke and flames poured out the room. Fire crews had just reached the area and began tackling the blaze.
John kept his mouth covered with his hands to prevent himself choking on the smoke. He looked at Ford, who was holding a life signs detector, and snatched it from him.
"It's no good, sir. The Wraith is masking it's location."
Teyla looked at Ford. "The same way it is blocking our radio transmissions?"
"Could be."
John handed it back to him. "This is just great. It's like searching for a needle in a haystack and the lighting sure doesn't help."
"Well, you know what they say about Earth workmanship."
"Very funny, Ford."
"Sorry, sir."
"There's got to be away to track this Wraith down."
Just then Teyla came up with an idea. Something Rodney said earlier reminded her, "John what about Sedge? Rodney believes she can probably sense the Wraith coming before we can even hear him."
Ford interrupted her, "Plus, dogs have a good sense of smell."
John looked at each of them in turn and then waved his fingers at them. "That could work. Come on, Rodney has Sedge."
