SG-1 and the Odyssey followed a series of clues, albeit fruitlessly, and Daniel crossed off each potential planet on the list. When they had run out of options, Tomin, Ferretti, and the team sans Daniel held a briefing to discuss other potential options while the ship remained cloaked, and the Asgard systems were switched off so as to escape detection by either enemy. Sam said with a sigh,

"It's quite possible that it's in a completely different galaxy… or may have been destroyed completely. I suppose the only good things to come out of all this is the destroying of the homing device and knowing that this Ortus Mallum place hasn't been on any of the planets that we searched."

Ferretti suggested, "Couldn't they have hidden it in another dimension… like Merlin's device?"

Jonas replied, "No… from what, I, ah, understand, most of the Ancients ascended to escape the plague, which means that they were originally like us… like Ayiana."

Just then Daniel entered with a huge piece of paper and he sat down, not looking at anyone as he connected a series of dots. Cam remarked with a smile,

"Boy Jackson, it's all dot-to-dots for you!"

Vala retorted, "He just makes them that way because he likes to draw."

Sam asked, touching Daniel's hand,

"Daniel?"

He looked up at her and smiled briefly as Ferretti remarked,

"Come on, out with Daniel - everyone here but Tomin has the highest security clearance in the United States government."

Daniel gestured towards the paper saying,

"It's a map containing each clue… maybe the clues are pointing to somewhere else as opposed to being the places themselves. We've experienced this before with Merlin's laboratory. Morgan's clues pointed towards the place but didn't explicitly name it… all we have to do is…"

He marked a cross in the centre of the crossed ellipses that he had drawn, and continued,

"… look for a planet right in the middle of the said clues and we should be on the right track… Tomin?"

Tomin glanced at the map and said,

"I am not familiar with that sector of the galaxy, but I do know where it is."

Cam remarked as he smiled slightly at Daniel,

"I'll bet this is the one."

Sam retorted with a grin, "Don't jinx it!"

Ferretti added, "Too right… I wanna go home before my first grey hair!"

Sam remarked good-naturedly,

"First?!"

Smiling, he shook his head slightly at her before saying,

"Ok folks… next stop… the centre of two ellipses. Boy, that sounds odd."

Sam remarked as she ruffled Daniel's hair,

"You should hear Daniel's Welsh."
