The real Ford had given up trying to escape the cave. He tried to make a signal to be seen, but he was unsure of how the Herkhem would react to finding him, or if his double would find him. Also, he couldn't find anything useful. As Ford was sitting, waiting for something, he heard footsteps. He looked through small holes in the pile of rocks trapping him, and he saw Major Sheppard heading straight towards him.

"Major Sheppard!" Ford called out. Sheppard looked at him, and turned into an insect. Ford stared in shock as the insect flew in to the other side and turned into a perfect copy of him. Ford realized that his double could change shapes. He was about to attack his double when the imposter turned into a large, furry, bear like creature with seven inch claws that made Ford decide not to attack.The beast pushed enough rocks aside so that Ford could get out. It then turned into Ford and drew out one of the guns it had stolen from Atlantis. Ford reached for his own weapon, but he remembered that it was not there.

The imposter smirked. "I'll bring you back to your city before I annihilate the Herkhem. And you tell your people that if they come, they will be killed too. My weapons will destroy all life on the entire planet. It will take nearly a hundred years for any life to develop. Just like the planet where I hitched a ride. My people used to share that planet with the Herkhem,but they were too paranoid they were constantly thinking thatwe were going to kill them all. So they declared war, and we built our weapons. During the war, they decided to evacuate. But we had evacuated first, disguised as them. I was the only one left. I had volunteered for this mission. I set the weapon off that destroyed all life on the planet. I had changed into a non living object, so I survived. I was to wait on that planet as a rock until the rest of my people came, and then we would have the entire planet for ourselves. When it was safe, you came along, so I hitched a ride with you.I will destroy the Herkhem disguised asyou,sowhatever of them escapewill think that you were involved.They will wipe you out beforeattacking us. But we plan on you weakening them somewhat, so we willbe stronger, and takeout what's left of them for good.Now, it's time to go. Get moving." The imposter, with the real Ford ahead at gunpoint, exited the cave an headed toward the gate.

Teyla had her team prepared and was ready to go through the gate to the Herkem's planet. She had gathered seven people that were completely willing to put themselves in danger. Once everyone was armed and ready, the gate was activated, and they went through. When they were on the planet, they saw two Fords heading towards them. One of them had a gun pointed at the other.
