"The Replicators," Daniel Jackson points at the screen, "Hit New York, Miami, Houston, and finally San Francisco."

"Oh you're boring them, Daniel." Vala calls from her spot in the corner.

Teyla can't help but think that they are the oddest pairing that she has ever seen. While Daniel looks more like a professor than an FBI Agent, Vala looks as though she belongs on the other side of an interrogation table. Not to mention their personalities seem to clash.

"Vala," he looks as though he's trying to repress his frustration. "I think they might need to know the background—"

"Look," Vala takes the remote from his hand and flips through slides until she lands on one that seems to satisfy her. "Here we go. The Replicators, a group originally made up of six individuals who called themselves one through six. They were later joined by the ones known as Niam and Oberoth." She flips slides. "The original six infiltrated various businesses and corporations, very tech savvy these guys." She flips again.

Daniel steps up, "Then the truly disturbing—they started to impersonate friends and relatives to gain access to peoples' homes in order to gain further information. They would then murder their victims."

"Thanks to Samantha Carter we were able to arrest and convict them."

"But," Vala interjects, "Oberoth remained at large and now appears to have resurfaced."

It seems like hours have gone by and Teyla thinks that she has a good grasp on the case. Daniel approaches her. "I hear that you're helping Cam out on this one?"

"Yes," Teyla responds, not sure where this is going.

Daniel nods, "I heard about your work with the Wraith."

"Yes, I was part of that operation."

"Not many people could have pulled that off. Great work."

"Thank you."

"Can I just ask, why a Homicide Detective? With your resume, you could have gone anywhere."

Teyla just picks up the box of files, "I have my reasons."
