"Alright, how are we doing this then? I'd like to stay with at least one of you so I know you're not just gonna ambush us and we should go to another world at some point but I can be flexible on everything else."

"I think I'd be most comfortable if we all went back to my people together then. I don't like leaving people behind. That's why we're putting in so much effort to find our friend."

"Okay, I'm keeping the guns for now."

"I can work with that."

Ronon puts their guns around his shoulder and pulls his but keeps it pointed at the ground. "Jenna you can untie them."

When Jenna goes to do so it transpires that they have already untied themselves and were just pretending to be securely tied up.

"They're, um, already untied, somehow." she says, dismayed that she hadn't caught it when it was happening. 

"I guess that's a point in favor of them being trustworthy."

"Thank you for understanding. Your friend already shared your name as Ronon but she did not pass on ours. I am Teyla Emmagan and my teammate is Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard."

"Lieutenant Colonel?"

"It's my military rank."

"Before I was taken by the wraith I was Specialist Ronon Dex. That was a long time ago."

"From before the... culling?" Jenna guesses. "You were in a military too?" (Specialist isn't a rank she's ever heard of before but it certainly could be one especially after John said his so it makes sense for Ronan to say his after.) She's still not sure exactly what cullings are exactly but from Teyla's descriptions earlier (also, wait she was distracted by tigers did Teyla say drain their lifeforce what does that mean does this world have magic after all?) it sounds like the planet was being harvested. For food. Where the food was the people living there. Which is actually just... there are no words. It's awful and terrible and needs to be stopped.

"Not all the wraith sleep between cullings."

"Oh." She had been assuming it was a culling but if in fact it wasn't and was before the cullings when his planet was attacked, apparently... Jenna puts some things together. "How... long have you been running, exactly?" 

"Years, I think. Hard to keep track of time when you keep moving between planets."

Oh. "That's... a long time to be running from evil lifeforce eating" and how does that work again "bad guys. I'm sorry, that's just... that's just awful. I really hope they can get the tracker thing out of you." 

"Our doctor is really good." He picks up his vest slowly and puts it back on. "I'm going to contact our people now." He pauses a few moments to take out his radio. "This is Sheppard. Teyla and I are safe and in the company of probable friendlies we're on our way back to the gate. Be advised that friendlies say more wraith may be inbound."

"Roger that Colonel. This is Lorne. It's good to hear from you. McKay is currently missing. He and I were ambushed and I was stunned.  What's your ETA?"

"How far are we from the gate?"

"About 10 minutes less if we're fast."

"ETA One Zero mikes."

"Acknowledged, Lorne out."

"It's that way." He points.

He visibly considers this then accepts it. "I'll take point then."
