She nods and squeezes her radio. "This is Teyla we have secured Ford and are on our way back."

"This is Lorne, that's the best news I've heard all day. McKay just made it back too. Somehow he managed to get away from Ford."

"Acknowledged, Teyla out."

"Well, everything seems to be working out."

"Wraith'll still be coming you should call your doctor."

"That's a good point."

"Major Lorne, this is Teyla can you dial the gate and patch us through to Doctor Weir please?"

"Roger that I'll get right on it."

And after the gate is dialed and some initial back and forth:

"Sheppard! It's good to hear from you. What's your status, is everything all right?" 

Teyla hold out the radio so Sheppard can talk without needing extra hands.

"We got Ford there were some complications along the way though. We've got two friendlies with us but one of them has a wraith tracker implanted in them. We'll send Ford through as soon as we can but we need Carson here to get the tracking device out of our new friend."

"A wraith tracking device? What are they tracking him for? Is there any danger of encountering more wraith in the meantime, I don't want to risk Carson in a firefight with the wraith if I don't have to." 

"They're hunting him, I don't think the wraith have been kind enough to explain why. He says it's a matter of when not if they'll show up again. He helped us grab Ford though so I'd like to return the favor if we can."

"Understood, I think I'd like us to return that favor too, I'll let him know we need him in a moment. Are there wraith forces in orbit right now, or are they only likely to come through the gate?" 

"They come through the ring."

"Our friend says they come through the gate. We haven't seen any evidence of more Wraith being on planet currently so I think if we dial out before the surgery starts and keep the wormhole open until we get everyone off-world we should be safe."

"That sounds like a good idea. I'll let Carson know he's needed and send him through with whatever he needs shortly. Make sure you come back the moment the surgery is done and the tracker is removed." 

"We haven't figured out if our friends are coming back with us yet so we might dial a waypoint but we'll be through the gate as soon as the tracker's out."

"Good call. I hope to see you all safe and sound soon. Weir out." 

"So, what do you think? We're trying to keep our base a secret so if you do come back with us we'd prefer you stick around until we know you a little better. If you're not comfortable with that as I said we can send you to another uninhabitabited world and part ways. We can even give you an address for somewhere we visit regularly if you want to find us again."

Ronon looks to Jenna. "I wanna visit Sateda; doesn't have to be right away though."

Sateda? Oh is that "is that, um, where you came from?" she asks, trying to be considerate of good memories and awful feelings and things that he probably has about wraith capturing and eating people in the streets or something. Jenna shudders a little as the image springs into her own mind she still has no idea what the whole life force feeding thing looks like (do they just open their mouths wide like a snake and then the soul comes out of the poor victim's mouth and then the wraith eats it no someone said something about a drug that's what happened to Aiden so maybe they're running around and injecting people with syringes while people scream and panic and maybe she should stop thinking about this now) but it's probably not pretty. 

"Yeah, haven't been back or met anyone who knew what happened after I got taken."

"Why not go back?" Jenna asks, slightly confused. "At the very least there might be people who care about you and want to know that you're okay, right, even if you don't want to put your friends in danger, right?"

"Wasn't safe before, not with the tracker. After it's gone I want to but it doesn't have to be right away."
