Some of the answers would be easy ones- If they could find a way to harness it as a weapon, it would be highly useful. Or perhaps they simply didn't know what it did until it was too late. But for some reason Ashley can't put her finger on, the answers don't seem right.It occurs to her that this device and the NID connection is probably why Major Davis was here. She knows that he normally doesn't spend most of his time on base, only becoming involved when something requires the attention of the Pentagon.As Ashley continues to write away at her report, the idea of them releasing prisoners continues to nag at her. There is something about it that doesn't seem to make sense. The question nags at her for most of the evening as she writes her report. As she's nearing the completion of the data parts, Ashley received a new email message from Major Carter."I'm sorry, but it looks like I'm probably not going to be able to get back this evening. I ended up taking a bit too long, and now I've got to finish up my report on theories for  disrupting the electromagnetic fields of the replicators before a briefing in a few hours. Keep me in the loop on this though, OK?" Sitting back from the laptop a little, a thought will strike Ashley. If they were freeing prisoners, why would they have to search for them? The tone of his message implies that they're almost looking for the prisoners, like they were capturing them.In that light, the role of the device starts to make some sense. Maybe it was some form of location device, or something for keeping them safe. Maybe they were addicted to it's radiation in small doses, or maybe the prisoners had build up a tolerance to it. After all, the SGC report mentioned NID bodies- It didn't say anything about bodies of prisoners. Ashley will save a draft version of her report, noticing that the clock has turned to 02:16. She has duties to attend to in the morning.</blockquote>
