Teyla Emmagan introduced the expedition to the Genii as potential trading partners, unaware of their true nature as a military power. When Dr. Rodney McKay and Major John Sheppard discovered their secret, a tentative alliance formed, as the expedition had supplies and technical expertise which the Genii lacked. The two groups held a joint operation to raid a Wraith Hive ship for data concerning their fleet movements. During the raid, Tyrus was captured by the Wraith, having alerted them by killing a cocooned human who was making too much noise. Teyla was unable to save him, and thus Cowen, leader of the Genii, blamed her for his loss. He tried to force Sheppard to surrender his supplies and Puddle Jumper, but Sheppard had arranged for two more Jumpers to lie in wait, turning the tables on Cowen. He took the stolen Wraith data from Cowen as payment for the effort they expended on the mission, which Cowen took as an act of war. (SGA: \"Underground\")"@en .
