Jack tapped his comms, checking in with Owen and Suzie as he scoured the dilapidated street. 'Any luck yet?'
'Would help if we knew what we were looking for,' Owen grumbled.
'Look, it's supposed to be big,' Jack said. 'I doubt we could miss it.' At least that's what Tosh had told him, based on the energy signature.
'Yeah, well...' Owen's voice trailed off as Jack heard a more distant voice call out "over here!" recognizing it as Suzie's.
'You found it?' Jack asked.
'Give us a tic,' Owen complained. 'She's half a street away,' he said between jogging footfalls. 'Oh yeah, we've found it alright. Bloody thing is stuck on the roof of some poor sod's car.'
'What is it?'
'Small structure of some kind,' Owen said, appraising the object. 'About the size of a cubby house, but clearly alien. Species of midget aliens?'
'It's possible. There's plenty of lifeforms out there a lot smaller than us. No one inside?'
'Nope. Oh, and it's holy.'
'You got all that just from looking at it? What gave it away as a religious building?'
'Not holy like religious. Holey. As in, like Swiss cheese. Wherever it comes from clearly doesn't rain.'
