[He indicates two spots on the map laid out on one of the monitors. Sure enough, you can see blips where the device was picked up leading in a certain path, but there are points that just have absolutely nothing for far too long, while the rest of the map has pings in a steady pattern.]

It can't be a mistake with the device, because I triple-checked it before he left.
