"Have we checked for smoke and mirrors?" 
Sean resisted the temptation to ask anything.  Instead, he punched up the readouts of the probe Hemux had already sent out on his console.  It told him what he needed to know.  It was as if nothing special had ever been there.  Certain, it didn't seem that the RUTLEDGE had ever been there.
