"This is what Destiny intended from the moment it entered the star system." "That ship is the best chance we have of getting home." "Are we done?" "We'll never be done." "You shouldn't have left him on the planet." "You think I don't know that?" "Everyone thinks we're safe." "They think that they'll never find us again." "Why did you take one of our people prisoner?" "We're not safe, are we?" " They're coming!" " Who's coming?" "Lucian alliance." "They're coming to take Destiny." "There's only one way this is going to end" "If we wait." "I'm not surrendering this ship." "I've managed to find a clue which may give us control of this ship" "Once and for all." "It's the number of chromosomes in human DNA." "All we have to do now is run through the variations." "I was never your conscience, Nicholas." "I haven't forgotten you, Gloria." "There can only be one commander," "And kiva's dead." "What are we doing to get the ship back?" "They're going to kill me." "I thought you were going to get some sleep." "Yeah, so did I." "What's going on here, then?" "Some sort of crash." "The interface is frozen." "Yeah?" "Why didn't you call me?" "Well, I was going to try a restart first." "That's fixed it in the past." "What did you just do?" "Seems I fixed the problem." "Yeah, I can see that." "How?" "Good night, Dr. Park." "Glad to see you have everything well in hand." "Wait, where are you going?" "For a walk." "You get into trouble, next time, call me." "You're not going to tell anyone," "Are you?" "Gloria." "Your program finally worked." "Unlocked the master code." "You found the keys" "To controlling all of Destiny's systems." "Everything..." "And you're not going to tell anyone..." "Are you?" "Ancient legend said the address led to great understanding." "It could make you as powerful as the gods." "Which gods?" "Don't ask me." "I assume it meant god-like power." "Like the ascended ancients." "If you could control time and space..." "Wait, you think that Destiny is capable of that?" "I don't know." "That's what the legend said." "You asked me" "Why the Lucian alliance wanted the ship so badly." "Why are you here?" "I'm trying to understand your perspective." "You really want me to go over" "The last 12 or 13 years?" "The how and the why of the Lucian alliance?" "They're warlords." "On my home planet," "They would burn our farms so we had nothing to eat" "But the food they supplied." "They told our teachers what to teach." "Children were given weapons" "And trained to fight." "Two years ago," "I was taken by a gang at gunpoint" "And told if I didn't join the alliance guard," "My family was going to be murdered." "So you're saying" "That you had no choice in any of this?" "We're not getting enough food." "None of us are." "We haven't been able to replenish our supplies" "In some time." "You're saying we could all starve?" "Yes." "What are you going to do with us?" "You can't keep us locked in that hold forever." "That hasn't been determined yet." "Colonel Young..." "He's going to make that decision?" "I will have a say." "Some of us have been co-operative." "Yes, you have." "There is more we can do." "There are those among us who are no danger to you." "Please..." "Give us a chance to prove it to you." "What are they going to do with us?" "They didn't tell me anything." "I'm a traitor." "You know Young." "What will he do?" "I used to know him." "Trust me, he's changed." "You've got to be kidding me." "It's hardly worth sitting down." "Yeah, maybe we shouldn't be" "Giving our rations to the enemy." "They're human beings." "They have rights." "How we treat prisoners of war" "Says everything about us as a moral and civil society." "Which pamphlet did you get that from?" "It's what I believe." "I don't care how secure they are." "I can't sleep knowing" "There's a room full of people on this ship" "Who would kill me first chance they got." "You know, HR was my job on Icarus." "And psych evals are T.J.'s responsibility." "She's going to need some time." "It's going to be hard enough for her to fulfill her duties as medic." "Great." "Fine." "Thanks." "The loa reports" "Our conflict with the Lucian alliance" "In the milky way" "Is escalating." "Intel suggests" "They may be planning an attack on earth." "Have you learned anything from the prisoners?" "Not yet." "It would help if I could reassure them" "That we're not just" "Going to pump them for information" "And then dump them on the next planet." "Really?" "Well, they dumped us on a planet to die." "Is everyone on board willing to starve for them?" "We haven't come to that point yet..." "How ugly" "Are you willing to let this get, Camile?" "I'm just asking" "Because I don't think this has anything to do with" "The proper treatment of p.O.W.S, and you know it." "They tried to kill us," "And we do not have the capability" "To hold onto these prisoners over the long haul." "They're not all dangerous." "If you would just read my report..." ""I was just following orders"" "Is a claim that I've heard before." "People will say anything" "To save themselves, Camile." "So we're just going to leave them" "On the next viable planet and then wash our hands of it?" "Let's hope we find a viable planet." "You thought this was going to be easier, didn't you?" "You thought all you'd need to do" "Was turn the key." "This ship," "Its systems were designed to be run by an entire crew." "Well, you have a crew." "Yeah, a crew that knows what they're doing." "This is what you wanted." "You know, the ancients..." "They never intended Destiny to operate on its own." "They were supposed to come here," "In person." "There was a point to this mission." "There had to be." "And yet, the first thing you did" "Was turn the autopilot system back on." "Until I can be sure I know how to use each function," "I wouldn't want to stop accidentally" "In range of another binary pulsar, would I?" "Good plan." "You see, right now," "I'm trying to understand" "Why Destiny stops at some planets and not others." "Maybe they're just rest stops," "Designed to let people get out, stretch their legs," "Smell the roses," "But in the grand scheme of Destiny's greater mission..." "Not very important." "Certainly environments can change significantly" "Through the years," "Become dangerous, even." "But that would mean Destiny's got" "Some kind of real-time subspace link to the gates," "And look here," "This planet we're approaching," "Different classification entirely..." "Not merely locked out," "But it seems to be non-functional." "So it seems." "So very helpful." "Do you remember" "The long walks we used to take" "In the gardens back home?" "Wherever we were," "We'd always find a quiet place to call our own..." "That's it." "We need food now." "This planet we're approaching" "Should be rich in plant life." "A big red X" "Generally means "danger," "Don't go there,"" "Doesn't it?" "Is this your only purpose, to question my actions?" "So, what are you going to do?" "Oh, well, I'll take that as a yes, then." "There has to be a reason the Destiny dropped out." "There is." "Where have you been?" "Busy." "We're in range of a planet" "That looks like it may have food and water." "Riley says there are no gates." "Shuttle range." "Wow, look at that." "Well, how does Destiny have data" "On a planet with no gate on it?" "Well, there is a gate on it." "It appears to be non-functioning." "So Destiny just happened to drop out" "Close enough for us to use the shuttle?" "That's convenient..." "Well, it's not magic." "As I've been doing all along," "I've been telling Destiny any way I can" "How short of resources we are." "Well, we'll send a team." "Okay, I suggest we land close to the gate," "Try and determine why it's not working," "Maybe even repair it." "Shuttle trip will take just under an hour." "Less than seven hours total is not much time." "However, if we can get the gate operational," "We'll be able to transport a lot more food and water" "Than the shuttle." "Two gates cannot dial each other" "In this close a proximity." "This planet may well be in range" "The next time we drop out of FTL." "If we can get the gate active," "We might be able to dial back down the line." "You want to go?" "No, no, I should stay here..." "Oh, what's more important right now..." "Well, there's a number of systems" "That've been malfunctioning of late." "I'm working in those, actually." "Sir." "T.J." "I'm almost ready to go." "Just packing up my kit." "You..." "You sure?" "Well, I'll admit I'm not 100%," "But we're low on medicinals," "And I know we'll only be there a few hours," "So I should at least take a look around." "I'll take it easy." "Yeah." "Yeah, I just..." "I wanted to make sure you're..." "You're okay." "Good luck down there." "Thanks." "Dr. Rush has pinpointed" "The stargate's position on the surface," "And I've plotted a course." "Colonel Young, this is Scott." "All systems are go." "We are ready for take-off." "Go ahead, Lieutenant." "Roger that." "I'm worried about you, Nicholas." "Yeah, so am I." "I've got work to do," "And I can't seem to leave myself alone." "You're missing things." "Dr. Franklin." "It's too much for one person." "I don't care how smart you are." "Okay, so tell me." "What am I missing?" "Well, for one," "The data on the planet." "It's extensive." "What about it?" "You didn't notice the volcanic activity?" "The atmospheric super-rotation?" "A few minutes away now." "It'll be fine." "They'll be fine." "You based your calculation" "On optimal structural integrity." "I based it on the specs in the database." "Which don't account for flaws" "That were developed over, I don't know," "Say, a million-plus years." "Lieutenant Scott." "This is Dr. Rush." "Do you read?" "Yeah, I hear you." "Go ahead." "You're about to enter an area of atmospheric super-rotation." "Okay..." "What does that mean?" "Well, I've done some calculations," "And you will experience some..." "Excessive turbulence, but nothing the shuttle wasn't built to handle." "Okay, thanks for the heads-up." "All right, you heard the man." "Hang on, it could be a little bit bumpy." "Not so bad." "All right, hang on, guys, hang on!" "Lieutenant Scott, do you hear me?" "Lieutenant Scott, can you hear me?" "Yeah." "Loud and clear." "We made it." "Glad to hear it." "Check back in once you've landed." "Will do." "Scott out." " Hang on!" " What's going on?" "Just lost power!" "Half of the systems are down." "Come on, come on..." "You've got to give me something." "Come on, come on..." " Pull up!" " Can't!" "T.J.?" "Yeah." "Is anyone hurt?" "Over here." "Yeah." "You okay?" "Yeah." "He's got a pulse." "Everyone else okay?" " Yup." " Yup." "Dunning, you all right?" "Yeah." "Just relax." "It's okay, just relax." "Relax..." "I can't move." "Okay, don't try." "Now, just..." "Tell me where it hurts." "It doesn't hurt." "I can't feel my legs at all." "Where's Rush?" "No idea." "I called him." "This is Young." "Go ahead, Lieutenant." "Still not sure what happened, sir." "Like Rush said," "It was a pretty rough ride through the atmosphere..." "Whoa, what do you mean, "like Rush said"?" "He called to warn us on the ship's comm," "But it seemed like we made it through fine." "Then shortly after, I lost flight control." "Injuries?" "Riley's legs are pinned for now." "T.J.'s working on him." "Everyone else is fine." "Right now we're trying to get the back door open." "We took a lot of damage, sir." "One of the windows is gone." "Bottom line," "I don't think we're going to be flying out of here." "Destiny is going to jump in six hours." "And we can't stop it." "Lieutenant, this is Rush." "You need to find the gate and get it operational." "Hopefully, the next time Destiny drops out," "We'll still be in range." "All right, copy that." "I'll check back in 30 minutes." "All right, you have a decent idea" "Which direction to go to find the gate?" "We'll figure it out." "Hey, how's Riley?" "I don't know." "All right, lt," "You take Eli, volker, and Greer." "Okay, let's go." "He's wedged in there pretty good." "I'm not sure we should be trying to move him anyway." "We're going to have to eventually." "I'm sure you're thinking" "This probably wouldn't have happened" "Had we not been so desperate" "For food and water." "That doesn't matter now." "I reported to the loa." "I don't care." "They insist that you keep the prisoners on board..." " Camile, I don't care." " Colonel..." "We need backup in the prisoners' hold" "Imuediately!" "Stand down!" "Back up against the wall!" "Now!" "Hold it right there!" "Break it up!" "Grab his arm!" "Stand down now!" "Lieutenant!" "Sergeant!" "Everett!" "I don't see anything!" "I've got no addresses coming up." "Well, this is where it should be." "You sure?" "No, if I was sure, there would be a gate here." "Okay, stop, stop, stop!" "I'll try and reach in there" "And see if I can feel anything." "Okay?" "Lift it up." "T.J., we can't hold this..." "Okay!" "His leg's stuck pretty good." "I think the pressure's actually helping" "Cut off circulation to a wound." "Okay." "Destiny just jumped." "This is not good." "Oh, try not to panic." "Experience tells me" "That this is a very good time" "To panic." "What are the odds it will still be in range" "Next time it drops out?" "It's impossible to know." "I found it." "The gate?" "You can see it from there?" "Where?" "I don't see it." "Look down." "You need to sleep or you're just going to make more mistakes." "You know, it would be easier if you would actually help." "What makes you think I can?" "Can I speak to Franklin?" "Who?" "One of two things is happening here." "Either I'm..." "I'm losing my mind," "Or you and Dr. Franklin" "Are somehow being manifested by the ship" "In order to communicate with me." "Now, he tends to be a little bit more helpful when it comes to technical matters." "Let's see." "What are you trying to do?" "Figure out how to control how long Destiny stops" "When it drops out of FTL." "Okay..." "Can't help you with that, sorry." "Right." "I am losing my mind, then." "There don't seem to be any stargates coming up" "In Destiny's immediate path." "Now, I'll have to stop this ship soon," "Or we're going to be out of range" "Of the planet the team's stranded on." "But with no other gates in range," "You don't know how to explain to everyone else" "Why the ship has stopped." "Exactly." "I can't just keep dropping in and out of FTL." "I'm going to damage the drives permanently." "They have to run for a minimum of four hours" "Each time they're activated," "Which means..." "Next time I drop out," "I've got one last shot at this." "Why don't you just tell the truth?" "Ask for help?" "No..." "No, I can't." "Because Colonel Young can't be trusted?" "He... he let the Lucian alliance take over this ship." "The man is mentally unstable." "And he's getting wse all the time." "He nearly just killed a man." "Your negligence" "Caused the shuttle to crash." "The situation is desperate because of him." "He's not fit to lead this mission." "Hey..." "How's Riley?" "He's stuck pretty good." "He's..." "He's losing a lot of blood." "There's no way to get him free?" "T.J. Thinks the pressure from the wreckage" "Is what's keeping him from bleeding out." "There's got to be something we can do." "Let's get this gate uncovered." "Are you in any pain?" "I'm okay." "You ever been in this situation before?" "Stuck on an alien planet" "After a shuttle crash?" "No, this one's a first for me." "I meant" "Having to tend to someone that you knew was going to die." "Yeah." "I have." "Sounds crazy," "But I came so close lately," "With the explosion," "And then getting shot..." "I kind of figured that maybe it just wasn't my time." "I'm not all that spiritual, but my mother's pretty religious." "Anglican." "She'd be praying for me right now if she knew." "My dad..." "He always said it was stupid," "But he always went to church with her." "I won't leave you if it..." "If it comes to it." "Do you believe in anything?" "God?" "The afterlife?" "I don't know." "Since we've been here, we've seen..." "Some incredible things." "We know that there's so much we don't understand..." "Beings more powerful than us..." "Can I..." "Tell you something that I haven't told anyone?" "Sure." "Who am I going to tell, right?" "Remember that planet that we stopped at" "That we thought was created by aliens?" "Yeah." "I know this sounds crazy," "But I went back there." "I don't know if it was a dream," "A vision maybe." "They said that they came and got me." "They have my baby," "And she's safe there." "Do you believe that?" "It felt real," "And I don't know how to explain it." "I want it to be possible." "It's just that little..." "Little bit of hope..." "It makes things bearable," "So..." "So I let it live." "I want to apologize for my people's behavior." "Next viable planet we stop at," "You're all going to be left there," "And I expect co-operation until such time," "Or appropriate force will be used" "To maintain order." "You know, I think" "I remember reading somewhere" "Close enough to a stargate" "Can detonate the super-conductive material that it's made of." "The resulting explosion can take a chunk out of a planet." "Well, it's not going to..." "It's not going to be that... that big." "You're sure?" "We don't have much of a choice, do we?" "It could take weeks to dig this thing out." "Hopefully, the blast won't damage the gate." "Do you want me to flip the switch or not?" "Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, sure..." "I'm flipping the switch." "No, flip it already." "Fire in the hole!" "That was pretty big." "I used the communication stones." "Okay." "We'll just skip over the fact that I didn't authorize that." "I have a short list." "Based on intel provided by both myself and Camile Wray," "You are being ordered" "To keep a select number of Lucian alliance on board" "Who may prove valuable." "And if I don't," "I assume you're going to tell me" "That you've been ordered to relieve me of my command." "You think you've earned the trust" "Of the men and women on this ship" "Enough for them to follow you?" "Military personnel are still in the service" "Of stargate command" "Bnd expected to follow orders." "Rush, this is Young." "Where are you?" "It's less than three hours." "The address to the planet came up," "But it's still locked out." "The strange thing is" "That there are no other planets in range." "Nothing." "Why'd we drop out?" "Exactly." "It doesn't make sense." "Suggestions?" "Try to bypass the lock-out." "Dial anyway." "It's a long shot." "It's all we got." "Rush, we're headed to the gate room." "Where have you been?" "Engine control room." "Doing what?" "Well, the FTL drive's still suffering some effects" "From the pulsar radiation," "Stopping at shorter intervals now," "But regardss of whether" "We're in range of a planet or not." "You feel that?" "Hey, science guys," "This thing is shaking." "Someone's trying to dial in." "Oh, clear the event horizon." "The address is here." "We've got Destiny!" "Shaking's stopped." "Everyone, back away." "I'm going to try to dial them." "It's working." "It's working!" "Destiny, this is Scott." "Permission to come aboard." "Permission granted." "Glad to see you guys are okay." "Where are the others?" "Riley's not going to make it, sir." "Sir." "Sir, I'm not just going to let him die alone." "Can you give me a minute?" "Yeah." "Thanks." "Sorry, sir." "You are a fine soldier," "A good man." "None of this is your fault." "You know that." "Don't stay on my account." "Just make them leave." "I don't want anyone to risk being stuck here." "I'm not going to be around that much longer." "What can I tell your family?" "Nothing really seems like enough." "How long do you think he'll last?" "I don't know." "How much time until Destiny jumps?" "No, we're good." "We're fine." "I don't want you to worry, okay?" "I'd ask for your gun," "But I don't want them to blame you." "Sir..." "Please." "I'm in pain." "I'll get T.J." "No..." "No!" "Please." "He's gone." "You know..." "You'd figure being stranded on this ship" "In the middle of nowhere" "With a bunch of strangers" "Would be the problem," "But that..." "that isn't it exactly." "To Riley!" "It's not so much being out here" "As it is not being there." "For the birthdays, the weddings," "The funerals..." "Simple things" "Like just taking your nephew to school" "On his first day," "Or even taking the dog for a walk." "You know, just not..." "Not being there." "There was nothing that could be done for Riley." "Stalling Destiny any longer wouldn't have helped him." "I know." "Well, you think I don't know?" "All of this is my fault." "I was trying to save lives..." "All of our lives, not just my own." "This database" "Just confirms what I knew all along." "This ship was named "Destiny"" "For a reason." "It must be like Rush said..." "Another short jump" "Because of the radiation effect." "Something just came up on sensors." "This is Rush." "Meet me in the observation deck." "I heard the radio chatter." "What's going on?" "There's an object out there." "It's just coming into range." "Well, what is it?" "We're not sure, but we're about to find out." "We're headed straight for it."
