Stargate Universe

Destiny...

The design is clearly ancient,

launched hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Where the hell are we?

Several billion light years from home.

We're on a ship,

but we have no idea where we are

in relation to Earth.

This ship could be the most important discovery

mankind has made since the Stargate itself.

These are the wrong people

in the wrong place.

We've got a lot of wounded.

We need to get home.

We barely have enough power

to operate the main systems.

This ship

simply doesn't have the capability to dial Earth.

Even if we can get the life support working,

we don't have much food and water.

Then go get some.

Little boys playing soldier.

Well, I'm sorry, I've no interest in playing that game...

I'm not playing anything,

I'm trying to save the lives of everyone aboard that ship.

We do have power issues to be aware of.

If I wasn't being clear, I was giving you an order.

Dr. Rush...

Dr. Rush, I was wondering if...

Not now!

What are you doing?

Good morning.

Colonel young asked us to figure out how...

I turned these systems off for a reason.

They need to stay off!

Don't know whether the ship has electrolyzed it

to produce oxygen,

but you can see there's not much left in there.

We did some calculations

based on our estimates of the water depth

and tank dimensions.

And the winner is?

Just over 90,000 liters.

91,046.

Ish.

Go, math boy.

Sounds like a lot.

It wouldn't fill a backyard swimming pool.

Still, it's enough to loosen the rationing restrictions,

isn't it?

Camile, I think I know where you're going with this,

and believe me when I say

that I, too, could use a shower.

I don't think the showers use water.

They just spray a sort of mist that you kind of stand in,

and it sorta beads up...

There's one in a compartment off the crew quarters.

How do you know all that if you haven't tried it?

How do you know I haven't tried it?

Oh, we know.

Thank you, Lieutenant Rosegarden.

No, he's right.

You're worse than he is.

Wow, you can tell them apart?

We also identified a recycling system

for liquid waste,

so once we get that system up and running...

Okay, folks, let's have a better day than yesterday.

Thank you.

Your ration, sir.

Thank you.

I ordered you here 20 minutes ago.

I've been working.

Throughout the night, actually,

trying to find out why our power reserves are so low.

I'm quite concerned, and so should you be.

Okay, well, how bad is it?

I haven't been able to access

Any of the main systems yet, so I don't know.

You look exhausted.

Maybe you should take a break.

Get the information we need

and make some informed decisions,

and we report...

Could you please stop people running around

activating every bloody system they can get their hands on?

I will.

That was delicious.

Thank you very much.

That man is a lot of work.

Let's bring in the next one, please.

Doctor, I'm very sorry to bother you.

I know you're busy, but I really need your...

Come on, it doesn't have to be profound.

Just who you are

and... and something you want to say.

Like, hi, I'm Eli Wallace,

I'm 25 years old, I'm currently unemployed,

and just for posterity's sake, I'd like to say,

take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!

That's just an example.

I'm not really going to say that.

Just... just try it. Just say something.

Well, it could be that Rush is just starting a fire,

so he can put it out,

or it could be that he's so far ahead of us

he can see problems that none of us can see.

So, what do you want us to do?

Help him.

The man likes to work alone.

Well, with the way he's been treated,

you can hardly blame him.

I can blame him all day long.

It's pretty hard not to, considering.

This isn't helpful.

Yeah, well, it's the truth.

Well, we're stuck with Rush for now.

Scott is checking out the other shuttle,

seeing if it's operational.

He asked that you two join him when we were done here,

so off you go.

Dismissed.

Please tell me that's everyone.

We still have the question

of what to do with the Senator's body.

Yeah, we'll get to him.

He's not going anywhere.

I'd appreciate a file on everyone

by sometime tomorrow.

Nothing fancy.

My assignment, sir?

Recipes, Becker.

For the love of God, recipes.

2nd Lieutenant Vanessa James.

26.

Air Force Special Forces.

All I have to say is...

I don't want to die out here.

Colonel!

I thought we were done.

There are still dozens of human resources issues

we need to talk about.

Pick one.

The matter of Lieutenant Johansen

resigning her commission.

Consider her reactivated.

Well, I don't know if that's up to...

Up to me? Yeah, it is.

We need a medic.

I don't even know

why she resigned in the first place.

Well, that's none of my business.

Colonel, look what we figured out.

We're calling it a recharging plate.

Uh-huh.

We've tweaked it so it works with Earth technology.

For now, we have to be careful

not to leave them on the plate for too long,

or it fries the battery, but...

not bad, huh?

It's great.

Isn't it?

Turn it off.

Why?

Well, Rush says we have power issues.

We've got all these things to recharge.

But as soon as he gives the go-ahead,

you kids can go crazy.

For now, help me pass the word

to stop pushing buttons.

It's cool, guys. This one's secure.

You think you can fly this thing, man?

I can fly an F-302.

Yeah, in a simulator.

This is a real spaceship, man.

Yes, it is.

So...

pretty screwed up, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, pretty screwed up.

You think they're going to work it out?

We're pretty freakin' far from home, man,

I don't know.

Not today.

You should have shipped out weeks ago, T.J.

It's not right.

It ain't right at all.

Yeah, well...

I'm here, so what do you want us to do?

Help me figure out what kind of bird we got here.

I just radioed Brody to come down,

help translate the controls.

Took me half an hour

just to find the "on" switch.

Maybe we can take a little joyride, huh?

Oh, joy.

You don't have to follow me around.

What do you mean?

I mean that I'm okay.

Thank God you said something,
