Stargate Universe

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 ioa 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
