Stargate Universe: Continuation

Episode One: Abducted

Part 1: Awakening

Suddenly, Eli returned to consciousness. He could feel the Colonel next to him and they both fell out of the stasis chamber. For a few moments, Eli could not move. Then, he finally issued a groan, his vision sharpened and he was able to move his legs.

He stood up, and looked next to him, the Colonel wasn't getting up. Eli got on his knees and shook him saying, "Hey, get up."

When the colonel didn't respond, Eli checked his pulse. He was alive; but he was probably just suffering the effect of getting in so soon after getting out of the stasis chamber. Eli on the other hand was up, and he was rubbing his head with gusto, for it felt like someone had hit it with a frying pan.

Then, something came to him. All of the stasis pods were commanded to open at the moment Destiny dropped out of FTL near a planet with a gate on it. But as far as Eli could see, he and the Colonel were the only ones that had been awakened.

Oh no, that can only mean something bad. Eli thought. He shook the colonel again, and he issued a groan.

"Hey, welcome back to the world of the living." Eli said as he helped Young stand up.

"Ugh... thanks. I can assume I was in a lot longer than last time; that was a pretty harsh effect." Young said.

"Yea, that's what I'm thinking." Eli said. "Extended time in the stasis chamber is bound to cause some negative effects. But what's bothering me is that it's looking like we're the only one's Destiny has woken up."

"Why?" Young asked as he stood up straight and let go of Eli.

"I don't know, I would need to check it out in the control room." Eli said. "Ginn!"

"Who are you talking to?" Young asked.

"I released Ginn from Quarantine, she helped me come up with the solution I needed." Eli said.

"I don't need to know anymore. Has she appeared yet?" Young said.

"No… and that makes me more worried." Eli said.

"Just go ahead to the control room then and see what the hell is going on. I'll be right behind you."

"Okay, I'll see you there." Eli replied.

Eli left and ran for the control room. Usually, lights would start coming on automatically, now that power had been restored. But, they weren't, and Eli could only think of one reason why.

"Oh, this doesn't look good." Eli said, speeding up as much as he dared. He didn't want to run into a wall after all. He made it to the control room moments later. He went to one of the consoles and pressed the power switch, nothing happened. He pressed it again, same result.

"Damn." Eli said as Colonel Young walked into the room.

"What's wrong?" Young asked, leaning against the wall.

"I can't get this terminal to turn on." Eli said, pressing the button again. This time it came to life. "Aha, there we go."

"Good, now find out what's wrong."

"That's what I'm doing..."

Eli fumbled around with the controls for a few more seconds and came up onto the power readings screen.

"Oh no... Oh no... This is very very bad." Eli said, stepping back from the terminal against the wall.

"What is it?" Colonel Young asked.

"Apparently, either our jump, or the pod activation took more power than expected." Eli said.

"How much time?" Young asked.

"Well, we're at below one percent of our power reserves; I'd say 6 hours or less. Only 4 hours till the pods die and so does everyone in them." Eli said.

"Then we get to the bridge, fly the ship to the nearest star." Young said.

"No, you don't get it. With this level of power reserves, we can't do anything. No Stargate, no sublight engines, no computer projection of Ginn, and soon... no life support."

"One crisis after another. Wasn't Destiny programmed to drop us out near the next planet with a Stargate on it?"

"Yes, but like I said, we can't use the Stargate." Eli said.

"We still have the shuttle." Young said. "We could fly down to the planet and see if we can find anything to supply us some extra power to make it to the star."

Eli started snapping, "That might just work... Let's get to the bridge; it'll be able to tell us where we are."

"I'm right behind you." Young said, and Eli took off at a sprint for the bridge. A few minutes later, they were there. Eli quickly keyed in the code and the bridge opened up. The first thing they saw as they stepped out onto it was the planet directly ahead of them.

"That's our planet." Said Eli amazed. He rushed down to the computer terminals and turned one on after some effort. The first thing he checked was the logs. "Oh boy, we're off schedule."

"What is it?" Young asked.

"That question is starting to frequent, anyways, according to these logs... apparently we dropped out of FTL about eighteen months ago. When our power reserves fell below five percent..." Eli said.

"Then why isn't the power at five percent now?"

"Because power stored in the drives degrades over time not being used, not to mention the small amount of power that is used to sustain us when we're in the stasis pods." Eli said. "Again, anyways, when we dropped out, Destiny used its maneuvering thrusters to put us on a drift course towards the nearest planet with a Stargate. We've been drifting ever since, since we're apparently within range now, it just woke us up..."

"I understand why it only woke up one pod, but why us and not someone else?"

"Because we were the last ones to enter a stasis pod. When the pods start releasing people, it does it in reverse chronological order. It just seems like it's releasing everyone at once because the process is so fast."

"Oh."

"Anyways, I'm going to scan the planet's surface, see if it detects anything useful for power generation..."

Alarms started going off on Eli's screen, it said, Collision Alert.

"Oh no, that's not good." Eli said.

"What now?" Young asked, apparently agitated.

"We're on a collision course with the planet, we'll hit within approximately 8 hours..."

"One crisis after another..." He repeated.

A beep issued from the consoles.

"Haha! Yes." Eli said with elation.

"Finally some good news Eli?" Young asked.

"Yes, the computers have detected Naquadah on the surface of the planet, and I'm not talking about the Stargate."

"What's Naquadah doing there?"

"See, I've never told you this because it was never important before, but on very few planets, usually the first planet encountered in every galaxy, the seed ships drop Naquadah stores with the Stargate. The power generation of this ship, of course don't use Naquadah, but I can rig up a Naquadah generator and interface it with the Destiny's systems."

"Then we'll be able to crank up the engines?"

"Yup, we'll be able to turn them on and guide us to that star over there." Eli said. "It's also good we're leaving, it will buy the ships power reserves an extra four hours. That means that if we don't manage to get what we need in time, it won't matter anyways."

"That's good, let's go." Young said.

"Uh, one more thing." Eli said.

"What is it?" Young said.

"If you're considering the possibility of stopping here if we don't have enough time to save the Destiny... can it. If Destiny collides with the surface of the planet, the resulting explosion will be enough to cause a Nuclear winter... no life on the surface will survive, that includes us."

"I'll keep that in mind, now let's move out."

"Yes... sir..." Eli said and followed him to the shuttle bay.
