And now the chapter.

"Would someone please tell me why the fuck this goddamn ship has set us on a bloody collision course?" Col. Young exclaimed furiously.

"We don't know." Park and Brody replied, voices slightly raised.

"Not a clue." said Volker, "But Rush would know."

"Dr. Rush has requested he be left alone. Can we deal with this without him?" Young asked.

The general consensus was a no.

Sighing deeply Young picked up his radio.

"Dr Rush. I'm sorry to wake you but we need you in the control room. Urgently!"

No reply.

"Lt. Greer. Wake up Rush and get him to the control room, I don't care how much he complains just get him up here."

"Right away sir." Greer replied, a little too eagerly. It was just possible to here the sound of his feet hitting the metal of the corridors over the radio.

"You're sure?" Young asked, as though repeating the question would somehow change the answer.

"Completely, nothing is working. I've even given adrenaline and that hasn't woken him up!" TJ replied calmingly.

The two were in the infirmary, hovering over Rush's sleeping body, the grouchy old scientist hadn't woken even while being carried here, none too gently, by Greer.

"So Destiny's on a collision course with becoming the size of a postage stamp and the only man who may have been able to stop it is for all extents and purposes comatose? Sometimes I think this ship hates us. So what are we left with? Come on think people!" Young demanded.

"Well Destiny has already dealt with the plasma for us, it's selected a few sections to put everything to avoid it being incinerated. Providing we stay in those sections we're not going to be vaporised." Brody chipped in.

"And the black hole? Anyone?" Young asked to a silent audience until Dr. Park finally spoke.

"Chloe might have an idea."

"Chloe?" Young asked softly, entering her room. It was pitch black. "Chloe we need your help with something? Do you feel up to it?"

No answer, Lt. Scott's death had hit her hardest amongst the crew, since then she hadn't left her room once, her meals had to be brought to her and she had barely spoken a word, throwing out anyone who had tried to get close enough to help.

"Chloe?"

"What do you want?" complained an irritated voice in the darkness.

"We need your help Chloe. You're the only one who might be able to save us." It sounded cliched even to him.

"Why can't Rush do it?" She demanded furiously.

"Dr. Rush is currently in a coma."

"So I'm the last resort am I?" she said bitterly.

"Not the way you're implying, you've made it quite clear you don't want to be disturbed but we have no choice. We need you Chloe."

"Fine."

"Well the good news is we'll probably survive it." Was Chloe's none too reassuring assessment.

"Impossible!" Scientists in the crowd began shouting.

"How?"

"Nonsense!"

Eventually the shouting died down. With mild assistance from Lt. Greer.

"There seems to be some disagreement amongst the scientists as to your findings Chloe, can you explain to them while I deal with a few things." Young asked, leaving in a mild hurry as the scientists erupted into argument once more, with phrases like "It's suicide." and "We're as good as dead." being tossed around.

Once the furore had died down, courtesy of Greer again. Chloe began her explanation.

"Look it's perfectly safe, the shield should maintain normal gravity within the ship, it's the only reason we don't get torn apart every time we use the FTL drive, we'll enter at FTL and we'll leave via FTL so no worries about escaping either, the only real danger is the time dilation. If what I'm seeing is correct then the computer and sensors will need a minimum of an hour of their own relative time. Which providing the power doesn't run out will be about a day for us. There will be mild time dilations around the ship but they can be monitored from the control room so everyone stay close to a radio."

What could possibly go wrong?

Author's Note: And that's a wrap, possibly a bit too sciency but I felt it was needed to reestablish Chloe as a character – really had forgotten about her, thanks xCloneECKO. Next update on Thursday as always. Also if there are any spyro fans then please review my new fic Skylanders: Spyro's Adven- OH MY GOD WHAT IS IT? Protesting the changes in the new game, such as Spyro now looks like a troll with it's head smashed in.

Author's Note 2: Ok, minor revisions, still not good but hopefully it's tolerable
