Author's Note: This SGU post is likely a week overdue, sorry about that. But with the failure which was the original version of the last chapter I had to do something of a rewrite. Admittedly a very small rewrite – I couldn't think of much. Hopefully this one will be rather more up to standard.

Now the usual reviewing of the reviews. Again I am so sorry about the last chapter.

: Thanks for the review but please stop trying to write the plot for me. Also as a minor point the three laws of robotics are a load of complete bollocks.

metalmodder: Thanks for the review and thanks for the advice, although I simply couldn't incorporate it into the rewrite. As for Rush... well I would have thought by now you'd know that it's all in the reveal. Personally I felt Chloe's initial reintroduction went quite well, the only problem was tying it into the plot I'd already set out, as you pointed out I floundered somewhat.

samcarter2: Thanks for the review, sorry if the explanation seemed lacking but Chloe was explaining to scientists with a lot of knowledge on the problem so I had to gloss over a lot of what I would have put, on the bright side she's going to have to explain it to Young at some point. I always like writing the sciency bits so it's going to be fun.

xCloneECKO: Thanks for the review and your advice has helped a lot.

buttonmashez2: Thanks for the review although in this case the compliment is rather undeserved.

fielding: Thanks for the review, and I believe it's rather tragic Syfy killed SGU.

"How long until we reach the star?" Young asked, watching over Chloe's shoulder with mild trepidation.

"Ten minutes. Don't worry we've cleared out all the areas that will be filled with plasma, the dangerous part is afterwards." Chloe said calmly, looking over her calculations one last time. Across the room Volker and Brody were doing the same, so far no mistakes.

"I assume you don't need me hovering over you all like this at the moment?" Young asked, already suspecting the answer.

"If you wouldn't mind Colonel." Chloe answered, not looking up.

"No problem, I need to check up on Rush anyway." Heading for the door he almost walked right into Boone.

"Col. Young!" He panted, having to hold his knees to avoid collapsing.

"What is it, Dr. Boone?" Young asked patiently.

"I was checking the... data banks and I found... I found why... why..." He paused, struggling for breath

"Take your time Doctor." Young said, not unkindly. Nodding he took a minute to catch his breath.

"I've found something about why Destiny is doing this."

"Go on."

"Well, even forms of radiation are unable to escape the event horizon, except one."

"Hawking radiation."

"Yes sir, how...?"

"I did a little research after Volker told me what was going on."

"Yes well, anyway, Hawking radiation isn't uniform, which means that contrary to the standard model the matter composing a black hole is not all the same. This means that although compressed immensely it would presumably be possible to calculate what a black hole has absorbed. I don't know why Destiny wants to find that out but that's why it's doing it. It's going to map a black hole."

"Thank you Boones, just one question. Why didn't you use a radio to tell me this rather than sprint through half the ship?"

"It just... didn't occur to me sir."

"So any ideas?"

"None, we're just going to have to wait for him to wake up." Lt. Johansen replied, both of her and Young watching Rush's comatose body as though they expected him to just sit up and shout fooled you.

"We need him awake."

"Your gut telling you something's wrong?" TJ inquired.

"Not in so many words, it's just it's always been him and Eli who had the answers." Young sighed. "I know Brody and Volker are good, and I know Chloe is Rush-grade smart but it just feels... unsafe not having them around to sort things out."

"I see." she said obliquely, "Having to put your trust in Rush was hard enough, now that he's unavailable you're having to go through the whole 'which scientist to rely on' thing all over again. It's normal, you're just out of your comfort zone that's all."

Young chuckled, "You never said you were a qualified shrink as well as a medic."

"I'm not... I just know you that's all, trust was never an easy thing for you."

Young was hovering over Chloe's shoulder again, frowning heavily. Brody, Boones, Park – accompanied by Lt. Greer, Morrison and Volker were all sitting at different stations in the control room, preparing to monitor any time dilations that might occur throughout the ship.

"Run why this isn't suicidally insane by me again." Young sadi conversationally.

"You're familiar with relativity I assume Colonel?"

"Of course, energy equals matter times the speed of light squared."

"Yes well relativity states that any object with physical mass would gain an infinite mass as it approaches lightspeed, because of this you would need an infinite amount of energy. Now experiments on Earth have managed to get a few subatomic particles to go faster than light, I believe the record is 1.3 C, now to bypass this Destiny instead accelerates it's shield to faster than light which as it consists of just energy is possible to do. Everything inside the shield not only gets carried along for the ride but also continues to experience Earth normal conditions, including time. Now a black hole also effects gravity which in turn influences time. Now a second to you will always be a second but for someone in a different time dilation your second could take a minute, an hour or who knows how long but as long as the shield holds these changes should be minor."

"So basically being in a black hole is like being in FTL?"

"Essentially Colonel." Chloe turned back to her screen. "Uh... Colonel?"

"Yes Chloe?"

"You might want to strap yourself in, this could get somewhat bumpy."

Author's Note: Well I think it's a better chapter at least and for all the real science nuts out there, Yes I do know the explanation of Hawking's information paradox is wrong, I have a reason for doing so.

And despite my earlier predictions the chapter is only a day late.
