another chapter, just for fun. btw: Still not mine


A couple of days later everyone was suspecting everyone for murdering a man of the military. Also a planet was found. Though it was covered in sand and rocks they found something interesting. A ship had crashed a kilometre away from the gate and Dr. Rush wanted to inspect it. He, col. Young and a couple of marines went though the gate.

Eli was waiting anxiously in the gate room. Only two minutes left. He kept looking at the clock and wished they would hurry up. Finally the marines came through the gate but Col Young nor Rush was with them.

"Where's Col. Young?" Scott asked.

"He and Dr. Rush wanted to take a closer look on the ship before leaving. They are coming"

Scott signed as he took a look on the clock. Suddenly Col. Young came through the gate.

"shut the gate. Rush isn't coming"

Scott saw the wound on Young's face" What happened"

" We were struck by an avalanche."

Eli knew Young was lying. No way that this was coïncedence and Young had seen the footage of the suïcide and Rush coming in three minutes later. Young just wanted revenge but this was going to far. Eli walked to the gate controls and pushed the gate address.

"Eli what are you doing. Were going in ATF in twenty seconds" Young yelled seeing what Eli was doing.

" I'm not going to leave him!" Eli answered while taking his bag and putting the keno- controller in it. Then the gate opened.

"Eli think about this. You can't return. The Destiny won't be here anymore"

Eli nodded "I know".

At this Young ordered "stop him" but Eli was faster and jumped through the gate.

He landed on the sand. The gate closed as soon as he got through and Eli knew that it was the last time he had seen the Destiny. Eli scanned the environment. There really was only sand and rocks as far as the eye could see. Not knowing were Rush was Eli took his keno and sent it flying searching for anything. Eli walked towards the ship, knowing that the 'incedent' had happened somewhere along the way.

When Eli took the last turn to the ship he saw Rush lying in front of it. Eli rushed to his side and checked the heartbeat and the breathing. Everything seemed fine so he probable was knocked out by Young. Eli saw the bruises and cuts on the mans face and took his bag, searching for a clean tissue and some antibiotics. TJ once gave it to him when they had split up on a mission. "Just in case" she had said. Gently Eli cleaned the wounds

There was nothing to do anymore and Eli looked at the ship. Slowly he walked closer, inspecting every aspect of the ships details. He had never seen anything like it, not that he knew much of space vessels or anything. Lying on that hill it did however make a good base. Eli soon started making camp in the shadow of the ship by searching for wood, which he found a half of a kilometre from the camp and unpacking his bag.

Eli's bag was like a emergency-kit. It contained all sort of things: matches, some candy bars, two falcon's of water, a blanket, a flashlight, the Keno controller and a I-pod which was left in it since he had arrived on the Destiny. With the wood and the matches Eli made a campfire 'cause the night was coming. Then he searched for rocks. With these rocks he started to build a wall between the ship and the hill to stop the wind from coming in from that side. He spread the blanket over Rush. After making camp he was tired and sat down by the fire studying his surroundings.

The first thing Rush noticed when he woke up was the blanket. He stared at it in confusing. He didn't remember having a blanket with him nor falling asleep. Suddenly everything came back. He and Young had stayed for a little longer and Young had become enraged by discovering why he had kept silent of the suïcide. They had fought and obviously he had lost. Being here ment that they had abandoned him and the Destiny was gone.

"Damn!" he cursed.

Only then he noticed his surroundings and the movements of someone. Someone had made a fire and had given him a blanket a was now shining in his eyes with a flashlight.

"Dr. Rush, you're awake. Finally, you had me worried there for a moment." Eli said as he walked towards him.

" Eli, is that you?"

"yep it is"

"what are trying to do? Blind me?"

"Oh sorry" Eli quickly turned the flashlight off.

"Is the Destiny still here?"

"ehh... well I would like to say yes but I would be lying"

"So, it's gone"

"ehh... yep"

"then what are you doing here?" Rush asked as he stood up and noticed that there was a camp being made.

"I ... I sorta..."

Rush looked darkly at Eli "you sorta wanted to rescue me and race back to the gate to get me on the Destiny while you knew you were never going to make it and you were going to be trapped on a planet?"

Eli scratched the back of his head and nodded "yeah, something like that"

"you idiot! You could be save and well on that ship discovering the universe and helping those should have stayed."

"well, sorry for worrying about you and trying to save you!"

"You don't understand do you? I knew this was going to happen some day and I trained you for that day, to take over the science department and to advise Young with his decisions. Those people don't know what they're doing!"

"You knew and you did go here anyway? that's insane!"

"I didn't know that day was coming so soon!"

Having yelled enough at each other both men sat down by the campfire and remained silent. Eli angrily stared in the fire while Rush inspected the surroundings. He saw the stone wall and the campfire.

"You have set camp up properly."

"Thanks" Eli grunted, still angry.

Rush watched him for a while.

"Look... I'm sorry. I just been abandoned of the ship I was trying to fix. That ship was my lifework. I'm just angry..."

Eli huffed but it didn't sound that angry anymore.

"candy bar?" Eli asked as he tossed the thing already.

"thanks"

"you're welcome".

After that Eli lay down and want to go to sleep.

"Put some wood on the fire before you go to sleep and use the blanket if you want" he said as he closed his eyes.

"I will" Rush said, because there was nothing left to say.
