Hey here I'm with a little update. It's not so much but still.

anyway: Stargate universe is not mine although I wished it was

oh and enjoy

Chapter 2: impostor or not

recap: I have many names and have lived for a long time. My name to you is Destiny.

Both scientists grasped. was this even possible? The Destiny was talking to them? Eli looked at Rush who was staring at the screen.

mathboy: your turn to prove it.

Suddenly lights started flashing and the hologram in the middle of the room started to play several video's.

survivalshope: satisfied?

mathboy: you did that?

survivalshope: yes, want to see more or did I convinced you and doctor Rush.

Eli spun around to Rush who had grasped again.

survivalshope: Yes I do see you. Look at you right.

Eli did as he was told and saw a kino hovering at the right corner of the room. He walked to it and took it. He spun it around and searched for something unusual. He didn't find anything. This was just an ordinary kino.

survivalshope: I have a connection with them. I can see what it shoots.

Rush took the seat before the laptop and started typing frantically.

mathboy: Rush here. Why did Eli have to prove then that it was him? How can we know that you're not just someone from the crew in the controle-room tapping some buttons.

survivalshope: because we are going out of FTL in twenty minutes because of low food supllies. Nobody on the ship knows that nor can they influence the ship.

"Out of FTL in twenty minutes" Eli repeated after he read the message "that would indeed prove that we are talking to the Destiny here."

"We'll see about that" Rush grunted.

Suddenly a message appeared saying: survivalshope offline.

"guess the ship has other things to do then talk with us" Eli said as he looked at Rush questioningly.

"... If it is the Destiny ,yes. But somehow I feel that something isn't right here." Rush said as he looked back at Eli.

"You mean that somebody is fooling around with us?"

"It's a possibility yes."

"guess we will see in twenty minutes then"

Rush nodded and walked back to the console in the middle of the room. He had twenty more minutes to figure out where all the power was going to. Somehow they were using huge amounts of power without doing anything except flying.

"Eli do you mind to shut that hologram up" Rush said as he watched to the man again who talked about destiny and hope again.

"oh right" Eli said as he was still clicking on his laptop with a confused frown on his face.

"Like now, Eli" Rush said getting frustrated again.

Eli got out of his state of confusing and concentration at Rush his voice and started typing on the console. After a few moments the hologram faded away and the screen went out. Rush started working immediately on the console again without even giving Eli a look again.

"gee, thanks Eli. Oh it was really nothing." Eli said while rolling his eyes. Then he wanted to start typing on his laptop again when he was interrupted by the grumbling of his stomach. 'oh right breakfast' Eli thought and at that he closed his laptop and walked out of the dataroom. A moment later his head turned around the corner again.

"Shall I bring your breakfast here or ...?"

"I'm fine" Rush answered.

"Not eating is not healthy just like not sleeping which you probably haven't done since ... a couple of days or so because the lack of sleep is dripping into your voice." Eli said while narrowing his eyes at the doc.

"I'm fine Eli" Rush snorted, not looking away from his console.

"just saying, A human needs certain things to survive."

Rush signed deep and it sounded angrily. "Eli!"

"yeah yeah I get it, I get it. I'm outta here" At this Eli waved with his hand and walked away.

When Rush turned around fifteen minutes later he saw a bowl of protein-soup standing on the table in the middle of the room. He shook his head but smiled. This boy was too good for him. He took the bowl and drunk it's content while he walked out of the data-room.

Today the day, somewhere into space, stargazing-room

When Rush walked in the stargazing-room his bowl of soup was half looked at the few people at the room and after a quick check for Young's presence he relaxed. Young wasn't he looked out of the big window and watched as they flew through FTL. The stars were faded by the speed and looked like sweet Christmas-lights. At this thought Rush smiled and he walked to the railing in front of the window. Placing he elbows on the railing he sipped from his soup while staring outside. His mind flashed back to the chat of earlier today. Were they really talking to the ship or was this just someone who was laughing at them right now? He would find that out after a few if it was a crew-member then he wouldn't rest until he found the idiot who dared to make a fool out of him and Eli. Sure they made fun of him all the time but Eli... Eli tried the best he could to help everyone. He wouldn't let this person unpunished. He wouldn't let anyone harm his... colleague... his friend? Rush thought about that for a moment. Eli could be described as a friend, no? Rush honestly didn't know. He didn't have that many friends. Certainly not aboard the ship.

Exactly that moment Rush heard someone approach. He was sure that it wasn't Young because Young limped and his footsteps were louder. This was a bit fast but gentle footstep.

"Hey, so you got the same idea as me?"

Rush wasn't surprised when Eli suddenly stood beside him, his arm resting on the railing while his body was faced to Rush. A small smile was on Eli's face and his eyes had a little sparkle betraying his exitement. Rush nodded to him.

"it's good to see you out of the lab or the dataroom for a moment. It's almost as if you live there" Eli started rambling. "I mean sure I bring you food and there enough work to do but I can't imagen to sleep on a chair for more then two hours. I mean it's so unnatural. It should even be impossible but I guess..."

"Eli!" Rush said in order to stop the boy before he got out of breath.

"yeah?"

"Your rambling again." Rush said searching for words. He wasn't good at being patient. Certainly not after having not sleeping well. One could say he was nice for once.

"right... sorry" Eli said as he turned to the window, placing both hands on the railing. "I do that allot as you have noticed."

Rush gave him a little smile and took another sip of his soup. "Thank you by the way for the soup."

"you're welcome" Eli said as he brighted up at the comment.

A few metres further sat T.J. She had been here since this morning with a notebook and a pencil. She had felt the urge to draw something and she had searched for the perfect spot to think about things while drawing undisturbed. She had sketched several things already like the room itself and Young when he was here an hour ago. It seemed to her that most people came here to relax. Maybe the view and the big window made them feel secure. Most came here with a book or something to write. This was like the place to feel free from duty. She thought about that. It was something they needed. Maybe this could become a sort of relax-room. It had no big meaning right now and they didn't really need the space for something else. She would propose this to Young later on the day.

Now T.J watched to two scientists. They seemed to have some smalltalk which she found weird. She never suspected that Rush would be one for smalltalk. Anyway it was good to see that Rush had a friend. She had been concerned about the fact that the scientist never left his work. It wasn't healthy to have no one to turn to. She was glad to see that he had at least one friend aboard the ship. Maybe it would keep him sane. a little smile struggled his way to her face. Suddenly an idea came to her. She would draw the life on the Destiny. Slowly she started sketching Rush aside of Eli.

"Really Eli I don't get you went to school that long if they only teached you the basics. What a waste of time" Rush said as he shook his head.

"yeah, I thought the same and quited. Then I searched for some jobs but that's difficult if you can't come due the day." Eli said as looked at Rush.

"because of your mother?"

"yeah. Not that I blame her of course. People should be more respectful and acceptably to another but I guess that we are to selfish sometimes." Eli said while turning his back to the window.

Suddenly they both felt a flutter in there stomach. This was not because of love nor fear but because the ship jumped out of FTL. It had the same effect as when your inside a elevator which suddenly falls and then stops at once. Both men turned to the window and then looked at each-other. They jumped out of FTL. It struck them suddenly. Both realised that survivalshope had to be ... the Destiny.

guess this is a bit of friendship. maybe some romance later. anyway tell me what you think. review please.
