ofcourse stargate universe isn't mine...exect for the concept of Easia otana...she is mine

I know there are grammar mistakes but I can't change them at the moment (fanfiction is difficult for the moment)

7. Gaining intell?

"You haven't let her out of there for a second!"

"She could very well be a securityrisk. I won't allow it untill I hear what T.J. made out of the bloodsample and then only with guards 24/7." Young snapped at Rush as they walked throught the corridors, not very peacefull.

"With the supplies we have at the moment... that will take forever. Listen, she speaks freaking ancient, for God sake's. She has only to look at the database to tell us the whole content of it." Rush said, motioning with his arms to support his words.

"I don't see the urgency of that. Sure, we all want to get home" Rush gave him a glance " but if it means we have to wait 3 days longer because it's safer, then we will wait those 3 days." Young said sternly and dismissed Rush by entering his own room.

The scientist sighed, threw his hands in the sky and walked away. He couldn't believe that Young kept the girl, request by Destiny itself, prisonner. Who knew what the girl could, but let her out to actually see what she could... oh no, too dangerous. Whouldn't the ship have reacted if there was something wrong. there was only one option left. Rush couldn't bring the girl to the database then he would bring the database to the girl.

Eli looked up when he heard the door slide open behind him. He had kept 'guard' over Easia. Young actually wanted to let military personel watch over Easia but as soon as one of them came too close the tiger would stand up and stand before Easia, with its hair bristled and his fangs bare. Eli ,on the other side, was accepted as if he was part of the furniture of the room. The boy figured that it was probably the attitude of the military that enraged the tiger. They did after all have the guns and with them the power. He had seen how the tigers eyes were fixated on the guns that the people caried. it would always growl and twitch it tail to show its irritation.

"How is it going here?" The deep voice of Rush interupted Eli's thoughts.

"Fine, I believe... she has taken one of the books that I had with me."Eli said as he pointed at Easia, who sat on the bed with the tiger laying right beside her. The tiger in question raised its head for a moment, looked at both men and went back to its nap.

"An English book?" Rush asked.

Eli nodded and smiled. "Yeah, she's teaching herself our language. I believe Destiny has helped her back in the gateroom... the yellow-treat-thing." Eli said as he turned to face Rush. Behind Rush he saw the door closing, a guard on the other side.

"Yes... that was quite something"Rush admitted.

It stayed silent after that and Rush noticed that Eli wondered why he was here anyway. Rush couched, gaining Eli's attention even more.

"Have you slept while I was away?"the boy asked and Rush looked away, telling enough. "You should sleep, I told you that this morning already."

"A lot happend since this morning. I haven't found the time yet to sleep."Rush answered, gazing at Easia who looked up.

She seemed to search for words and said them with doubt written on her face. "One should... give you a...present?... give ... time."

Both men gawked at her.

"You talk pretty good now."Eli said and Easia smiled.

"practice in here" She said as she pointed at her head.

"Unfortunaly one can't give eachother time though."Rush said, smiling at Easia.

She nodded. "Guess...so. Eli right though...sleep." Easia said.

Eli smirked at this "See" he said full of confendence.

"Yeah well, I though to relieve you from your duty now so you could eat and then afterwards I can go sleep."Rush answered.

"It's not a duty... it's the duty of the guard outside."Eli said dismissive.

"Right, I just thought that a real piece of meat was something we would all like to eat."Rush said and he saw the information sinking in by the boy.

"Yeah, those deers...wonder how they taste."

"One way to find out, I guess."Rush said and he smiled as he saw Eli leave after that.

a moment later Eli looked back in the room "hé, be nice to her." after that he vanished.

Rush shook his head. Was he ever mean on purpose?

(Easia's Pov)

"Will you tell me your story"I look up and see Nicolas Rush standing on the end of the bed. His eyes shift between me and the tiger. I feel my lips move upwards. Somehow all these people were afraid of Tiger while he hadn't done anything. But I too know that Tiger can have its times when he's ... unstable, so to say.

"Soon..."I answer. "Everyone needs ... to hear. tell one time."

Seeing the man nodd, I know that my message was clear enough to understand. I smile. I am getting the hang of this new language. Sure, Deotana...Destiny?... had helped by showing her what had happend here the past months. She had heared a lot of words in a matter of minutes. Luckely it was a quite simple language and Destiny had translated a lot.

I saw Nicolas Rush take something out of his pocket. It looked like the thing Eli had used before. As I looked better at it, I was sure, It was the same thing.

"This is called a psp. It is normally used to play games on but Eli has altered it so you can chat with Destiny." Nicolas Rush said as he gave the device to me.

"Chat?"I asked as I cocked my head.

"Talk with the Destiny by writing"He explained.

I nodded my head. I pressed a key and saw the screen light up.

survivalshope: hello Easia. Welcome aboard.

I read the sentence. The last word was new but I understood the sentence. I took the book that I had and searched for the words. I knew how to say the words and how to read them but the order of the letters wasn't always logical, at least that was how I saw it.

The screen asked me a question but I didn't understand. it was called 'nickname'. I looked at Nicolas Rush and showed the psp to him. He smiled.

"It askes how it should call you."

"Easia" I answered.

"That is possible, though you may call yourself something else if you wish... like a code." Nicolas Rush said as he gave the device back to me.

I thought about that for a while.

Easia5in1: Thank you Deotana.

Survivalshope: Deotana... It has been a long time since I heard that.

Easia5in1: Too long, metoe avri

Survivalshope: Oda, avri

(normal pov)

Rush watched as Easia typed away on the psp. she seemed to like it and somehow it reminded him of Eli and the kino-controller. Rush hoped that Easia would gain intell from the Destiny. He was sure that she and the ship had a closer band than any of them had. he had seen a part of the conversation. the word 'avri' was used on both sides. His idea had then been confirmed for 'avri' meaned 'friend'.

(easia's pov)

I felt how Nicolas Rush stared at me. It didn't really bother me but it wasn't very pleasant either. I looked up from the screen and stared back. He looked away and pretended to cough. I could hear it clearly that it was a fake. A 'beep'sound made me look back at the...psp, they called it that, didn't they.

Survivalshope: Are you still busy with the same thing as ever?

Easia5in1: if you mean Darker then yes...still busy.

Survivalshope: I thought so already...perhaps I can help.

Easia5in1: You are still programmed to find everyone?

Survivalshope: It's why I was made.

Easia5in1: Then yes, I would be honored to get your help.

Survivalshope: as am I, Easia Otana, as am I.

hope you liked it.
