Episode Summary
 
[x] Remove Ad
When the Destiny's power reserves drop to a critical level, the crew is ordered to use power for essential services only, but the rationing isn't enough to keep Rush from announcing that all on board will die within days. Meanwhile, tensions sweep through the ship as Rush has a breakdown, some of the crew demand answers from Eli, and Telford returns to judge Young's competence to command.

Episode Quotes
 
Franklin: Just over 90,000 liters.
Eli: 91,046. Ish.
Scott: Go, Math Boy.
 
Eli: I don't think the showers use water. They just spray a sort of mist that you stand in and it sorta beads up. There's one in a compartment off the crew quarters.
Scott: How do you know all that if you haven't tried it?
Eli: How do you know I haven't tried it?
Scott: Oh, we know.
Eli: Thank you, Lieutenant Rosegarden.
Chloe: No, he's right. You're worse than he is.
Young: Wow, you can tell them apart.
 
Becker: My assignment, sir?
Young: Recipes, Becker. For the love of God, recipes.
 
Chloe: You don't have to follow me around.
Eli: What do you mean?
Chloe: I mean that I'm okay.
Eli: Oh. Thank God you said something, because I thought you were following me around and it was about to get awkward.
 
Chloe: I don't even know what to do with myself, Eli. I'm the last person who should be here.
Eli: I'm second to last.
Chloe: You're underestimating yourself.
Eli: So are you.
 
Young: Okay, I get it. Who can I bring in to help.
Rush: Honestly, it may take longer than we've got to bring someone else up to speed.
Young: Volker it is.
 
Marine Sgt. Spencer: What's going on, Eli?
Eli: You mean right now?
2nd Lt. Vanessa James: Don't be an idiot.
Eli: Wow, you must be getting to know me because I respond really well to that.
 
Volker: Uh, Dr. Dale Volker. I'm 34 years old. Uh, despite you may or may not have heard, from a certain Scottish person, I like to think that I'm a pretty fine astrophysicist. I mean, they don't send you to work on solving the mysteries of the universe on other planets if you're a hack, right? So... that's all I have to say. And we can't all be Mozarts, right? Some of us are... Salieris. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I... I like Salieri. I find his music is, uh... it's uh, it's soothing. I'm not suggesting that he's Mozart, either. Although Mozart did go a little nuts, didn't he? All right, I'm done. He's maybe a Schubert at best. Or an Elgar. I'm done, Eli.
 
Young: Eli?
Eli: I put a kino into search mode and sent it into un-pressurized areas of the ship looking for an active console somewhere. Nothing yet. Also, I was looking into seeing if there was any way to integrate the shuttle's power with the ship's system?
Young: So you're working the problem?
Eli: Yeah.
Young: Does the computer-hacking dropout have to save our asses?
Eli: The dropout is still here.
Young: Or are you going to get your heads out of yours?
Franklin: The shuttle idea's pretty good.
Volker: Yeah, there might be a work-around.
Young: Well, let's do that. Thank you, Eli.
Eli: Uh, by the way, it's... MIT dropout.
Young: You want, you want a gold star for that?
 
Rush: Colonel, about our previous conversation.
Young: Rush, no need to apologize.
Rush: I wasn't about to.
