[On the implication left hanging in the air that Dr. Rush knew Destiny was in no danger and let the 15 risk their lives on the shuttle and possibly marooning them on an unknown, barely habitable planet, 13 by lottery plus Scott and Johansen]
Master Sgt. Ronald Greer : Ah, let it go, sir.
[Greer chuckles]
Eli Wallace : [dismissive] He didn't know. I-I-I saw his face.
Lt. Matthew Scott : There's no way.
Eli Wallace : No.
Colonel Everett Young : What if he did?
[Pregnant pause. Scott looks down, Eli and Greer look up]
Lt. Tamara Johansen : He's right, sir. Let it go.
Colonel Everett Young : [shakes his head, mutters repeated line] A lot of work.

Colonel Everett Young : There's a rumor spreading that we're still here.
Dr. Nicholas Rush : We are. Destiny needed all its power reserves to protect itself, and us.
Eli Wallace : Uh, guys? We're *in* the star.
Colonel Everett Young : That can't be right. We're talkin' thousands of degrees.
Dr. Nicholas Rush : Well, we've just flown through the corona, which is even hotter, to say nothing of magnetic fields, gravitational stresses. This is what Destiny intended from the moment it entered this star system.
Colonel Everett Young : You're telling me it flew into the sun on purpose?
Dr. Nicholas Rush : Yes.
Colonel Everett Young : Why?
Dr. Nicholas Rush : To replenish its reserves.
Colonel Everett Young : You're telling me this ship...
Dr. Nicholas Rush : The ship is powered by the stars themselves. Solar powered, quite literally. There is no other explanation.
