Canon is SGU. New muse is new!

[littlemissbrilliant]

What am I doing here? Last thing I remember, I was being deleted from the ship's database.  After all that, why would you want to drag me out? To 'play' with, as you put it?

Put me back. After everything I did, I deserve to be lost in the solitude of Destiny's memory banks.

[colunderfire]

....Dr. Perry?

So you're here, too, huh?

[littlemissbrilliant]

It would seem so.

[She seems almost startled by his presence. Probably the first real human interaction in quite awhile]

[colunderfire]

You okay?

[He walks a bit closer, frowning.]

[littlemissbrilliant]

I would have thought you'd be angry with me. For what I did - almost did - to Dr. Rush.

[colunderfire]

[Anyone who gets Rush trapped in a cyberworld, where he can't mess things up, is A-OK in his book.]

No, no. I completely understand. I'm not that angry. Besides, we're all in the same position here.

[littlemissbrilliant]

[She's beginning to understand why Nicolas had a distinct dislike of the Colonel]

Not entirely. I'm still just a data ghost.

[colunderfire]

I would imagine I am, too. Last thing I remember is going into stasis on board Destiny.

[And is it Young's fault that Rush makes things so damn difficult?]

[littlemissbrilliant]

[Nic's always been a difficult man to get along with, unless he considered said person his intellectual equal]

You were put into stasis? Is something wrong with the ship?

[colunderfire]

Well, that depends on your definition of wrong.

[Young frowns slightly.]

The ship didn't have enough power to get us across the void to the next galaxy. Every time we dropped out of FTL to dial the Gate, we got attacked by robotic AIs, supplies were running low. So, Eli came up with the idea to put everyone in Stasis and... skip the galaxy we were in.

((OOC: I need to do some hard canon review.))

[littlemissbrilliant]

But you'd have to be in Stasis for....

[Years, by her calculations]

A long time.

[colunderfire]

With the crew in stasis, we could coax a little more out of the FTL engines.

...You'll have to talk to Eli for the specifics.

[destinytobehere]

Mandy...

[littlemissbrilliant]

[Shock registers first. Then the initial rush of excitement she always got just from being near him. Followed swiftly by sorrow and shame]

Nic.

[That one word was laced with so much emotion]

[destinytobehere]

You're-- [Not dead. Not deleted. Here.]

[Small laugh.] You're here.

[littlemissbrilliant]

I shouldn't be.

[Her smile is the very definition of sheepish]

For what I did to you....

[destinytobehere]

No. No. Mandy... You couldn't have known how Destiny would interpret your parameters.

[littlemissbrilliant]

I ignored that calculated risk and many others.

[Just for a chance to feel. To be with him ]

I put your life in danger. I never meant to, but it happened and Eli was right to step in when he did.

[destinytobehere]

Mandy... [a softness to his voice. He doesn't say anything else because she is right but... he needed it.]

[littlemissbrilliant]

[The question was: Where do they go from here?]

Are you...well? Wherever your mun is keeping you?

[most_qualified]

Is that right?

[littlemissbrilliant]

Do you not agree?

[This is quite bizarre and yet fascinating at the same time]

[most_qualified]

Deleted?

[This is a development that she wasn't expecting but quite the interesting one.]

Interesting.
