S1 E5: The Destiny is still without power and an attempt to alter their collision course with a star has failed. The situation is now critical. A plan is born to abandon ship using the last working shuttle with the hope that one of three planets in close proximity will be habitable. Although this strategy initially raises the crew's spirits it is short lived when Col. Young (Louis Ferreira) announces there is only room for seventeen people and a lottery will determine who goes and who stays. Stunned by the implication of this news everyone considers their fate. Some including Dr. Nicholas Rush (Robert Carlyle) and Col. Young opt to stay on board. Others determined to survive vie for a seat on the departing shuttlecraft. In the short time that remains alliances are forged and others damaged while Eli (David Blue) tries to create a message in a bottle with the aid of a Kino. But unbeknownst to all forces are at work that no one could have foreseen.
