Rush- ...About it's mission. it's far more important than we ever thought.
Young- Well ok let's hear it.
Rush- Are you familiar with the cosmic microwave background radiation?
Young- Noise left over from the big bang.
Rush- A long time ago, the Ancients made a discovery. they found evidence of a
structure. Buried deep within the background radiation. They believed at one time this structure had genuine complexity. coherence. Therefore could not have occurred naturally.
Young- How is that even possible?
Rush- it's not. at least not according to our current understanding of physics. Nor can we even see this structure with our technology.
Young- OK so what are we talking about? some kind of code? a message?
Rush- A message perhaps. Or a sign of intelligence. From the beginning of time.
Young- Sent by..?
Rush- Well that's the very question they sought to answer when they launched Destiny. That is the mission. We're talking about a mystery rooted in the foundation of reality. A puzzle. with pieces scattered across the length and breadth of the universe itself.
....
Rush- Once I'd broken the code I had access to the ships complete archive. There are thousands of pages devoted to this. Scientific research, philosophical debate.
....
Rush- We're talking about a level of order present at the very beginning of space-time that goes beyond anything we've ever conceived. I believe that the more we learn, the more pieces Destiny uncovers, then the greater our power to control everything around us will be.
...
Rush- Yes Colonel, it is about power. To control our fate. right our wrongs....To gain greater understanding.

So...Here's what I got from that. A long time ago, millions upon millions of years ago, the Ancients discovered a structure, a level of organization within the background radiation leftover from the big bang. Destiny is some sort of scientific instrument, for gathering information and collecting data, or something like that. But that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I still like to think Destiny is going somewhere, not just flying around scanning and analyzing.
Am I right or wrong? I don't know. What do you all make of this? Apparently understanding this code, manipulating it or something, you can change the things around you. Play god, maybe.
When Rush said " I believe that the more we learn, the more pieces Destiny uncovers, then the greater our power to control everything around us will be." It made me think that it might have something to do with the Lucian Alliance 'alleged' attack on Earth. Maybe they'll learn something that can help them? meh...
Let's get it on!
the debate, that is.
