One possible start to season 3 ...
The episode opens with a kino recording from Eli, thinking out loud about his various options. He considers being uploaded into Destiny's databanks with Ginn, but doesn't like the possibility of being stuck there and never having a body again.
He thinks about salvaging bits and pieces of the eight non-working stasis pods, but it seems unlikely that he can get anything working within the next two weeks. They really do seem to be fried.
(Kino recording ends).
Eli wanders past the stasis pods, having brief conversations with some of the suspended occupants.
He comes to TJ, and talks to her about her terminal disease. He decides that if he can't save himself, at least he can spend his time double checking the database retrieved from colonists' planet for any clues to a cure for her.
While searching through the medical area of the database, Eli comes across some articles about research into long term stasis and its effects on the human body. There is enough information to create a crude stasis chamber, but Eli will need someone else's help to put it together, so he revives Rush -- who is not particularly happy at first, but agrees that it will probably work.
It takes several days to complete, and before they finish, Rush detects some drone scouts at long range. They do manage to finish, and Eli and Rush go into suspended animation; but the drones detect them before the the ship goes into FTL. They do not have time to attack, but it is clear that they know Destiny's direction of travel, even if they are unable to pursue them.
The episode ends with Eli's eyes blinking open, followed by several other people's. The stasis pods all open, and they start greeting and embracing each other. Then someone looks out a view port and realises that they are only half way between the two galaxies.
