Destiny wasn't rejecting Young, it was rejecting Rush and trying to find someone else to put in charge for whatever dangers are ahead. When it wasn't convinced of Young's ability either, it decided it would park its metal ass right where it was at until someone capable was in control. If Young had maintained his composure and Rush had left the simulation running, I'm betting that a few dreams later, Destiny would have given Young an in-dream walk to the bridge.
Evidence:
- Rush's wife is no longer asking him any questions. It's all Franklin now, and the tone is becoming outright hostile. Destiny understands him, and it's not pleased.
- Destiny can't test Young directly, as the holographic emitters (or whatever) seem to only be on the bridge. So it tried the dream route, seeing how he would react to various threats, trying to do the same personality-probing that it did with Rush.
- Rush himself gave it away during the conversation at the end, which included the line, "Ultimately, I control the ship." After that discussion, Rush looks around with a Hey, wait a minute look, but Franklin has disappeared.
