You would think the whole novus plotline would interest Rush, but he clearly didnt give a s***. I know what concerns him is the "mission" but what entails this mission? I feel as a viewer im left out on whatever Rush is working on. Whats even more surprising is how he didn't want to take advantage of the knowledge Novus might possess since that might aid in his mission. There is something hidden from us pertaining to Rush and novus but i can't point my finger on it.

he's said it clearly in the past.
the mission is to get to where they're going, not about getting home. where they're going is the source of the signal in the bacground cosmic radiation.
the information on novus was useless to him because it won't get the ship where it's going faster, it won't contain spare parts, and TJ is still alive so they're not re-learning medicine or anything.
on novus, he went looking for what might be viable - air filtration. there were no parts, but an underground bunker needs a way for people to breathe for a few years. the rest of the tech is behind what the ancients built into destiny, and information is a distraction.

yeah, it's not that rush was hiding something. It's just that he had no interest in elaborating to the crew and they had no interest in asking until they wanted him for something (for which he had no interest in). Objectively speaking he was right, he genuinly had something more important to do. What he did was procure better material than lime for the air filtration system, he had looked for and found that material and was busy cutting it into proper chunks compatible with Destiny's filtration system. This was indeed more important and more achievable than downloading an entire database on a rapidly collapsing planet. It's just that the other crew weren't as interested in that as they were in the adventures of their past alternative future selves.I'm an average viewer. As plain as they come. People make TV shows based on my demographic.

which, for the record, was only ever a footnote. the storyline itself was portrayed through the parts rush wasn't in - which is the majority of the episode.
this show is portraying rush as realistic - he's devoted to his mission. air filtration will mean he doesn't need to stop to refill it as much later. AND he's making sure that as many people as possible make it as far as possible together - he's come round to the idea, apparently, of everyone having a role on the ship.

What does Rush want?
Cigarettes. Caffeine.
He's been denied these for two years. The Novans likely found substitutes or something very much like these substances. Rush was cranky because he knew, he KNEW that once he got a taste of that sweet sweet caffeine and felt the narcotic rush of nicotine once again he would lose his mind all over again.
Thus he was cranky for the entire episode. So close to all those lovely stimulants and yet he knows he cannot have them.

To find the candy coated center of the Universe. I agree he's looking for the pratically useful materials that will aid him in achiving his goal.All plot and no character makes for a dull story...
