[Expletive]

( One of life's miracles is when feces becomes rock hard and is able to survive millennia; even though technically, it's still a piece of shit.)

Destiny's mainframe avatar looked on as Jessica Lyman appeared to have been 'accosted' by a piece of the nebula cloud creature. Even with Dr. Rush downloaded into it's data-banks facilitating all sorts of probable and comparative outcomes and strategies, Destiny was still at a lost how to proceed.

Jessica's Lyman's legs were grasped apart, as the cloud creature was thoroughly immersed into her vaginal, and anal cavities. Destiny's image of Rush which could be seen only by the two victims before him, had a look of bewilderment on his face; Was Jessica being devoured, raped or something else indescribable? Even more astonishing to the Computer, was the way Jessica looked; her head drawn back in ecstasy; her mouth ajar, with drool running down the corners of her mouth landing on the floor, her pale face flush red, and her eyes rolled into her skull. Her breath coming out through her opened mouth in quick successions, with no apparent blood, spittle or anything else which which would accompany a person being eaten from the inside out. Not even a grimace of discomfort or pain, but instead, Rush's image witnessed ecstasy. The mainframe wanted to use it's scanning and processing abilities to peer deeper into the subconscious mind of the two before him (it was presently in the shallow part of their minds, and touched only their perceptive functions; enabling them to see and hear It), but due to a near overload of other procedures, the computer could only reserve a small portion of it's processing power for the Rush avatar and it's dealings with Paul Howard and Jessica Lyman, with the rest of It's logic and computational methods being used for advising other key crew members, and placing subspace shields through out it's Ship body to curb the Nebula beast harvesting.

"Doctor?" It was Paul Howard, his eyes dazed, as if he was steps away from death or unconsciousness---- by the mere fact that he was alive astonished the Mainframe since, by all accounts, such a grave invasive attack should have killed him.
"Doctor, I'm changing, it's changing, I understand now, please," Paul paused, closing his eyes for a moment as if drawing power from some unseen force, "Everything will be finished soon, use your full computing power and focus on slowing down the rest of the black smoke. When we're done here, it'll come back for us." Rush's image couldn't compute what it was hearing from Paul.
"You're in shock," said Destiny's avatar. It tried to mimic the dismissive vocal tone it computed the original Rush would have done. Paul, still looking sleepy continues, the grimace of pain on his face lessening.
"This thing, has roots in subspace, and subspace is the realm where bubbles of being exist, and within these bubbles, are the space fields of the ascended plains." The mainframe using Rush's image, still held a look of puzzlement.
"What are you?" Rebutted the avatar, as it accessed the memories of Dr Rush and Dr Franklin which enabled it to fully comprehend that something beyond it's ability to properly attend was happening: Connections were being made in it's data-banks, connections that enabled it to understand that it was following a plan designated by some one else---some one not involved in it's original programming. Some one with the ability to reprogram a small part of it's data-banks to protect Jessica Lyman and Paul Howard. And, as Destiny thoroughly examined it's actions, it deduced that from the arrival of the milky way visitors, it started oscillating a frequency, which was similar to the way in which it peered into the minds of it's human occupants. The oscillating emission was able to hold up to 30% of it's computing resources, from then to now, something it would never have done otherwise. As it scanned through Kino records made specifically by Paul Howard, it discovered Paul who was a self professed sufferer of bipolar like symptoms, had spoken of how coming to Destiny had made him a new man. It also found it strange how it started to favor Paul over Rush (who was a devote follower of Destiny's mission even before coming on board the vessel) as a person who was not expendable. The oscillation was meant for Paul Howard, and even now, it's presence on the Observation deck was meant for Paul and Jessica.
"I think, I'm a god." Said Paul Howard with such force and gusto, that were the avatar a human being, it might have become startled. But, as Destiny sensed/heard the words from Paul Howard; 'I think, I'm a god,' it couldn't compute beyond his former words; 'when we're done here, it'll come back for us. Destiny started to understand the concept of curiosity, and hated not being able to fully understand the imperatives of the spoken word.
"Speak Plainly Paul Howard! I don't have the time or ability to process incoherence!" Destiny was becoming impatient, another human trait it hadn't before now, or didn't fully understand until faced with a problem that had no immediate or probable solution. It deduced that perhaps absorbing Rush and allowing him to run unimpeded in it's virtual memory was causing unforeseen side effects; perhaps Rush's personality had become viral in it's data-systems.
Paul Howard remained silent for a time, and as the seconds became moments, Destiny feared that Paul was either dying or dead. It expanded it's observation matrix to better grasp Paul's condition, so much so, that warning subroutines warned it of potentially crashing it's present 'Protect Paul Howard and Jessica Lyman program', since it was using almost the full capacity of it's functional resources designated for this specific task. Once in heightened observation mode, it was able to see the innards of all biological entities as shades of light and colorful radiance. As it approached Paul, it noted he appeared to be alive but, it was drawn first to Jessica; It was taken aback by the electrical firestorm that brewed within Jessica Lyman's body; her skin was sweating profusely, even with It's power off and the Observation Deck near freezing, Jessica was damp with perspiration. But as it peered closer, it noticed a dark reddish radiance emitting from Jessica's head: It looked as if her brain's processing power appeared to be approaching 15% capacity, already surpassing the genius level 13% capacity, seen only in the rarest of humanity; with Rush, and Eli approaching such usage. But according to Destiny's files it had accessed on Jessica Lyman, she wasn't even remotely talented in any area, and her brain full capacity surged no higher than ship wide average of 8%. But now, something about this Nebula creature had pushed her to exceed what was normally possible even in the smartest of the crew. A cry of joy escaped Jessica's opened mouth. 'No doubt about it,' computed Destiny, 'Jessica is experiencing some form of coitus.' Though It remained oblivious as to how or why.

Orgasm after orgasm flooded Jessica's brain with dopamine molecules, so much so that, it started to change the very chemistry of her brain. And due to her exposure to the smoke creatures naturally occurring regenerative radiance, she was suffering no ill effects. Destiny witnessed that even the creatures tendrils which held her high, and had originally left several burn marks on Jessica's exposed flesh, was no longer burning her, but instead was doing just the opposite as, all the burn marks was being repaired at an incredible rate. Paul's aura changed from a human yellowish glow, to an incredible blue, to an intense purple. Destiny noted, that the smoke creature also exuded a dark purple, only, it's intensity was lessening, as if, it was either absorbing Paul, or was matching the electrum signature Howard radiated.

(This bit was fun to write, even though it's a piece of shit---more to come. Watch SGU yous Glee Fags!)
