[At first, he thinks it must be the ship. She's mucked about in everyone's heads before. Another simulation? The onset of mild insanity, at long last?
It's bothersome, at least, when he thinks everyone he passes is talking, some low whisper, about such random subjects, sometimes to themselves. But nobody's ever speaking. Or what they're saying is something completely different.
He goes to TJ, once, complaining of headaches, insists on getting himself checked out as thoroughly as possible, and when she found nothing physically wrong with him, Rush decided, naturally, that it was best to keep his mouth shut about it for now. He'd get around to mentioning it if he thinks it's necessary. It's not entirely out of the question, not so hard to believe, telepathy, after everything they've seen out here. But he's sure the reaction would not be pretty if people (if Young) found out that Rush, of all people, could suddenly glean into their minds. It's not like he's doing it on purpose.
Which makes moments alone that much better. He's been trying not to let it get to him, but sometimes it makes it so hard to concentrate. He already has a fairly good grasp on people as it is, this crew especially. So, at a console, alone, trying to work, it's the best option without deliberately going to a less visited part of the ship or secluded in his quarters at the moment. Only hearing himself think. Perhaps he's been avoidant lately, distracted, but hopefully nobody's noticed or worried too much.
At least it tends to give him fair warning when someone's coming before he actually hears their footfalls, sometimes.]
