Andrew Covel

Doctor Andrew Covel is one of the scientists for Homeworld Command and the new head of research at Stargate Command. In 2011 he and Senator Michaels used the communications stones to switch places with Camille Wray and Ronald Greer on Destiny. Their job was to evaluate the viability of Destiny's mission. Covel concluded that Rush had made a potentially important discovery but that it would be nearly impossible to understand it with the resources available on Destiny. He also concluded that the crew was not likely to survive long on Destiny and that their actions had damaged the ship. While on Destiny, Dr Covel and Senator Michaels' bodies were exposed to lethal doses of radiation due to the Lucian Alliance attack on Homeworld Command. When Destiny jumped out of FTL, Covel and Michaels briefly reinhabited their bodies and Covel observed lethal levels of radiation on a geiger counter. Fearing for his life, Covel took advantage of a glitch in the communication stones' operation to sabotage their operation to insure that they could not be turned off. When Rush discovered what had happened he reversed the sabotage, swtiching the stones off. Senator Michaels and Dr Covel then disarmed the bomb wich was at Homeworld Command, presumably dieing of radiation poisoning soon afterwards
