"These are the wrong people&hellip;in the wrong place."

- Col. David Telford

Colonel Telford piloted an F-302 in defense of the Icarus Base during an attack from unknown Ha'taks and Death Gliders. During the battle, he is separated with those who go through the Stargate to the Destiny and feels they are not qualified to survive on their own.
