Adam Brody

From SGCommand

Adam Brody is a male Tau'ri scientist who participated in the Stargate program, and was stationed at Icarus Base. In 2009, he and roughly 80 people were forced to evacuate Icarus Base during an attack against the base by three Ha'tak vessels. He ended up on the Destiny, an Ancient spaceship located several billion light years from Earth. One of his first duties on the ship was to help Nicholas Rush repair the failing life support system. He worked alongside fellow scientist Lisa Park. After Rush "told" the ship of the issues, and the ship Gated to a desert planet, Rush requested Brody be on the off world team, but that was overruled by Colonel Young, who wanted Brody to help fix the problem in the ship. (SGU: "Air, Part 1", "Air, Part 2")

Brody admitted during a Kino message that from the moment he stepped through a Stargate, he had the terrible feeling that would die in space. He can translate Ancient, though with some difficulty. With Dr. Rush incapacitated or otherwise preoccupied with more pressing matters, Brody translated all of the controls of the Ancient shuttle. (SGU: "Darkness") When it was believed Destiny would be destroyed by colliding with a star, Brody was one of the seventeen who were selected to board the Ancient shuttle to the Goldilocks zone planet. He later confirmed spectrographic readings of the planet, citing a lack of carbon dioxide meant there would be a lack of vegetation. Realizing the ship had survived its encounter with the star, the shuttle returned. (SGU: "Light")

Several weeks later, when the IOA presented a plan to get the expedition home, he was optimistic about the plan. He even offered the idea that they speed up the process to enact the plan. Following the orders, he and Sergeant Riley were working in a section of the ship exposed to the vacuum of space. When their repairs to a power line failed, Riley reentered the closed-off section and attempted to fix the problem and was hit by an explosion. Brody took Riley to Tamara Johansen and waited outside the infirmary for news. These events convinced Brody to side with Rush in creating false readings that showed that they would be unable to shut down power once Telford's plan was enacted and the Stargate was dialed while Destiny passed through a star. He later informed Doctor Rush of Telford's departure so that the ruse could be stopped. (SGU: "Earth")
