What would General O'Neill do after ...(spoiler & spec)

[ckwongau]

What would General O'Neil do after an official investigation into Col Young/Telford incident on Earth.
There will be an offical Pentagon/IOA investigation

We have Col Telford call Pentagon to pull the stone plug on Visiting Col Young.

Col Young pretended to be someone else to visit Earth ,and somehow incapacitate a pentagon driver(as well as someone keeping an eye on the "Destiny visitor") then assaulted another US airforce officer.

An officail investigation will uncover how Col Young abuse and sexually violated Col Telford's body .

In the past the Pentagon provide a driver for "Destriny"s visitor", they drove them around as well as keep an eye on them from a distant.

Sometime Col Young are allow some Privacy oernight.Kind of like "Don't ask Don't tell policy "

So what would Jack Do now ? since he can't just sweep it under the rug.

There is not much he can do to punish Col Young from Earth side.
May be restricted his Earth visit to close supervise visit
And give Col Young an offical warning.

Since Telford play it cool and by the book, look like a victim.
Jack probably give him some private warning about , or ask Telford to get some Consulting for victim support of sexual violation.

IOA will make a lot of nose about the crew violated other's people's body.
And new policy for visiting crew.

General O'Neil must deal with the fallout of this incident .
Two or three person will have to watch over the Destiny visitor.They will be closely supervise and minitor .

[Nathan Reynolds]

I believe there's notthing he can do.
They have no way of verify the identity of the person "sent" from the Destiny.
They have only their word.

The most he can do is talk to Young or relieve Telford of the Destiny mission, that way that can happen again i suppose.
But nothing prevents Telford to go back and talk/seduce Young's Wife.

It's a no win situation i think. There is nothing that any one can do to prevent that from happening again.

Wouldn't that be misuse of military property and conduct unbecoming an military officer? Since all of it is top secret a military court headed by o'neal could potentially put telford away in a hole in Leavenworth for the rest of his life. That is, if Jack really wanted too.

[knowles2]

Short answer, nothing.

O'neil clearly need young an the destiny crew an he need them stable an able to work an survive out there until Rush decides to let them return home.

Telford can easily be reassign, if he an Young cannot sought out there differences. If they reassignment is to a other military post or the cell in one of the lower levels of Area 51 that would be up to him.

The IOA clearly decided that Wray should be in command an trying to encourage her to take on that role. In there minds keeping both Telford an Young around a fighting between each other is a good way to keep them distracted to there own plans to position there own people in places of power.

So really apart from Telford being reassign, nothing will be done.

He could keep him from seeing his loved ones... Emily.
He could bar him from any more swaps
He could promote Scott or put Rush incharge
He could give him the wag of the finger.

Well, yes, technically there could be some serious consequences for Telford's actions, but any good JAG attorney would get most of them dropped due to the circumstances surrounding things Young could technically be charged with.

Young's charges-

1- Misuse of Government property

2- Identity Theft

3- conduct unbecoming

4- Assault + battery

5- Sexual assault

6- Violent threats against a military officer (thank you patriot act).

7- dereliction of duty

So yeah, Young has committed at least those offenses, all but one of which could be a court marshal offense.

[The Shrike]

General O'Neil should demote and reassign Telford to another facility, demote Young, then promote Tamara Johansen and place her in command of the Destiny mission. I think the IOA's position reguarding Wray being the best candidate for leadership of the mission has some merit, but in order to maintain firm control over the situation, the leader would need the support of the military personnel on the ship, and Wray, as a civilian wouldn't be as safe a bet.

[aarlin81]

I'm sure there will be some type of reprimand.

It's more likely however, that we'll see more focus on memories carried over resulting in new policies regarding the stones. Something about long term use and/or the need for increased rotation.

Couldn't Jack hit Telford with a "Conduct Unbecoming" charge?

[Maxum]

Considering all the things that Jack O'Neill has done during his service to SG-1, he's not going to do a damn thing to Young, and good for him. Telford has it coming in spades, and I have no problem with it. Jack broke more than a few rules and regulations during his time as the leader of SG-1. How many times did he disobey orders?

Also, I think Young is the type of man that if Jack asked him point blank if he did these things, he would admit to them in a heartbeat. Telford? He'd throw his mother under the bus. Telford should be demoted because he's the catalyst. He's the one creating the dissension aboard the Destiny for Young AND at home with Young's own wife. I doubt Jack would think that Young slugging Telford was unjustified or ream him for actions unbecoming an officer.

Jack was no choir boy, and he has admitted that he likes and respects Young.

[Pharaoh Atem]

nothing he can do it was just a fight among two people. and once jack knows what teleford has been doing i'm sure he would take young's side

[Jper]

There's no way Telford will ever be able to prove Young hit him. No witnesses. So it's Young's word against Telford's.

including the fact that young was in someone else's body

[creed462]

One thing to think about is that it is very inappropriate for Telford to be going to Young's wife so I think it is unlikely that Telford will report it

[Jper]

Yeah, if Telford would report it that would probably indeed lead to some sort of investigation which would probably lead to more negative effects for Telford himself than for Young.
