I know that the Telford was brainwashed by the alliance to give up the location of the Icarus base, but what I don't know is why they felt the need to attack/seize the base. Nor the reason why they thought it was so important. To my recollection even we didn't fully realize the significance of the 9th chevron until the moment they arrived on the Destiny. Perhaps I'm wrong since I've only the pilot like twice.

Considering the last times we went on a treasure hunt, we found a superweapon, another superweapon, a third superweapon and Atlantis, it doesn't take much time to figure out that wherever Earth is digging is worth investigation.

Originally posted by thekillman View PostI think it was in season 2 that they stated that throughout the Milky Way, stories of the 9th chevron exist. It was basically known to be a valuable thing, nobody knew what it was though.

Keep in mind that Daniel just as well could've used the stargate to come to Earth. Ascended aren't visible unless they want to be or are about to directly intervene.
Destiny's mission may be moot, maybe not. I don't think it matters as figuring out Ascension has way more benefits than some early signal, especially since any early life would've ascended anyway.

There's another thing to consider also. We know from Atlantis that the ancients had 2 different types of hyperdrive engines. The slower interstellar ones like on Aurora, then the faster intergalactic variety. So since Rush was finally in full command of Destiny, and given time and the best techs and engineers on Earth they could upgrade Destiny's engines to the Intergalactic ones and finish it's mission that much faster.
