Lucian Alliance's kidnapping of Nicholas Rush was a event in 2384 where the Lucian Alliance kidnapped Nicholas Rush while he was in the body of David Telford on Earth. (SGU: "Subversion")
Prelude[]
After using the Long-range communication device to switch with Colonel David Telford, Rush began seeing pieces of Telford's memory which indicated he was a spy for the Lucian Alliance. He advised Colonel Everett Young of the situation, and arranged to switch with Telford during the next scheduled contact with Earth in order to confirm his suspicions. (SGU: "Subversion")
Mission[]
He successfully made contact with the Alliance, pretending to be Telford, but was betrayed by his lack of knowledge of their procedures. He was kidnapped and taken off the planet in a Tel'tak. He was tortured by Commander Kiva into revealing his identity, then taken to their base, a recreation of the Icarus project. Rush was forced into completing their work into dialing the ninth chevron, while Telford was interrogated by Young on Destiny. Rush stalled as much as he could, which gave Young the time he needed to break Telford's brainwashing and get the location of the Alliance base. The George Hammond was dispatched to rescue Rush, but this instead forced the Alliance to dial ahead of schedule, reaching Destiny at the expense of blowing up the planet. (SGU: "Subversion")
