In 2550 he was was the single bridge crew who volunteered to remain behind to give the surviving crewmen a chance to evacuate the Columbia, he relieved Mercer of his command, citing the fact that he had no remaining family. His last words were recorded on the ships black box, when he said "One who saves a life, may save a world entire".
