Icarus Base and Destiny

"Lieutenant Matthew Scott is a young rookie member of the Stargate team, pretty much just right out of training. He's thrust into a leadership position and he has to pretend that he knows what's going on. He has to maintain some sort of an aura of authority and command in confidence when inside, he's feeling a lot of turmoil. So, for him, the journey, at least in the first couple of episodes, is, I think, learning what it is to be a leader, stepping up when every impulse in your body is screaming to run in a corner and hide. You know, it's that it's fighting that sense of fear and shell shock. He ends up being the kind of go-to guy for Colonel Young. Colonel Young ends up sending him out in a lot of missions. Nothing prepared him for the situation that he finds himself in, because he starts to realize at a certain point that everybody aboard that ship...their lives are in his hands." (Brian J. Smith, MGM Character Profile video)

After being stranded on Destiny, Scott was given the chance to visit Annie Balic on Earth through the use of Ancient Communications Stones. During this awkward visit in which he disguised himself in the body of an Air Force Colonel, Scott learned that Annie did not have the abortion he thought she had, but instead bore a son who was now eight years old and was given Scott's first name. Balic was a single mother, working hard as a dancer to make ends meet, and she refused to accept any financial assistance that Scott offered.
