PLAYED BY: Jay Underwood
SPECIES: Human Male

William Telfer, another of the three crewmen, was abducted by organisms that were thought to be dark matter lifeforms. Telfer was returned to the Flyer with one of the aliens in his body. This frightened Harren greatly. Soon after, the alien emerged from Telfer and began interacting with the Flyer's environmental systems. Panicked, Harren killed it with a phaser, eliciting an angry rebuke from Janeway, who surmised that the alien meant no harm, but was simply trying to communicate.

More of the aliens attacked the Flyer, presumably in revenge. Janeway ordered the three crewmen to leave in escape pods, but only Harren did so; the others insisted on staying and seeing it through with Janeway. However, in a surprising act, Harren selflessly attempted to draw the advancing aliens to the pod to give the Flyer a chance to escape. However, Janeway took the Flyer to transport range of the pod and had Telfer beam it aboard.

SPECIES:
Bajoran Female

During her time at Starfleet Academy, Celes had great difficulty with her enlistee training courses and had to work three times as hard as her classmates in order to keep up. She frequently had to spend all night "cramming" to pass. She believed the only reason she graduated from training was due to sympathy over her homeworld's conflict, and the desire of Starfleet to have Bajorans in the service.

SPECIES: Human Male

Among his crewmates, he was especially close to a Bajoran crewman named Tal Celes. He frequently helped her perform her work as an astrometrics sensor analyst, which she found very difficult due to competence issues.

The mission proceeded well at first. Then their vessel, the Delta Flyer, was struck by an unknown force which was thought to be a dark matter proto-comet, rendering the vessel unable to attain warp speed, thus stranding the crew several light years from Voyager. Telfer was then transported away by what were thought to be dark matter lifeforms.

He was returned soon after with one of the organisms inside his body, which caused him intense pain. The organism later left him, making an agonizing exit from his body via his neck, after which it was killed by Harren. However, after the whole experience, Telfer found, to his great surprise, that he had been cured of his hypochondria.

He was last seen lying unconscious in Voyager's sickbay, along with Janeway and the other two away team members, after Voyager had picked up the Flyer's distress signal retrieved the shuttlecraft.
