	Boomer and another friend, {{TOS\|Jolly\|Flight Sergeant Jolly}}, happen upon a Cylon outpost, skipping decontamination and bringing back a deadly viral agent that incapacitates all people that the two were in contact with.

	Boomer and Starbuck also manage to recover {{TOS\|Apollo\|Flight Captain Apollo}} from [[Equellus]], after obtaining permission from Commander Adama. It should be noted that it was fairly obvious that they would have gone anyway, regardless of any permission given by Adama. Adama previously orders that no search be done for Apollo due to the perception he would favor his son over the Fleet's safety {{OS\|The Lost Warrior}}.

	He later questions [[Chameleon]], who claimed to be Starbuck's father, breaking up a situation that happened nearly a [[centar]] prior concerning the [[Borellian Nomen]] and [[Taba]]'s activated [[laser bola]]. He fills Apollo in on his hunch, which turns out to be true as the two warriors attempt to get something out of the man. Of course, the story Chameleon tells them about testing a Nomen child is not true, and Boomer subsequently discovers that Chameleon was fleeing from them as he swindles [[Maga]] and his Nomen. Boomer also discoveres the two Nomen, Maga and [[Bora]], miraculously alive in the launch tube after Chameleon fires the Vipers lasers at them {{OS\|The Man with Nine Lives}}.

	The lieutenant must defend his friend, Starbuck, from a crime he didn't commit: the termination of [[Ortega\|Flight Sergeant Ortega]].

	He is forced to see Starbuck into a controlled crash-landing on the Delta-class marsh planet of [[Attila]], and returns to the Fleet to procure assistance. Apollo and Boomer land on the planet sometime later to see that the Cylons, lead by the unscrupulous [[Specter]], flee the planet. Of course, when they were leaving, Boomer voices the age-old question of Starbuck's charm on women to his Flight Captain: "How does he do it?" {{OS\|The Young Lords}}.

	Boomer is also instrumental in the rescue and well-being of everyone trapped in the Rejuvenation Center during a massive fire on the battlestar, managing to open a door in another section of the ship. Unfortunately, Boomer could not jury-rig additional doors as a fire on the other side blocked the only door within the storage room adjoining to the Center. He does get a note to {{TOS\|Tigh\|Colonel Tigh}}, informing him that they were alive and in need of rescue {{OS\|Fire in Space}}.
