	Driven by his fear of losing Apollo and his inability to cope with waiting for his stepfather to return from dangerous missions, Boxey writes a farewell note and runs away from his quarters.

			Boxey is pleased at the fact that Serina and Apollo are to be [[seal\|married]], however the marriage was short lived and he is forced to go through the death of his second mother.

			=== [[Surrender the Galactica!\|''Surrender the'' Galactica''!'']] ===
			In [[Surrender the Galactica!\|''Surrender the'' Galactica''!'']], Boxey experiences recurring nightmares about Apollo's death in combat. These dreams feature him piloting his own [[Viper (TOS-BN)\|Viper]] alongside Apollo, but being helpless to save his stepfather when [[Cylon raiders (TOS-BN)\|Cylon raiders]] attack. In his nightmares, Apollo successfully destroys three enemy ships before falling victim to a fourth raider with special weaponry, leaving Boxey screaming helplessly as his father's ship dissolves.<ref name="STG14-15">{{cite book\|last=Larson\|first=Glen A.\|last2=Thurston\|first2=Robert\|title=Surrender the Galactica!\|publisher=Ace Books\|year=1988\|pages=14-15}}</ref>

			Driven by his fear of losing Apollo and his inability to cope with waiting for his stepfather to return from dangerous missions, Boxey writes a farewell note and runs away from his quarters. The note reads: "Dear Dad, I'm glad you're still alive. I was real worried. I had bad dreams and you always died. I'm afraid. I don't want to wait here and think about you getting killed. I'm going away. Then you don't have to worry about me again. I hope you never get killed. I'm taking Muffy with me. Your son, Boxey."<ref name="STG33">{{cite book\|last=Larson\|first=Glen A.\|last2=Thurston\|first2=Robert\|title=Surrender the Galactica!\|publisher=Ace Books\|year=1988\|page=33}}</ref>

			Boxey's journey through ''[[Galactica (TOS-BN)\|Galactica]]'' leads him to the lower levels known as the [[Devil's Pit (TOS-BN)\|Devil's Pit]], where he encounters an elderly man who recognizes him as Apollo's son. The old man, a former resident of the ship's upper levels, befriends Boxey and provides him with food and shelter.<ref name="STG78-79">{{cite book\|last=Larson\|first=Glen A.\|last2=Thurston\|first2=Robert\|title=Surrender the Galactica!\|publisher=Ace Books\|year=1988\|pages=78-79}}</ref>

			In the Devil's Pit, Boxey also meets [[Peri (TOS-BN)\|Peri]], a tough young girl who knows the hidden passages and secret areas of the ship. Together, they navigate the dangerous lower levels, avoiding conflicts between rival factions of displaced personnel who have formed makeshift communities in the abandoned areas. Despite their initial antagonism, Boxey and Peri develop a friendship as they help each other survive various encounters with hostile groups.<ref name="STG126-127">{{cite book\|last=Larson\|first=Glen A.\|last2=Thurston\|first2=Robert\|title=Surrender the Galactica!\|publisher=Ace Books\|year=1988\|pages=126-127}}</ref>

			Eventually, Boxey becomes involved with a theater company operating in the ship's lower levels. He performs in their productions, using makeup and costumes that disguise his identity from anyone who might recognize him. During one performance, Apollo arrives in the audience, accompanied by the old man from the Devil's Pit who had helped in the search. Boxey spots his stepfather from behind the stage curtain, leading to an emotional confrontation.<ref name="STG166-167">{{cite book\|last=Larson\|first=Glen A.\|last2=Thurston\|first2=Robert\|title=Surrender the Galactica!\|publisher=Ace Books\|year=1988\|pages=166-167}}</ref>

			The reunion between Apollo and Boxey is highly emotional. Apollo acknowledges that he cannot promise to stop going on dangerous missions, as duty requires him to continue serving as a [[Viper (TOS-BN)\|Viper]] pilot. However, he expresses his need for Boxey to be there when he returns, telling the boy: "I can't stop your worries. When I go out on a mission, I always face danger. I've gotten out of more scrapes than I can count. When I'm out there, I think of you. Often. I count on getting back here—to you." Moved by his stepfather's words, Boxey chooses to return to his normal life aboard ''Galactica''.<ref name="STG184-185">{{cite book\|last=Larson\|first=Glen A.\|last2=Thurston\|first2=Robert\|title=Surrender the Galactica!\|publisher=Ace Books\|year=1988\|pages=184-185}}</ref>
