'''Dorothy Carlyle''' is the assistant of Dr. [[Donald Mortinson]] at the Pacific Institute of Technology.

She encounters [[Troy (1980)|Troy]] and [[Dillon]], initially confused by their use of the term "[[List of terms (1980)#transmission band|transmission band]]" when referring to Mortinson's paper on PBS. During their visit, she receives a phone call from [[Jack Archer|security]] and confirms that the two who "broke in" are in Mortinson's office. She attempts to stall them, without great success; she later attempts to stop them from modifying a nuclear dissolving formula on Mortinson's personal computer without success.

When Mortinson is shocked by the formula the two Colonials leave behind, he questions her, and later learns of their connection to [[Jamie Hamilton]] through her ([[Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I]]).
