|TOS     || Unknown     || [[Fire in Space (script)|Fire in Space]]        || [[Michael Sloan]]           || The script that "[[Fire in Space]]" is based on. However, there are several major differences; Starbuck, Apollo, and [[Boomer (TOS)|Boomer]] are undercover in a bar attempting to find information on the Cylon pursuit; the Cylons have a plan to attack and ram ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' called "The Delta Factor". During this, Starbuck is convicted of killing the husband of a woman he meets, Apollo is forced to seek out laser power packs for Adama's surgery, Starbuck uses his [[Viper (TOS)|Viper]] to extinguish a blaze, and Boxey, who just happens to witness the murder Starbuck is falsely charged with doing, is targeted by the real killer himself, but is saved (in a timely fashion) by Apollo. Coincidentally, this is the script that results in Sloan getting a story-by credit on "[[Murder on the Rising Star]]", since this has the murder plot in it.
