Michael originally hailed from [[Terra]].  He was subject of experimentation by one of Terra's political divisions for life on the [[Lunar colonies]]. With [[Sarah]], who was evidently an aquaintance, her children, as well as [[Melanie]], they fled the Lunar colonies successfully via the [[Lunar Seven]] shuttle ''[[Lunar Avion]]'' he liberated for this purpose. However, thanks to [[Starbuck (TOS)|Lieutenant Starbuck]] and [[Apollo (TOS)|Captain Apollo]], the ship was automatically intercepted and brought aboard the [[Galactica (TOS)|''Galactica'']]. The tampering of Doctor [[Wilker]], despite his best efforts, accidentally revived Michael. He exited the craft through the decompression chamber, and stunned [[Reese]] after he didn't heed Michael's warning.  Michael subsequently succumbed due to the high-pressure of ''Galactica'''s life support systems.


When Apollo, Starbuck, Doctor [[Salik]], and [[Cassiopeia]] returned Michael to his ship, he demanded to know what was going on and the reason his ship was pulled off course. After being informed of the reasons, he arrived at the eventual conclusion that there were similarities to his and [[The Fleet (TOS)|The Fleet]]'s plights. He entered the cryogenic chamber, as did his companion, Sarah.

Originally hailing from [[Terra]], '''Michael''' was the subject of experimentation by one of Terra's political divisions for life on the [[Lunar colonies]]. With [[Sarah Fowler]], who was evidently an acquaintance, her children, as well as [[Melanie]], they fled the Lunar colonies successfully via the [[Lunar Seven]] shuttle ''[[Lunar Avion]]'' he liberated for this purpose.


However, thanks to [[Starbuck (TOS)|Lieutenant Starbuck]] and [[Apollo (TOS)|Captain Apollo]], the ship is automatically intercepted and brought aboard the ''{{TOS|Galactica}}''. The tampering of Doctor [[Wilker]], despite his best efforts, accidentally revives Michael. He exits the craft through the decompression chamber, and stuns [[Reese]] after he doesn't heed Michael's warning.  Michael's life is endangered due to the (relative) high-pressure of ''Galactica''{{'|s}} life support systems.
Upon discovering Hector's inability to deactivate and destroy the tracking beacon, he feared that it would herald the end of them all.


When Apollo, Starbuck, Doctor [[Salik]], and [[Cassiopeia]] return Michael to his ship, he demands to know what is going on and the reason his ship had been pulled off course. After being informed of the reasons, he arrives at the conclusion that there are similarities to his and [[The Fleet (TOS)|the fleet]]'s plights. He re-enters the cryogenic chamber, as does his companion, Sarah.
Michael later chastised Sarah for damaging the controls of both [[Viper (TOS)|Vipers]] after discovering that she wanted Apollo to stay on the planet for reasons of courtship. Subsequently, Michael accompanied the party that went after Starbuck in the catacombs of the nearby major city.  


With the ship back in space and on its original course, it eventually reaches its destination, [[Paradeen]]. Upon landing on the planet, they discover that Sarah's father has died, and that the droids managed to finish building the house. Much to the surprise of the Colonials, Michael isn't actually Sarah's husband. His faith in technology and Terra put him at odds with her. An instance of this came when [[Hector]] and [[Vector]] wanted to perform a dance from the Royal Theater on [[Terra]].
Michael was also responsible for dealing with Leiter and his men. Interestingly enough, however, after Leiter and his men were taken care of she and Michael grew closer and she became less and less inclined for fighting him. ([[Greetings from Earth]])
