	As a result of going through time, the molecules of the synthetic fibers change color ~~(which has~~ to ~~do with~~ magnetic stress loads), thus the [[uniforms (TOS)\|uniforms]] worn by time travelers are turned white.

			Xaviar continues his attempts, including an incursion into Revolutionary War-era America, but is thwarted {{G80\|Galactica Discovers Earth, Part II}}. Use of the time warp synthesizer is abandoned for a time, with Xaviar attempting to secure his freedom from Adama and the Council by using the [[Super Scouts]] as bait, which fails {{G80\|Spaceball}}.

			An unproduced script entitled "[[The Day They Kidnapped Cleopatra]]" made use of the synthesizer.
