Doctor '''Wilker''' is experienced in a unique variety of electronic sciences, including but not limited to communications, robotics, and computational technologies. | Doctor '''Wilker''' is experienced in a unique variety of electronic sciences, including but not limited to communications, robotics, and computational technologies. | ||
Wilker builds and constructs the [[Muffit II]] robotic [[daggit]] as a favor to [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]], programming it for {{TOS|Boxey}}'s visual image that Apollo furnishes him. He had hopes to use the Muffit II as a template for other daggits to take watch over the [[Warriors]] as they rest in situations where they are isolated or on a ground mission | Wilker builds and constructs the [[Muffit II]] robotic [[daggit]] as a favor to [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]], programming it for {{TOS|Boxey}}'s visual image that Apollo furnishes him.

Apollo later questions Wilker on the possibility that [[Iblis]] is an android construct, and Wilker mentions (interesting and ironically enough) that such a feat is possible with Colonial technologies. He later is sent on a mission to find out what exactly caused the "miracle" growth of the edible plants on the [[Agro Ship Nine]], during Iblis' visit to [[The Fleet (TOS)|The Fleet]]. He discovers that the plants had been subjected to a growth-inducing radiation | Apollo later questions Wilker on the possibility that [[Iblis]] is an android construct, and Wilker mentions (interesting and ironically enough) that such a feat is possible with Colonial technologies.

Additionally, he apparently is also on call to do forensics for the Fleet, as he tests [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]]'s [[laser pistol]] to confirm whether or not the energy expended upon [[Ortega]]'s corpse is the same as the energy expended from Starbuck's pistol.

Wilker also is responsible for experimenting with the [[Lunar Seven]] [[Lunar Avion|shuttle]] that [[Michael]] liberates from the [[Eastern Alliance]], although he tends to be over the line in his experiments, and is ordered by {{TOS|Adama}} to desist ([[TOS]]: [[Greetings | Wilker also is responsible for experimenting with the [[Lunar Seven]] [[Lunar Avion|shuttle]] that [[Michael]] liberates from the [[Eastern Alliance]], although he tends to be over the line in his experiments, and is ordered by {{TOS|Adama}} to desist ([[TOS]]: [[Greetings from Earth]]"). | ||
{{TOS|Boomer}} noted that Wilker could do thousand-fold better than him to clear up the transmission that Apollo receives in the old [[Gamma frequency|Gamma frequencies]], although he apparently is over at the electronics ship (the ''[[Celestra]]'', most probably) at the time. Wilker never has the chance to look at it, since his lab is destroyed when '' | {{TOS|Boomer}} noted that Wilker could do thousand-fold better than him to clear up the transmission that Apollo receives in the old [[Gamma frequency|Gamma frequencies]], although he apparently is over at the electronics ship (the ''[[Celestra]]'', most probably) at the time.

* According to the novelization of "[[Saga of a Star World]]", Wilker had an assistant named [[Lanzer]].
