			After Sephoni's divination of Earth's location, a recon flight lead by Major Apollo happens upon a dead moon, and [[Encounter of the Super Basestar\|the first encounter]] with a [[super basestar]] and its swarms of {{Alt\|Raider\|TOS-DE\|Raiders}} ({{comics\|doa\|2}}). Despite all long-range scanner evidence to the contrary, Xam's divinity gives hope to Starbuck, Athena, and other pilots who [[Rescue of Apollo\|mount a rescue for Apollo]] against Commander {{Alt\|Adama\|TOS-DE}}'s standing orders ({{comics\|doa\|3}} — {{comics\|doa\|4\|short=y}}).

			After the super basestar [[Ambush by the Super Basestar\|launches its ambush of the Fleet]], Apollo's fate is inexorably locked: he successfully destroys the super basestar, but is destroyed in the resulting massive detonation. Xam records this passing from his near-comatose state by repeatedly tapping out the word "GONE" on his touchpad ({{comics\|doa\|6}}).

	Following the return from a recon patrol into an [[~~Storm Zone~~\|unnamed quantum storm zone]], Starbuck's Viper is charged with high-stating [[energon]] fields—otherwise known as [[void lightning]]—and Xam is struck. Unbeknownst to anyone at that time, this activates and enhances latent psionic abilities to those of a [[delta-class telepath]] ({{comics\|vol2\|6}} & {{comics\|vol2\|9\|short=y}}).

	Xam's recurring dreams of {{alt\|Earth\|TOS}} are able to manifest, affecting a great many people in the Fleet due to the energies of the Storm Zone, which some (including {{alt\|Adama\|TOS}}) believe without question ({{comics\|vol2\|7}} — {{comics\|vol2\|9\|short=y}}).

	After entering the Storm Zone and scanning a [[mysterious artifact]], {{alt\|Athena\|TOS}} directs {{alt\|Apollo\|TOS}} and Starbuck to Xam's [[hab-~~unit~~]], #13. It is there that they discover Xam's psionic potential, and he is remanded to the evaluation under Doctor {{alt\|Salik}}.

	Xam, uncertain about what is real, uses his psionic powers to ward off a pursuing Cylon task force by projecting an overwhelming force of {{alt\|battlestar\|TOS}}s within the storm. The Cylons retreat, but Xam's mind is burned out in the process, which affects Starbuck greatly ({{comics\|vol2\|9}}.
