Berkley Novelizations
editGreenbean is a member of the Colonial fleet's pilot corps, participating in combat missions alongside other veteran pilots such as Apollo, Starbuck, Boomer, and Jolly.
During a Cylon diversionary attack designed to lure Colonial forces away from the fleet, Greenbean serves as part of the squadron responding to a false distress signal from an uninhabited planet. When the squadron encounters a large Cylon force approaching the Galactica, Greenbean is the first to identify the enemy vessels, responding to Captain Apollo's request for identification in his characteristic "soft folksy voice" with: "Fellas, looks like good old Cylon Raiders to me. A whole wall of the little buggers."[1]
Later, during the climactic battle when Galactica comes under massive Cylon assault, Greenbean demonstrates his piloting skills in combat. Starbuck, observing the battle from the experimental SuperViper, notes Greenbean's performance alongside other pilots: "Did you see Jolly zip through that trio? It looked like he knocked them off with one blow. And Boomer and Giles and Greenbean, too."[2]
