:It could very well be a nickname instead of a callsign. I made the mistake of assuming it was a callsign, based on the fact that "Freaker" is a (likely) reference to '''[[Wikipedia:Radio frequency|frequencies]]''', something natural for an ECO of a Raptor. However, since he may be a communications officer (not tactical), "Freaker" may be what the Colonials call their comm folks, much as US Sailors call their [[Wikipedia:Radioman|IT]]s "[[Wikipedia:Sparky|Sparky]]". I'll admit I probably need to rewatch the ep again to confirm he's a CIC officer and not a flight officer, but ultimately based on my conjecture above callsign or nickname are both plausible.--<font color="#4b0082">[[User:Mitsukai|み使い]]</font> <font color="#2f4f4f">''[[User_talk:Mitsukai|Mitsukai]]''</font> 00:38, 21 October 2006 (CDT) | |||
