| '''Salik''', the senior life-sciences officer on ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'', is an aging male who had been with the battlestar prior to the [[Battle of Cimtar|destruction of]] the [[Twelve Colonies (TOS)|Colonies]]. He has a long and decorated history of abiding to the Hippocratic Oath.<ref>The [[Wikipedia:Hippocratic Oath|Hippocratic Oath]] is believed a creation of the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates of the planet Earth. A reference to a person on Earth (of which very little is known to the Colonials) is a sizable writing inconsistency.</ref> His high morals have made himself a logical friend of [[Adama (TOS)|Commander Adama]]'s for quite some time ([[Greetings from Earth]]). | | '''Salik''' is the senior life-sciences officer on ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]''. |
| | |
| Salik and a contingent of medtechs volunteer to take a medical [[Colonial Shuttle (TOS)|shuttle]] down to an asteroid where [[Jolly (TOS)|Jolly]] and [[Boomer (TOS)|Boomer]] are infected with a [[Otarsis virus|seemingly incurable disease]]. Although Salik attempts to do his best to cure all those infected, he is unable to do so without obtaining a living virus culture itself. Under escort by rookie shuttle-turned-[[Viper (TOS)|Viper]] pilots trained by [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] and [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]], he and his medtechs manage to devise a cure for the ailment ([[Lost Planet of the Gods]]).
| |
| | |
| Along with [[Cassiopeia]] and other medtechs, Salik later saves Adama's life, although not without a few scares first -- particularly power-interruptions from destabilized [[energizer]]s ([[Fire in Space]]).
| |
| | |
| Sometime later, Salik attempts to gather readings on Count [[Iblis]], although that goes nowhere. However, despite his nature, Colonel [[Tigh (TOS)|Tigh]] notifies Adama that Salik was the first person to be enjoying the apparent good fortune that had fallen upon them in the form of inebriation ([[War of the Gods]]).
| |
| | |
| Later on, Salik is one of of several who attempt to determine what exactly [[Michael]] and his family/crew were. He does object to [[Wilker]]'s rather unscientific attempts to discern the technology in the [[Terra]]n-made [[Lunar Avion|craft]], and later on flat-out refuses to the [[Quorum of Twelve (TOS)|Quorum]]'s and [[Sire]] [[Geller]]'s edict to open up the cryogenic suspension chambers on the ''Lunar Avion''. Due to this act, Salik is relieved from duties regarding the "[[Earthlings]]."
| |
| | |
| In concert with Starbuck, Apollo, Adama, and Cassiopeia, they plot to put Michael and the other Terrans back in their craft and send them [[Paradeen|on their way]] with a Viper escort. Salik happens to be in the bay at the time the ''Avion'' launches. When Sire Geller inquires on being in the life-sciences station, he comments, barely able to withhold his laughter, that Geller had relieved him earlier ([[Greetings from Earth]]).

| == Notes ==
| |
|
| |
|
| * Salik's name is likely pronounced "sah-lik", although it has been pronounced in two other ways as well: "say-lick" and "say-leek".
| | Following the [[Battle of Cimtar]], he becomes responsible for {{alt|The Fleet|TOS|Fleet}}-wide health concerns alongside his staff, including {{alt|Cassiopeia}}. |
| * Murdock reprised his role as Salik in [[Richard Hatch]]'s ''[[Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming]]'' trailer.
| |
| * The counterpart to Salik in the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]] is [[CMO]] Major [[Cottle]].

Salik is the senior life-sciences officer on Galactica.
Following the Battle of Cimtar, he becomes responsible for Fleet-wide health concerns alongside his staff, including Cassiopeia.
After entering a manufactured universe of Iblis' design, an injured Adama is remanded to Salik's care and is puzzled at Adama's high brain activity while being summarily unconscious ((Comics: Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #1)). He is further dubious at Apollo's claims of being able to assist his father via the use of mental powers, despite its later success in allowing Adama to recover ((Comics: Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #4)).
