| '''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 (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 (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #4).
