Sheba (TOS-BN)

In Surrender the Galactica!, Sheba works alongside Croft during a critical engine repair operation following a Cylon sabotage attack on Galactica. When the ship's engines are destroyed by a solenite bomb planted by a disguised Cylon infiltrator, Sheba assists Croft in examining the wreckage and assessing the damage.

Sheba questions Croft about the explosive material, and he identifies it as solenite, drawing on his expertise from their previous mission on the ice planet Tairac. When Apollo is called back to the bridge during an ensuing Cylon attack, Sheba chooses to remain with Croft in the dangerous engine room to assist with repairs rather than evacuate to safety.

Working as Croft's assistant, Sheba helps separate wreckage and hands him tools as needed while he performs complex electrical repairs. She observes him create an intricate network of connections and bypasses to restore limited power to Galactica's engines. When Croft attempts the dangerous final connection that could either restore power or cause a catastrophic explosion, Sheba refuses his order to seek safety, insisting she might be needed to help.

Her decision proves crucial when Croft becomes electrocuted during the repair process. Despite being knocked backward by an electrical shock, Sheba recovers and manages to pull Croft's hands away from the live wires, saving his life. The successful repair allows Galactica to regain maneuverability and turn the tide of the battle against the attacking Cylons.

After the crisis, Sheba volunteers to join the search party when Boxey goes missing aboard Galactica. Despite having just endured the harrowing engine room experience, she eagerly volunteers alongside Starbuck and Croft for the search mission.
