'''Madusa''' is the primary mental health officer aboard ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' in {{Alt|7351}}, known for her "tough love" approach to counseling.
She is one of the many women who falls for [[Starbuck (TOS alternate)|Starbuck]]'s charms, sharing her belief to Ishtara―who seeks to ground Starbuck as she fears for his mental health―that Starbuck is honest about his fears of the Cylons after the loss of their homeworlds ({{Comics|Fear of Flying}}).
 
She finds herself the target of {{alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}}'s various attentions that she successfully rebukes, and later notes the increasing number of crew members aboard ''Galactica'' who experience vivid dreams of {{alt|Earth|TOS}} ({{comics|vol2|7}}). While such dreams are later found to be those [[Psionic|projected]] by [[Xam]] ({{comics|vol2|9}}), the various crises that follow also lead a worn-down {{alt|Adama|TOS}} to confide in her that he wishes to step aside. Madusa assists him in finding a replacement commander, which are kept in mind following Adama's recovery and mental renewal that lead to the successful engagement of the battle known as [[Adama's Gambit]] ({{comics|vol2|11}}). 
 
In {{Alt|7358}}, she calls upon Starbuck following Xam's partial recovery, sharing with him a digital touchpad that contains the coordinates of ''[[Taurella]]'', a ship lost within the first [[yahren]] of the exodus ({{comics|doa|1}}). 
 
Following Major {{alt|Apollo|TOS-DE}}'s [[Rescue of Apollo|rescue from Cylon hands]] wherein he suffers a potentially terminal brain condition, she assists him with his psychological needs during his emotionally-charged transition from Warrior life to officer life ({{comics|doa|5}}).
