== Biography ==
Born on the colony world of Lunar Seven, then under the control of the Western Nationalists, Michael's childhood on the planet left his body adapted to its atmospheric density on 20% that of Terra and, as consequence, could never visit it. In his adult life, Michael worked as a Technocrat, and was father to one child, a girl named Melanie.Battlestar Galactica, episode: "Greetings from Earth".
When the Eastern Alliance began its conquest of Lunar Seven, Michael's computer skills made him a necessary part of an escape plan arranged by the father of Sarah, another colonist. Michael and Melanie soon escaped the colony on a shuttle, Avion, with Sarah and her three children bound for her father's farm on Paradeen. To conserve power and resources, they were placed in suspension, and while the Eastern Alliance was aware of their manifest and heading, they took little notice.
During the voyage, Avion was intercepted by Galactica, a warship crewed by Galactican refugees escaping a destroyed parallel human society. The timer on Michael's cocoon went off and he awoke to find the ship on its hanger deck, though believed himself to be on a planet. Overcome by the high Oxygen density, equal to that of Terra, Michael passed out after shooting a security guard, and was taken away to recuperate. He would wake up later back on Avion, surrounded by Galactica crewmen who were arranging for the shuttle's launch. Reluctantly, he agreed to take them to Paradeen, which had been attacked by the Eastern Alliance some time earlier. The following day Michael and the Galacticans took off in search of one of their number, Lt. Starbuck, who had gotten lost in the city's underground searching for computer archives of value. While under the city, the learnt from another group of survivors that an Eastern Alliance destroyer had landed and its crew were interrogating Sarah. Michael assisted in the ambush at the farm, thus keeping the refugee community safe from extermination.
