En route to [[Genesia]] for a five day stay, {{Buck}} and [[Wilma Deering]] pilot [[Rogers' shuttle]] to [[Theta Station]], commanded by an old acquaintance of Deering's named [[Royko]], to deliver [[Twiki]] so that his faulty [[microdisc]] can be repaired. After docking, a [[I.S. Demeter|derelict spaceship]] exits [[Stargate 9]] and crashes into the station, compromising the station's integrity. Theta's personnel, with Rogers and Deering, investigates and discovers the remains of the crew. Through a review of the captain's log, a [[EL-7|deadly virus]] from [[Deneb V]] is blamed, particularly after the death of a passenger named [[William Helson]] and the mysterious damage to Helson's [[servo drone]]... | |||

**The spaceship is named ''[[I.S. Demeter|Demeter]]''. | |||

== Questions == | |||
* As Twiki sees the [[servo drone]]'s footage of Helson's fight with the Vorvon, why can ''his'' memory units be checked to corroborate Rogers' story? Is this related, perhaps, to Twiki's faulty [[microdisc]]? | |||
* How long does the cellular suspension of the [[Vorvon]]'s [[Vorvon thrall|victims]] last? Is it related to proximity? | |||

Next Happy Birthday, Buck |
A space-age vampire stalks a lonely space station, and Buck must race to prevent Wilma from joining the ranks of the undead.
"Space Vampire" is the fourteenth episode of the 1st season of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
En route to Genesia for a five day stay, William "Buck" Rogers and Wilma Deering pilot Rogers' shuttle to Theta Station, commanded by an old acquaintance of Deering's named Royko, to deliver Twiki so that his faulty microdisc can be repaired. After docking, a derelict spaceship exits Stargate 9 and crashes into the station, compromising the station's integrity. Theta's personnel, with Rogers and Deering, investigates and discovers the remains of the crew. Through a review of the captain's log, a deadly virus from Deneb V is blamed, particularly after the death of a passenger named William Helson and the mysterious damage to Helson's servo drone...
Twiki, are you still upset because you're not going to visit Genesia with us?
Who, me?
After all, Twiki, the last time you and Hieronymus Fox got together, he almost punched out your capacitors.
Bidi-bidi-bidi-bidi. Kid can't take a joke.
I've had better conversations with a roto-rooter, you know.
Ever since entering that freighter, for the first time in my life, I can feel death as a tangible presence.
You're not trying to tell me these people were killed by some sort of vampire?
Vampire? I don't understand...
I don't think I do either, Doc.
