==Plot==
*Coming Soon

==Synopsis==
[[Buck Rogers|Buck]], [[Wilma Deering|Wilma]] and [[Twiki]] are assigned duty aboard the ''[[Searcher]]'', a long distance space probe. Under the command of [[Admiral Asimov]], the ship sets out to find various groups of humans that left Earth in ships before [[w:c:memoryalpha:World War III|World War III]]. Buck's first adventure aboard the ''Searcher'' begins when they find a nearly-destroyed spaceship, whose last living crew member reveals that a bird-like man named [[Hawk]] attacked and destroyed their ship. In retaliation for the destruction of his tribe by humans, the bird-man has vowed to destroy any and all humans he comes across. Buck tracks Hawk down to the planet [[Throm]], when he captures [[Koori]], Hawk's mate. Koori sends out a message to Hawk, who arrives to battle Buck to the death.

==Notes==
*Originally aired as a 120-minute episode, but has been formatted as two 60-minute episodes in most subsequent re-airings for scheduling reasons. While many guides list it as a two-parter, its initial airing and release on DVD as one double-length episode should make this the official recognition.
*During his fireside conversation with Buck, Hawk lists several bird species that have (as of the 25th century) gone extinct due to human folly: The Passenger Pigeon, Giant Stork, Bald Eagle, Condor. As of 2022, only the passenger pigeon is extinct. The others remain endangered or threatened. The California Condor was declared extinct only in the wild in 1987.  However, captured  individuals were reintroduced and the species was reclassified as critically endangered. Although there are extinct members of the stork family, they lived during the Pleiocene 2.5 million years ago. Modern species are endangered.
*[[w:c:memoryalpha:Barbara Luna|Barbara Luna]] is known to [[w:c:memoryalpha:Star Trek|''Star Trek'']] fans as both [[w:c:memoryalpha:Marlena Moreau|Marlena Moreau]] and her [[w:c:memoryalpha:Marlena Moreau (mirror)|mirror universe counterpart]] from the [[w:c:memoryalpha:Star Trek: The Original Series|''Star Trek: The Original Series'']] episode "[[w:c:memoryalpha:Mirror, Mirror (episode)|Mirror, Mirror]]".
