<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Image:Lifemask.jpg|thumb|right|A woman uses a breather to provide oxygen and prevent smoke inhalation ([[Fire in Space]]).]]<br />
'''Breathers''' (also called '''life masks''') are a type of life-support gear worn by [[Viper (TOS)|Viper]] pilots ([[Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I]]) and people who need to operate in different atmospheres ([[The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I]]).<br />
<br />
[[Boomer (TOS)|Boomer]] and the others trapped in the [[rejuvenation center]] use breathers to breathe despite the presence of the intense smoke. They later use the breathers to survive the vacuum when [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]]'s plan to extinguish the fire is put into action ([[Fire in Space]]).<br />
<br />
Malfunctioning breather gear causes the operator to suffer from [[w:asphyxia|asphyxia]]. As [[Jolly (TOS)|Jolly]] is landing on ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'', Boomer assumes that his poor approach and subsequent landing are caused by his breather gear "leaking [[carbide]]" ([[Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I]]).<br />
<br />
== Portable breathers ==<br />
<br />
There are portable breathers, which apparently refine the air through an unknown process or processes, as there is no air supply attached ([[The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I]]).<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
<br />
* The breather props featured in "[[The Gun on Ice Planet Zero]]" were used in the ''[[w:Buck Rogers in the 25th Century|Buck Rogers in the 25th Century]]'' episode "[http://www.buckrogers.org/episode.cfm?episode=11 Cosmic Whiz Kid]," when Hieronymous Fox ([[w:Gary Coleman|Gary Coleman]]) and Dea Zertan (Melody Rogers) are gassed in an elevator at the beginning of the episode. <br />
