 — William "Buck" Rogers's messages meant for Houston Control, received (and commented upon) by Supervisor 14, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century's "Awakening"

Supervisor 14 is a shift leader overseeing the monitoring of Earth's "air space" in 2491 CE.

During his shift, a Delta Section Operative reports the interception of communications from William "Buck" Rogers—including "singing"—to this supervisor who, after receiving the report, initially believes the signals to be echoes of a prior pirate attack on their freighters. After being tied into Delta Section's communications array, he receives Rogers' various calls and admonishments for guidance from Houston Control as he is on final approach, noting that what he heard is "practically a foreign language" before the alert is sounded to Rogers' inbound craft, Ranger 3.

Col. Wilma Deering orders him to reduce the planetary defense shield to a distance of 100 miles rom Earth as she and her squadron intercepts Ranger 3 (BR25Film, "Awakening").
