During the events of Wing Commander (1999) played by Saffron Burrows

Deveraux walks up and starts asking Blair what he would do in different combat scenarios and when Blair gets both answers wrong, he gives a backhand comment about taking tips from a mechanic and Deveraux reveals herself to be his Wing Commander. Deveraux walks into the mess hall and tells Blair and Hunter to stop fighting. She explains to Blair that once someone dies, everyone acts like they never existed to avoid facing the reality that they too will probably die in combat. Later, Forbes brings Deveraux a glass of liquor and thanks her for stopping the Flight Boss from bringing her and Maniac up on charges. Deveraux and Blair scout an asteroid field and find a communication module and are forced to fight a pair of Kilrathi fighters when they scan Deveraux's ship. Blair walks into Deveraux's room and tells her he isn't a Pilgrim and he keeps the cross as a reminder of his dead parents. She tells him that her parents died when she was young. Deveraux briefs her pilots and when she tells Hunter that Blair will be his wingman, Hunter tells her he doesn't want a Pilgrim as his wingman and she assigns Blair as her wingman. While about to attack the communication module, Paladin tells Deveraux to abort the mission and reveals himself to be an officer in naval intelligence, and the Kilrathi ships are nothing but discards. Deveraux and her fighters arrive and engage the Kilarthi. Deveraux lands and orders Hunter to give her his gun. She then threatens to kill Maniac,after Forbes is killed, if he ever endangers any pilot again. Blair tells Deveraux that she needs to forgive Maniac. As their fuel supplies start to run low, Paladin comes up with an idea to steal fuel cells from the Kilrathi ship. Blair, Deveraux, Paladin, Gerald and a group of marines land on the Kilrathi communication ship and fight their way to the fuel cells and helm. Blair then finds the Pegasus Navcom. Paladin suggests Blair go to deliver the coordinates with Deveraux as his backup. Deveraux and Blair then leave to deliver the coordinates. A skipper missile is launched against the Tiger Claw and Deveraux goes back to shoot it. She manages to destroy the missile, but her ship is damaged in the process. She then orders Blair to complete the mission. Blair returns to the Tiger Claw and watches as Paladin brings Deveraux onto the launch pad. She wakes up and she and Blair kiss. The Medic then comes and takes her to sick bay.
