Background

Talby is a crew member of the scoutship Dark Star in galactic sector EB290. He and the other crew have been on their current mission for 20 years, but have only aged three.

During the events of Dark Star (1974) played by Dre Pahich, voice by John Carpenter

Talby radios Lieutenant Doolittle to tell him Bomb 19 successfully destroyed the planet, but can't reach anyone. Later, Doolittle brings breakfast to Talby and suggests he spend more time with the crew instead of being isolated. Talby tells Doolittle about the Phoenix Asteroids which circle the universe. Talby walks down to the computer room. Inside the computer room, Talby locates the ship's malfunction and tells Doolittle the malfunction is in the communications laser. Talby tries to tell Doolittle about the laser malfunction and that Bomb 20 won't properly drop, but Doolittle turns off his communication feed. The communication laser turns on and as Talby is trying to repair it, he is hit with a blast and is knocked unconscious when he falls into the path of the laser. Talby wakes up, but is flushed out of the airlock into space when Sergeant Pinback opens the emergency hatch. Doolittle flies after Talby. Bomb 20 detonates itself, causing the ship to explode. Doolittle falls towards the atmosphere of the rogue planet, while Talby is pulled into the Phoenix Asteroids.
