• Voice Actor: Randall Glass (episode 10); Burnie Burns thereafter

• Status: Alive

Vic, also known as Vic Jr., is an AI that works for command whose computer terminal is located under Blood Gulch. He takes the personality of a sardonic and frequently unhelpful communications officer. Unknown to either team, he serves as a contact for both the Blue and Red Teams. Tucker eventually discovers this, when he accidentally intercepts a communication between Sarge and Vic. However, no member of either team believes Tucker, and he is knocked unconscious shortly after he makes the discovery. Vic then contacts Sarge and warns him against listening to what Tucker says. Vic works with O'Malley to some degree, and O'Malley hires Wyoming to kill Tucker in order to preserve the secret that Red and Blue are the same.

Vic Jr. originally appears at the end of Episode 71, when Church accidentally contacts him via radio, and he claims to be a descendant of the original Vic. Doc wonders how Vic was able to have descendants, as he had previously mentioned his vasectomy. Toward the beginning of Season 5, Church attempted to contact Vic Jr. for reinforcements, but Vic was not at his post and his message box turned out to be full after a lengthy and nonsensical set of instructions. He later contacted Church, telling him to immediately attack the Red base, going through the caves, then hanging up before Church could get any more information. Not long after, he is contacted by the Reds, but hangs up when he notices Simmons arriving at the surveillance console in the caverns. Simmons, unaware of who Sarge was talking to, says that Vic Jr. must be in the caverns somewhere. In Episode 99, Flowers is seen standing in front of the computer screen talking to Vic Jr. He appears in an alternate ending, where Sarge calls him for reinforcements. Vic Jr. tells Sarge that he ruined the plan by destroying the ship, making Sarge destroy the underground computer in anger.

Vic behaves like an annoying, ineffective technical support guy, constantly calling people "dude" and often offering obtuse and unhelpful advice and biting insults. Burnie Burns notes that Vic was portrayed as over-the-top annoying from Episode 20 so the character would be memorable to viewers.

Burnie Burns notes that the mystery surrounding Vic and Vic Jr. was deliberately left unexplained, as the crew felt that sufficient information had been given already for fans to draw their own conclusions. Based on information discovered by the main characters towards the end of Revelation, it is implied that Vic and Vic Jr. are the same, and Vic simply pretended he was his own descendant to fool the Red and Blue teams into thinking they were in the future.
