Manner
- Likes:
- Andorian Ale. First exposed to it during his drink with Lt. Commander Sharpe, he's discovered he a lightweight. He'll want to sleep if he drinks a whole bottle by himself, if he doesn't land in sickbay first.
- Dislikes:
- Toothy smiles. Not a commentary against all Gorn, but when Nugra smiles at him with all teeth, it makes him nervous. Similarly, when Pon Pon grins at him like that it's just creepy.
- Formal dress parties. He doesn't like wearing the dress-whites and gets nervous around large groups of people. Looks for a convenient excuse to leave quickly.
- Sedatives and painkillers. He understands their purpose, and doesn't mind them when he's truly in pain. Though having to spend most of a shuttle ride incapacitated by them before undergoing surgery wasn't fun.
Relationships
During his time at Starfleet Academy, he was a bit of an isolationist. Since his graduation, he hasn't shared much about his background with anyone.
Ayiana Sevo
Ayiana Yorval, before she became joined to the Sevo symbiont, was a regular correspondent of Cadfael's during his time at the academy through the Cadet Cultural Exchange Subspace Friend program.. Little did he know that Fate had a sense of humor and put the two of them together on the same ship, the USS Victory; where they met face to face for the first time.
Peters: I used to hit the 602 every night, drinking beer, doing homework, and constantly checking my padd to see if you had responded to the most recent letter. Talking to you was the most correspondence I got that wasn’t class related. Distant friends seemed closer than anyone else… :: Pause. :: Or I should say, friend. I think you were the only one I had.
:: Ayiana seemed taken aback at Peters’ admittance. ::
Sevo: I...had no idea you looked forward to them so much. Honestly I just saw it as an extracurricular assignment. You know - get to know other cultures and stuff. They really emphasized that on us since most of the students were Trill. Not many aliens with whom to intermingle.
During their second mission together, Cadfael had noticed how uncomfortable she was during the away mission due to the EVA suit. In the aftermath, he had a ruptured eardrum and she entered a coma. He sat by her side, and even put his favourite watch on her wrist, to let her know he was there.
When she woke up from a coma, she and Cadfael exchanged news of what happened after they returned from the mission. He told her of his promotion to chief followed by his subsequent hearing loss, and she returned his watch. In that same conversation, Cadfael had stated he was in love with her.
- During the following mission, he left for an away team. Just as the Victory was needing its chief engineer, he was getting transferred to the USS Darwin-A and was not able to say good bye to her. When he reported back to the Darwin, he received a letter from her stating that she started to feel something for him, beyond friendship. Finding out through an email was like a blow to the chest, and he hasn't recovered.
His relationship to Leland Bishop is that for now, they are acquaintances. After an already bad day, he encountered Mr. Bishop outside the Back 40 and the two exchanged words. They struck up a possible beginning to a friendship during the awards dinner, and Leland offered to cook at some point for him and Ayiana.
Friendship formed after their mission, during which time Cadfael used some ingenious engineering to bring the Sunak weapons online despite hearing loss. After the mission, he was promised a drink by the lieutenant commander. During that conversation, Cadfael discovered he likes Andorian Ale, but if left to his own devices he will either pass out from excess or land in sickbay if he doesn't have a drinking buddy.
Upon first meeting the Gorn captain, the human discovered he didn’t like toothy smiles because they made him nervous. Apparently, his performance during his first full mission was sufficient enough on the reports from several people to get the captain’s notice. Thus resulting in a random happenstance that got him promoted to chief engineer.
Cadfael got clocked in the face and temporarily lost hearing in his right ear before he met Vance on the promenade. A subsequent counseling session with the man for his annual evaluation led to Cadfael and Vance joining forces in a night of camaraderie and drinks, becoming fast friends. The first attempts for the counselor to play wingman involved Cadfael made an awkward pass at Vance, which was followed by two marks. The pass was quickly forgotten and they headed to another bar.
- They went to Kael's Pub, and both Vance and Cadfael found another couple of marks. The first one didn't pan out, but the second was a security officer that seemed to have a sense of humor. Vance took his leave at that point, and some followup may occur. At this time, it is unknown.
Pon Pon and Cadfael met during a temporal anomaly on the USS Dunbar. They reunited when Cadfael transferred to the starbase. The physical was a little bit awkward due to the doc landing on his chest, but it was quickly resolved. Afterwards, the two engaged in a bar crawl in which Pon Pon decided to take it upon himself to play matchmaker for the engineer.
His friendship with JC began when both men served aboard the USS Victory. They saw each other in passing, and occasionally hung out together. JC is introducing Cadfael to the concept of scuba diving in their off time, and they were separated for a time when Cadfael went to serve aboard the USS Darwin-A. To Cumar's surprise, he was the one sent to retrieve the engineer when it was known that he was coming to the starbase.

Mission Logs USS Victory
- Choices - 239111.10 - 239201.05: Cadfael transferred to alpha shift just in time to assist the away team in placing a few bombs. A grenade exploded nearby his location, rendering him half deaf during this away mission. They were rescued in the nick of time, and transported to the Lady Adventure for medical treatment because the Victory was out of range. When he got back aboard the Victory, he was treated by Dr. Talia Kaji for all the injuries he received both during the mission and the shoddy treatment at the hands of incompetent medical staff of the Adventure.
- What Happened At Luxix III 239202.01 - 239202.23: When he was helping with the Sunak, a weapon blast went off next to his left ear, thus resulting in the hearing loss. Even after receiving corrective treatment, he still had to rely on lip-reading and had to watch his balance to make sure no recurring problems happened as a result. He'd watched his best friend, Ayiana, recover from a coma and confessed his feelings to her before he was transferred to the Darwin.
Mission Logs USS Darwin
- The Lost Souls 239202.23 - 239204.03: His balance was still off, and he relied on lip-reading for a large portion of his job. His balance was also still off because of the fact that he was still feeling symptoms from BPPV. He had to ask Dr. Ilyazi Malon to get E.A.R.S surgery on his bad ear to hopefully alleviate the balance problem. The surgery was successful, then he had to assist the USS Dunbar with repairs and somehow phased into a time space anomaly. After spending a large portion of his time phased in between worlds, when he finally did get back into real time he didn't feel like he got anything done. He was ordered to a physical that never happened, then shipped off to Starbase 118 Ops.
Mission Logs Starbase 118 Ops
- The Cuckoo Child - 239204.03 - 239204.17: Arriving just in time to get punched in the face during riots and landed at Leo's feet. Moments later, he heard a loud ear-splitting scream caused by some sort of demon, he lost hearing in his right ear and collapsed. His balance was once again reduced to shreds, and when shore leave followed he didn't feel the symptoms of BPPV at all.
- The Gathering Storm - 239204.17 - 239207.04: The following mission, an explosion in Engineering caused him to black out as his hearing was once again destroyed. Dr. Pon Pon was able to revive him with a cocktail of drugs, and he accompanied the away team on an away mission. His only major reluctance was to assume the worst, in which case assuming that they'd all been killed after fifteen minutes. He refused to give up on his comatose friend on the Victory and wasn't about to give up on his colleagues. He managed to stay conscious until the away team returned to the shuttle, then blacked out from the pain as his stop-gap treatment from Dr. Pon Pon failed him, thus slipping into the bittersweet realm of unconsciousness. Once on the starbase, he was moved into the surgical deck for surgery the following morning. His E.A.R.S surgery for his right ear was a success.
- Never Mix Your Drinks - 239207.04 - Present: Cadfael makes a discovery about Golden Dew being explosive when mixed with terraforming chemicals.
