The pair maintained a friendship that is usually supportive, occasionally antagonistic, and always good-natured. Their friendship showed signs of a deeper connection, when Talia assisted Nolen in learning to manage his heightened empathic senses. Eventually, this developed into a high-stakes game of "flirt chicken," neither wanting to be the one to blink and commit. Eventually, Nolen caved and tried to kiss Talia, but any further development was indefinitely interrupted by an untimely summons to the Captain's Ready Room.

Nolen is at his best when he is solving a technical problem, devising gadgets, breaking equipment down, and building it back up. He is far from his best when he is engaged in conversation with other sentient beings, be they telepathic or not. When not fully engaged in a task, Hobart can be distant and distracted, his mind apt to wander to the things he's good at. Accordingly he is more likely to lock himself in a maintenance closet than take advantage of shore leave. To the extent that he makes active use of his empathic abilities, Nolen applies them as a survival instinct: a sort of "early warning" system for social interactions he'd rather avoid.

Line 81: Line 81:
As a teenager, Nolen began to resent his empathic abilities. Describing a "haze" of emotion that only he (and his mother) experienced, he struggled with a sense of isolation brought on by being surrounded by others. Pain, anguish, joy, hate, love, loss, and lust were equally oppressive to his mind. The emotional trauma suffered by his mother (and broadcast to his mind alone) was especially offensive to young Nolen. Through the help of the station's counselors, Nolen managed to get through depression and rage, but never quite escaped his resentment, or fully accepted his powers.

It was at this time that he began to focus on machines. Tinkering became a pastime and consumed his every waking hour outside of his schooling. This eventually got him into some amount of trouble, and earned him a juvenile criminal record. Despite this, it also provided a path forward, as Omar encouraged Nolen to focus on this budding talent as a path to a career in [[Starfleet]]. With the help of his father and Commander Hael, that is what he did.{{Heading|Service History|Gold}}Nolen entered [[Starfleet Academy]] in 2396 and quickly distinguished himself academically. His technical skills carried over well from his childhood hobbies, and in his early semesters he sampled a variety of subjects through his electives. In his second year, he elected to enroll in [[Starfleet Academy Survival Training/Tactics|Tactics: Combat, Marksmanship]] and [[Starfleet Academy Survival Training/Tactics|Tactics: Small Units]] and earned high praise from his instructors for a quick and firm grasp of all matters related to theory.

With the help of his father and Commander Hael, that is what he did.
 
On Stardate 240001.12, Cadet Hobart boarded the USS ''Turneville'' for transfer to [[Starbase 118]] for his final training cruise. On Stardate 240001.24, he graduated and was immediately assigned to serve aboard the [[USS Arrow|USS ''Arrow'']] as its [[Engineering (Duty Post)|Engineering Officer]].
 
On Stardate 240001.24, Ensign Hobart arrived aboard aboard the [[USS Arrow|USS ''Arrow'']]. He served honorably in the ''Arrow''<nowiki/>'s raid against a Sheliak mining facility referred to as the "Hexagon," and was accordingly awarded the Good Conduct Ribbon.
 
On Stardate 240004.05, as [[Connor Dewitt|Lieutenant Dewitt]] departed to serve as attaché aboard the USS ''Libris'', Ensign Hobart assumed the temporary role of Chief Engineer in his absence, and for his conduct would be awarded the Legion of Merit. In the wake of an ionizing phenomenon from a nearby nebula in the region known as "the Swamp," Ensign Hobart coordinated damage control measures before departing on a rescue mission to the crippled ''Libris'' alongside [[Jacin Ayemet|Lieutenant Jacin Ayemet]] and [[Ceilidh Slipka|Ensign Ceilidh Slipka]]. Aboard the ''Libris'', Jacin and Hobart retrieved a surviving cadet before regrouping with a number of ''Arrow'' officers in Main Engineering, and returning to the ''Arrow''.
 
On Stardate 240005.18, in the midst of the [[USS Arrow|USS ''Arrow'']]'s shoreleave on [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Freecloud Freecloud], Ensign Hobart remained aboard to conduct the planned and approved overhaul of the ship's EPS grid, until, after losing a bet with [[Artinus Serinus|Lieutenant Commander Artinus Serinus]], then head of Security, he ventured to the planet's surface in search of a rare bottle of wine for the Lieutenant Commander's collection. At the end of shoreleave and prior to embarkation on the ''Arrow''<nowiki/>'s next mission, [[Randal Shayne|Captain Randal Shayne]] promoted Hobart to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade.
 
On Stardate 240007.17, Lieutenant Junior Grade Hobart embarked on an away mission to the planet of Naz. In the wake of an earthquake, Hobart found himself swallowed and buried in a cavern beneath the planet's surface with the rest of the away team, with injuries to his ribs. Further earthquakes caused Hobart, along with [[Quentin Collins|Lieutenant Commanders Quentin Collins]] and [[AJ Cregg]], to be separated from the rest of the away team, but he safely navigated the network of tunnels beneath the planet's surface to escape. For his actions, he would be awarded a second Legion of Merit.


On Stardate 240009.05, [[Karrod Niac|Commander Karrod Niac]] underwent the [[Trill]] ritual of Zhian'tara, in which friends or family serve as temporary hosts to a Trill [[symbiont]]'s past iterations and allow a joined Trill to commune in a direct conversation. Lieutenant Junior Grade Hobart participated in the ceremony, and served as host for [[Morgan, Adriana|Commander Adriana Morgan]], a Betazoid woman who had served with Commander Niac on the [[USS Excalibur-A|USS ''Excalibur''-A]]. In an incident involving recovered alien technology, Commander Morgan's consciousness had briefly occupied Commander Niac's body, and in that time had imprinted upon the Niac symbiont.<center>{{Service Record}}

On Stardate 240010.01, the [[USS Arrow|USS ''Arrow'']] encountered a derelict space station. When an away team vanished without a trace, the ''Arrow'' launched a probe to investigate a previously unknown temporal anomaly. In order to better control the probe, Lieutenant Junior Grade Hobart, along with [[Jacin Ayemet|Lieutenant Jacin Ayemet]] and [[Chloe Waters|Lieutenant Commander Chloe Waters]], modified Waters' "crown" to serve as a control interface to the crown, and as a transmission receiver. For his actions he was awarded the Innovation Ribbon.
