RELATIONSHIPS

Personal

Vojana Minerva Satscher Dickens is Marcus wife and one of the most important persons in his life. She was the first woman that really felt attracted to him to the point of sharing his secret about Kelrod's presence

Marthia Sylkar is a scientist that had been with Marcus for some years, working under his orders when he's been Chief Science Officer. They've a friendship that founds on the like for science and a common view of science in Starfleet. Despite some insinuations, their only relationship is one of friendship and confidence.

T'Lea was the former Chief Science Officer in Dickens's first posting on board the USS COLUMBIA. There they started a relationship that has lasted through time and space. Different destinations, years, relationships, but they still share that friendship that leaves the uniform behind, one that could make Marcus travel thousands of light years if she needed it.

Professional

Della Vetri His actual captain and someone with whom he seemed to have connected in the way they see a ship must be run. Their respective relationships with T'Lea made them even a bit closer, more when she's in or making troubles.
