Hobbies and Interests

Thanks to her mother's influence, Kaitlyn has taken a strong interest in piloting. Her first job working when working with her brother was as his ship's pilot. To keep her skills sharp, she keeps a large number of holodeck simulations. She'll fly any craft, air or space, from as many different cultures as she can find. Through them she finds great enjoyment, vital practice, and a relatively safe place to test out whatever insane idea that enters her mind.

As with most of her family, Kaitlyn has some degree of musical ability. Her singing voice tends to settle around a high alto, and she has demonstrated good abilities with piano. She acquired a full size keyboard some years ago, but it has remained on her brother's freighter. She plans to get it back from it when they bump into each other next.

During her time at Starfleet Academy, Kaitlyn found herself developing an interest in one of her mother’s hobbies; rock climbing. Kaitlyn constructed a pair of climbing claws to wear on her forearms, along with a powerful fusion piton gun for emergencies.

Recently, Kaitlyn acquired a pet Syrian hamster she named Rhino. While the pair are still getting to know one another, Rhino appears to trust Kaitlyn, allowing her to reach into his cage and then calmly walking onto her hand. He has also demonstrated a basic understanding of gravity, and that should he attempt to walk off of Kaitlyn's shoulder he would quickly find the floor. His irritation of life aboard a starship was greatly reduced after Kaitlyn upgraded his cage with its own inertial dampener.

Personal History

Kaitlyn Falcon was born aboard the USS Freedom-A during the end of the Dominion War. She was raised aboard the ship with her three siblings, learning to enjoy the thrill of exploration and the dangers that came with, at least as much as any kid aboard a Federation starship could. Kaitlyn was especially close to her twin sister, Rebecca. While not physically identical, they tended to act more alike than their other siblings.

As time went on, each of the children started on their separate paths. Alice was drawn to Starfleet, while James preferred a life where he could make his own rules. While Alice excelled at the Academy, James quickly gained great success piloting a Raven-Class starship modified into a tramp freighter, the SS Nova. When the time came to Rebecca and Kaitlyn to choose their paths, Rebecca followed the path to Starfleet. The decision was harder for Kaitlyn. All her life, she had been told she was just like her twin sister. Interested as she might had been in Starfleet, the need to be different influenced her to join with her brother.

Life on the fringes of Federation space was... interesting, to say the least. She learned to fly a bulky freighter as if it were an agile fighter, patch damaged systems back together with baling wire, duct tape, and a plasma torch, and shoot pirate raiding parties from the hip with her brother's modified phase pistols. As Kaitlyn would later put it, she got to see the parts of the Federation that weren't on the tour. She, her brother, and Nichole, a teenage girl stowaway James later adopted as his daughter earned respect from many of the traders in the outskirts of Federation space, and the ire of several pirate organizations, including the Orion Syndicate.

Not long after Rebecca's graduation from Starfleet Academy, Kaitlyn, James, and Nichole joined the family in a mission vital to the security of the Alpha Quadrant. *MISSION DETAILS CLASSIFIED LEVEL TEN.* After returning to Federation space, Kaitlyn started to wonder if her decision to remain a civilian had been the right one. Much as she loved her brother and Nichole, they were not exactly working toward high ideals.

Her decisions were again questioned in late 2385, when the Nova was once again called to assist the family. *MISSION DETAILS CLASSIFIED LEVEL TEN.* The final straw came with her final job with the Nova in 2386. A meeting with an old friend of James's went sour, Kaitlyn winding up an unwilling 'guest' of the Orion Syndicate. Though extremely good luck, she managed to escape her bindings and signal James and Nichole, then beat the ever living crap out of anyone who stood between her and freedom. Though she escaped with only a few scars, Kaitlyn knew she could work on the fringes no longer. Much as she loved James and Nichole, Kaitlyn knew that she could no longer work with them. They brought her to Earth, where their parents were stationed.

Kaitlyn spent a great deal of time speaking with her parents, her sisters, and friends of their family. In the end, she concluded that she needed the sort of camaraderie, challenge, and goals that only Starfleet could provide. While she was older than was typical for joining, the recommendations from her family were enough to gain her admission.

Her time at Starfleet Academy was a relatively calm period of her life. She frequently remembered her youth on the Freedom, recapturing feeling of excitement and adventure from the times exploring with her siblings. Quickly she felt at ease, and felt like she had truly come home.

Upon her graduation, she was assigned to USS Vigilant. Her first mission brought great challenges in a difficult first contact mission to the planet Asav. Kaitlyn not only put her Starfleet training to the test, but also brought back the skills she had learned working with her brother aboard the Nova. While the mission was difficult, with Kaitlyn seeming to stare death in the face on more than one occasion, she felt more complete than she had in a very long time.

Her next mission aboard Vigilant took her to the Duronis II Embassy, where Vigilant's crew assisted with repelling a bluegill infestation. The battle was tough, with Kaitlyn utilizing much of her combat skills honed from years in the Federation's fringes. Though they took casualties, they succeeded.
