[[File:TheoWhittaker2.png|thumb|150px|left|Whittaker on duty.]] Theo enrolled at Starfleet Academy at the age of eighteen, studying on the Engineering track and specializing in warp mechanics and theory. For the most part he was a model student, with only one near infraction when caught breaking back into the Academy grounds after curfew (he talked his way out of punishment). In his 2nd year he was involved in a bar fight but no disciplinary action was taken due to the fact he responded in self defense and he had recently lost his father. He graduated following a final exam at the training facilities aboard [[Starbase 118]]. | [[File:TheoWhittaker2.png|thumb|150px|left|Whittaker on duty.]] Theo enrolled at Starfleet Academy at the age of eighteen, studying on the Engineering track and specializing in warp mechanics and theory.

Following his graduation, he was assigned as an Engineering Officer aboard the ''Columbia''. He came aboard the ship and was put to work straight away as a [http://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php/USS_Columbia_Past_Mission#Mission_III:_.22Between_the_Rock_and_a_Hard_Place.22_.28Fleet_Wide_Mission_-_Phase_1.29|rogue AI commandeered partial command of the ship]. Theo managed to build a rapport with the AI, who turned out to be the mind of a seven year old human girl codenamed "Providence". He was present when they discovered "Mercy"- a deadly weapons delivery system that had been secretly developed without Federation approval. Providence was all but lost at the conclusion of the mission, leaving Theo deeply troubled. | Following his graduation, he was assigned as an Engineering Officer aboard the ''Columbia''.

During this time he befriended and confided in [[Oori, Nuvia| Nuvia Oori]] who helped him come to terms with events and reminded him of why he joined Starfleet. For his conduct during the mission he was awarded the Prometheus and First Contact ribbons and promoted to Lieutenant (JG). | ||
After Columbia recieved orders to investigate a series of accidents on Avronis V- a Romulan world notorious for being a contaminated antimatter disposal site- Whittaker began to notice odd occurences aboard the ship. The weapon system's targeting sensors were misaligned- even though he and Oori had repaired them after the previous mission and potentially explosive cargo that should have been stored were placed together. He brought his findings before acting Captain [[Brek| Lieutenant Commander Brek]] who arranged for Columbia to depart Starbase 118 immediately (since it was suspected members of the base's support staff may have had a hand these events). Susequently assigned to modify three shuttles for use on Avronis, Whittaker and Oori then discovered suspected sabotage to the shuttles and their additional power cells. | |||
