'''[[Between the Rock and a Hard Place (Columbia)|"Between the Rock and a Hard Place"]]''': Arriving aboard the Columbia while on assignment in orbit of [[Piktar system/Piktar II|Piktar II]], the new ensign was put to work immediately by [[Livingston, Benjamin| Captain Benjamin Livingston]] to help decipher a musical communication transmitted by a [[Ferengi]] vessel also operating within the Piktar System. The communication was discovered to be a delivery system that housed a dangerous artificial intelligence/cybernetic lifeform called Providence that used Columbia's holo-emitters to appear as seven year old human girl. Theo and security officer [[Tatash|Ensign Tatash]] managed to initiate first contact with Providence who revealed her purpose was to integrate a weapons system known as 'Mercy' into her programme and that she was initially created to care for starship crews before having her programming perverted. Theo and Tatash helped Captain Livingston persuade Providence into helping them instead of carrying out her mission. However, her creator began to decompile her programme having been apprehended by an away team on Piktar II, and Theo was only able to save 10% of her original programming. Discovering that [[Starfleet]] had sanctioned Providence's creation and that a secret sub-section of the organisation had carried out the subsequent modifications, Theo was deeply troubled although he was counselled by fellow engineer [[Oori, Nuvia|Nuvia Oori]]. For his efforts during the mission he received a promotion to Lieutenant (Junior Grade). | '''[[Between the Rock and a Hard Place (Columbia)|"Between the Rock and a Hard Place"]]''': Arriving aboard the Columbia while on assignment in orbit of [[Piktar system/Piktar II|Piktar II]], the new ensign was put to work immediately by [[Livingston, Benjamin| Captain Benjamin Livingston]] to help decipher a musical communication transmitted by a [[Ferengi]] vessel also operating within the Piktar System.

'''[[Paved with Good Intentions (Columbia)|"Paved with Good Intentions"]]''': When Columbia is assigned to revisit the Romulan world of [[Avronis V]] following a request for help (which led to Captain Livingston venturing there on his own), Theo and Oori are assigned to modify a trio of shuttles that will be able to operate within the planet's toxic, radiation afflicted atmosphere while also offering improved speed and agility in case of a Tal Shiar presence. Theo uncovered a number of dangerous oversights on the apparent part of [[Starbase 118]] staff as well as sabotaged shuttle systems, which lead to [[Brek|Lieutenant Commander Brek]] to expidite their departure fearing that someone was attempting to prevent them from reaching Avronis | '''[[Paved with Good Intentions (Columbia)|"Paved with Good Intentions"]]''': When Columbia is assigned to revisit the Romulan world of [[Avronis V]] following a request for help (which led to Captain Livingston venturing there on his own), Theo and Oori are assigned to modify a trio of shuttles that will be able to operate within the planet's toxic, radiation afflicted atmosphere while also offering improved speed and agility in case of a Tal Shiar presence. Theo uncovered a number of dangerous oversights on the apparent part of [[Starbase 118]] staff as well as sabotaged shuttle systems, which lead to [[Brek|Lieutenant Commander Brek]] to expidite their departure fearing that someone was attempting to prevent them from reaching Avronis. Investigating an open Jeffries Tube hatch on Deck 3 (another security lapse), Theo is viciously assaulted by a cloaked intruder who leaves him for dead as it flees. He is found by Oori and [[Ezo, Mirra|Ensign Mirra Ezo]] where his severe maxillofacial trauma and other injuries are repaired by [[MacLaren, Johanna Diedre|Doctor Johanna MacLaren]]. While recuperating, Theo comes up with an idea to use the holo emitters to detect cloaked intruders- although the intruder is apprehended before they are modified. Brek then has Theo cleared for duty so he can help to plan a covert operate to destroy an Iconian Gateway on Avronis at the behest of beings claiming to be Iconian. While installing a cloaking device- obtained from Tal Shiar prisoners- on a shuttle, Theo meets [[Flynn, Antero|Antero Flynn]] for the first time and is immediately attracted to him (although he fails to realise this). The covert mission is a complete success. For his devotion to duty, Theo is promoted to full Lieutenant and becomes Columbia's Chief Engineer. | ||
'''[[Forces Of Nature]]''': Theo was still coming terms with his recent assault and also dealing the sudden departure of his friend [[Tatash]] when Columbia was assigned to investigate the planet Hemix in the distant [[Skalur Expanse]] as part of Operation Knife Point. An island on the planet, previous reported as barren by the [[Romulan Republic]], had spontaneously developed a complex eco system. Theo was assigned to accompany new Intelligence Director [[Nugra|Captain Nugra]] and Security Chief [[Kelly, Tyler|Lieutenant Commander Tyler Kelly]] on an intelligence gathering away team to investigate reports that pirates were using the island as a base of operations. | |||
