Theo Whittaker: Difference between revisions

*'''[[Missing In Action (Columbia)]]''': Newly promoted to Captain, Theo is reassigned to command his beloved [[USS Columbia]] along with the crew of the [[USS Blackwell]]. After two separate confrontations with Professor Olivia Sellards over the defensive emplacements installed during the construction of [[Dehner Base]] leaves him restless and annoyed, Theo- over the initial objects of new first officer Lieutenant Commander [[Jarred Thoran]]- takes his captain's yacht, the [[USS Kumari]] out for a test drive arguing that he has not logged an hour of space flight in an auxiliary vessel for over a year. Several hours after departure, the Kumari crash lands on a M-18138512, a planet in a star system near to the Solerian Rift on the edge of the [[Sagittarius Reach]]. Theo is not that injured by the rough crashing landing, but his security escort is and needs urgent medical attention back aboard the USS Columbia- who have only just begun to search for their missing CO. Shortly after coming to, an unknown human-looking stranger rips the outer doors off of the Kumari and then boards her, knocking Theo out once again. Regaining consciousness in a cave, he discovers he is now under guard and separated from Lieutenant Haneer and Crewman Skalvok and encounters Adlynn Verne, the leader of a group of humans that he comes to realise are Augments descended from the genetic super-soldiers who ruled much of Earth during the Eugenics Wars of the 20th century. He repeatedly denies her request for Starfleet technology, even going as far as to lie to her. She refuses his explanation that Starfleet is on a mission of exploration and continues to do even when is backed up by members of a rescue team from the Columbia. He orders [[Luna Walker]] to stand down when she becomes hostile towards Verne and allows Mirra to remain in command given his compromised state.

*'''[[Mirra Ezo]]''': [[File:Ezo, Mirra.png|150px|thumb|Doctor Mirra Ezo]]Theo and Mirra were junior colleauges aboard the [[USS Columbia|U.S.S. Columbia (NCC-85279)]] with Mirra joining the crew several weeks after Theo. She was the physician who treated Theo's injuries when he was assaulted by a being who claimed to be an Iconian who was seeking to drive Columbia and the Romulans from [[Avronis V]]. Their friendship, which has become a defining trait of both, truly began in the wake of Columbia's assignment to Hemix I and their first encounter with the Bolian criminal Chennel. Theo saved Mirra from an attack by a species of moth that fed on biological electrical energy and in turn, she saved and treated Theo from Chennel who had tortured him as a form of leverage in negociations with Columbia's commanding officer, [[Brek]]. The two remained friends following Columbia's reassignment, although were reunited when Mirra transferred to [[Starbase 118 Ops|Starbase 118 Operations]]. Theo views Mirra as a sister, one he is fiercely protective over and the two can usually be found together in their off duty hours, either indulging in station gossip or simply spending time together. Theo has, on occasion, 'borrowed' Mirra's beauty products for his own use. When Theo's relationship with [[Baylen Anders]] falls apart, Mirra was one of the first people he turned to for support and comfort and when he is made Acting Commanding Officer of the station, he did not hesitate in appointing her his Acting Executive Officer, knowing that there was no else aboard the station that he trusted more. Mirra later took a leave of absence without warning due to her experiences at the hands of Chennel who had invaded the station. During his first assignment aboard the [[USS Blackwell|Blackwell]] he was reunited with Mirra and they resumed their friendship, with her serving as a [[Diplomatic Officer]].
