Direct access from "the neighborhood" to certain key areas of the ship, for example, the bridge, is not permitted. John's apartment is spacious and efficiently laid out, consisting of a central sitting area with a small workstation in one corner and a dining area with food replicator an the opposite corner. A doorway leads to a sleeping area and bathroom. | ||

Much of John's adult life has been spent working in societies in decay. This has taken a toll on him, and though he would not describe himself as jaded or cynical, people who don't know him well might mistakenly see his pragmatism as such. He objects to the disdain most humans (and others) have toward the Federation's historical "enemies," namely the Romulans and the Cardassians. Having seen both societies in the aftermaths of being nearly wiped out, he sees them as suffering peoples worthy of compassion. Given the quite different attitude and experiences most others, especially Starfleet people, have, he tends to keep quiet whenever the subject of either race comes up for debate. | [[File:Mackellar4.jpg|thumb|300px|John Mackellar in the wilderness of Betazed with an old friend]]Much of John's adult life has been spent working in societies in decay.

The first decade of John Mackellar's upbringing took place in the framework of an ordinary, nuclear family, with two professional parents, three healthy and intelligent children, and a relatively comfortable life in a good home. The divorce of John's parents wasn't particularly traumatic, and both parents were better people for having separated from each other, but the subsequent changes that occurred were difficult for the eleven-year-old John to handle. Relocated from established surroundings on a well-developed planet such as Risa to the windswept plains and scattered settlements of New Melbourne, John was uncertain of where he belonged both amongst his peers, and his extended family. | |||

Just three years old when his parents separated, Mitch has virtually no memories of the family's time on Risa, and took to life on New Melbourne like a fish to water. So in love with the planet's way of life was Mitch that he pursued studies in animal husbandry in New Melbourne's technical institute, and upon turning twenty-one, set out to homestead a plot of vast, undeveloped New Melburnian arable land. Intelligent and resourceful, but possessing not a single desire for any kind of life beyond the handmade fences of his homestead, Mitch married a local girl called Agatha Whitney in 2382, and the couple dedicated themselves to a "traditional" New Melburnian life. They have five children: Claire (b. 2384), June (b. 2385), twins Mitchell, Jr., and Anthony (b. 2387) and Natalie (b. 2390). John envies his younger brother's contentment, and how well he fit into life in the colony, where John struggled to adapt, and ultimately left in frustration. | ||
