Lieutenant Junior Grade '''Jocelyn "Jo" Marshall''' is currently serving as an '''Operations Officer''' aboard the {{USS|Gorkon}}.  
Commander '''Jo Marshall''' is a party-hard, mellow and strange [[Human]] currently serving as the '''Chief Operations Officer''' aboard the {{USS|Gorkon}}, the flagship of the [[Tyrellian Defence and Exploration Taskforce]]. The [[USS Gorkon]] is her first posting outside of Starfleet Academy and her Cadet Cruise. Life on the fringes of space between three factions of the Galaxy has not been an easy undertaking, to say the least. Jo has put as much of herself into the ship as possible, which includes, but is not limited to, blood, sweat, tears, and the occasional shared beer smooshed into the Cargo Bay deck plating.

==Personality==
 
: '''Temperament''': She doesn't take herself very seriously, prefers to break tensions, but will argue her point as well as any. When faced with a challenge, she'll play hard and play to win. Has a dark sense of humour and speaks sarcasm fluently. Resourceful and always trying to think a step ahead. Optimistic, not naïve. Tells outrageous jokes. Feels connected to music. She may seem disorganized sometimes, but there's a lot going on in her brain. A strong-hearted loyal friend. An undeniable smartass with a kind soul.
 
: '''Dislikes''': Time wasters, small talk, grudges, inactivity, failing.
 
: '''Carriage''': When busy, she walks with purpose, a woman on a mission. When relaxed, casual and slowed down a notch. Matches the speed of anyone she's walking with as she does tend to walk quickly without realizing it.
 
: '''Mannerisms''': Crosses her arms and chews on her lips when thinking. Runs her hands through her hair. Has her hands in her pockets when feeling relaxed. Tends to high-five and fist-bump people she likes.
 
: '''Quarters''': Shared with her partner, [[Erin Reynolds]]. Kept tidy, as much as possible, with a variety of personal effects of theirs. A springball is usually around somewhere she throws about when thinking. Holoimages of family and friends. Lots of plants to rival a greenhouse. Violet flower in the middle of the coffee table. A baby grand piano takes up one corner.
 
: '''Hobbies''': Plays springball, restores vintage motorcycles, listens to all kinds of music from everywhere. ''More on her Hobbies and Pastimes below, if you're interested''.


{{Heading|Appearance|Gold}}
: '''Religion/Spiritual Devotion''': None of note, though she tends to lean toward Bajoran spiritualism when times are tough. Usually, one or two words are thrown up toward any deity listening.

* '''Build''': Athletic
* '''Hair''': Dark Blonde/Brown
* '''Eyes''': Blue

** Vintage black jacket from Earth with United Kingdom patch on the arm.
* '''Voice''': English accent, gravelly, slips into Bajoran when she feels like it.


==Ambitions and Goals==


{{Heading|Personality|Gold}}
: '''Aspirations''': Not an overly ambitious person, Jo is happy doing her thing and contributing to her ship as much as possible. She serves under a great Rear Admiral she thoroughly respects and can't see herself anywhere else in the near future. As for goals, making it to 2340 would be nice.
* '''Hobbies''': Plays Springball, restores vintage motorcycles and cars, classical music (Earth 1960s through to modern)
* '''Religion/Spiritual Devotion''': None of note.
* '''Temperament''': Doesn't take herself very seriously, prefers to break tensions, will argue her point as good as any. When faced with a challenge, she'll play hard and play to win.
* '''Ambitions and goals''': Attaining a lead of a department, or a few more pips on her collar.
* '''Personal achievements and disappointments''':
** Graduating from Starfleet Academy in the top Engineering bracket.  
** Living in the "other universe", and surviving it, with the help of friends and the [[USS Yarahla|Yarahla Nine]].
* '''Carriage''': When busy, she walks with purpose, a woman on a mission. When relaxed, casual and slowed down a notch.
* '''Mannerisms''': Crosses her arms, leans on one leg, runs her hands through her hair, tends to chew on her lip when she's thinking, kicks boots up on desks wherever possible. She has her hands in her pockets when feeling relaxed. Tends to high-five and fist bump people she likes.
* '''Quarters''': Kept tidy, limited personal effects, a Springball usually around somewhere. Holoimages of her family, Academy Decathlon team, and her Bajoran Springball team are above her desk.  


: ''''Achievements''': Achievements are not something Jo tends to collect many of - usually forgoing accolades for anything in return for a beer in a quiet bar where shenanigans can commence. Living in the "other universe", and surviving it, with the help of friends and the [[USS Yarahla|Yarahla Nine]] is definitely up there with those achievements and life wins she has stashed away in her mind. While the year forged friendships and bonds like no other, it was still tough going and brought Jo to the brink of some questionable thoughts.


{{Heading|Personal History - Before Starfleet|Gold}}
==Relationships==


Growing up on a colony was one of the benefits of being a child of two Starfleet Officers. Jo was born on a starship, then raised on [[ma:Volan III|Volan III]] after the Dominion War. Her parents were deployed as part of Starfleet's ongoing efforts to maintain the demilitarised zone and repair some of the damage that had been caused during the occupation of Bajor. Many Bajorans that Jo encountered had first-hand experiences of the war and what it had done to their home and people. Growing up among adults that had seen the end of a war, witnessing many of the problems the Dominion had caused, formed Jo into a well-rounded individual from a young age.
: ''To see all the exciting relationships Jo has made in her short time on the [[USS Gorkon]], or to know exactly who has the patience to put up with her singular brand of lunacy, go to the Full Article: [[Jocelyn Marshall/Relationships|Relationships]]''


Seeing the end of the occupation meant a return to Federation standards of living and the Bajorans cultivated the colony to thrive. Jo enjoyed many pursuits in her young age, including travelling throughout the planet, mountain climbing, surfing and diving, as well as the national pastime of [[ma:Springball|Springball]]. Once she got a taste for the game, and the intricacies of shots, she was hooked. Playing throughout her school years and through her teenage life, sports and studies kept her busy. She was often seen running from one campus to another with her Springball glove or part of a machine she had disassembled from something. When she could compete on the tournament circuit, she started running competitions professionally, playing for Volan III at the championship matches. There was the initial option of prolonging her foray into professional sports, however, the call of a career in Starfleet was too strong.
Like one would collect [[ma:Springball|Springball]] player stickers, Jo collects people. That's not to say she reduces them to a two-dimensional state and glues them into books. She is a happy, party-hard Officer, and loves spending time with the people she truly cares about. She will encourage anyone to do some kind of karaoke on shore leave, or dance naked in the [[Trill]] forests while eating a taco. Approach with caution.


The interest in engineering she had taken started from a young age, under the influence of her mother and father, both Engineers in Starfleet within specialised fields. Her mother enrolled her in a part-time apprenticeship as she started her middle school years, working for the large mining operation within the mountains. On finishing school for the day, if there wasn't a sports practice, Jo would grab one of the worker shuttle transports to the mines and begin shadowing one of the many mining engineers, usually Bajoran. Within a few months she had picked up the Bajoran language and could work without the Universal Translator. She was a hard worker, being both focused and driven to finding new ways of accomplishing old tasks, and new solutions to recurring problems. Given her first motorcycle at fifteen, the first thing she did was take it apart to see how it all worked, before putting it back together and going for a spin up the mountain paths. This only fueled her drive to find bigger problems, bigger engineering tasks, in which only Starfleet could offer.

{{Heading|Personal History - Enlistment in Starfleet|Gold}}
==Likes and Dislikes==


After her enlistment into Starfleet Academy, Jo was a capable Engineer from the start and learned quickly. She chose to Major in Engineering, specifically Warp Theory, and minor in Operations to coincide with her abilities to multi-task. Taking on board her experience and talent for the work, she was deployed to the Fleet Operations Center to carry on her training while working on some of the most recent fleet vessels and technology in the field. Working tirelessly to prove herself in the Academy's arena, she became one of the leading new Engineers on graduation; a moment she is very proud of. Upon completion of her Cadet Cruise, she requested deployment to Starbase 118 Fleet.
===Hobbies===
:'''Springball:''' A hangover from her days playing professionally for Bajor, she tries to find new players to practice with or strong-arm her friends into a game.
:'''Mechanics:''' Engineering projects on the sidelines include maintenance of a motorcycle she enjoys taking out when they get a chance. 
:'''Tiny Plants:''' A recent addition to her hobby list is cultivating seedlings. She hasn't broadened her horizons past growing one at a time yet, out of fear she'll kill them all. Her quarters are now awash with the adopted plants of her partner, [[Erin Reynolds]], who supervises all her growing efforts.  
:'''Meditation/Yoga:''' When she needs less noise and more centring, she quiets her mind with meditation and yoga.
:'''Athleticism:''' She has maintained the habit of keeping fit from her days of professional sports and it's still a big part of her lifestyle, including cardio training and weightlifting, both of which she tries to encourage everyone to do.


Arriving on the ''[[USS Gorkon]]'' mid-mission, the deployment shuttlecraft Jo was on hurtled through a fissure in space and arrived with the ship on the other side of an alternate universe. They rescued who they could from the alternate ''[[USS Triumphant]]''; battled the [[Jem'Hadar]] fleet; persevered through months of rationing and cannibalising abandoned vessels for supplies; losing crew members to raids and away team missions, and finally getting home after forging an uneasy alliance with the Romulans. Jo is still feeling the aftershocks of this misadventure and it will no doubt have a bearing on her life in the future.
===Food and Drink===
:'''Makapa Bread:''' A Bajoran foodstuff is usually consumed as a breakfast meal. She can eat this at any time, in any place, with the crust - a childhood belief it would make her terribly straight hair curly. Spread with jumba jam, it's like a slice of toasted heaven.
:'''Coffee:''' Self-explanatory for a Starfleet Officer. When "Over There", during rationing, she weaned herself off the beverage, down to one mug a day. It destroyed part of her soul.
:'''Hasperat Soufflé:''' Another Bajoran dish from her childhood home usually made with whatever fruit was in season. If you want to get on her good side, bring her a soufflé with cream.


===Fears===
: '''Losing Friends and Family:''' In the grand sense of the word, Jo is afraid of her friends and those she considers family dying, in action or otherwise. After suffering so much loss during their "Over There" time ''(see: [[Annus_Horribilis,_Part_2_(Gorkon)|Annus Horribilis, Part 2]])'', she keeps her friends close to her heart. You would think it would be a catalyst to do the exact opposite, but she's never been one to conform.
:'''Small Spaces:''' Jo was involved in a mining collapse during her apprenticeship on Volan III. The roof of the cave came down during an earthquake, burying the young woman under the rock and shattering her shoulder - the result of which was pulling out of professional Springball. She also suffered the fatal curse of the first mission Ensign Panic Attack™, in which [[Ayiana Sevo]] managed to bring her out before she let herself out of her EVO Suit and became one with open space.


{{Heading|Pastimes & Enjoyments|Gold}}


She plays Springball in her downtime, still trying to find new players to practice with and enjoys enlisting for tournament matches in the Holodeck arenas when on shoreleave. Her foray into the world of motor mechanics lets her enjoy working on Engineering projects on the sidelines, building and riding vintage Terran motorcycles (and sometimes cars) in the Holodeck. When she needs less noise and more centering, she quiets her mind with meditation and yoga. She has maintained the habit of keeping fit from her days of professional sports and holds it a big part of her lifestyle, including cardio training and weightlifting.
==Personal History==

She lives for coffee and Bajoran makapa bread, with the crust.  
Growing up on a colony was one of the benefits of being a child of two Starfleet Officers. Jo was born on a starship, then raised on [[ma:Volan III|Volan III]] after the [[ma:Dominion War|Dominon War]].

There was the initial option of prolonging her foray into professional sports, however, a mining collapse halted her progression due to a dislocated shoulder that was not easily remedied. Seeking something to keep her mind busy, she turned her attention to her other great love - Engineering.

{{Relationship
|Robin & Luther Marshall
|PICTURE=JoMarshall-Parents.jpg
|RELATIONSHIP=Parents
|COLOR=White
|BLURB=The two people to bring Jo into the world are still living in their family home in the Federation colony of Volan III. They were stationed on the planet after the Dominion War to help the Bajoran and Cardassian people aclimatise to one another's presence. With an elder son already in Starfleet and the youngest enrolled in the Academy, Jo's accomplishments are not at the forefront of their attention and they encourage independence in their children from a young age. However, they are loving parents and keep in touch with their daughter when they can.
}}
{{Relationship
|Orson "Bear" Marshall
|PICTURE=BearMarshall.jpg
|RELATIONSHIP=Older Brother
|COLOR=White
|BLURB=Jo and Bear's relationship is good, at the moment, and has been rocky in the past. Being the eldest child, and the first one to pass through the Academy into active duty, Bear was always a little resentful of Jo's Engineering abilities, and she was always trying to keep up with his academic prowess. They cultivate healthy competition between them and when they get chance to demonstrate it, they don't hold back.
}}
{{Relationship
|George Marshall
|PICTURE=GeorgeMarshall.jpg
|RELATIONSHIP=Younger Brother
|COLOR=White
|BLURB=George is in the Academy presently, on his third tier of Cadetship. He hasn't elected a Major yet, but is under heavy influence from the eldest of the family to choose Strategy and Tactical Operations. With an aptitude for planning and leadership, George excels where his siblings failed in that he isn't terribly competitive. He likes taking things at his own pace and lets the world roll on by.

After her commission into Starfleet Academy, Jo was found to be a capable Engineer from the start and learned quickly. She chose to Major in Engineering, specifically Warp Theory, and minor in Operations to coincide with her abilities to multi-task, effectively making her a humanoid multi-tool. Taking on board her experience and talent for the work, she was deployed to the [[ma:Fleet Operations Center|Fleet Operations Center]] to carry on her training while working on emerging technology in the field of Operations. Working tirelessly to prove herself in the Academy's arena, she became one of the leading Engineers in her graduate year; a moment she is very proud of. Upon completion of her Cadet Cruise, she requested deployment to Starbase 118 Fleet.


{{Heading|Friends|Gold}}
Arriving on the [[USS Gorkon]] mid-mission ''(see: [[Annus Horribilis (Gorkon)]], the crew transport Jo was on hurtled through a fissure in space and arrived with the ship on the other side of an alternate universe. They rescued who they could from the alternate [[USS Triumphant (alternate)|USS Triumphant]]; battled the [[Jem'Hadar]] fleet; persevered through months of rationing and cannibalising abandoned vessels for supplies; losing crew members to raids and away team missions, and finally getting home after forging an uneasy alliance with the [[Romulan|Romulans]].  
{{Relationship
|Caedan Nkai
|PICTURE=Caedan_Nkai.png
|RELATIONSHIP=Friend
|COLOR=White
|BLURB=Caedan and Jo met in the Operations department, him the Chief, her the underling. They developed a taste for going out and partying on shore leave, getting very, ''very'' drunk, and garnering a reputation for living it up. Jo considers Caedan to be a close friend and loves his hair.
}}
{{Relationship
|Sera zh'Aella
|PICTURE=Sera_zh'_Aella.png
|RELATIONSHIP=Friend
|COLOR=White
|BLURB=Jo and Sera first met on the underground spider station that was Leutra IV, when Sera surfed a wave of eight-legged arachnids, taking a chunk out of one of them. Since then, they've become friends, fending off Orion pirates, faceless beings, and the odd poker hand or two in a top hat. Jo loves Sera's easy humour and enjoys being around the Andorian when they get chance.
}}
{{Relationship
|Erin Reynolds
|PICTURE=Erin_Reynolds.png
|RELATIONSHIP=Friend
|COLOR=White
|BLURB=While in the "other universe" tripping on the Gorkon, the Doctor, then Chief Engineer of the [[USS Triumphant (alternate)]] spent a lot of time helping the Gorkon Engineers keep the ship afloat. During this time, Jo was reassigned to the Engineering department. As the crew had already been whittled down, they found their shifts coinciding more often than not, and spent a lot of time together. Now that Erin is part of this universe, and stationed as a Civilian botanist on the Ereina Ark Project, the two swap subspace messages often while apart for long stretches, and try to find some time to spend in one another's company when they can.

Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]]
:::239802.10: "The initial draft of this next commendation hit my desk as "awarded for acts of staunch cojones". ::She flicked her gaze toward Jo with a twitch of a smile.:: As you can imagine, that's not quite the version I sent to Starfleet Command, but the sentiment holds true."

<br>
:* '''Purple Heart''', 239604.27, 239607.25 (2nd Citation)
:::239604.27: "The nature of the incident aboard the Njörðr means that we all suffered injuries that saw us under the care of the Yarahla's doctors. As such, everyone here is the recipient of a Purple Heart." Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]]

<br>

Further, the work you did has laid the foundations for future medics and researchers to cure anyone else who suffers from the same infection." Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]]
<br>
:* '''Intelligence Star''', 239802.10
::: "First, the unique nature of covert assignments—the need for quick thinking, resourcefulness and determination, all the while maintaining your cover—is worthy of recognition in itself, especially when performed by those whose training might not normally extend to undercover work. With your achievements in mind, I'm pleased to present you all with the Intelligence Star." Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]]
<br>
:* '''Operation Safe Harbor Service Medal''', 239802.10

:* '''Joint Meritorious Unit Award''', 239802.10

:* '''1-year Member''', 239304.10
::: The 1-year Member award is a length of service award given to those who have been members continuously for one year.
:* '''TOSMA''', 239306.28
::: Given to members who show great dedication in their behaviour and simming abilities. A candidate for TOSMA regularly contributes good, solid ideas to the plot and character development.
:* '''Silver Palm''', 239506.24
::: Awarded to a simmer who has consistently boosted the morale of his/her crew. The recipient will be known to be able to add that spark to a plot whenever it may be lagging or may be able to consistently bring enjoyment or a bit of humour to the sim, whilst keeping such sims relevant and realistic.  
:* '''B-Plot Award''', 239706.24
::: "Nominations talked of Jo's family and their complex relationships, of the romance between a Russian and his Romulan paramour, all bouncing off the main stories of the ship while never dominating them. For her well-drawn plots and characters, we're delighted to present Jo Marshall with the B-Plot Award." - Presented by Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]].
:* '''Neelix Award''', 239606.24
::: "There are so many ways that Em gives us that little bit more on the Gorkon, from character images, quote of the month badges, competition-winning Halloween avatars and movie nights, it's hard to remember and recite them all! Her efforts extend well beyond the ship as well; she's an active member of the FNS, and it's a rare week she doesn't volunteer in the academy when there's a class to be run. All of this, from fun little images to training our new cadets, help build and make the SB118 community such a lively and wonderful thing to be a part of, and so in gratitude for everything she does, we award Jo Marshall the Neelix Award." - Presented by Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]].
:* '''Q Award''', 239606.24
::: "Telling a compelling story requires the writer to throw in a few twists to keep readers engaged and interested, from the subtle to the dramatic. Em has a definite knack for taking plot threads and turning them in an unexpected, but completely logical direction. Importantly, she does this while respecting everyone's contributions up to that point, often picking up on small details other writers have introduced, and elevating them to new heights. It's a joy to read her sims, and great fun running with the challenges and curveballs she introduces. For her delightfully devious mind, we award Jo Marshall the Q Award!" - Presented by Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]].
:* '''Scotty Cross''', 239606.24
::: "In a pleasing counterpart to the Q Award, Em not only has a talent for introducing crafty plot twists, but a flair for creative and entertaining solutions to plot dilemmas presented to her and her team. These range from the "oh man why didn't I think of that?" to the "oh man, I couldn't have ever thought of that!" and putting a grin on reader's faces and give us all something to aspire to. For her imaginative and original answers to plot questions, we present Jo Marshall with the Scotty Cross!" - Presented by Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]].
:* '''The Nebula Bar''', 239706.24
::: "The Nebula Bar is awarded to those simmers who create convincing, descriptive, realistic environments that inspire simmers and enhance the flow of the story. A simmer we can consistently rely on for brilliant, evocative environmental narration is Em. Every sim is written with beautifully crafted descriptions, grounding us in fully-realised scenes that breath life into even the most sterile of settings. And so for making the imaginary world we inhabit feel so real, we're delighted to award Jo Marshall the Nebula Bar." - Presented by Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]].
:* '''The Strange Medallion''', 239706.25
::: Presented by Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]].

|<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-missionname-ah1">
: '''[[Annus_Horribilis_(Gorkon)|Annus Horribilis]] - Stardate 239301.21 to 239304.03'''
:: The first mission Jo found herself on after being thrown through a fissure during a crew resupply. The ship was supplanted into an alternate universe where the Dominion had won the war, meeting up with the crews' alternate selves, and fighting for a way to get home.</div>
|<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-missionname-ah2">
: '''[[Annus_Horribilis,_Part_2_(Gorkon)|Annus Horribilis, Part 2]] - Stardate 239305.11 to 239309.07'''
:: A continuation of the previous mission, also known as the "Year of Hell" to those serving on board the [[USS Gorkon]] at the time. Sustaining heavy damage in various ship battles, without the option of repairs and refits, Jo was seconded into Main Engineering to help the ongoing effort of keeping their Sovereign-Class starship afloat. Raids, rationing, and regular thrashings from the other universe Dominion, it was a trying time, however it forged friendships that would last a lifetime. </div>
|<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-missionname-awisc">
: '''[[A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing (Gorkon)|A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing]] - Stardate 239311.1 to 239312.25'''
:: Newly posted to the taskforce in the [[Tyrellian Sector]], the crew were tasked with routing out the [[Orion Syndicate]] influence that had ceded the government and protecting the Chief Prosecutor from harm. Dodging and unexploded "bomb", getting shot at by an old-style turret, then threatened by an [[Orion]] "slave girl" who turned out to be a mobster, it was a rather eventful mission for Jo she won't soon forget. </div>
|<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-missionname-oh">
: '''[[Old Hatreds (Gorkon)|Old Hatreds]] - Stardate 23940318 to 239404.10'''
:: Hosting a diplomatic conference on the [[USS Gorkon]] between the Romulan Star Empire, Romulan Republic, Klingon Empire and the Tyrellians, something was bound to go wrong. And, surprisingly, it did! [[Quinn Reynolds]] was attacked, a bomb exploded in the conference room, and Jo found herself trying not to rip out sections of the [[USS Triumphant]]'s Operations chair while playing war games with their taskforce colleagues.</div>
|<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-missionname-sf">
: '''[[The Silver Function (Gorkon)|The Silver Function]] - Stardate 239405.25 to 239407.12'''
:: Escaping a radiation storm that would have made them all a little less than alive, the crew dove into the depths of Leutra IV to find that not only was there a living spider organism machine network running beneath the surface, but that a Ranger contingent, the 451st to be exact, had been stranded there during a mission. It was during this escapade into the weird and wonderful that Jo met her best friend [[Sera zh'Aella]], who came riding into battle on the back of a mechanical spider wave, taking a chunk out of one of them with her bare teeth. Suffice to say, they were friends immediately.</div>
|<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-missionname-de">
: '''[[The Devil's Expanse (Gorkon)|The Devil's Expanse]] - Stardate 239409.17 to 239411.01'''
:: On the bestie's first day as the Helm Officer, [[Sera zh'Aella]] did something which caused the Quantum Slipstream Drive to switch itself off mid-flight, throwing the ship into the nebula known as The Roman Expanse. A network of electrical storms and bad tempers, the nebula quickly rendered their ship powerless and incapable of escape. As luck would have it, the zoo-keepers for a large energy sucking creature decided it wasn't feeding time, and were preventing the ship from gaining back power to stop them all from becoming a starfish omelette.</div>
|<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-missionname-tel">
: '''[[Telutho'kai (Gorkon)|Telutho'kai]] - Stardate 239412.28 to 239502.09'''
:: Jo doesn't remember much of this mission, apart from transporting to their Operations Centre and finding it more derelict than a [[Vulcan]] comedy club. From there, she kind of "phased out" of being, reappearing hours later with the rest of the Starbase 173 crew, shivering, hypothermic, and lacking an explanation as to where she had been. Unfortunately, another [[Orson "Bear" Marshall|Marshall]] happened to be trapped in the same frozen fissure and has since made her life a little less bearable. </div>
|<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-missionname-hv">
: '''[[Hvei'khenn  (Gorkon)|Hvei'khenn]] - Stardate 239504.15 to 239506.08'''
:: The colony of Sikuna was in the throws of a storm, a virulent sickness outbreak, and a lot of protest problems, requesting Starfleet assistance. Transporting down to the surface, Jo was part of the Away Team that were tasked with trying to repair the Verteron Array and get it back up and running for Federation science collaboration. Instead of doing that, they found a D'deridex class warbird underneath the Science Facility crewed by a strange mix of Andorians and Romulans, as though they'd teamed up for the kicks, and took the warbird out for a joy ride. </div>

:: Waking up as a member of the Maquis Resistance cell on the [[Skarbek]], Jo remembered nothing of her real life and instead, memories and friendships were replaced by recollections of a life lived under Dominion occupation of the DMZ. Resisting a Cardassian attack on their home of Outpost Schulman, and managing to escape on the raider, things went from bad to worse when they discovered they were trapped inside a dreamweb concocted by someone on the outside. When finally they broke free from the dream, with memories still haunting their real lives, they discovered the Trill known as Lladre had hijacked the ship and kept them under for hours, despite their recollected lives of years spent as someone else. Lladre escaped, taking with her something stolen from the ship. It's all a mess.</div>

Commander Jo Marshall is a party-hard, mellow and strange Human currently serving as the Chief Operations Officer aboard the USS Gorkon, the flagship of the Tyrellian Defence and Exploration Taskforce. The USS Gorkon is her first posting outside of Starfleet Academy and her Cadet Cruise. Life on the fringes of space between three factions of the Galaxy has not been an easy undertaking, to say the least. Jo has put as much of herself into the ship as possible, which includes, but is not limited to, blood, sweat, tears, and the occasional shared beer smooshed into the Cargo Bay deck plating.

Personality

Temperament: She doesn't take herself very seriously, prefers to break tensions, but will argue her point as well as any. When faced with a challenge, she'll play hard and play to win. Has a dark sense of humour and speaks sarcasm fluently. Resourceful and always trying to think a step ahead. Optimistic, not naïve. Tells outrageous jokes. Feels connected to music. She may seem disorganized sometimes, but there's a lot going on in her brain. A strong-hearted loyal friend. An undeniable smartass with a kind soul.
Dislikes: Time wasters, small talk, grudges, inactivity, failing.
Carriage: When busy, she walks with purpose, a woman on a mission. When relaxed, casual and slowed down a notch. Matches the speed of anyone she's walking with as she does tend to walk quickly without realizing it.
Mannerisms: Crosses her arms and chews on her lips when thinking. Runs her hands through her hair. Has her hands in her pockets when feeling relaxed. Tends to high-five and fist-bump people she likes.
Quarters: Shared with her partner, Erin Reynolds. Kept tidy, as much as possible, with a variety of personal effects of theirs. A springball is usually around somewhere she throws about when thinking. Holoimages of family and friends. Lots of plants to rival a greenhouse. Violet flower in the middle of the coffee table. A baby grand piano takes up one corner.
Hobbies: Plays springball, restores vintage motorcycles, listens to all kinds of music from everywhere. More on her Hobbies and Pastimes below, if you're interested.
Religion/Spiritual Devotion: None of note, though she tends to lean toward Bajoran spiritualism when times are tough. Usually, one or two words are thrown up toward any deity listening.

Ambitions and Goals

Aspirations: Not an overly ambitious person, Jo is happy doing her thing and contributing to her ship as much as possible. She serves under a great Rear Admiral she thoroughly respects and can't see herself anywhere else in the near future. As for goals, making it to 2340 would be nice.
'Achievements: Achievements are not something Jo tends to collect many of - usually forgoing accolades for anything in return for a beer in a quiet bar where shenanigans can commence. Living in the "other universe", and surviving it, with the help of friends and the Yarahla Nine is definitely up there with those achievements and life wins she has stashed away in her mind. While the year forged friendships and bonds like no other, it was still tough going and brought Jo to the brink of some questionable thoughts.

Relationships

To see all the exciting relationships Jo has made in her short time on the USS Gorkon, or to know exactly who has the patience to put up with her singular brand of lunacy, go to the Full Article: Relationships

Like one would collect Springball player stickers, Jo collects people. That's not to say she reduces them to a two-dimensional state and glues them into books. She is a happy, party-hard Officer, and loves spending time with the people she truly cares about. She will encourage anyone to do some kind of karaoke on shore leave, or dance naked in the Trill forests while eating a taco. Approach with caution.

Partner Erin Reynolds
Offspring None.
Pets Rubin, Border Collie
Parents Robin Marshall (Mother), Luther Marshall (Father)
Siblings Orson "Bear" Marshall, George Marshall


Likes and Dislikes

Hobbies

Springball: A hangover from her days playing professionally for Bajor, she tries to find new players to practice with or strong-arm her friends into a game.
Mechanics: Engineering projects on the sidelines include maintenance of a motorcycle she enjoys taking out when they get a chance.
Tiny Plants: A recent addition to her hobby list is cultivating seedlings. She hasn't broadened her horizons past growing one at a time yet, out of fear she'll kill them all. Her quarters are now awash with the adopted plants of her partner, Erin Reynolds, who supervises all her growing efforts.
Meditation/Yoga: When she needs less noise and more centring, she quiets her mind with meditation and yoga.
Athleticism: She has maintained the habit of keeping fit from her days of professional sports and it's still a big part of her lifestyle, including cardio training and weightlifting, both of which she tries to encourage everyone to do.

Food and Drink

Makapa Bread: A Bajoran foodstuff is usually consumed as a breakfast meal. She can eat this at any time, in any place, with the crust - a childhood belief it would make her terribly straight hair curly. Spread with jumba jam, it's like a slice of toasted heaven.
Coffee: Self-explanatory for a Starfleet Officer. When "Over There", during rationing, she weaned herself off the beverage, down to one mug a day. It destroyed part of her soul.
Hasperat Soufflé: Another Bajoran dish from her childhood home usually made with whatever fruit was in season. If you want to get on her good side, bring her a soufflé with cream.

Fears

Losing Friends and Family: In the grand sense of the word, Jo is afraid of her friends and those she considers family dying, in action or otherwise. After suffering so much loss during their "Over There" time (see: Annus Horribilis, Part 2), she keeps her friends close to her heart. You would think it would be a catalyst to do the exact opposite, but she's never been one to conform.
Small Spaces: Jo was involved in a mining collapse during her apprenticeship on Volan III. The roof of the cave came down during an earthquake, burying the young woman under the rock and shattering her shoulder - the result of which was pulling out of professional Springball. She also suffered the fatal curse of the first mission Ensign Panic Attack™, in which Ayiana Sevo managed to bring her out before she let herself out of her EVO Suit and became one with open space.


Personal History

Click sub-headings below to expand or collapse. See Jocelyn Marshall/Timeline.

Growing up on a colony was one of the benefits of being a child of two Starfleet Officers. Jo was born on a starship, then raised on Volan III after the Dominon War.

Her parents were deployed as part of Starfleet's ongoing efforts to maintain the demilitarized zone and repair some of the damage that had been caused during the occupation of Bajor. Many Bajorans that Jo encountered had first-hand experiences of the war and what it had done to their home and people. Growing up among adults that had seen the end of a war, and witnessing many of the problems the Dominion had caused, formed Jo into a well-rounded individual from a young age. Seeing the end of the occupation meant a return to Federation standards of living and the Bajorans cultivated the colony to thrive.

Jo enjoyed many pursuits in her youth, including travelling throughout the planet, mountain climbing, surfing and diving, as well as the national pastime of Springball. Once she got a taste for the game, and the intricacies of shots, she was hooked. Playing throughout her school years and through her teenage life, sports and studies kept her busy. She was often seen running from one campus to another with her Springball glove or part of a machine she had disassembled from something. When she could compete on the tournament circuit, she started running competitions professionally, playing for Volan III at the championship matches held throughout the galaxy, giving her the chance to see the universe outside of her home.

There was the initial option of prolonging her foray into professional sports, however, a mining collapse halted her progression due to a dislocated shoulder that was not easily remedied. Seeking something to keep her mind busy, she turned her attention to her other great love - Engineering.

Her interest in engineering she had taken started from a young age, under the influence of her mother and father, both Engineers in Starfleet within specialised fields. Her mother enrolled her in a part-time apprenticeship as she started her middle school years, working for a large mining operation within the mountains. On finishing school for the day, if there wasn't a sports practice, Jo would grab one of the worker shuttle transports to the mines and begin shadowing one of the many mining engineers, usually Bajoran. Within a few months, she had picked up the Bajoran language and could work without the Universal Translator. She was a hard worker, being both focused and driven to find new ways of accomplishing old tasks and new solutions to recurring problems.

Given her first motorcycle at fifteen, the first thing she did was take it apart to see how it all worked, before putting it back together and going for a spin up the mountain paths. This only fueled her drive to find bigger problems, and bigger engineering tasks, which only Starfleet could offer.

After her commission into Starfleet Academy, Jo was found to be a capable Engineer from the start and learned quickly. She chose to Major in Engineering, specifically Warp Theory, and minor in Operations to coincide with her abilities to multi-task, effectively making her a humanoid multi-tool. Taking on board her experience and talent for the work, she was deployed to the Fleet Operations Center to carry on her training while working on emerging technology in the field of Operations. Working tirelessly to prove herself in the Academy's arena, she became one of the leading Engineers in her graduate year; a moment she is very proud of. Upon completion of her Cadet Cruise, she requested deployment to Starbase 118 Fleet.

Arriving on the USS Gorkon mid-mission (see: Annus Horribilis (Gorkon), the crew transport Jo was on hurtled through a fissure in space and arrived with the ship on the other side of an alternate universe. They rescued who they could from the alternate USS Triumphant; battled the Jem'Hadar fleet; persevered through months of rationing and cannibalising abandoned vessels for supplies; losing crew members to raids and away team missions, and finally getting home after forging an uneasy alliance with the Romulans.

With your achievements in mind, I'm pleased to present you all with the Intelligence Star." Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds


  • Operation Safe Harbor Service Medal, 239802.10

  • 1-year Member, 239304.10
The 1-year Member award is a length of service award given to those who have been members continuously for one year.
  • TOSMA, 239306.28
Given to members who show great dedication in their behaviour and simming abilities. A candidate for TOSMA regularly contributes good, solid ideas to the plot and character development.
  • Silver Palm, 239506.24
Awarded to a simmer who has consistently boosted the morale of his/her crew. The recipient will be known to be able to add that spark to a plot whenever it may be lagging or may be able to consistently bring enjoyment or a bit of humour to the sim, whilst keeping such sims relevant and realistic.
  • B-Plot Award, 239706.24
"Nominations talked of Jo's family and their complex relationships, of the romance between a Russian and his Romulan paramour, all bouncing off the main stories of the ship while never dominating them. For her well-drawn plots and characters, we're delighted to present Jo Marshall with the B-Plot Award." - Presented by Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds.
  • Neelix Award, 239606.24
"There are so many ways that Em gives us that little bit more on the Gorkon, from character images, quote of the month badges, competition-winning Halloween avatars and movie nights, it's hard to remember and recite them all! Her efforts extend well beyond the ship as well; she's an active member of the FNS, and it's a rare week she doesn't volunteer in the academy when there's a class to be run. All of this, from fun little images to training our new cadets, help build and make the SB118 community such a lively and wonderful thing to be a part of, and so in gratitude for everything she does, we award Jo Marshall the Neelix Award." - Presented by Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds.
  • Q Award, 239606.24
"Telling a compelling story requires the writer to throw in a few twists to keep readers engaged and interested, from the subtle to the dramatic. Em has a definite knack for taking plot threads and turning them in an unexpected, but completely logical direction. Importantly, she does this while respecting everyone's contributions up to that point, often picking up on small details other writers have introduced, and elevating them to new heights. It's a joy to read her sims, and great fun running with the challenges and curveballs she introduces. For her delightfully devious mind, we award Jo Marshall the Q Award!" - Presented by Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds.
  • Scotty Cross, 239606.24
"In a pleasing counterpart to the Q Award, Em not only has a talent for introducing crafty plot twists, but a flair for creative and entertaining solutions to plot dilemmas presented to her and her team. These range from the "oh man why didn't I think of that?" to the "oh man, I couldn't have ever thought of that!" and putting a grin on reader's faces and give us all something to aspire to. For her imaginative and original answers to plot questions, we present Jo Marshall with the Scotty Cross!" - Presented by Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds.
  • The Nebula Bar, 239706.24
"The Nebula Bar is awarded to those simmers who create convincing, descriptive, realistic environments that inspire simmers and enhance the flow of the story. A simmer we can consistently rely on for brilliant, evocative environmental narration is Em. Every sim is written with beautifully crafted descriptions, grounding us in fully-realised scenes that breath life into even the most sterile of settings. And so for making the imaginary world we inhabit feel so real, we're delighted to award Jo Marshall the Nebula Bar." - Presented by Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds.
  • The Strange Medallion, 239706.25
Presented by Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds.

Annus Horribilis - Stardate 239301.21 to 239304.03
The first mission Jo found herself on after being thrown through a fissure during a crew resupply. The ship was supplanted into an alternate universe where the Dominion had won the war, meeting up with the crews' alternate selves, and fighting for a way to get home.
Annus Horribilis, Part 2 - Stardate 239305.11 to 239309.07
A continuation of the previous mission, also known as the "Year of Hell" to those serving on board the USS Gorkon at the time. Sustaining heavy damage in various ship battles, without the option of repairs and refits, Jo was seconded into Main Engineering to help the ongoing effort of keeping their Sovereign-Class starship afloat. Raids, rationing, and regular thrashings from the other universe Dominion, it was a trying time, however it forged friendships that would last a lifetime.
A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing - Stardate 239311.1 to 239312.25
Newly posted to the taskforce in the Tyrellian Sector, the crew were tasked with routing out the Orion Syndicate influence that had ceded the government and protecting the Chief Prosecutor from harm. Dodging and unexploded "bomb", getting shot at by an old-style turret, then threatened by an Orion "slave girl" who turned out to be a mobster, it was a rather eventful mission for Jo she won't soon forget.
Old Hatreds - Stardate 23940318 to 239404.10
Hosting a diplomatic conference on the USS Gorkon between the Romulan Star Empire, Romulan Republic, Klingon Empire and the Tyrellians, something was bound to go wrong. And, surprisingly, it did! Quinn Reynolds was attacked, a bomb exploded in the conference room, and Jo found herself trying not to rip out sections of the USS Triumphant's Operations chair while playing war games with their taskforce colleagues.
The Silver Function - Stardate 239405.25 to 239407.12
Escaping a radiation storm that would have made them all a little less than alive, the crew dove into the depths of Leutra IV to find that not only was there a living spider organism machine network running beneath the surface, but that a Ranger contingent, the 451st to be exact, had been stranded there during a mission. It was during this escapade into the weird and wonderful that Jo met her best friend Sera zh'Aella, who came riding into battle on the back of a mechanical spider wave, taking a chunk out of one of them with her bare teeth. Suffice to say, they were friends immediately.
The Devil's Expanse - Stardate 239409.17 to 239411.01
On the bestie's first day as the Helm Officer, Sera zh'Aella did something which caused the Quantum Slipstream Drive to switch itself off mid-flight, throwing the ship into the nebula known as The Roman Expanse. A network of electrical storms and bad tempers, the nebula quickly rendered their ship powerless and incapable of escape. As luck would have it, the zoo-keepers for a large energy sucking creature decided it wasn't feeding time, and were preventing the ship from gaining back power to stop them all from becoming a starfish omelette.
Telutho'kai - Stardate 239412.28 to 239502.09
Jo doesn't remember much of this mission, apart from transporting to their Operations Centre and finding it more derelict than a Vulcan comedy club. From there, she kind of "phased out" of being, reappearing hours later with the rest of the Starbase 173 crew, shivering, hypothermic, and lacking an explanation as to where she had been. Unfortunately, another Marshall happened to be trapped in the same frozen fissure and has since made her life a little less bearable.
Hvei'khenn - Stardate 239504.15 to 239506.08
The colony of Sikuna was in the throws of a storm, a virulent sickness outbreak, and a lot of protest problems, requesting Starfleet assistance. Transporting down to the surface, Jo was part of the Away Team that were tasked with trying to repair the Verteron Array and get it back up and running for Federation science collaboration. Instead of doing that, they found a D'deridex class warbird underneath the Science Facility crewed by a strange mix of Andorians and Romulans, as though they'd teamed up for the kicks, and took the warbird out for a joy ride.
Sweet Dreams Are Made of This - Stardate 239508.14 to 239511.15
Waking up as a member of the Maquis Resistance cell on the Skarbek, Jo remembered nothing of her real life and instead, memories and friendships were replaced by recollections of a life lived under Dominion occupation of the DMZ. Resisting a Cardassian attack on their home of Outpost Schulman, and managing to escape on the raider, things went from bad to worse when they discovered they were trapped inside a dreamweb concocted by someone on the outside. When finally they broke free from the dream, with memories still haunting their real lives, they discovered the Trill known as Lladre had hijacked the ship and kept them under for hours, despite their recollected lives of years spent as someone else. Lladre escaped, taking with her something stolen from the ship. It's all a mess.
The Njörðr Incident - Stardate 239602.05 to 239605.01
On board the USS Njörðr heading for the New Horizons conference, the ship hits a nebula and gets pumelled.
Operation Sea Devil - Stardate 239605.15 to 239608.01
The crew of the USS Gorkon undertake a daring mission to infiltrate Orion space in order to capture a fugitive crime boss, acquire valuable intelligence and extract and undercover operative. At the same time, the Gorkon searches for one of the Syndicate's pirate captains who may be convinced to retire to the safe shores of the Federation... bringing all of his knowledge with him.
Together in Electric Dreams - Stardate 239609.23 to 239611.23
When a recent raid on a Cardassian installation was met with unexpected resistance, the crew of the Skarbek took significant losses. It is believed that they have retreated to Peshkova Colony to lick their wounds and mourn their dead.
Serpent Heart, Flowering Face - Stardate 239702.28 to 239706.01
With tensions reaching a breaking point on the shared Romulan Republic and Federation colony, the crew of the USS Gorkon are asked to investigate missing miners and violent wildlife.
Welcome to Dinosauria - Stardate 239707.12 to 239709.20
The USS Gorkon is dispatched to put the Federation's mind at ease and ensure that the experimental park is being run to their exacting standards of safety, bioethics and worker rights... but all is not as it seems.
Operation Q-Ball - Stardate 239711.30 to 239802.02
As the USS Azetbur goes missing, and Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds mysteriously disappears, the crew of the USS Gorkon take it on themselves to investigate her disappearance by heading into the seedy, underhanded world of the Orion Syndicate once more.
What Do Boys Dream - Stardate 239803.23 to 239806.18
After being betrayed by one of their own, many of the Skarbek crew are captured and thrown into a Cardassian prison where they must fight to survive and escape.
The Pelian Brief - Stardate 239808.28 to 239811.18
The USS Gorkon is helping the colonists of Darime IV. It’s a well-established Pelian colony on a garden world, which took in a sizable number of Romulan refugees after the Hobus Disaster. In the following 11 years, the two groups have peacefully coexisted on the planet; while they generally maintain separate settlements, the Pelians helped the Romulans establish themselves in their new home, and the Romulans have offered their skilled workers and knowledge in return.
It’s been a harmonious and cooperative relationship for the most part. However, recent disputes arose when the Romulans planned to build a new settlement near the Pelian holy site of N’amiu’s Garden, a verdant and unspoiled valley amidst fertile lands. Diplomatic efforts brought the dispute to a resolution both parties are (relatively) content with, but it stoked old grudges and prejudices among some of the population, which the recent medical crisis has only exacerbated.
Shadows of the Rift - Stardate 239901.27 to 239904.22
The USS Gorkon has picked up garbled distress signals from the USS Triumphant with their last known location attached, located deep within a subspace bubble—possibly a Tyken's Rift. As sensors and communications reduce to a mess of echoes, and their power and drives are affected by the environment swirling around them, the Gorkon continues their rescue efforts and search for the Triumphant.
