|BLURB = Chief Science Officer {{n|Alexander|Richards}} of the {{USS|Gemini}} was born in Tycho City, Lunar Colony. Whilst studying the sciences at Oxford University, Alexander had a paper published on applied warp mechanics past, present and beyond. He graduated from Starfleet Academy in 2387, after which he took up his first duty post in the Operations Division on the {{USS|Independence|A}} in 2388 as the Chief Communications Officer. He later served on the {{USS|Tiger|A}}, {{USS|Mercury}}, {{USS|Drake}}, and [[Starbase 118 Ops]] before being assigned to the USS ''Gemini''. | |||
While investigating a strange occurrence on [[Deep Space 10]] during his time aboard the ''Mercury'', Alexander triggered the base's ancient defense systems and was paralyzed from the waist down. He is now in a wheelchair, but he has not let this get in the way of his career. Alexander feels his biggest achievement in life so far is becoming a father to his son John Richards. He always wants to set an example for him and be the best role model that he can be. | |||

Tolerant, flexible, yet socially awkward, | Tolerant, flexible, yet socially awkward, Quinn often spends off-duty time working on a thesis or academic project, or playing the piano. She appreciates the relationship between music and mathematics and finds the logical nature of technology reassuring. In some respects, that makes life aboard a starship ideal, although she is also a gardening enthusiast and keeps a sizable garden at her home in the Columbia Hills settlement on Mars. | ||

When not in sickbay, he practices Vulcan martial arts, reads and plays music. He is strongly averse to the use of phasers. He is known for keeping a white pet [[tribble]] and has a holographic piano!
