He likes socialising with and getting to know his crew and will scrub in and help even the lowliest of crewmen, often much to their surprise! He is an excellent judge of character and is able to quickly assess new officers and decide whether he will like them or not. There are very few people on his bad side but thankfully they generally have the sense to keep out of his way. | He likes socialising with and getting to know his crew and will scrub in and help even the lowliest of crewmen, often much to their surprise!

A later mission on the USS ''Vigilant'' would see Eerie face another illusion, this time created by an alien species as part of a social experiment. During the ‘[[Ravensville]]’ experience, he led the life of a Police Captain and was known as [[Eerie (Ravensville)|Mark ‘Eerie’ Swift]]. He sometimes finds himself using the odd strange remark, or exhibiting ‘un-Brikar like’ behaviour learned in that situation. | A later mission on the USS ''Vigilant'' would see Eerie face another illusion, this time created by an alien species as part of a social experiment.

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. | 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.

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. | Tolerant, flexible, yet socially awkward, Quinn often spends off-duty time working on a thesis or academic project, or playing the piano.

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! The best advice for anyone visiting his quarters, though, is to wear an EV suit – he likes to keep them at Vulcan humidity, temperature and gravity, so it may not be a comfortable visit otherwise! | When not in sickbay, he practices Vulcan martial arts, reads and plays music.
