History
Keneth was born on Stardate 237402.18 at the Chicago Medical Center.
His father, David, was a researcher at the University of Chicago. His mother was a botanist from Canada. Somehow, his parents claimed, it had been an instant match.
From a young age, he had displayed a lot of interest in mathematics and his father had correspondingly taught him logical reasoning too – an experiment that failed miserably on his sister. But Keneth did learn – and that had become a defining trait for him – he could be incredibly rational and reason anything out. Or at least so he thought.
When he was three, the family moved to Mumbai, partially at his mother’s insistance and partially because his father had work there. It was there that Keneth realized that the majority of Earth really was identical, global culture was a real thing and that he would never find real diversity on Earth. It had been sacrificed for peace. Later, at twelve, they moved back to Chicago.
As he moved through high school, he grew bored of staring at the stars from a distance, calculating their lives to 128-bit triple point accuracies. He wanted to be near them, to feel the wonder of a discovery. He wanted to explore and a planet was too constraining. He wanted to meet people who were actually different. So he applied to Starfleet.
His family did not trust this to work – Starfleet had so low an acceptance rate it may as well be zero. He should just enlist they said, or better yet, study on planet – maybe join his father? Keneth almost started believing it. Then he was accepted. He had only one disappointment – he had wanted science, but he got engineering. In hindsight – he loved engineering, though.
He soon discovered that the Academy was not easy – much, much harder in fact than anything he’d ever attempted. But he made it through. Now it was time to actually see the stars.
