History

• Hayden was identified early on as extremely intelligent; he graduated high school at fourteen. He had several social problems; primarily, he had trouble fitting in with people his own age. Upon graduating, he decided to dual enroll at both Starfleet Academy and the California Institute of Medicine, as he thought the combination would be the most challenging of all the options presented to him. By nineteen, he had completed his sequences of study at both institutions, and he was assigned as a medical ensign to Starbase 515 in 2373. He stayed there for two years, contributing greatly to the medical research and leaving copious notes. In those two years, he was also advanced two ranks, making it up to full lieutenant.
• In the last days of 2375, Hayden was reassigned to the exploratory vessel Kestrel as its CMO. As the CMO, he would have the chance to explore strange new diseases and medicines firsthand, and he quickly accepted.
• Early in the morning of January 15, 2376, the Kestrel had just passed beyond Federation space - Deep Space 15 had gone to aft about twelve hours earlier. Half a day later, DS15 received an emergency distress call from the ship - the Kestrel had encountered an unknown anomaly that had caused massive damage, and they were experiencing a warp core breach. DS15 immediately sent ships to investigate, but there was nothing left - the Kestrel had vanished without a trace. There were no escape pods, no debris, no ion trail leading away, and no sign of the strange anomaly. With no conclusive data, Starfleet notified the families of the one hundred and eighty-six people aboard the Kestrel that they were 'missing in action'.
• A year and a half later, Hayden's notes were rediscovered by another bright young ensign at Starbase 515, Nick Parks. Since Nick's interests lay outside of the medical field and more in the realm of subspace theory, he found most of Hayden's journals of little interest - until the Kestrel incident. Hayden talked extensively about perhaps seeing the anomaly that the Kestrel had reported before its disappearance. Nick researched the anomaly, and the Kestrel, until, finally, he discovered something....
• The Kestrel had not been destroyed. The anomaly had acted as an extreme point of interdimensional fatigue, and the Kestrel had fallen into a pocket of antispace, a kind of bubble in subspace. It took him the better part of two years, but Nick eventually found a way to punch a communications signal through, and there he made contact with Hayden. Hayden reported that most of the crew had been killed in the initial pull-through, and those that hadn't had died in several attempts to punch back through. He, Hayden, was the only survivor.
• Nick has, at Hayden's request, been attempting to find a way to bring him back. However, Nick's alone in the endeavor, as no one else will believe Hayden is real; in order for the communcation to work, it had to be tied directly into Nick's brainwaves, meaning it works for him only.
• Hayden's future in the real world depends upon Nick....
