Lieutenant JG Hiro Jones


Hiro rejoined Starfleet as a medical doctor aboard the USS Excalibur-A, and was part of the initial crew for the recommissioned USS Artemis-A. Upon seeing a need and a wealth of highly-gifted medical officers, he requested to be reassigned to his old position. Following some severe injuries during a mission, Hiro transferred to the USS Ronin, where he now serves in the hybrid role of counselor/medical officer.

Chronological History

236511.29-238012.15 - Childhood

Hiro was born in Chicago, IL on Earth's North American continent to Sato Hiroshi, a historical architecture preservationist and Tanya Jones, a florist and boxing instructor. Hiro's early years were characterized by a balance of pressure to succeed at whatever they attempted and an awareness of and respect for limitations. By the time Hiro was in his early teens however, they'd become the target of neighborhood bullies. Tanya began training Hiro in the martial art of boxing, all the while reinforcing the lesson that knowing how to fight doesn't mean it's always the solution. Hiroshi, Hiro's father, was often overheard lecturing Hiro on the importance of appreciating the journey all people have taken to bring them to the point at which their life and Hiro's intersected. It was crucial, Hiroshi would repeat, to be aware of all the things you didn't know.

238101.01-238407.31 - Late Teens

At the beginning of 2381, Hiro had recently turned 16. Far from a "wild child," Hiro had already set their sights on the future. Excelling in studies, earning every achievement recognition offered at school. Soon, Hiro set their gaze on Starfleet. The prospects for advancement there appealed to Hiro, so the application was sent. There was no surprise in the Sato-Jones household when the acceptance communication came through.

230408.01-239302.17 - Starfleet Round 1

Keeping pace, Hiro sailed through Starfleet Academy and into a career in counseling. Stationed at Starbase 104, Hiro was driven by a need for acknowledgement and achievement. The result was that in almost exactly four years from his commissioning, Hiro was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. This rank however, would hold for longer than Hiro felt was reasonable. In frustration, Hiro tendered their resignation papers.

239302.18-239712.24 - The Civilian Interim

Upon returning home, Hiro helped his parents part-time in their businesses, but Hiro's focus was on entering medical school and the advances possible through publication and research. Because of their service record and previous achievements, Hiro was admitted into an apprenticeship under Dr. Branson at the Chicago Institute of Virology and Pathology while completing their general medicine prerequisites - a track through which Hiro could complete their medical training much faster than was usual. Hiro rose to the challenge, but was frequently cautioned by Dr. Branson, who pointed out the blindspots created by Hiro's own ambition and need for acclaim.

239712.25-239911.29 - A Turning Point

Christmas Day, 2397, Hiro received a message from an old friend named Michael. There had been a tragedy: Michael's younger sister had taken her own life. The family had learned after the fact, by reading through personal logs, she'd been struggling with a great many issues, but never sought nor received the help she needed. This terrible news shook Hiro to the core. Hiro had been a counselor. Hiro had been in the position to help people just like this poor girl. Had there been missed opportunities in Hiro's career to do good? Had Hiro failed to lift up a fellow cremate? They had no way to be sure, but these questions tore at Hiro's mind for days. The purpose of life, they realized, was not acclaim, accomplishment, or personal advancement. The purpose of life was to in some way elevate the experience of living for all those around them in whatever way possible for as long as it was within their power to do so. On that mark, Hiro had been failing for a very long time. After a long, tearful conversation with Dr. Branson, Hiro decided to apply for re-commissioning into Starfleet - this time with new motivation and open eyes. The request was granted, but Hiro begged one condition for their return: that their prior service record be completely expunged, leaving only the original Academy graduation ribbon. The end compromise was that all awards and recognitions would be redacted and sealed, Hiro would rejoin the Fleet at the rank of Ensign upon completion of retraining, but that his record of rank would remain. Even though Hiro knew this would one day raise questions, they gladly accepted the terms, and threw themself headlong into becoming the best Starfleet Officer they were capable of being - for the sake of the whole. On their 34th birthday, Hiro completed retraining, and was given orders as a Medical Officer aboard the USS Excalibur-A.

Relationships

FAMILY:

Father, Historic Architecture Restorer/Preserver

Hiro respected his dad, but their relationship couldn't really be considered "close." Hiroshi impressed upon Hiro the importance of learning Japanese customs in order to remember where their people came from. He wanted Hiro to study kendo, as he had done, but in a single act of defiance, Hiro took up Kali (Philipino martial art using short sticks) instead.

FRIENDS:

Double Trouble, USS Ronin

The first time Hiro and Luxa spent time together socially was when Hiro hosted a "bad movie night" in his quarters with a few of his (then) fellow Ensigns.[2] She hadn't really known what to make of "Troll 2," but seemed to have fun. At any rate, it didn't scare her off pursuing a friendship. Following a particularly hazardous mission, the USS Artemis enjoyed shore leave at Luxa's homeworld of Cait. While there, she played the part of tour guide, showing Hiro some of the truly remarkable sights there.[3][4][5] This culminated with the two of them getting involved in a bar fight[6][7] and being detained by local authorities. Commander MacKenzie had to come and bail them out.[8]

COLLEAGUES:

CMO, USS Artemis-A

The Captain of the Artemis-A was one of two Starfleet Officers who oversaw Gila and Madison's final test before graduation. Though Gila had little opportunity to converse with her future Captain, she felt both excitement and deep fear at the idea of being assigned to her vessel. The two of them spent most of Gila's first mission in close proximity, and while the Captain seemed competent and reasonable, her willingness to risk the lives of Suliban pirates astonished the new Doctor. A small altercation occurred, after which an ashamed Gila tried to avoid the Captain as much as possible, and yet somehow, the Human woman seems to have an almost otherworldly ability to find the Mizarian when she least expects it...

Mission Log

Both Sides Now (USS Artemis-A, NCC-81287) - SD 240009.09 - 240012.01
AltUniverse.png

During an extremely routine analysis mission, a type of bubble in reality formed and popped near the Artemis, disgorging two larger vessels, a badly-damaged shuttle, and a handful of fighters. One ship: the CIC Desdemona hailed the Artemis, revealing her to be crewed by alternate versions of most of the Artemis' personnel, requesting assistance in fighting the other large ship. At this point, the other ship fired (ineffectually) on the Artemis. The Artemis was then forced to respond to the hostile action, destroying the ship. Shortly after, the senior officers from the Desdemona were invited aboard the Artemis for medical assistance and cultural exchange. While the newcomers look familiar, it quickly becomes apparent they have very different priorities.

Drill - SD 240006.26 - 240007.19
Purple-nebula.jpg

Wanting to put the Artemis through its paces, Commander MacKenzie acquisitioned the USS Berlin to run a friendly combat training exercise. The Berlin is captained by Commander Adea and crewed by Hiro and a handful of others. After Hiro, Dakora, Osuna, and a contingent of security personnel beamed over as a boarding party, it soon became apparent a group of Suliban pirates had also boarded the Artemis with their own plans. This rapidly ended the exercise, turning it into something far more real and dangerous.

Impact (USS Artemis-A, NCC-81287) - SD 240002.19 - 240004.17
Impact.jpg

The Artemis was dispatched to the Da'al homeworld to assist with relief efforts following a meteor impact, which left approximately 10,000 Da'al dead and thousands more wounded and/or unhomed. When they arrived, the crew found a compound in the airborne dust particles Hiro dubbed "Da'allium" owing to a Gallium core. This compound only existed because of the Da'al's telekinetic ability creating a sustaining field, but it had a significant effect on the Da'al: it made them incredibly aggressive. Hiro worked with Lt Yellir to modify a stasis field generator (brought as a medical tool) to generate a disruptive blocker, which allowed the Da'allium to dissipate naturally, thereby curing the Da'al.

Hide and Seek (USS Excalibur-A, NCC-41903-A) - SD 240001.01-240002.02
Blue Nebula.png

When Commander Addison MacKenzie and Lieutenant Talos Dakora went missing in the former maquis ship the MV Daisy, Commodore Nicholotti called upon Commander Genkos Adea to serve as First Officer during MacKenzie's absence. For this duration, Hiro was put in charge (much to his chagrin) of sickbay. As the Excalibur set off in the most likely direction of the Daisy's trail, Hiro, Ensign Jovenan, and Lieutenant Seta Jinean were tasked with trying to ascertain the intended destination and as far as they could, the motivation for the sub-rosa departure of the two officers.
