Ensign Jaseb Chevalier (/she·va·lyéː/) is currently serving as Operations Officer aboard the USS Artemis-A.

Appearance

  • Height: 192cm (6' 3”)
  • Hair: White
  • Eyes: Blue & White
  • Build: Athletic / Slender


Personality

Jaseb's demeanor towards others is often cautious and reserved, as he harbors a deep-seated belief that people are inherently untrustworthy. He tends to keep his true self hidden behind a metaphorical wall, which he has erected to protect himself from the outside world. However, those who take the time to get to know him and earn his trust will find a kind, thoughtful, and empathetic young man, who is the polar opposite of the stereotypical cold, detached, and goal-oriented individuals that are often celebrated in today's society.

Quarters

Jaseb's quarters are located in Compartment 12 of Sector 07 on Deck 5.
The quarters are shared, and the second berth is currently occupied by his scientific someting-like-Nettle-or-Jellyfish-who-knows roommate Gnai, a fellow ensign facing his own strange requirements.

Jaseb currently maintains a minimalistic, spartan half of shared living space.
On his shelf, he has a few physical books made of real paper, along with a holographic altar of some kind and Silver Star display, and his Starfleet Academy diploma and Good Conduct Medal Commendation hanging on the wall. He likes to privately listen to Bayran music in his quarters.

Background

Jaseb was born in a remote, non-Federation, human diaspora colony located on the edge of the Tholian and Makus Sectors.
He was the third child of a family of public servants, and he had a happy childhood filled with joy and laughter. However, as he grew older, Jaseb became increasingly aware of the challenges and limitations that came with being a third-born. His planet is barren and lacking resources, and the planetary population was strictly controlled to prevent overpopulation.
Thus, Jaseb's future was predetermined from a young age - he was destined to become a pilgrim and leave his home planet to seek a better life elsewhere. After completing his primary education, he was separated from his family and sent to be educated by the Sanctum Transpoli. This transhumanistic church taught him about life beyond his planet's boundaries. While some might argue that Jaseb and others like him were conditioned to accept their fate, to him, it was an opportunity to explore the world beyond his planet's confines.

When he turned 17, it was time for him to leave his home and start his journey in life. He decided to explore the galaxy and spent the next two years traveling across the stars, trying to find his purpose in life. However, his journey was not as smooth as he had imagined. He encountered discrimination for the first time in his life based on his religion and appearance. People whispered slanders and rumors behind his back, which he found difficult to accept. Nevertheless, he learned to adapt to the harsh realities of the world and became resilient. He persevered through the challenges and decided to pursue his passions by applying to the Starfleet Academy.

In 2400, he graduated from Starfleet Academy with a double major in Intelligence and Engineering, with a focus on data analysis, extraction, and cybernetics. During his studies, he also earned a law degree and is now a registered lawyer with the Acamar Federal Bar.

After graduating, his first official posting was as an operations officer on the USS Artemis-A.

Service History

USS Artemis

   
USS Artemis-ALuna classAddison MacKenzie

2400

Both Sides Now

The mission was mostly played with alternate characters. See mission log - Both Sides Now (Artemis) - for details.

After he completed Starfleet Academy's final examination, Ensign Chevalier was transferred to the Luna class explorer USS Artemis-A in 240009. He first boarded the ship shortly after the Artemis was ordered to a deep-level sensor sweeps research mission across the Borderlands, and quickly, he got thrown into work to make the sensors running around the clock.[1] This being his first mission as the officer of the Starfleet, Jaseb wanted to make a good impression and was too eager to make an impression and came with harsh, but logic solution to the problem.[2]

As weeks onboard were coming and going, Jaseb got around the clock with a peaceful, calm life onboard. But that changed quickly when the ship's mission changed dramatically, as a group of unknown ships crossed over from another universe. First – CIC Desdemona – hailed Artemis asking for assistance, second fired (ineffectually) on the Artemis. The Artemis was then forced to respond to the hostile action, destroying the ship.

Jaseb is transferred from the Bridge to the OPS Center at Deck 5 and serves the graveyard shift, processing shipwide operation requests and energy logistics. He uses his newfound freedom to investigate his Desdemona's counterpart, Unit-J. He writes a technical memo to SFI about his counterpart's abilities, trying to impress the ship's Chief Intelligence Officer, Lt. Cmdr Talos Dakora. [3]

It was a couple of days later at the OPS Center, where Gruppie met his hero when LTCDR Talos Dakora visited Jaseb to get information about movements of the Desdemona crew and Unit-Jduring Desdemona's attempt to take over the ship. Jaseb was able to pinpoint his counterpart's approximate location and gave the information to the commander. [4] When the commander left the OPS Center, Jaseb tried to disable Unit-J, his counterpart, but failed. With the help of his boyfriend - PO3 Damien Black, SFI Computer Specialist - he finds the backdoor changes he made to his other mainframe program were deleted, and he's not able to stop his counterpart killing spree over the Artemis. [5] and decided to confront his counterpart personally.

With the help of Ens Kawarda - whom Jaseb recruited during his pursuit of Unit-J - Jaseb reached deck 15, just to find his counterpart is already dead. Altogether with Ens Kawarda engaged directly into the stalemate between Col MacKenzie (who impersonates the captain of Artemis, Capt Addison MacKenzie) and LtCdr Talos Dakora. After a short tactical negotiation, he shot Col MacKenzie multiple times, which shocked the Artemis officers due to the lack of necessity for his “overzealous” behavior. LtCmd Talos Dakora reprimanded Jaseb and put him on the bench directly in place, which slapped Jaseb out of his adrenaline rush. [6] He is kept to secure the tertiary command processors on deck 15, left to his sorrow and shame...

Shoreleave 240012-240101 (Betazed)

The Artemis spent the shoreleave near Betazed.

Jaseb reached the end of the mission in not quite the best mental state. The confrontation with his alternate self and the death of his double took a heavy toll on his self-awareness and faith. [7] [8]

During a debriefing with CIO Dakora, Jaseb began to feel uneasy when Dakora expressed concerns about Ensign Chevalier's character and mental state. Jaseb tried to remember his actions on Deck 15, which had led to his reprimands. However, his technologically enhanced memory failed him, and he was unable to recall the events due to a mix of conditioning, guilt, and trauma. His mind seemed to protect itself from the emotional distress he had experienced during his encounter with his alter-double and Shint’MacKenzie by alternating his memories about his thoughts and feelings during that engagement. [9][10]
During his debriefing with his idol, Jaseb expressed his desire to be transferred to SFI, but Lt. Commander Dakora, Chief Intelligence Officer aboard the USS Artemis, refused his request. Despite the denial, Jaseb remained hopeful. [11]

After the incident involving the apprehension of Shint'MacKenzie, Jaseb was ordered by the acting XO, Talos Dakora to undergo mandatory retraining on phaser handling under the supervision of Ensign Savel. [12] Ensignr Savel took his training to the next level by preparing for Jaseb tactical training, which involved mastering a complex rescue operation with hostages under high-stress situations. In addition to the standard test of firearm control, he learned Jaseb the intricacies of hostage negotiation, crisis management, and rapid response tactics to ensure the safety of all involved. [13] Jaseb successfully completed his training with flying colors. [14]

After arriving on Betazed for shore leave, Jaseb was visited by his colleague, Ensign Flint Kader, who served as the helm officer onboard the Artemis. Ensign Kader was being investigated for alleged collaboration with the enemy and sought Jaseb's legal advice. Jaseb agreed to represent him as his legal counsel in the case and started the legal proceedings. [15] Ensign Kader received a formal letter of reprimand, probation, and transfer to a new Starfleet installation as part of a settlement reached outside of court-martial.

Jaseb, who was dealing with his own personal trauma, was approached by Lieutenant Silveira with a special request. Silveira wanted a tombstone made for his lost love, Shint'Jo, who had been killed by the commander of the Shintverse crew - Colonel MacKenzie. Jaseb took on the project as his own and got to work on creating the memorial for Silveira's beloved. [16] Jaseb worked tirelessly to come to terms with the guilt he felt over the pain his Shint other had caused the Artemis crew. His redemption came in the form of a project - designing a stunning tombstone by combining black granite with a marble tree. Sil chose one that featured a granite tombstone wrapped around a marble tree, creating a heart between them, as a symbol of the love he lost in Jo. [17]

After completing a project involving tombstones, Jaseb was granted three days off to spend on Betazed. During his time off, he decided to visit Dalaria in order to meet his partner's parents. He was expecting a difficult situation due to both families' political connections. However, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Damien's parents were accepting of their relationship. Jaseb had a lovely afternoon with Damien and his parents, and was unaware of the potential consequences that could arise from their relationship. Unfortunately, Damian's parents harbored fear towards Jaseb due to his father, and Jaseb was blissfully unaware of how much this relationship might backfire on him in the future... [18]

Pleasantly rejuvenated from his shore leave on Betazed, Jaseb returned to work just in time to accommodate his new roommate, helm officer Ensing Z'Vahme, and secure Artemis with a new ship's bosun, CPO Ral. [19], organized a fire training for the new members of the DC teams aboard the Artemis and take part in training in emergency procedures with Engineering. [20] [21]. At the end of Artemis' shore leave at Betazed, Jaseb was almost keelhauled by his superior for taking over his duties without authorization while the division commander was away. [22]

Jaseb gracefully avoided immediate punishment by disappearing back to Betazed to attend an Artemis awards ceremony at the Fifth Chalice bar in Oxeania. As the ceremony was about to start, PO3 Black found Jaseb at the Starfleet Academy Campus in Delaria. Jaseb was in a state of depression, for reasons unknown. Just in time, Black managed to take Jaseb to the Fifth Chalice, preventing anyone from noticing that Ensign Chevalier was missing from the ceremony. [23]. During the ceremony, Jaseb received the Quantum Reality Service Medal and Good Conduct Ribbon for his actions during the Shint assault at the USS Artemis. [24]

Note that the next mission began immediately following the events in the awards ceremony.


End of the year 2400

Alternate History

Betazed, 2401

Alternate History (Artemis)
Note that this mission began immediately following the events in the awards ceremony during the previous shoreleave.

Jaseb was conversing with Lieutenant Commander Dakora and Ensign Z'Vahme at the Fifth Chalice bar in Oxeania, Betazed, after the awards ceremony had ended. Suddenly, there was a loud snap of fingers, and Jaseb found herself in a completely different location and time, only with Dakora, Z'Vahme, and Savel. [25]


CloQ Overture, 2376 (Leera Dakora)

Later, they identify they are in Lt.Cmdr. Dakora's hometown of Medara, which has been occupied by the Dominion, forcing commander and his team of Ensigns (Savel, Chevalier, and Z'Vahme) to relocate to another area of Betazed. When dropped into an active conflict zone between the Dominion and the local resistance cells, the group manages to escape a Jem'Hadar patrol by taking refuge in an abandoned building. There, they unexpectedly encounter Leera Dakora, a member of the Betazoid Resistance Network and Lt.Cmdr. Dakora's mother, who, according to the real timeline, should not be alive at this point. However, it becomes evident that more than the ongoing occupation in 2376 is amiss with the timeline. [26]

After Mrs. Dakora recognizes her son, a group of Jem'Hadar interrupt them and force their way out of the community center. With only one phaser between five people, Mrs. Dakora takes charge and guides the group through an access tunnel leading to the resistance network beneath the city. Ensign Chevalier lays a dastardly chemical booby trap for the Jem'Hadar pursuers while Lt.Cmdr. Dakora leads his team down the tunnel. Meanwhile, Mrs. Dakora stays behind to complete her mission of demolishing a major crossroads and a nearby building to delay and obstruct the occupying Dominion forces on Betazed. After Lt.Cmdr. Dakora briefs his team on the identity of their rescuer and the complication of her continued existence in this version of 2376 while Mrs. Dakora is away, the Starfleet Officers realize that their displacement is likely related to her. Hence, they accompany her back to the Resistance Hideout, located beneath Lt.Cmdr. Dakora's childhood home. [27][28]

The group meets there meets Leera's Resistance Cell. Lt.Cmdr. Dakora is introduced as a cousin to the resistance and the Starfleet Officers are given disguises and briefed about an upcoming operation. The mission is to destroy the numerous Ketracel White factories that the Dominion has built in the region. The chances of success are slim, but if they succeed, it will deal a severe blow to the Jem'Hadar soldiers' efficiency in their alternative reality war against the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. Lt.Cmdr. Dakora ensures that his crew all have the chance to reject participating in the operation, but they all step forward and participate. With the help of Nieran Dwayx, his mother's second-in-command, Dakora and his team finalize the plan for the next day's operation. [29][30]

On the following day, the Starfleet Officers skillfully disguised themselves and boarded a Work-Sled to infiltrate the factory. They were confident that their fake IDs would allow them access past the security checkpoint. However, the situation escalated, and they found themselves in a heated altercation with the Jem'Hadar security checkpoint outside the factory. Despite this setback, the officers were well-prepared with multiple contingency plans and quickly shifted to their backup plan. They swiftly dispatched the Jem'Hadar without raising any alarm within the factory itself. After looting the Jem'Hadar's bodies, the officers continued into the heart of the factory. Upon reaching their destination, they split into two groups, each with a specific target in mind. Mrs. Dakora, Lt.Cmdr. Dakora, and Ensign Savel headed towards one target, while Nieran Dwayx and Ensign Chevalier went after another. [31][32]

Ensign Chevalier and the group of resistance members accompanying him move towards the Industrial Exhaust Manifold, having separated from the rest of the group. As per the plan, Dwayx deactivates the plasma vents to provide access to Ensign Chevalier and another resistance member to the key node to which the explosives are to be attached. However, this is when Dwayx decides to betray the group. He uses a Jem'Hadar disruptor, which they had taken from the security enforcers, to kill his fellow resistance comrade - Zarek - standing next to him. Dwayx then reactivates the plasma vents, trapping Ensign Chevalier in the manifold and preparing to flood it with plasma to incinerate him and Nikka, another member of the resistance group. Ensign Chevalier, desperate to find a way out, repeatedly shoots the interior of the plasma tube with his coilgun to place shape charges, giving him a chance to escape. When the charges explode, it triggers an unexpected structural collapse, causing both trapped men to fall down to the lower corridor and leaving most of the area in a broken, dusty state of rubble. However, Dwayx is nowhere to be found. [33]

Upon witnessing the destruction caused by the explosions, Jaseb became disoriented. Ensign Savel arrived to help, but it was too late to prevent Nieram's betrayal. The two ensigns caught up on what had happened, and LtCmdr Dakora rejoined them. Ensign Chevalier, driven by anger and thirst for revenge against Nieram's actions, urged his fellow officers to head towards the final target in the factory to prevent the Jem'Hadar from massacring the Resistance. During the following engagement, Jaseb miraculously managed to contact the second resistance group but was grievously injured. He narrowly escaped death in his completely unnecessary risk, as just a second later, a group of Resistance fighters led by Gozman Illux arrived to assist. Illux informed them about the presence of a new Starship, the Artemis, in orbit of the planet, and provided them with a repaired Jem'Hadar transport so they could return to their ship. He then went back to the factory to search for survivors. [34]

The team's escape from the factory went smoothly, but as they prepared to leave orbit, Ensign Savel realized that their cloaking device had malfunctioned. They were now visible to the Jem'Hadar patrols surrounding the planet.

The shuttle is shot down... and Jaseb died, in this strange land, at this very strange time... [35]


CloQ Recitative, USS Artemis-A, who knows when (Empress Tevet Elain)

Jaseb woke up on the bridge of Artemis, surprised to find himself unharmed and alive. However, his mind and memories were telling him a different story, making him believe that he had died elsewhere and that the experience had been painful. He was struggling to understand what had happened to him. According to his mind, he had died on Betazed. The only logical explanation was that he was now in purgatory, living through hell... [36]

And even though it didn't make sense, the reality around him very quickly convinced him that he really was in purgatory, maybe in a slightly different time and a different place, but still in the same reality. The USS Artemis was now targeted by the Betazoid fleet, led by the Empress of Betazed, Tevet Elain. Nothing like that happened in Jaseb's reality, but this here and now was a new reality he needed to comprehend with.

Artemis Chief Engineer Yellir, Jaseb as OPS, and Ensign from Security, Kel Solas, worked together in cooperation to devise a plan to escape from the clutches of Betazoids and their Empress, using Commander Adea as bait. For some reason, his alter-reality old friend became obsessed with the commander and planned to take revenge on him for the betrayal that no one on the Artemis bridge could imagine that their commander Adea, the light of goodness, would be capable of. [37]

The plan required them to sacrifice heavily on the ship systems, but they were determined to execute it successfully. They decided to use antimatter radiation to blind the enemy fleet, which gave them a chance to flee to a nearby Class 9 Nebula. Once there, they could take shelter and hide from their enemies, giving them time to regroup and come to terms with the new reality they faced. [38]

Hiding in the nebula, Commander Adea, Lieutenant Yellir, and Ensigns Chevalier and Kel tried to come up with a solution to confront the Empress of Betazed. Jaseb, being Jaseb, came up with a possible solution to disable the Empress's ships through the morally questionable use of weaponized sound. But this time, he himself felt this solution was not entirely compatible with him being a Starfleet officer, and when he spoke, he felt something he rarely felt before, some emotion he didn't have a name for. [39]

Jaseb was surprised that Commander Adea, a Betazoid himself, did not react negatively to Jaseb's suggestion. Commander decided to implement the proposal despite the risk that the frequency amplitude could destabilize the core, as that was the problem for tomorrow's Artemis...

Lately, they changed the parameters to use Chevalier's proposal as a decoy to lure the Empress fleet into the minefield created by Artemis torpedoes, instead of using it as a weapon. Jaseb was unsure if it was possible, so he suggested that Chief Ral, the ship's boatswain, coordinate the modification of Artemis' probes for a new purpose with the scientific department. [40]

Adea, Yellir, Chevalier, and Kel onboard Artemis had meticulously planned everything, and their strategy had a good chance of succeeding. However, fate had other plans. Just as they were about to execute their plan, the Artemis detected an incoming tricobalt torpedo launched by Betazoids. Ironically, the torpedo was launched on a ballistic curve in a similar fashion to the ones the Artemis crew had planned to use, for Artemis too late to react...


CloQ Chorus, Duet, and Beyond; USS Artemis-A, 2401 (The End)

Jaseb woke up abruptly as he fell off his bed. He felt disoriented, trying to make sense of his memories and emotions. In a state of panic, he rushed to the next room, only to realize that Ensign Z'Vahme had never actually lived there. The weight of his past experiences caught up with him, and he just gave up, unable to cope with the trauma that had accumulated over time of CloQ's torture... [41]

Shoreleave 240104-240105 (DS9)

He tried to leave a good impression

The Artemis spent the shoreleave near Deep Space Nine

Jaseb, stepping into his shift the day after Artemis docked at DS9, found himself in a bizarre dichotomy. On one hand, it was just another day, a routine he was all too familiar with. On the other, the ship had just traversed the unfathomable forces of time and space, courtesy of its nemesis, the all-powerful CloQ.

Even though the ship and its crew had been missing for months, and who knew where who had been exposed to what, Jaseb quickly learned that specific wheels of bureaucracy were turning regardless of what had happened yesterday. As the saying goes, "Work is legless; it's not going anywhere." Similarly, the consequences of his previous shore leave indiscretions loomed over him, waiting to be fulfilled.

Jaseb chose to start with the after-mission debriefing with Commander Dakora, hoping he would make a good impression and get reassigned to SFI or promoted, whichever comes first. [42]

But the debriefing did go quickly sideways, burying any chances of him leaving a good impression. On the contrary, it left Jaseb in a bad spot, drawing him into his trauma from the mission even more. [43] First Officer Dakora tried to calm his worries and insecurities, but as the future showed, being calm—at least for a little while—was not in Jaseb's cards. [44]


Shaw wants you to do all the PADDwork

As Jaseb left the First Officer's office, a colleague from his department, quartermaster CPO Ral Shaw, approached him. She was all nice and friendly about it, but in the end, she planned to throw him under the bus for a problem she didn't want to deal with. Shaw made sure to add his name to the documentation. This way, if her discovery turned out to be one big PADDwork horror she expected it to be, she wouldn't be solely responsible for dealing with authorities and could avoid dealing with all the paperwork by making it a problem in the hands of the supervising officer. [45]


Phantom pain medical

Following his work schedule from hell, Ensign Chevalier visit Artemis sickbay to update firmware for biobeds. [46] After finishing his assignment, Jaseb reluctantly seeks medical help for the phantom pains he's been experiencing since his last mission. He wonders if he's still carrying some hidden injury from the mission or if there's a lingering piece of time-traveled shrapnel inside him. The medical examination unfolds as anticipated, uncovering that Jaseb's pain is not rooted in a physical ailment but is instead attributed to psychological factors. [47]


It's a scientific exercise, not live ammunition training!

During the ship's shore leave at DS9, Lt. Jovenan took advantage of everyone's free time and organized a scientific training session on the nearby planet Bajor. [48] Jaseb joined the exercise alongside fellow ensigns, Savel and Gnai, as well as crewman Renirs. Jaseb made a lighthearted joke before they began about the bad luck he had experienced at Savel's side during their last mission, unaware that this field trip would lead to another entry in his diary titled "Why Not Travel with Savel at His Side." [49] As they train in the Rakantha province, a region of Bajor that was heavily polluted and devastated during the Cardassian occupation decades ago, Jaseb is vigilant to avoid any potential poisoning, irradiation or else. Jaseb has been placed in a team with his longtime friend, Ensign Savel. Jaseb convinced Savel to take the lead in their team, with the two of them working closely together as buddies. [50] During their expedition to the province, Jaseb was engrossed in delving into the sorrowful history of the area using scientific methods. This allowed him to dedicate more of his attention to organizing his jumbled thoughts, compelling him to confront not only the events that transpired on CloQ's Betazed thirty years ago, but also to gain a deeper understanding of the cruelty one can cause to another. [51] [52]

However, their educational field trip was suddenly interrupted when the second group of the landing party stumbled upon an unexpected surprise. While exploring a nearby cave, they discovered a long-forgotten smuggler's hideout and warehouse, secured by a minefield. Jaseb and Savel immediately set out to help. After briefly considering the possibilities, they quickly assessed the situation, weighing the options for aiding their injured colleagues who were trapped. Without hesitation, they entered the cave, determined to evacuate the wounded and provide assistance. Their strategy seemed solid, and they managed to solve the problem successfully. However, their triumph was marred when Jaseb accidentally triggered one of the mines himself. [53]

Jaseb's brain started to race to find a solution to the problem he was facing. There were so many options... but the more he explored the mine he stood on, the more he realized that what he had stepped on would not be possible to estimate at all. It was an old, mechanical bounding mine - an instrument of unnecessary cruelty with one purpose only -- killing as many people as possible. It was a cruel irony. His unorthodox training at the Academy had stripped him of any hope, leaving him with a singular realization - he could not intimidate Savel, Jovenan, or anyone else who might come to his aid. With a heavy heart, he bid farewell to his beloved and resigned himself to his inevitable fate. [54]

Jaseb, critically wounded with one leg shattered and torn off, was evacuated by Lt. Jovenan, whom he had been determined to protect. She she risked her life anyway and did not left him behind. This wasn't Starfleet way. [55]

He expected to die instantly, but the Prophets and constructors of the device of terror had different plans for him. The Bajoran Militia swooped in to rescue the wounded Renirs, Jo, and Jaseb altogether with Gnai and Savel, rushing them to safety at the trauma center in Rakantha Central Hospital. Jaseb was immediately rushed into life-saving surgery, teetering on the brink of death. Despite the dire circumstances, the hospital staff worked tirelessly to save his life, refusing to let the darkness win. [56] [57] [58] [59]


Long way to recovery ahead...

After undergoing a critical operation and a brief recovery in the hospital's Intensive Care Unit, Jaseb was transported to Sickbay aboard the Artemis. He remained unconscious for five arduous days, his body slowly recuperating from the severe injuries sustained. [60]

When he recovered - at least physically - he was released for home care and a partial return to duty with very basic administrative assignment. Upon his return, he was greeted by his roommate, Ensign Gnai, and they were both thrilled to finally have the opportunity to get to know each other. [61]

Except they are now three in the quarters - Damien, his boyfriend, had become extremely overprotective and attentive towards Jaseb and moved with Jaseb. [62] However, this only deepened Jaseb's feelings of despair, as he had no escape from his inner torment. Jaseb resorted to solitude, and more Damien gave Jaseb attention, the more unbearable for Damien Jaseb become. Even his efforts to get back Jaseb on his feet as soon as possible did not succeed, because there are things that even a will can't succeed, as his physiotherapist - Chief Cliffhigh said to Jaseb. [63]

Jaseb finally broke, and had a bloody fight with Damien. Damien left him, and Jaseb realizes after the incident that Lieutenant Sadar was right so many days ago - he needs psychological help. [64]


Medals, promotions and Frontier Day ahead

Jaseb attended the award ceremony aboard the USS Artemis, in the ship's bar, Elysium, along with his fellow ensigns - Ensign Gnai and Ensign Savel.

Jaseb was awarded the Silver Star and Defense of Temporal Flow Ribbon for his contribution to CloQ's wickedness jokes. As part of CloQ's wickedness, LtCmdr. Dakora, Chevalier, and Savel were sent to an alternative Dominion War timeline in the post-2370s. Gnai, a young Galadoran Science Officer, was awarded the Prisoner of War Ribbon for enduring the horrors introduced by CloQ. During the ceremony, Ensign Savel was promoted to LtJG, but this meant he couldn't sit at the table with the others because of an "Ensign only" rule. It's important to note that Jaseb and Gnai didn't actually intend to follow this inside joke. [65]

After the main ceremony, the "Ensigns only" table received a visit from the ship's XO, Lt. Commander Dakora. Jaseb and Gnai joined the discussion about their experiences, not only caused by CloQ, but also the tragedy that turned a routine training mission on Bajor into a fight for their lives. The discussion gets deeper than expected, especially after another ensign - Kel Solas - joins the table. [66]

Frontier Day, 2401

SABOTEURS IN THE BADLANDS
SPACE IN, SPACE OUT

WIP


Relationships

Family
Timothee
Father
The dynamic between Jaseb and his father is marked by strained relations. Jaseb's father holds high expectations for him, but exhibits minimal interest in his son as he is the third child in the family.
Ana
Mother
Jaseb's mother always offered him love and unwavering support, helping him grow into the wonderful person he is today. Unlike his father, she never viewed him as a burden, even though he was the third child.
Thomas
Oldest brother
Thomas, as the first child, always received more attention and praise while Jaseb, being the third child, was frequently ignored. Thomas followed in their father's footsteps to become a Thanata, while Jaseb's calling was to become a pilgrim. Their nine-year age difference and differing social statuses contributed to the lack of a close bond between them.
Armand
Older brother
Armand was always close to Jaseb's heart. They were both free-spirited individuals, unbound by family obligations and traditions. They could always be who they wanted to be, and they both enjoyed life to the fullest.
USS Artemis-A
Talos Dakora
Father figure to Jaseb
Jaseb worshiped Commander Dakora even before being assigned to serve aboard the USS Artemis. When it happened, to his displeasure as a member of OPS and not as an intelligence analyst, he finally had a chance to meet his hero in person. Ever since, he has been trying to impress him enough to accept him into his department. Some may say that Jaseb is too hard-working, too fixated, too stubborn in this pursuit. However, he knows what he wants and goes after his goals relentlessly.
Dakora: ...if I ever see that again you’ll be riding back from whence you came in the brig. Understood?

Chevalier: ::trying to find his voice:: Sir... aye, sir.[67]

Vitor Silveira
Brought together through tragedy
Silveira had a passionate romance with Jovenan's alternate universe counterpart during Jaseb's first mission on Artemis. However, her life was abruptly cut short. The tragic event brought Jaseb and Sil closer, and Jaseb's assistance with the Shint'Jo funeral played a crucial role in achieving a shared sense of reconciliation...
Silveira: I really can't thank you enough. And please call me Vitor or Sil, after all we are on down time...
Chevalier: Jaseb, nice to meet you, Sil... [68]
Savel
Strange ears, but he gained J's respect
Brought together by fate, or rather by CloQ, Jaseb and Savel learned to trust each other. Although Savel still finds Jaseb quite...illogical...
Savel: Can you tell what his intentions are, Commander?
Dakora: No, but if it doesn’t work we’ll be stuck on Risa with no horga’hn, if you know what I mean. [69]
Gnai
Rommie
Gnai is a new, third roomate to Jaseb. They first met at Bajor, during the routine scientific tricorder training session. Everything went wrong, and nothing was routine about that training mission. Jaseb lost his leg to mine, crewman Renirs was seriously wounded, and Jaseb nor Gnai expected this would be the time they met.
There was too much blood to tell who it came from, and where it came from. Gnai had never seen that much blood in its life, but here it was, covering the officers and slowly spreading across the pad.

The worst part was the leg. The shards of bone that stuck out from it sent shivers across Gnai's tendrils, and it found itself unable to look at it any longer.[70]

Sheathed Sword 2401
USS Artemis-A
It's been a very recent injury, but Jaseb Chevalier has been working on exploring the consequences of losing his leg to a mine on Bajor. It's been interesting to get to read about how his character, who already has lots of cybernetics, has needed to adjust to a new robotic leg, as well as how he has taken the time to do physical therapy to better acclimate to it.
