Jorus Cogud: Difference between revisions

After the mission to Gurab II, the crew of the Discovery had shore leave on earth. Cogud decided for his shore leave he would enter the Sol System Rally, and so raised a team of [[Raine Vedra]], [[Frye, Rostan|Rostan Frye]] and [[Waltas, Daisha|Daisha Waltas]]. Unfortunately during a private meeting Cogud racially attacked Vedra because of his upbringing and own experiences with Orions. This caused much tension between the two men before and after the race. Luckily enough the race itself was a big enough distraction for them both so it didn't interfere with their performence. The team won the race, they were presented with a trophy by Cogud's friend and the race coordinator David Vestor.  

Upon joining the crew of the Discovery, Cogud was pushed straight into the action. The Shape shifting serial killer Zero was aboard the Discovery, and the USS Achilles was crashed on the planet below, ridden with a plague that only Zero could cure. Upon reaching the bridge Cogud sat at the helm for a short while when he was asked to join Cmdr Mitchell in the shuttle, the USS Darwin. The mission was to determine the whereabouts of the Achilles on the planet. After a fight with the atmosphere the shuttle began to crash on the planet, Cogud was beamed off leaving Commander Mitchell. Cogud quickly manged to escape sickbay and he headed for the bridge with the coordinates of the Achilles. He made it to the bridge and took his station only to find he had somehow been infected with the deadly plague. As the mission developed Dr Aven Morning-Song gave Cogud a symptom relief allowing Cogud to go about his duties in an EV suit. After a small amount of Duty with the symptom relief Cogud had to return to sickbay where a cure had been synthesized and Jorus was forced to play nurse while Dr. Aven administered the cure to Commander Mitchell. Cogud was then given the cure and returned to duty. He was part of the effort to rescue the Achilles from the planet and responsible for the idea of diving in and getting them out. After a successful mission for his efforts at the helm Jorus was promoted to Lt JG.

During shore leave on Sigma Iotia II, Jorus Cogud and his godfather Zug went on a hunt for profit, they sought out [[Luciano, Nicholas "Nickels"|Lt JG Nickles]], the Discovery's Chief of Security at the time. Him and his family had an involvement in a smuggling operation, in the interest of mutual profit Cogud agreed to help Nickels track down the culprits for the loss of many Iotian lives. After the agreement was made Cogud and Nickels' Iotian Clee, Alibi, headed to the docks to look a shipping warehouse, the pair met an Iotian who was loading crates and tried to get a look inside one. They where found by a Ferengi, Mo, who incapacitated Cogud leaving him to be Kidnapped by Menzon, a member of Rose's crew. He then spent a night in the "Reading Gaol" of the Wild Rover (Rose's vessel) he was then united with Captain Waltas and Ensign Amy Young, together they formulated an escape plan and put it into operation with the help of Collim Denari who was also kidnapped. They headed to engineering to try and send a message to the Discovery and drop the Rovers cloak. After a brief battle with Menzon Cogud watched as Amy Young took a knife to her neck. The next thing he knew, a security team beamed over rescuing the group. Cogud found himself in sickbay and was quickly excused and made his way to the bridge to witness the capture of the Rover.

Jorus was present on the bridge during most of the crisis, Cogud along with most of the crew was caught off guard when the Captain called an inspection. This followed with a course being set for Gurab II, where it was believed the Romulans had developed subspace missile technology and where planning to strike earth. On the way they where attacked by Romulans quickly wiping them out but not before communications where down. [[Waltas, Tyr Jashin|Captain Waltas]] decided to continue his mission to perform an orbital strike on the inhabited world. Once at Gurab II Cogud watched as [[Amman, Hsina|Ensign Amman]] threatened the Captain with an antique gun, with Amman controlled a message fragment came to the Discovery leaving the crew split, [[Blueheart, Raj|Commander Blueheart]] wanted to find out what the message said, Captain Waltas wanted to complete the mission and save Earth. With a split crew Commander Blueheart mutineed and took command of the Discovery sending the Captain to the brig. Cogud, although in agreement with the Captain rather than the Commander, followed the FO's orders when two Romulan warbirds attacked. Cogud had to use the manual steering column when Helm Control was temporarily knocked out. After this Cogud stuck on the Bridge, when the Captain returned, Cogud returned to following his orders and was moved the Discovery into position, ready to fire. Soon after Commander Blueheart had left with an away team, the completed message had come through and [[Valdivia, John|Commander Valdivia]] presented another plan to stop any missiles passing. Again this was interrupted when the Missile Complex on the planet fired an EMP at the Discovery leaving multiple systems offline. With Commander Valdivia determined to follow up with his plan, Cogud joined him on a shuttle to stop any missile launches, luckily they didn't have to stop anything as the successful away team returned to the ship, Cogud maneuvered the shuttle back to the ship preparing for the aftermath of the mission.
