Chase Valaine: Difference between revisions

# '''Mission #1''' Chase joined the crew of the USS Avandar with his feet running, making friends and enemies alike among the staff.  Having annoyed Security Chief Eerie by creating a holographic Brikar-style throne in the Security Office, skulls and incense included, as well as musically courting whatever lovely ladies he could spy in 10-Forward or the Comet Club, he made a loud initial statement on duty and off.  A date with DeBarres gone wrong, his shoulder was dislocated in a spat with the Marine Beornan, but his plans for justice against Beornan would have to be put on hold.  Ecstatic to be sent on his first away mission, the team investigated a Count of questionable origin who relied on slave labor and medical experimentation on sentient beings to fuel his life-extending and money-making experiments.  The infected slaves became little more than walking husks driven by mindless hunger, zombie-like, and the crew had to fight their way out to avoid joining the ranks.  Evanna Blackwood was KIA and tr'Khellian was infected.  Chase was bitten while defending a crewmate, his arm severely injured and was subsequently infected with the virus.  Shuttled back to the Avandar the away team was quarantined.  The virus nearly took hold of his body and mind, but was staved off by Medical Chief Malcolm and Doctor Robins skill.  Chase's arm would require extensive surgery to repair once the virus was cured.

# '''Break #1''' Chase, cured of the zombification virus, took his free time by the horns.  Having previously impressed the lovely Doctor Robins, she chose him for her unfortunately rushed need of a pregnancy to avoid being forced into an undesireable marriage by her home world laws.  Despite the circumstances, he had no complaint with completing the intimate request.  Having completed that "duty," he moved on to getting his revenge against [[Oumriel, Beornan|Marine Beornan]] via a weaving conspiracy which would brand the Marine a criminal.  (Having had his shoulder dislocated in their earlier fight over his date with [[DeBarres, Charlotte|DeBarres]], Chase phasered himself to add to the unexplained assaults against him to use as leverage against Beornan.)  Having set enough dead ends and given enough conflicting reports to keep the Security Chief and Intel Officers running in suspicious circles, he wasn't 100% successful in the end, but managed to drag the Marine through enough stress to satisfy his somewhat psychotic desire for revenge.  The crew was unable to prove his involvement, but he recieved 3 weeks restriction to duty, a reprimand that would be removed from his record after 18 months good behavior, and was ordered into counseling.

# '''Personal Mission''' Reassigned to a duty away from the Avandar, Chase found himself assigned to an exciting new mission concerning espionage to an unnamed forbidden planet with no Federation foothold.  To arrive there undetected, he traveled for 37 days in a Class Three Probe outfitted to maintain life support.  Using calculations and gravitational influences of a nearby star and a plant, drifting through space with the smallest of propulsion control, Chase's probe nearly bounced off a Klingon Bird of Prey before his arrival on the forbidden world.  Little else is known about his mission.

# '''Break #2''' After completing his espionage-related mission and returning to known-active duty with Starfleet, Chase was assigned to the Vigilant on open Intelligence duty.  This was a change from his mission on the Avandar, which had been to investigate the crew, in particular the Captain and her partner.

# '''Mission 2''' On the Zakdorn home world, embroiled in political intrigue and deception, the Vulcans were blamed for certain information being collected from the Vigilant.  A virus planted on ship led to the abandonment of the vessel temporarily, and the planet plunged into turmoil and outright war.  The crew survived, but only by fighting the Suliban, who were suspected of being used as patsies to do some other species (or entities) dirty work.  It is unknown if Chase had to kill anyone during the battle, and he isn't talking about it.

# '''Break #3''' Housed on the Zakdorn home world in a Grand Hotel, the crew took leave after the battle for survival and while the Vigilant was repaired.  Chase took up drinking and a variety of night time rendezvous' as a method of self-therapy, but managed to spend some quality time with his good Brekkazoid friend Sky Blake.  Here he revealed that, after the fighting had died down, he had received a communique from his birth-parents.  Out of jail and supposedly making a "new life," they insisted on traveling into Deep Space to visit him for the first time in over 10 years.  He also revealed that his ex-wife Talya and daughter Xena were currently in hiding, safe from her overbearing government, and that though he couldn't be with them he was content they were safe.
