Kaitlyn Falcon was born aboard the USS Freedom-A | Kaitlyn Falcon was born aboard the USS Freedom-A. She was raised aboard the ship with her three siblings, learning to enjoy the thrill of exploration and the dangers that came with, at least as much as any kid aboard a Federation starship could. Kaitlyn was especially close to her twin sister, Rebecca. While not physically identical, they tended to act more alike than their other siblings. | ||
As time went on, each of the children started on their separate paths. Alice was drawn to Starfleet, while James preferred a life where he could make his own rules. While Alice excelled at the Academy, James quickly gained great success piloting a Raven-Class starship modified into a tramp freighter, the SS Nova. When the time came to Rebecca and Kaitlyn to choose their paths, Rebecca followed the path to Starfleet. The decision was harder for Kaitlyn. All her life, she had been told she was just like her twin sister. Interested as she might had been in Starfleet, the need to be different influenced her to join with her brother. | As time went on, each of the children started on their separate paths.

Her next mission aboard Vigilant took her to the Duronis II Embassy, where Vigilant's crew assisted with repelling a bluegill infestation. The battle was tough, with Kaitlyn utilizing much of her combat skills honed from years in the Federation's fringes. Though they took casualties, they succeeded. | Her next mission aboard Vigilant took her to the Duronis II Embassy, where Vigilant's crew assisted with repelling a bluegill infestation. The battle was tough, with Kaitlyn utilizing much of her combat skills honed from years in the Federation's fringes. Though they took casualties, they succeeded. | ||
During this time, Kaitlyn started to develop an interest in one of Vigilant's marines, Major Leo Handley-Page. The interest was mutual, leading to time spent together between their missions. The more time they spent, the more Kaitlyn found she liked about the man. | |||
Not long after the mission to Duronis II, Vigilant was due to receive a quantum slipstream drive system. However, a small group of Zalkonians attempted to steal the drive core, taking hostages aboard Deep Space Six, including Vigilant's captain and first officer. Kaitlyn found herself in charge of Vigilant's bridge during this critical time, working hard to manage Vigilant's security response while also supporting crewmembers on the station. She found no small relief when LCDR Eerie returned to the bridge to take command, allowing her to return to her comfort zone at the helm for the following battle. | |||
Her final mission aboard Vigilant was an example of the strange things one could encounter out in the void. Vigilant's crew was snatched away, their memories altered, and all being dropped into a strange scenario known as Ravensville, where she was placed as an ambulance driver. The crew was unharmed by the forced experiment, physically at least, though Kaitlyn will never forgive those who had abducted them after the psychological pain they had caused her. | |||
Following that mission, Kaitlyn found herself transferred to the U.S.S. Darwin-A, and away from many of those she had known, including Leo. Their first mission was to aid a Romulan colony which had suffered a devastating accident. Though she spent much of her time fighting with Darwin's flight controls and later with a Tal'Shair force which attempted to take their bridge, Kaitlyn felt the first mission was pretty much a success. | |||
The crew did not get much of a break before their next mission, tracking down a freighter which had torn away from DS-6 in quite a hurry. They managed to catch the freighter, which they found to be smuggling weapons and an odd chemical. Captain Reinard was attacked by the freighter's first mate, Kaitlyn leaping to the captain's defense and attempting some rather 'aggressive questioning' with the first mate. LCDR Thomas, Darwin's first officer, did not take her actions well, feeling them unbecoming of a Starfleet Officer. Reinard's later bizarre behavior, a direct result of the attack, did little to justify Kaitlyn's actions in Thomas's mind. In the end, Reinard was fine, and the situation was resolved. Thomas gave Kaitlyn a stern lecture about his disagreement with her actions, his language sounding to Kaitlyn as a question of her loyalty. While she was able to continue working with him, her trust in Thomas was destroyed by the incident. | |||
Following the freighter incident, Darwin conducted a follow-up mission to Asav to assess the status of its inhabitants. They found a planet in disarray, factions warring between the biodomes, some worshiping Darwin's crew and others wanting their destruction. Somehow, Darwin's crew managed not only to survive, but to bring the start of peace to the troubled world. | |||
Darwin's final mission gave Kaitlyn a glimpse of another strange thing about the universe. One of the Q Continuum, going by the name Qadira, decided to put the crew to a test based on the vessel's namesake, Charles Darwin. They were thrown back into Earth's late Cretaceous Period, challenged with insuring their own survival, followed shortly thereafter with aiding an injured dinosaur survive the mating season. Their actions were for naught, as they turned out to be on Earth just before the asteroid marking the end of the Cretaceous Period struck. | |||
Before Kaitlyn could even begin to wrap her head around what had happened, she was whisked away with several others of Darwin's crew to the U.S.S. Excalibur-A, once again serving as H/C/O. Once again, she finds herself in a part of space she does not know well, far from her family and old allies. Once again, she gets to start over from almost scratch, though she has proven to herself that in such situations she can thrive. | |||
