Michael Jellico: Difference between revisions

Michael began his career as a complete profession, reliable, willing to learn and extremely hard working. He received recognition in the logs of his first CO for his part in the rescue of two junior officers from a compartment fire in his ships science labs.  

Michael climbed the enlisted ‘ratings’ with relative quickness until he reached Acting Petty Officer First Class aboard the USS Illustrious. Michael was given the opportunity to serve as the Captain's Yeomen but was ill suited to the role and received an unsatisfactory in his official review leading him to be stripped of his acting rank and moved position. Michael’s demeanor while on duty and off changed dramatically due to what he saw as unfair treatment. During this time Michael was reprimanded for various infractions including, three physical altercations between himself and off duty Marine personnel and being suspected as supplying the ship’s crew with contraband. On the last occasion, five cases of Romulan Ale  found in a one of the ship's shuttles that was listed as down for repair. While it could not be proven by the senior staff that these were Michael’s, it could be proven that Michael had been recently fighting and there was enough circumstantial evidence against him to strip him of his Petty Officer 2nd Class rating and transfer him off of the ship.

After two more excellent reviews, Michael was again transferred, this time to the USS Victory.

Michael joined the Victory and was assigned as an NCO in the gamma shift engineering team. During his first mission on the ship, the victory was contacted by a crew from the future and warned about an upcoming invasion from a species known as ‘The Hunger.’ The crew of the Victory was able to prevent this invasion but during the final the ship was boarded by highly poisonous bug like creatures under the control of The Hunger. Michael was in engineering when the ship was boarded and during the fight he was bitten in the forearm, fearing certain death after seeing a crewmen die from a similar bite within a minute; Michael preformed an amputation of his arm with a wielding touch. The amputation almost cost him his life but he was saved by the Victory’s marine compliment and medical staff.  

During his time as Gunner’s Mate Michael often took the tactical console while the senior officers were on stand down or on away missions. During one such away mission, the Victory was surprised attacked. With entire senior staff on an away mission and much of the Victory exposed to vacuum, Michael was battle field promoted to Petty Officer 1st Class by the Acting CO Lieutenant J.G Shedet so that he could take command of the remaining engineering section and begin repairing the ship. While that role was only temporary his promotion was not revoked when the senior staff returned. 

** '''Below is the attached report of Doctor Rangi Summers - Lieutenant Junior Grade Beta Shift Medical Officer, USS Victory.''' Michael Jellico was operated on by Doctor Talia Kaji and Head Nurse Sarah Red Elk approximately two hours after the amputation, the time delay was due to the fact that the battle in Engineering continued after Michael's injury and the ship's Marines and security team were not able to retrieve the wounded until all of the creatures were killed. Michael was able to survive that time due to Cauterizing effect of the instrument used, a wielding touch. The field amputation was done by Mr. Jellico on himself after seeing a ship mate dissolve from a corrosive venom, we are still studying this venom and its effect at the time of this report. Aside from a fever and some hallucinations due an aggressive bacterial infection the patient is in good health and is expected to make a full recovery, minus the missing limb. Unfortunately the amputation caused a great deal of damage the surviving remnants of the arm, most troubling is the damage inflicted to the nerves of the arm - side note, amputation was roughly twelve centimeters below the left elbow. - It's possible that Petty Officer Jellico will have to accept a cruder prosthetic due to the damage that the surviving nerves suffered, they may be too badly damaged to interact with a biosynthetic replacement.
