Chythar Skyfire/Service Record: Difference between revisions

Born on Earth, raised going to public schools by his father. Calvin did his best to raise the boy after his birth. Captain Skyfire did what she could to raise the boy before she was recalled to negotiate peace between two warring factions on Romulus when Chythar was 12.<br>

[[File:Earth-from-space.jpg|thumb|left|Earth]]

<br>As a result of going to public school, Chythar's interest in science became an obsession. He decided many of the hard sciences interested him: xenobiology, linguistics, and chemistry. By the time he was old enough to enter University of Washington at age 18, he focused primarily on chemistry and linguistics. His adaptability at languages was sophisticated enough that he was able to speak fluently in Greek, Chinese, Latin, Russian, and Hebrew. Captain Skyfire remained on Romulus until the planet was destroyed. Prior to his years at Starfleet, he grew up loving to read anatomy books and spent a good deal of time thinking about what would happen if he ever joined the academy to take after his mother.<br>

<br>Once he graduated high school, he took it upon himself to head to University of Washington where he graduated as an MD.  

 

**Is posted to Starbase 118 Ops as a medical officer.

Chythar spent the next 4 years at Starfleet, working on his science major and two specializations: Xenobiology and Medicine. When he graduated from Starfleet, it was the last time he sees his father as he leaves the nest to go exploring.The fact he is in Starfleet now is almost ironic, given how much he hates Starfleet Command for robbing him of his mother's time. She died while on a Starfleet assignment, so he feels conflicted between his addiction to work in medicine and his duty to the uniform.

His arrival onto Starbase 118 happened just in time for them to leave on the Odyssey mission. He managed to survive his first mission with his mind relatively intact, and afterward had himself a drink with Commander {{n|Benjamin J.|Walker}} and Marine Captain {{n|Joseph|Dubeau}} to discuss a game of poker. He passed out hardcore that night after the fact, due to some Antaran brandy. He woke up in time to learn of a beach party hosted by Lt. Commander {{n|Alexander|Matthews}}, the new first officer. He woke up confused, because far as he knew, Walker was still the first officer.<br>

During his time on Starbase 118, he had hated the Code Blues that always interrupted his off-days. All he wanted to do was have a day to himself, but he tried to be first on the scene whenever Lieutenant {{n|Johanna|MacLaren}} summoned him and one of said Code Blue situations arose. Near the end of his tour on the base, he and the crew were transferred to the {{USS|Excalibur|A}}, a new ''Vesta'' class starship that was launched under Captain {{n|Kali|Nicholotti}}.

*'''{{n|Mandany|Rose}}''': Dany was the first who learned about Chythar's panic attack during his pre-Starfleet years that cause him intense stress when he's under pressure, and is one of the few to whom he has explained his complicated cipher system. She taught him how to recognize the languages he'd lapse into under stress, and encouraged him to keep a 'stress log' that records his thoughts as he panics and starts to lapse into other languages. <!-- Remove from relationships -->

*'''{{n|Ryoji|Chibitsu}}''': Graduated a few months after Chythar, and was stationed aboard the starbase. They met once or twice during this time, and while it is possible that Chibitsu is still on the base it is also equally as likely that the man is now AWOL. <!-- Remove from relationships -->

*'''{{n|Alden|Cuthbert}}''': Not known intimately to Chythar at this point, but they have met.

Once he was transferred onto the USS Excalibur, the first mission they go on involves Chythar attempting to aid Lt. MacLaren in her efforts to stop a catastrophic plague from wiping out the Romulan population on Agurtha. During said efforts, he was injured in an explosion that caused his mind to become haphazard shards of random thought but he was still fully capable of doing his job as a medical officer with only partial hearing. He was dedicated to research, as that was the task that Fleet Captain {{n|Kali|Nicholotti}} had bestowed on him. Due to his fractured thought processes and a low-grade concussion, it took him a few minutes to realize that was what he should be doing and the capacity of being the most useful at the moment. The number of patients greatly outweighed the number of patients, so he was chosen as the research monkey. Hard at work on the cure to the plague, he was too hyper-focused on this to notice at once that Ensign {{n|Alden|Cuthbert}} was in fact suffering from poison and not from the plague itself. [[File:Medics of excalibur.jpg|right|frame|L to R: Skyfire, Morgan, Folds. The medics of Excalibur at launch]]

<br>

:He thought it was the plague at first because of his too-focused mindset. He is also the genius behind the teapaste that [[Skyfire_Saving_Ensign_Cuthbert|saved Alden's life]]. The security ensign's near-death experience averted, Chythar finished what later became known as [[Skyfire_Cure|The Skyfire Cure]]. Within hours after the cure was completed, he was granted the rank of Lieutenant JG and [[SIM:Skyfire, Chythar/Reactions|given awards for his actions.]] The promotion had unnerved him, and he had a nice [[Skyfire_Taybrim:Finding_Balance|chat with Taybrim]].<br /><br />

::Just before they ship out, he makes a friend in {{n|Sal|Taybrim}}, who is the first counselor Chythar's worked with happily since getting out of the academy. Unfortunately, the test of time and life of Starfleet brings Taybrim's time on the {{USS|Excalibur|A}} [[Skyfire_Taybrim:Another_Counselor_Gone|to a close]] as it takes him to the {{USS|Darwin|A}}. During Sal's absence, he realizes he's going to probably wind up breaking a fourth counselor by the name of Ensign {{n|Ceilidh|Riverview}}. Last thing he wanted was to do that, so he set up a [[Skyfire:Sensitive_Subjects|meeting over coffee]] with Lieutenant {{n|Collim Kieran}} in order to reinforce his shields and discuss the current situation with her. The two discussed, and Collim agreed to help reinforce his mental shields only if he set up that  [[Skyfire:Mental_States|appointment with Riverview]] and began the discussion. What seemed like a month to Chythar, [[Skyfire_Taybrim:Reunited|Taybrim's return]] from the ''Darwin'' cause him to hope again. Shortly afterward, the crew engaged the Slipstream drive and appeared in a region of space that began messing with their minds. The doctor was trying to save Ensign {{n|Azin|}}'s life during a [[Dokkaran]] mind meld that [[Skyfire_Azin:Complicated_1|messed with his mind]] in ways that he didn't imagine due to his impressive mental fortitude, for being human. As a result, the meld [[Skyfire_Trapped_In_The_Mind|rewrote his genetic code]] and granted him limited telepathy. Fleet Captain {{n|Kali|Nicholotti}} flies out into the void and seals a rift, creating what is now known as Kali's Scar and is presumably killed in action. During the aftermath, he befriends Marine 1st Lieutenant {{n|Debra|Cross}} in such a fashion that there is the beginnings of a romantic relationship. A day later, he confesses to his friend Taybrim that the love CD has for him is more like that of a brother instead of a lover. That night, after {{n|Vitor|Silveira}}'s court martial, he has dinner with Sal and they talk about life. Realizations dawn, and CD eventually falls asleep. When he wakes up, he has just enough time to inform Cross and Taybrim about his transfer orders to the {{USS|Garuda}}.  

 

*'''{{n|Anscom|Folds}}''' Chythar met him when they served together on board Starbase 118 Ops, and together they saved the life of Ensign Alden Cuthbert. Folds was grateful to have CD in the medical department. They got along well, though in the end it was Anscom who was promoted to Chief Medical Officer of the USS Excalibur-A. Chythar seemed bitter for about ten seconds, but understood that he didn't possess the leadership qualities needed at that time to become chief. <!-- remove from relationships page -->

*'''{{n|Alexander|Morgan}}:''' Both men need to [[SIM:Skyfire Morgan:Learn to trust|learn to trust]] one another, and never spoke except when working together during missions. There wasn't enough time for either man to get to know the other, let alone learn to trust. <!--Remove from relationships page --><br>

*'''{{n|Ceilidh|Riverview}}''': CD met her during the aftermath of a combat drill. Chythar confessed his hatred of the position of counselor, making it perfectly clear he had no ill-will towards any one individual who held that position. His reasoning: "As soon as I find one I like, they leave." Unfortunately, they got to have one session of time before his transfer to the ''Garuda'' went through. <!--Remove from relationships page--><br>

Alden and CD became friends soon after, though shortly after that nearly fatal incident Cuthbert took an LOA. <!-- Remove from relationships page-->

*'''{{n|Collim Kieran}}:''' By this point, the two have served together since they were stationed at Starbase 118. However, they never formally spoke until one shoreleave after he developed his T2/E2 status and began establishing their friendship. The next time they meet, he owes her a stew surprise since she was promised one and he was transferred before he could deliver. <!-- remove from relationships page --><br>

During shore leave, he was informed the original assistant CMO had been given a leave of absence and was interviewed by both {{n|Nic|Del Vedova}} and Captain {{n|Cassandra|Egan Manno}}. During his [http://sims.starbase118.net/posts/1806270?sid=53eecbf8dbed9&p=62|a conversation with the captain], he was given the position of Assistant Chief Medical Officer. What seemed to him perhaps minutes later, he was called into sickbay to patch up some injuries on Lieutenant Commander {{n|Nia|Calderan}}, who had gotten into a fight with one of the ensigns during their shore leave, received a Klingon love bite to the cheek, bruised a few ribs, and torn a ligament in her knee. After treating her injuries, he headed off to enjoy his leave and scheduled an appointment with Counselor {{n|Raissa|Moonsong}}. He wanted to try getting a handle on his telpathic and empathic abilities without needing to rely too much on the inhibitors he'd been taking.  

Shore leave seemed over too quickly when they were sent after the rogue ship {{USS|Mercury}}. He was called upon by his superior, Acting CMO Lieutenant Commander {{n|Nic|del Vedova}} to head the medical team that went over to the ship. The ''Mercury'' was exploding around them, and all that Skyfire could do was his job. Commander Calderan stood a bit too close to an exploding console, and he had to treat her injuries once again. This time, ribs were bruised, third degree burns were present, and the same knee injured once more. He replicated her a fresh uniform and told her to try staying off the leg before he was called away into a turbolift to save another life -- that of Lieutenant Commander {{n|Alleran|Tan}}. This time, instead of something simple like an injured leg, it was symbiotic rejection. Not too long after the extraction of the Tan symbiont, he was promoted to full Lieutenant and Acting CMO aboard the ''Garuda''. Shortly after his promotion, he met Safine Rael, who then became Safine Tan, as she was the only available candidate for joining with the Tan symbiont. <br><br>He didn't have much of a chance to enjoy what little shore leave he had, because he got one counseling session in with Lieutenant JG {{n|Raissa|Moonsong}} before he was called to [[Deep Space 10]] for a medical emergency involving Lieutenant {{n|Trel'lis}}. As a quarantine alert broke out around the station, he noticed a pattern he'd seen before in relation to his research with the [[Skyfire_Cure|Skyfire Cure]] on Argurtha. With time being of the essence, he made a call to Lt. Commander {{n|Nia|Calderan}} and [http://sims.starbase118.net/posts/1808943?sid=5458cd4606bc0&p=149 explained his plan] of injecting himself in order to produce the necessary antibodies in order to save the Cardassians. His life hung in the balance of writhing pain and agony, doing a risky thing based on historical research that was done in order to prevent a plague from wiping out the {{ma|Klingon Empire}}. His [[Skyfire,_Chythar/EyeOfTheStorm|mind wandered]] as he fought for his survival. During his near-death experience, he [http://sims.starbase118.net/posts/1811660?sid=5458cd4606bc0&p=1 came to the realization] that it was a message: get better social skills. <br /><br />Once they returned to the sickbay of the {{USS|Garuda}}, he had just gotten back in himself to meet with a new face on his staff, Ensign {{n|Roslyn|Mo'Phatz}}. He didn't have time to schedule his wrist surgery when they got another patient, Counselor {{n|Raissa|Moonsong}}; a registered E3 whose abilities seem to have evolved due to traumatic stress that Chythar may have helped trigger. Once she left sickbay, CD allowed his wrist to be seen to by Dr. Mo'Phatz and the Bajoran neurologist Ven Demar. Shortly after his corrective surgery, he had a conversation with {{n|Gabrielle|Porchevska}} about risking his life which resulted in a bruise across the jaw and another kiss. The following day, he had another counseling session with Counselor Moonsong and gained a new "big sister" to his adopted family. He also learned basic shielding techniques, and for the first time since his accident with {{n|Azin}} had stable shields around his mind. It was with a heavy heart that he and Dr. Mo'Phatz pulled {{n|Trel'lis}} off duty due to some medical complications, and shortly after that he was decorated with a second Medical Science Ribbon, the Silver Star, and confirmed as the Chief Medical Officer for the ''Garuda''.  

[[Image:SkyfireIDcard_Garuda.png|250px|left]]

Not long after the start of their shore leave does he get presented with his new best friend, a puppy named {{n|Devlin}} by one of his staff: Petty Officer {{n|Greywin|Fergus}} and the chief science officer {{n|Alora|DeVeau}}. They chatted for about twenty five minutes, then Alora encouraged Chythar to bring the pup by as she offered him plants. He got plants from her and was invited to some possible game nights. During this shore leave and another conversation with Counselor Moonsong and, with her help, gained basic control of his mental shields.

<br><br>Later on, their leave was interrupted as they went to go survey a cloud of proto-matter which the overall plant life on the ship had been largely altered by some telepathic entity inside the cloud. The doc was tasked to develop a weaponized herbicide, though it never actually got used. He instead spent most of the time treating the wounded who were brought in. Hard though it may be to believe, he never left sickbay during the crisis until he was called to do a follow-up check on Lt. DeVeau once the crisis had passed. During the award ceremony that followed, he was then was rewarded with the Innovation and Explorer ribbons. After the awards ceremony, he had his first and only date with Chief {{n|Chase|Valaine}}.

When they left on their [[Prometheus_Incident/Garuda|next mission]], Chythar was asked to be part off an away team that would be attempting to sound out popular opinion of the Paplaxian's <!-- I'll fix the spelling when I find the species again. --> desire to travel back to their own time while being the first to conduct any form of bioscans on them. Naturally, the scientist within CD was intrigued by the opportunity resented itself, though unfortunately they beamed down into a fracture of time that seemed to place them ten thousand years in the past. Same place, more or less. He and his team, which consisted of Lt. Commander {{n|Msafiri|Bakari}}, Ensign {{n|Ryan|King}}, and {{n|Andrew|Davenport}} were taken prisoner and permitted to stay as guests. Due to some ingenuous contraption Davenport carried on his person, they rigged a universal translator out of a tricorder while Chythar attempted to communicate using Klingon. <br><br>

A week passed before they were granted an audience with the queen, and during their conference with her a strange thing occurs which causes fire to fall from the sky, thus the unfortunate naming coincidence "Skyfire". They are brought into a room with "relics" after much discussion, and Chythar recognizes the bodies of three of his colleagues from a few thousand years ago.<br><br>The remains are examined, Chythar comes to the horrible and shocking revelation that the corpses were those of {{n|Ki|Shandres}}, {{n|Tristam|Core}} and {{n|Saveron}}. All three of which CD recognized without needing to open his tricorder. He did open said tricorder and confirm the identities of the victims, then was led to the infirmary after a discussion with the queen regarding his injured comrades. Lt. Commanders {{n|Msafiri|Bakari|}} and {{n|Valen Carys}} were both unconscious and Bakari injured. CD did his best to treat the wounds before tending to Yeoman Lynch, whom he didn't recognize as being one of his crew. A flash of light later, and he was beamed back to the bridge along with his colleagues. Within hours, he returned to sickbay to treat the critically wounded. Shortly after his return, he begins treating Lt. Commander Core and has to fight the impulse to say "You're looking pretty good for a 10,030 year old dead guy." Shore leave gives him a few opportunities to make friends, have his report turned inside out by the Department of Temporal Investigations, and a chance to get a few tests run on his interesting genetic quirks. The suggestion first made by Captain {{n|Cassandra|Egan Manno}} is that his abilities have somewhat evolved due to the slips through time. During the end of their leave, he is decorated with another four ribbons.

His most recent mission was an interesting one that began with covert investigation into the [[Va Wreth]] species aboard [[Astrofori One]]. He was assigned to a team with Lt. Commander {{n|Evan|Delano}} and Lieutenant {{n|Raissa|Moonsong}}, in which they had to disguise themselves as Romulans in order to meet with the [[Tholian|Tholians]] to get information. Day one also consisted of some sort of reaction to her loss of the Community representatives, thus making her lash out in anger to find the others of Captain {{n|Aron|Kells}}'s team: Kells, {{n|Saveron}}, and Ens. {{n|Ryan|King}}. Day two consisted of CD being temporarily given command of the {{USS|Garuda}} to go and investigate a colony that was along the path of the [[Va Wreth]], and his team consisted of Counselor {{n|Raissa|Moonsong}} and Professor {{n|Ian|Dunross}}. He was also on his neural inhibitor, because his abilities had once again been triggered by something strange that he couldn't explain since Raissa's encounter with the [[Community]]. Despite his reluctance to go back on it, he felt it was necessary to prevent becoming incapacitated. He manages to diplomatically ask the Va Wreth and Taredge delegates for updates on their status, discover the one-off freak of nature ice storm that has crippled the colony, and return to the station just in time to find out about a transfer to the {{USS|Invicta}}.

<br />'''Notable Relationships:'''

*'''{{n|Greywin|Fergus}}:''' This man originally transferred because he wanted to pursue a MD under the tutelage of Dr. Skyfire. He was also responsible for bringing Chythar and Devlin together.  

After spending nearly a year on the {{USS|Garuda}}, he was ordered, along with the rest of the crew, to transfer over to the {{USS|Invicta}}, a ship dedicated to science and diplomacy in the Menthar Corridor. He wasn’t overly fond of the idea, as he hates transfers. Shortly after they had transferred, their security chief {{n|Evan|Delano}} had performed a mind-meld with {{n|Harrison|Ross}}. Both men wound up in sickbay and in comas, with Evan developing {{ma|Pan’ar Syndrome}} as a result. CD also had a nice [[SIM:Skyfire Genetic Variation|chat]] with {{n|Saveron}} and {{n|Raissa|Moonsong}} regarding his own abilities, gaining temporary shielding and adapting them to his needs in addition to finding out what changes in his genetics had been triggered by Ris’ telepathic contact to the away team during his last mission. It wasn’t long after that in which he found himself in the ready room of Captain {{n|Aron|Kells}} and received a promotion to Lieutenant Commander. During that conversation, he also explained how he became telepathic in an effort to get better acquainted with the man, who expressed an interest in learning about the crew he didn’t know or couldn’t remember. Re-evaluation of his telepathic and empathic abilities reveals a new rating of T4/E6, courtesy of a test administered by {{n|Saveron}}. Somehow in between the test administration and the launch, Chythar paid a visit to Lieutenant {{n|Alora|DeVeau}} and somehow found himself back in First Kingdom Peppelaxia to chat with the queen who seemed ready to give birth. Once he returned to the present time, Alora offered to run a few tests and took a sample of his blood. Just before they embark on the maiden voyage of the {{USS|Invicta}}, the crew watched as Fleet Captain {{n|Cassandra|Egan Manno}} presented the awards from the last mission. <br><br>His time on the ''Invicta'' was short-lived, as a Q-being arrives on the bridge just as he gets another transfer order, this time to the {{USS|Columbia}}.<br>

*'''Stardates:''' 239207.19 - Present

After a brief stop at Starbase 118, Skyfire had a brief reunion with his adopted brother, Lt. Commander {{n|Sal|Taybrim}}. After an evening of pizza and windsurfing, he headed over to the {{USS|Columbia}} with {{n|Devlin}} to get settled in. Once aboard, he met Captain {{n|Nugra}} and Counselor {{n|Talia|Kaji}} on the way to check in. Once at the XO's office was reunited with his old friends Lt. Commander {{n|Brek}} and his mentor Lieutenant {{n|Johanna|MacLaren}}. Brek had mentioned two colleagues who were both residing in sickbay: Captain {{n|Benjamin|Livingston}} and Lt. Commander {{n|Vitor|Silveira}}, both of whom CD had previously served with aboard Ops and the ''Excalibur''. While attending his first party aboard the ''Columbia'', Brek received command of the ship and was promoted to the rank of Commander. CD recognized only one more face from the ''Excalibur'''s former crew, that of his friend and mentor {{n|Johanna|MacLaren}}. During the same party, he ran into some of his students from the academy: {{n|Antero|Flynn}} and {{n|Mirra|Ezo}}. During this shore leave, he also met with Counselor {{n|Talia|Kaji}} for the first time, and tried not to begin another streak of breaking counselors. <br><br>His first mission aboard the ''Columbia'' met with some interesting challenges, most specifically the first serious use of his telepathy. Despite the practice he'd received on the ''Garuda'' and ''Invicta'', it was not enough to prepare him for this.
