 ===Family History===
-Robert Falcon, Rho's grandfather, joined Starfleet during the Dominion War.  At the time, he believed he was human.  After a short time serving on the [[USS Freedom-A]], the crew temporarily evacuated to a barren planet.  The Jem'Hadar soon attacked, and in assisting in the crew's defense Robert took a hit.  The damage made clear to him and those nearby that he did not have flesh and blood beneath his skin.  After prooving he was not a threat, he was allowed to continue his Starfleet career.  Near the end of the war, Robert created his 'children', a pair of AIs named Beta and Delta.
+*Grandfather
-About a year after the end of the Dominion War, then Commander Robert Falcon was transferred to Starfleet R&D, taking his children with him,  Now having the resources he needed, he built humanoid bodies for his children, first Delta then Beta.  They took on human names, Delta becoming Alice and Beta becoming James.  While Alice later chose to follow her father's path and join Starfleet, James preferred the life of a freighter captain.
+Robert has very little information about his true origins.  He spent many years with the belief that he human.  His on board equipment, namely a device called a sensor stealth unit, completed the illusion.  His adopted parents, who had discovered him and completed his programming, were aware of his true nature and had informed Starfleet at the time he applied to the Academy.  The decision was made to allow Robert to remain unaware and simply observe him for signs of a hidden agenda.
-Alice, feeling a similar call as her father, created Rho.  Initially, like her mother, was given the form of a small, flight capable, disk-shaped robot.  For the first years of her life she remained at R&D, but later felt the need to expand herself and her capabilities.  She joined a friend of the family, who was the CO of another Starfleet ship.  She learned a fair amount about interacting with organics, though isn't an expert yet.  In the end, she really felt like a member of the crew.  Her final act was to assist the crew in retaking the ship after a sneak attack managed to wrest control from them.  The last act by the invaders was to infest the computer with a virus.  Rho downloaded her program into the computer to repair the damage and beat the virus.  She succeeded, but her disk was destroyed in the process.
+He was an active Ensign in the fleet when the Dominion War began.  During the war his ship, the [[U.S.S. Freedom-A]], was boarded by the Jem'Hadar and the crew put off on a barren world.  While waiting for rescue from the [[U.S.S. Indria]], the crew came under attack.  Robert took a hit while defending a friend.  The damage exposed several of his android systems and knocked out his sensor stealth system.  Today, the only knowledge he has about his true self is that he was constructed some time in the 31st century, then sent back in time to the 24th.  He does not know what his purpose is, but will keep his eyes open.
-With Robert's help, Alice constructed a humanoid body for Rho which the pair took to her as soon as was possible.  Unlike her mother and uncle, Rho decided to keep her original Greek letter name.  She feels it's somewhat unique, and gives her a tie to a part of her past she does not want to forget.  Even then, holding the past still allows her to march into the future with her head held high.
+Before and after his discovery, however, he was already creating the next generation of his family.  He designed a pair of AIs, a super computer dubbed Beta and a flying disk robot named Delta.  After the war, he was transferred to Starfleet R&D.  At that time, he was able to construct humanoid bodies for the two of them.  Delta underwent this transformation first, renaming herself Alice.  Beta renamed himself James.
+Today, now Commander Robert Falcon runs a team at Starfleet R&D.  He keeps tabs every and any report he can get his hands on, curious if one will give him some idea of his reason for being.  "If nothing else, " he says, "I'll wait until my creators come around and ask them."
+*Uncle
+James started out life as a super computer based AI system.  He was Robert's first creation, and as such there were a couple... issues.  Even today he has a small glitch in his programming which gives him a short temper and the inability to carry a tune in a bucket.  Of all the members of the family James is the most combat capable.  He has enhanced versions of Robert's tactical systems paired with a heavier frame.  However, he is the only member of the Falcon family to choose against joining Starfleet.
+Preferring to be his own boss, James chose the list of a freighter captain.  He acquired a Raven-class ship and modified it into a mid-size transport.  His ship, the Nova, has been optimized for operation by one person.  She has a pair of large cargo bays in the aft portion of the ship, and has five energy weapons on board.  Her weapons appear to be old model phase cannons, but have had their inner workings replaced.  James calls them WISC Phase Cannons, for "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing".  They have the strength of, at a minimum, type five phasers.
+When conducting buisness he will go only by his first name.  Few know his last name, and those are only James's closest friends.  Anyone who knew the name could connect James to his father.  While James has no issues with what he is, he prefers not allowing others to know he is an android.  James feels that any information others have about him gives him less of an edge.  However, he is fierecely loyal to his family, and will stop at nothing to save them if they were in trouble.  Not being in Starfleet, he feels he has much more lattitude in his operation.  It is not known how far he would go to save his family.
+*Mother
+Alice had a more active 'childhood' then James.  Her early life was spent on Robert's ship.  However, due to Beta's misadventures and Robert's early near addiction to technology, she and Beta were removed from the ship and placed in storage on Starbase 118 under threat that if either were ever reactivated both would be dismanteled and destroyed.  For more then a year, there was nothing Robert could do.  However, as he gained friends and connections around the fleet, his options increased.  Beta had to remain on the base, but he was able to smuggle Delta onto a ship commanded by a friend of his.  While there, Delta could be active and serve as an assistant to captain and crew.
+When Robert was transferred to R&D, he was able to bring both Delta and Beta with him.  By then, he had designed and built a shuttle for a new design competition.  While the shuttle lost, he was told to retain the prototype.  Friends back at HQ meant the shuttle became, essentially, a personal ship.  Modifications allowed him to smuggle both of his creations to Earth, where he could build new bodies for them and attempt repairs fo Beta's programming.  Alice, as she renamed herself, worked with Robert at R&D for a short time before deciding to join Starfleet herself.  While at the Academy, she developed the same urge to create that led Robert to build herself and her brother.  She created Rho, and did what she could to ensure Rho's early years went better then her own.  Alice spent a brief time in the fleet before tranferring back to Starfleet R&D.
+These days, Alice works on her father's R&D team.  She's well aware of his searches and she helps where she can.  She also keeps tabs with her brother and daughter, making sure the scattered members of the family are all well aware of what's happening.
