Keneth Nakada: Difference between revisions

*Siblings: Riley Nakada (sister, two years younger)

Keneth was born on Stardate 237402.18 at the Chicago Medical Center.

His family did not trust this to work – Starfleet had so low an acceptance rate it may as well be zero. He should just enlist they said, or better yet, study on planet – maybe join his father? Keneth almost started believing it. Then he was accepted. He had only one disappointment – he had wanted science, but he got engineering. He decided against switching majors later and instead minored in science.

The one notable feature of his academy time is his insistence on performing research. This lead to him forming a close relationship with Doctor Quinell Winslett, a propulsion researcher and one of his professors. He co-published a paper in his second year with the professor regarding transwarp fields, which began his love for propulsion. He later published papers on computation and a single study on navigational algorithms during a summer internship at the Daystrom Institute. His final year he published his thesis and a seemingly widely acclaimed paper on the effectiveness of key lime pie as ship based weaponry using transporter fields.  

He graduated on stardate 239705.25 and was posted to the USS Juneau upon the completion of his training cruise on 239706.01.

Keneth's first mission went off to an interesting start. He was initially assigned to the USS ''Juneau'', to which he reported right out of the academy. After some introductions, he began work in engineering, helping with efforts to secure the bio-neural gelpacks onboard from damage due to Eichner radiation they were going to encounter.
