Nolen is at his best when he is solving a technical problem, devising gadgets, breaking equipment down, and building it back up. He is far from his best when he is engaged in conversation with other sentient beings, be they telepathic or not. When not fully engaged in a task, Hobart can be distant and distracted, his mind apt to wander to the things he's good at. Accordingly he is more likely to lock himself in a maintenance closet than take advantage of shore leave. To the extent that he makes active use of his empathic abilities, Nolen applies them as a survival instinct: a sort of "early warning" system for social interactions he'd rather avoid. | Nolen is at his best when he is solving a technical problem, devising gadgets, breaking equipment down, and building it back up.

As a teenager, Nolen began to resent his empathic abilities. Describing a "haze" of emotion that only he (and his mother) experienced, he struggled with a sense of isolation brought on by being surrounded by others. Pain, anguish, joy, hate, love, loss, and lust were equally oppressive to his mind. The emotional trauma suffered by his mother (and broadcast to his mind alone) was especially offensive to young Nolen. Through the help of the station's counselors, Nolen managed to get through depression and rage, but never quite escaped his resentment, or fully accepted his powers. | As a teenager, Nolen began to resent his empathic abilities.

It was at this time that he began to focus on machines. Tinkering became a pastime and consumed his every waking hour outside of his schooling. This eventually got him into some amount of trouble, and earned him a juvenile criminal record. Despite this, it also provided a path forward, as Omar encouraged Nolen to focus on this budding talent as a path to a career in [[Starfleet]]. With the help of his father and Commander Hael, that is what he did.{{Heading| | It was at this time that he began to focus on machines.

With the help of his father and Commander Hael, that is what he did.{{Heading|Service History|Gold}}Nolen entered [[Starfleet Academy]] in 2396 and quickly distinguished himself academically. His technical skills carried over well from his childhood hobbies, and in his early semesters he sampled a variety of subjects through his electives. In his second year, he elected to enroll in [[Starfleet Academy Survival Training/Tactics|Tactics: Combat, Marksmanship]] and [[Starfleet Academy Survival Training/Tactics|Tactics: Small Units]] and earned high praise from his instructors for a quick and firm grasp of all matters related to theory. On Stardate 239712.20, Cadet Hobart was approached about a transfer to [[Starfleet Command School|Command School]], in light of his performance in these classes, and a written offer was made. The change would likely add at least a year to Cadet Hobart's schooling, but of more concern was whether Cadet Hobart could effectively lead. He was not at all disliked by his peers, but he was not especially liked or admired. After discussion with his father, Nolen declined the invitation two days later, and thereon focused his Academy studies entirely on [[Academy Majors and Minors/Engineering|Engineering]] and [[Academy Majors and Minors/HCO|Operations]]. | ||

On Stardate 240001.24, he graduated and was immediately assigned to serve aboard the [[USS Arrow|USS ''Arrow'']] as its [[Engineering (Duty Post)|Engineering Officer]]. | ||

On Stardate 240001.24, Ensign Hobart was assigned to serve as Engineering Officer aboard the [[USS Arrow|USS ''Arrow'']], and arrived by shuttle. He served honorably in the ''Arrow''<nowiki/>'s raid against a Sheliak mining facility referred to as the "Hexagon," and on Stardate 240003.18 he was awarded the Good Conduct Ribbon for his actions. | |||
On Stardate 240004.05, as [[Connor Dewitt|Lieutenant Dewitt]] departed to serve as attaché aboard the USS ''Libris'', Ensign Hobart assumed the temporary role of Chief Engineer in his absence. In the wake of an ionizing phenomenon from a nearby nebula in the region known as "the Swamp," Ensign Hobart coordinated damage control measures before departing on a rescue mission to the crippled ''Libris'' alongside [[Jacin Ayemet|Lieutenant Jacin Ayemet]] and [[Ceilidh Slipka|Ensign Ceilidh Slipka]]. Aboard the ''Libris'', Jacin and Hobart retrieved a surviving cadet before regrouping with a number of ''Arrow'' officers in Main Engineering, and returning to the ''Arrow''. | |||
On Stardate 240005.18, in the midst of the [[USS Arrow|USS ''Arrow'']]'s shoreleave on [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Freecloud Freecloud], Ensign Hobart remained aboard to conduct the planned and approved overhaul of the ship's EPS grid.<center>{{Service Record}} | |||
