| ====Relationship with Blackwood==== | | {{LCARS Toggle |
| [[File:Harrison Blackwood.png|thumb|Harrison Blackwood, a rival of Lhandon Nilsen]]Nilsen did not have a good relationship with Cadet Blackwood. Nilsen somewhat enjoyed bullying the cadet, and his favorite activity was annoying Cadet Blackwood. On the day of Nilsen's crash, Nilsen changes the language settings on Blackwood’s PADD to Klingon, provoking a minor confrontation. Blackwood, ever the rule follower, responds with irritation but does not escalate the situation further. While this had no effect on what happened, it does go to show the relationship the two had. Nilsen, a tall and robust cadet with a rugby player’s build, contrasts sharply with Blackwood, who is of average height and athletic. Their rivalry is a clash of personalities: Nilsen’s mischievous and impulsive nature against Blackwood’s strict adherence to rules. Blackwood’s callsign, “Prince,” given by Nilsen, underscores this conflict.<blockquote>She walked up to where the two other ensigns were already practicing moves and exchanging light blows. Being the security/tactical officer of the group, Kaito was the logical choice to emerge as victor in a physical altercation between the two young men. He was also taller than Harrison. However, while at the academy, Esma had heard "gossip" among some of the other cadets about an incident involving Harrison and a fellow cadet named Lhandon Nilsen.<ref>Ensign Esma: Fists of Fury - https://groups.google.com/u/1/g/sb118-amity/c/gC29OMdMfB0?pli=1</ref> - [https://groups.google.com/u/1/g/sb118-amity/c/gC29OMdMfB0?pli=1 Ensign Esma: Fists of Fury]</blockquote>

| ====Crash on Stardate 239803.12====
| | |Side = Left |
| on Stardate 239803.12; Commander Norton assigns Blackwood as the squad leader for an upcoming training mission, Nilsen’s resentment grows. Blackwood’s by-the-book approach and Nilsen’s disdain for authority culminate in a heated exchange, where Nilsen taunts Blackwood. This leads to Blackwood delivering a swift sucker punch to Nilsen’s side, which momentarily incapacitates him.

| During the training mission in the Kuiper Belt, Nilsen’s shuttle suffers a critical malfunction, causing it to veer off course and collide with Sh’mais’s shuttle. Both shuttles are in peril, falling into a gravity well towards a nearby asteroid. Blackwood, taking immediate action, tries to guide Nilsen through a series of maneuvers to regain control, but the damage is extensive. Nilsen’s shuttle, engulfed in flames and smoke, heads for a crash landing. Ignoring direct orders from Flight Control to punch out and wait for emergency transport, Nilsen decides to attempt a risky maneuver to prevent both shuttles from crashing. He manages to slow their descent by using his shuttle to guide Sh’mais’s damaged vessel, but they ultimately crash onto the asteroid.

| Blackwood, also defying orders, lands his fighter near the crash site to attempt a rescue. With Suzanne Williams, they manage to force open the shuttle door and find Nilsen trapped under debris, with a cracked helmet and serious injuries. Despite the danger of radiation from the deflector pulse, Blackwood improvises to enhance the shuttle’s signal for an emergency transport.

| | |Content = Nilsen often found himself in confrontations with others, notably enjoying getting into fights. If pressed, and only with those he trusted, he would say that the fights helped him to "get rid of his anger" and made him feel "normal for just a while." One notable example was soon after the Echo Squad crash when Nilsen found his way to a bar called the Allegation in the Bay View district of San Francisco. It was here that he got into a fight where he was outnumbered 2 to 1. He suffered a broken nose and a bruised rib. He was treated by [[Nera Ay|Cadet Nera Ay]], who was studying medicine. The two eventually became friends after this incident, and Nilsen was grateful for the help Nera gave when he was struggling in his classes. However, Nilsen graduated in 2400, he lost contact with Nera. |
