 *Enrolling in Starfleet Academy in 2259 and graduating in 2263, Whale was posted aboard the [[USS Ackerman]]. By 2266 Whale had attained the rank of Lieutenant and served the Ackerman's chief of security.  During his second year at the Academy, Whale met a fellow cadet a year ahead named [[Gianna Dacosta]].  The two became quite close over the years, eventually becoming romantically involved.  Dacosta and Whale were still linked romantically at the time of the [[Ackerman Event]].
- '''''Excerpt from first sim:'''''
-    Back in his younger days -- his first stint at Starfleet Academy -- Whale had been a bit of a womanizer. He was
- fond of telling friends that he didn't have a steady girlfriend, but he had three or four unsteady ones. Not
- always accurate, but always funny to his buddies.  Gianna Dacosta had been two years older than Whale and a year
- ahead at the Academy the first time he'd hit on her. He had been thoroughly unsuccessful and it was only that she
- rejected him with a good-natured smile that prevented it from being a complete crash and burn. She'd simply told
- him that she was too good to be just another notch on someone's bed post.
-    So he'd spent the next three and a half years trying to convince her that he was worthy of her company.
-    When the Ackerman popped out in the 24th Century, Gianna was the first person Whale thought about. But he still
- hadn't been able to bring himself to look up her personnel record. She'd be dead now, he darkly reminded himself.
- That he could accept -- everyone he had known in his old life was dead, so he was okay with Gianna being dead,
- too. Well, maybe not "okay," but certainly resigned to it.  What he wasn't sure he was prepared for was to look
- into her file and find that Gianna had married. That some other guy had been able to spend his life with her.
- Maybe had kids. According to the universe, Whale may have been lost with the USS Ackerman for one hundred and ten
- years, but to him... to him he'd had dinner with Gianna a week before the Ackerman's disappearance. He'd had
- dinner with her, then a week later he stepped into the Ackerman's transporter to beam over to a freighter in
- distress... then woken up in a sickbay where they told him it was over a hundred years later.
 *In 2269, while responding to a distress call from a civilian freighter, the [[USS Ackerman]] was lost with all hands after an encounter with a spatial anomaly.  This event is frequently referred to as the [[Ackerman Event]].
