Ensign Michael Jellico enlisted in Starfleet at the age 20. As an enlisted man he primarily served in Engineering, but has experience in other roles for short periods It is also noted that during his enlisted career Michael was demoted from Petty Officer 2nd Class to Petty Officer 3rd Class due to reprimands for fighting and suspected contraband. His career was subsequently salvaged, culminating in him joining the USS Victory. While on the Victory, Michael served in the Engineering department and briefly in Tactical. Due to the fact the he was under qualified to serve as a tactical officer’s assistant he began taking academy courses in Tactical and Security during his spare time. Before his move to tactical Michael lost his left arm during ‘The Hunger’ mission while trying and failing to save a crewman from a poisonous bug-like creature. While on the Victory Michael was promoted two grades to Petty Officer 1st Class. He was assigned to the re-launched Darwin-A, and after the success rescue for the USS Dunbar was promoted to Chief Petty Officer. Despite failing his Officer’s exam while on the Darwin, Michael gained a battlefield commission on Stardate 239207.27 making him an Ensign.

Habits/Mannerisms

• He has a tendency to flex the biosynthetic fingers of his left hand, an early physiotherapy exercise, when he is thinking about something that has his entire attention.

Achievements/Disappointments

• Achievements in Life:
  • Becoming a Chief Petty Officer.
  • Gaining a field commission to the rank of Ensign.
• Disappointments in Life:
  • His entire tour of duty aboard the USS Illustrious and the repercussions that followed.
  • Failing the Ensign Tactical Officer Exam.
  • His relationship with his father.

Temperment

• Has a tendency to be over critical of himself and situations, which he will often shroud in sardonic humor.

Physical Limitations

• He struggles with complex motor function that requires the use of his left hand, this is due to nerve damage around the point of his amputation. Michael’s biosynthetic arm works by receiving impulses from the nerves in the remaining but of his arm but some of these were badly damaged during his amputation. He hides this very successfully in everyday life, but when the limitations manifest it infuriates him easily.

Background

Michael Jellico struggled as a student.

Michael was born on 16th December 2358, on Betazed around five kilometers from the Emrin River. He was born to Betazoid civil engineer Lyanna Jellico and human support worker George Jellico. Unlike Betazoids and even other half human hybrids, Michael has extremely limited empathic abilities and no telepathic abilities even with other Betazoids. He had one younger sister, Lana and has always had loving relationship with his mother and sister, however, his relationship with his father has always been strained. Before becoming a support worker, George Jellico was a combat veteran of the Federation-Cardassian War, serving in ‘civilian militia’ on Setlik III, and was still going through the transition to civil life when Michael was a young child. Suffering from PTSD and depression symptoms, George failed to show love or interest in his son’s childhood. With counseling Michael’s father become more relaxed as he grew older and Lana was born but their relationship has remained distant.

Throughout his childhood education Michael also suffered bulling while at school Throughout his education Michael suffered set backs, first in the form of bullying from other students due to the lack of telepathic abilities. Even when he was not openly bullied, he was still considered an outsider and as a teenager and had few friends, he began getting into fights often and being suspended from school was a regular occurrence. This resulted is his grades being very poor, with him only excelling at individual sports and subjects that required a lot of physical work. He finished his education at nineteen with a foundation degree in Civil Engineering. Michael briefly contemplated continuing his education at a higher level but instead entered Star Fleet’s enlisted engineering program. His Mother was supportive of the decision but was also quietly disappointed that he did not aim higher.

Career Overview

Michael began his career as a complete profession, reliable, willing to learn and extremely hard working. He received recognition in the logs of his first CO for his part in the rescue of two junior officers from a compartment fire in his ships science labs.

Michael climbed the enlisted ‘ratings’ with relative quickness until he reached Acting Petty Officer First Class aboard the USS Illustrious. Michael was given the opportunity to serve as the Captain's Yeomen but was ill suited to the role and received an unsatisfactory in his official review leading him to be stripped of his acting rank and moved position. Michael’s demeanor while on duty and off changed dramatically due to what he saw as unfair treatment. During this time Michael was reprimanded for various infractions including, three physical altercations between himself and off duty Marine personnel and being suspected as supplying the ship’s crew with contraband. On the last occasion, five cases of Romulan Ale found in a one of the ship's shuttles that was listed as down for repair. While it could not be proven by the senior staff that these were Michael’s, it could be proven that Michael had been recently fighting and there was enough circumstantial evidence against him to strip him of his Petty Officer 2nd Class rating and transfer him off of the ship.

After being demoted and wallowing in self pity for almost a year Michael resigned himself to have 'one last go' at resurrecting his star fleet career and gained his first excellent rating in six years in a performance review after his transfer. After two more excellent reviews, Michael was again transferred, this time to the USS Victory.

	USS Victory • Intrepid class

PO3 Jellico off duty.

Michael joined the Victory and was assigned as an NCO in the gamma shift engineering team. During his first mission on the ship, the victory was contacted by a crew from the future and warned about an upcoming invasion from a species known as ‘The Hunger.’ The crew of the Victory was able to prevent this invasion but during the final the ship was boarded by highly poisonous bug like creatures under the control of The Hunger. Michael was in engineering when the ship was boarded and during the fight he was bitten in the forearm, fearing certain death after seeing a crewmen die from a similar bite within a minute; Michael preformed an amputation of his arm with a wielding touch. The amputation almost cost him his life but he was saved by the Victory’s marine compliment and medical staff.

Micheal's Biosynthetic Arm, being repaired with the synthetic skin removed.

Michael was given a biosynthetic arm to replace the lost limb however it took a long time him to master its full motor faction range, and required extensive physiotherapy. Due to his injury which limited his ability to conduct manual repairs Michael was transferred to Tactical as a Gunner’s mate.

During his time as Gunner’s Mate Michael often took the tactical console while the senior officers were on stand down or on away missions. During one such away mission, the Victory was surprised attacked. With entire senior staff on an away mission and much of the Victory exposed to vacuum, Michael was battle field promoted to Petty Officer 1st Class by the Acting CO Lieutenant J.G Shedet so that he could take command of the remaining engineering section and begin repairing the ship. While that role was only temporary his promotion was not revoked when the senior staff returned.

	USS Darwin-A • Horizon class

Michael was reassigned to the USS Darwin-A on Star Date 239202.24 with the ship being relaunched under the Command of Commander Renos in response to the events surrounding the Prometheus Incident. Due to the rapid nature that the crew was assembled, Michael was assigned to the ship as a tactical and security officer despite his PO1 rating and his engineering background due to the fact that he had continued his tactical course studies in his private time. It was made clear to Micheal that continue in the role that should belong to an officer that he would be expected to continue his studies until such time that he was qualified to take the Ensign's Exam.

Personal Relationships

Partner Brooks Gwinnett

Gwinnett Marine Sergeant - USS Victory While on the USS Victory Michael entered into a romantic relationship with Staff Sergeant Brooks Gwinnett. He first saw her during a promotion ceremony and was instantly attracted to her, but it wasn’t until Michael walked in her working out on the Holodeck that the two actually exchanged words. After some flirting between the two Michael was informed that he could make up for the mistake by buying her a drink, the two have since gone on numerous dates and became very close. Brooks in currently in a coma after being in a near fatal accident on Luxis III, Michael has slowly come to terms with the fact that she is unlikely to ever wake up.

Department Head Talisa zh'Eriss

zh'Eriss Marine Commander/Tactical Officer - USS Victory Michael meet Second Lieutenant Talisa zh’Eriss on the USS Victory directly after losing his arm during the Hunger Mission. Talisa was visiting her injured marines in sickbay when she saw Michael and attempted to comfort him, unfortunately Michael took all of her attempts to reassure him as insult and the two had a shooting match in sickbay. The two eventually reconciled when they were both promoted and forced to work together in the tactical department, however they were never fully friends and their relationship could best be described as an uneasy alliance. Months after joining the USS Darwin-A Michel meet the Andorian again on Deep Space Six, this time Talisa was in civilian uniform and she informed Michael that she was taking a Leave of absence for Star Fleet. The two share an evening of drinking together before she left for Andor.

	PAST HOSPITALIZATIONS/SERIOUS ILLNESS Nothing Significant before Enlisting in Star Fleet PAST SURGICAL HISTORY SD 239109.26 : Left Arm amputation Surgeon: N/A Self Amputation due to corrosive venom bite OR Site: USS Victory Op Note: Monsters & Fire Below is the attached report of Doctor Rangi Summers - Lieutenant Junior Grade Beta Shift Medical Officer, USS Victory. Michael Jellico was operated on by Doctor Talia Kaji and Head Nurse Sarah Red Elk approximately two hours after the amputation, the time delay was due to the fact that the battle in Engineering continued after Michael's injury and the ship's Marines and security team were not able to retrieve the wounded until all of the creatures were killed. Michael was able to survive that time due to Cauterizing effect of the instrument used, a wielding touch. The field amputation was done by Mr. Jellico on himself after seeing a ship mate dissolve from a corrosive venom, we are still studying this venom and its effect at the time of this report. Aside from a fever and some hallucinations due an aggressive bacterial infection the patient is in good health and is expected to make a full recovery, minus the missing limb. Unfortunately the amputation caused a great deal of damage the surviving remnants of the arm, most troubling is the damage inflicted to the nerves of the arm - side note, amputation was roughly twelve centimeters below the left elbow. - It's possible that Petty Officer Jellico will have to accept a cruder prosthetic due to the damage that the surviving nerves suffered, they may be too badly damaged to interact with a biosynthetic replacement.

	PHYSICIANS' NOTES SD238108.04 - Medical Officer: Doctor Shane Guzman - USS Illustrious Medical Assessment: Mr Jellico admitted himself to sickbay at approximately 03:40 this morning, complaining that he had fallen down a flight of stairs. To my knowledge there is not a single flight of stairs on the USS Illustrious. When I brought this to Mr Jellico's attention, he stated that he had in fact fallen from a ladder. Mr Jellico had a broken nose, a bruised jaw and two fractured ribs. I also noted that the cuts on his knuckles are consistent with punching. In addition, the stench of cheap alcohol on his breath was clearly noticeable. It is this doctors opinion that Mr Jellico's injuries were as a result of fighting. Mr. Jellico was discharged from Sickbay at 06:15, I will be forwarding this report on to the Executive Officer along with a report from station security which stated that there was a bar brawl at approximately 02:35 between a squad of Marines and a group of drunken enlisted men. SD 239207.20 - Medical Officer: Nurse Penllyn Medical Assessment Multiple Concussion, resulting from his head striking the bulkhead near his station during a torpedo exchange with an enemy Warship. Chief Jellico is being kept for observation, but we are confident he will be discharged soon. Personal Note - Mr Chief Jellico called me a lady, for the official record, Penllyn is NOT a lady!
