Following submission of his research thesis he joined the Elysium institute on Mars and it was while working here as a senior research associate that he met his future wife, Rosanna Savinkova, who was a junior agent with [[Federation Security]]. The couple were married and, in 2376, Ros gave birth to a daughter – Danica. Alex, meanwhile, had been working with a medical relief unit providing support to Cardassian refugees following the end of the Dominion War and felt he wanted to try and make a change to help people in need. Research work was grant dependent and, when his expired, he moved into training as a clinical psychologist. He studied at Cerberus Plains Teaching hospital where he continued to work following completion of his training. | Following submission of his research thesis he joined the Elysium institute on Mars and it was while working here as a senior research associate that he met his future wife, Rosanna Savinkova, who was a junior agent with [[Federation Security]].

In 2387, Alex and Ros decided to return to [[Earth]] with Dani and they relocated to Whangarei, New Zealand, where Alex accepted a role of Forensic Clinical Psychologist which saw him working more closely with more troubled individuals as well as a closer working relationship with FEDSec. In this role he was part of their rehabilitation/assessment program providing not only psychiatric care but also fitness assessments, conducting interviews, constructing profiling and providing on-site assistance to field operations in terms of negotiation strategies and victimology. He continued to provide this upon his transfer to Anchorage when Rosanna took a promotion to join the FEDSec. Marshals service. | [[Image:Brodie_Cerberus.jpg|100px|left|thumb|Brodie: 2382 - Cerberus Plains Teaching Hospital]] In 2387, Alex and Ros decided to return to [[Earth]] with Dani and they relocated to Whangarei, New Zealand, where Alex accepted a role of Forensic Clinical Psychologist which saw him working more closely with more troubled individuals as well as a closer working relationship with FEDSec.

This coincided with the ‘Black Mirror Killings’ of 2390 and Alex was involved in the capture of [[Inchyra Rixx]] in the winter of that year. This high-stress workload, for both Alex and Ros, led to the ultimate break-up of their marriage and, following their separation, he decided he wanted to go back to helping people in a wider setting – he moved to San Francisco to join Starfleet. | This coincided with the ‘Black Mirror Killings’ of 2390 and Alex was involved in the capture of [[Inchyra Rixx]] in the winter of that year.

Following an aborted diplomatic assignment to bring a party from the Romulan Republic to visit with the Prime Minister of Til’ahn it was deemed a prudent move to use the planned ‘sight-seeing’ tour of the planet to give orientation to fresh transfers to the Embassy. Alex was acting in a diplomatic capacity following the temporary leave of absence taken by Ambassador Brell. During the initial stages of the tour the flight group came under fire from and unknown aggressor and one of the shuttles was forced to crash land in the Talisen Forrest. Doctor Addison Mackenzie was taken prisoner while remaining personnel evacuated casualties back to the Embassy compound to regroup. | |||
During the briefing it was advised that a Romulan Warbird had also been recorded on the edge of sensor range deep within Romulan space. During the assault it was recorded to have moved at maximum speed towards a previously uncharted system within the Typhon Expanse. Long-range sensor readings of this system revealed that the system contained a deposit of proto-matter. Alex was appointed as temporary Executive Officer aboard the Thunder during this time. | |||
The Thunder progressed to the expanse to pursue the IRW Tahndak and, on arrival both vessels came under threat from an unknown force. This was further complicated by an apparent DNA mutation noted I the bio-gel packs found within the ships computer systems. Following a return on the proto-matter, and a cessation of hostilities with the Romulans, the USS Thunder returned to the Embassy under warp power only. | |||

On arrival in the Ysdyen Nebula the Thor was to determine the fate of the Vel Maijan colony. The colony on was established in 2159, and contact was reported as lost in 2164. Further investigation at the time revealed the entire solar system containing the colony had disappeared from known space. Federation monitoring stations had, however, picked up a feint but definitive distress call being sent from the colony requesting aid from the Federation. Senior staff were split on En-route to the nebula the senior staff were split into teams to address separate aspects for mission preparation. | |||
Upon arrival in the vicinity of Vel Maijan two away teams were dispatched to the surface to investigate both the site of the original colony and the network of tunnels noted below the surface. Alex remained aboard the USS Thor, acting as commanding officer. Communication with away team one revealed high levels of radiation on the planet’s surface and this correlated with a subsequently observed weakened magnetosphere. In addition, remains were discovered that indicated whatever event had befallen the planet had occurred rapidly. Communications with team two were unable to be established, likely as a result of the growing atmospheric disturbances, depth and mineral formations withing the tunnel/cavern system. | |||
Team two were further isolated by failures of transport beacons and transponders on the surface. Upon the return of team one it was determined that to recover the colonists and evacuate the away team, it would be necessary to re-establish the transporter link to the surface to the tunnels. Chroniton particles were continuing to build and consideration was given to what may be producing them and how they may be disrupted or terminate to buy more time for the colony. During this operation it became apparent via a security alert that a member of an indigenous species, subsequently to become known as ‘Azcou’, had been transported aboard the ship. It was believed with was via an accidental activation of the transporter relay return sequence. The creature, known as Orh’am, came aboard the USS Thor on deck three and travelled through the ship to the hangar bay on deck seven where he was contained by security forces. | |||
All colonists and members of the ‘am’ Azcou colony were evacuated via transporter to the USS Thor and the vessel cleared the area of effect of the chroniton particles before the system shifted a second time. | |||

Following a period of shoreleave in orbit or Ferenginar, Fleet Captain Aron Kells departed abord the USS Tharsis to further investigate a rare sighting of a Gormagander pod. The USS Thor as the vessel conducted a test flight to perform diagnostics on the quantum slipstream drive (QSD). Upon engagement of the QSD system, however, the Thor was impacted by an unknown object which was able to bypass the vessel’s shields and struck amidships causing significant damage to the hull and internal systems. | |||
As part of the response to this situation Alex was assigned to the role of acting First Officer and tasked with helping to coordinate the response to this incident. Initial reports revealed that the mine was, essentially, a piece of subspace. In addition to this a Laudean member of the crew was able to confirm this using their Fielding ability. | |||
Following this Acting Captain Teller formed a new strategy to attempt to remove the mine from the Thor – this would take the form of a three-phase approach that would involve destabilising the link the device had to subspace, find a way to neutralise the mine and, more vitally to continue to maintain the security of the QSD. Brodie was asked to coordinate the first aspect of these strategies. Preparation of the bulkheads and forcefields to allow a controlled hull-breach were in place and a series of probes emitting a synthetic QSD drive signature were placed into a ship synchronous orbit. These features, combined with the destabilisation frequencies, allowed a controlled release of the device from the vessel as the ship exited quantum space. | |||
While the Thor was now safe and free of the alien mine the damage to the vessel together with the isolated nature of the ship beyond the furthest reaches of the Federation the regretful decision was made to abandon ship. The preparations were made for this eventuality but it was not required due to the timely intervention of a taskforce led by Fleet Captain Kells. This taskforce towed the Thor back to Federation space where it was placed in dock at Deep Space Nine, in the orbit of Bajor, awaiting repairs. The final fate of the mine remains unknown. | |||
