* '''Kevin Breeman''': Ben has begun to see [[Breeman, Kevin|Kevin Breeman]] as something of a mentor. Ben's passion has always been engineering, and while a science officer, Kevin's experience in starship engineering provides a natural well of knowledge for Ben to tap. There are subtle similarities to their personalities that interest Ben, who hopes that the two of them will be able to continue to work closely. Kevin helped to facilitate Ben's transfer to Engineering. | * '''Kevin Breeman''': Ben has begun to see [[Breeman, Kevin|Kevin Breeman]] as something of a mentor.

* '''Katy Orman''': Ben's first impression of [[Orman, Katy|Katy]], before learning of her Orion heritage was that she was ill -- promptly confirmed by Katy vomiting (although the two observations were unrelated). Katy and Ben shared an aversion to the way the shadows that infiltrated the Starbase were dealt with, and Katy welcomed Ben as a new officer and helped Ben become accustomed to the less formal relationships between officers than Ben had learned to expect at Stafleet Academy. | * '''Katy Orman''': Ben's first impression of [[Orman, Katy|Katy]], before learning of her Orion heritage was that she was ill -- promptly confirmed by Katy vomiting (although the two observations were unrelated).

* '''Brooke Harphus''': [[Harphus, Brooke|Harphus]] was a colleague and friend of Ben's during his time as Assistant Chief Engineer in Ops and aboard {{USS|Excalibur|A}}. As a Petty Officer in the Engineering organization, Brooke was in constant communication with Ben, often carrying out the orders and keeping things running when Ben's attention was called elsewhere. Ben's trust in the man's handling of the power systems engineering teams meant that whatever he needed done, he could count on Brooke carrying things through. | |||
* '''[[Ames, Chelsea|Chelsea Ames]]''': While aboard ''Astrolabe'' for repairs, Ben had an interaction with Crewman Ames that resulted in what Chelsea saw an a mutual attraction between them. Ben has no memory of the event. | |||

===Missions on Starbase 118: Operations=== | ===Missions on Starbase 118: Operations=== | ||
* [[Starbase 118 The Mask of Sanity|Mask of Sanity]] | * [[Starbase 118 The Mask of Sanity|Mask of Sanity]]: It was no small task to identify and contain the "shadows" that found their way from a docked starship onto Starbase 118. Ben Livingston directed science teams in preventing the shadows from further infiltrating the station and eventually bringing the creatures in-phase to be dealt with by Security and Command. | ||
* [[Starbase 118 A Matter of Honor|A Matter of Honor]] | * [[Starbase 118 A Matter of Honor|A Matter of Honor]]: When it became clear that conflict with Klingons was inevitable, possibly culminating in an attack on the Starbase, Livingston assisted with planning and enacting defensive measures. Once aboard the starship USS Victory, Livingston led the Engineering department during Commander Breeman's absence.Preparations were made to the ship, including to a faulty Bussard Collector, but Livingston was injured while making repairs as the first blows were exchanged. Ben continued to assist as best as possible from Sickbay. | ||
* [[Starbase 118 The Odyssey Project|The Odyssey Project]] | |||
* [[Starbase 118 Cash On Delivery|Cash On Delivery]]: During the course of the mission, Ben led a crew in repairing the independent freighter ''Astrolabe'' -- despite his misgivings on the matter. It was while he was aboard the ship that it experienced a malfunction leading to a small explosion. As a result, Ben experienced a severe concussion and lost all memory of his work there. | |||
===Missions on {{USS|Excalibur|A}}=== | |||
* [[Excalibur Pythia's Tale|Pythia's Tale]]: Traveling to Agurtha, Ben participated in the discovery of an Iconian gateway, technology that allowed unwitting Tempestians to visit the Romulan world. | |||
* [[Excalibur Strange New Worlds|Strange New Worlds]] | |||
