Starfleet Academy
During his time at Starfleet, he'd made a few friends. Not as many as he'd like, but just enough to keep him out of trouble.
Kala Maddox Friend

Outside of the Academy
Chythar Skyfire Friend These two met during their time on the USS Excalibur-A. While they never served on the same shift for longer than 10 minutes at a time, the shuttle to the USS Garuda was the longest both men had spent in the same room for longer than five minutes prior to their first day together on the Garuda. When Carter's console exploded on the bridge, Chythar was the first on the scene and diligently performed life-saving surgery to stabilize the young ensign. He had no idea that what he was actually doing was saving his future room mate. Once shore leave hit, the two men found that they were assigned to the same room. Carter had to face the fact his infatuation with Chythar may just be a passing phase of hero worship because the doc saved his life. Skyfire: What's up, Carter? “

Gabrielle Porchevska Friend The two were trapped in a turbolift aboard DSX, and had to smack Carter over the head with a clue-by-four regarding his feelings for the counselor. She told him that Ris liked him back, and now that he wasn’t a patient he had to contact her in order to get anywhere. She recently made the comment that the only time she sees him are when he comes into sickbay, so he will endeavor to rectify the situation once he has time. |
Mentors
Tristam Core Friend & Mentor Sometime after his incident on the bridge with the tactical console, it was pointed out to him that his hands were shaking. During a conversation with the captain and the acting chief engineer, the possibility of a permanent transfer to engineering came up followed by retraining, thus allowing him to finish SFA's engineering program with Cmdr. Core as a mentor. He had to discuss it with his counselor, and shortly after his meeting with her he realized he was committed to becoming an engineer. He went through one mission without the paperwork to back it up, then took steps to enroll himself in the distance learning Engineering program.

Roshanara Rahman Friend & Mentor Carter and Roshanara began their association on mixed terms: she was in JAG custody on the USS Garuda while he was a tactical officer. Since then, he's seen her as a professor, a superior, and a friend. She promoted him temporarily to provisional lieutenant JG and acting chief of engineering, but he did not serve long in this position before his transfer to the USS Columbia. Some time later, fate twisted again and he was able to return to the Invicta, serving there briefly before joining her on the USS Syracuse for a short time before his assignment as assistant chief of engineering aboard the USS Veritas. |
Nikki Ryan Friend & Mentor They've been serving together for a while during their tour aboard the USS Syracuse. During that time, Carter had gotten to know her briefly in the gold collar, but it wasn't until she transitioned from gold to teal aboard the USS Veritas that he'd actually had a prolonged conversation with her. |
Luna Walker Friend & Mentor Carter and Luna have served together aboard the Invicta briefly before she got shipped off somewhere that wasn't the Syracuse. Since the launching of the Veritas, Carter has been her right hand in the engine room and has been trying to learn the ins and outs of what it means to be chief. He'd inquired about taking more responsibility on the ship itself, then got transferred to SAR. Eventually, she transferred without warning. |
Romance
Raissa Moonsong Former counselor & ex-girlfriend Carter's initial meeting with Raissa was short, abridged. His first actual counseling session with her proved more insightful, and she helped him solidify his desire to transfer to engineering. His incident on the bridge involving the exploding tactical console made it clear that he doesn't belong behind one unless he's fixing it or re-configuring it from an engineering console. It took him a while to realize he felt more for her than what he had admitted during their one and only counseling session.
Greyson: Computer, halt turbolift. :: He paused. Took a slow breath, and then spoke again as he met her gaze. His own eyes had softened slightly from the angry glare that he gave the console while they were on the bridge. :: Our...last conversation, in Ten Forward...ended rather abruptly. This conversation about the console has helped, but...is it weird that you seem to have stirred another emotion in me besides the anger overcoming the fear at the console? “

Anjar Thoran Propulsion Systems Officer & Current Romantic Interest What originally started out on the Veritas as a casual "we work together, no fraternization" turned to a strong "Need to help you through things" after an away team was presumed lost. This resulted in Thoran getting a talking-to while Carter collectively kept his head and tried to track the signal. The desire to help Anjar become a better man has grown stronger since, but it wasn't until their odd date in the structural integrity field generator housing that he admitted it. The oddness of the date itself was more due to location than anything. It grew serious, funny, and serious again before ending. Greyson: Ris and I...broke up for reasons. It was the only serious relationship I’ve had in my life, and it took me a long time to get over it. Then I found you. :: He paused and took a breath. :: Ever since Havley’s Hope... Don’t ask me how I knew. Maybe it was the way you processed the disappearance of the away team that made me realize how much I...I felt for you. “
