Finch spent many years of her life in Uruguay, and therefore is able to speak Spanish despite its rare usage in present-day Federation.

About the Writer

USS Gorkon

Doreen Finch, most commonly known as Doz, is a lively, hands-on and occasionally facetious Human, currently posted as an Engineering Officer to the USS Gorkon, the flagship of the Tyrellian Defence and Exploration Taskforce.

After completing a course at the Martian Technical Services Academy, and qualifying as a Maintenance Engineer, she and a squadron of all-male friends began their careers as Starfleet Enlisted Personnel, with her own first Tour of Duty being aboard the USS Bonestell alongside her fellow recruit and confidant, Murphy.

Finch enjoyed a lowly but varied career, until things began to pick up during her Chief Petty years. In this period of time, superior officers often suggested that she commissioned to the higher ranks - though she often rebuffed the idea, preferring her life on "on the lower decks".

This all changed however with the death of Murphy, who she had reunited with during her twelve year stint aboard the USS Marigold; this profound loss caused her to utterly lose her emotional footing, and acted as the catalyst she needed to pursue a furtherance as Ensign, making her an older starting and therefore non-traditional officer.

Background


She was born to Iris and Freddie Finch in Uruguary, on Earth, the youngest of five and the only girl. Her father, a hard-as-nails but warm englishman from Birmingham, was a busied enlisted engineer for Starfleet and spent most of his time working away. Iris, a quieter but witty englishwoman from Coventry, was a petrologist who spent a bulk of her career in Uruguary studying its varied topography. Though born in Montevideo, Doz lived in a myriad of different houses throughout the country, namely in Santa Lucía, Carreta Quemada and Cerro Pelado. She therefore picked up the Spanish language, despite its lack of use in present day Federation.

During her teenage years, she returned to the British Isles along with all of her brothers and sought a part of her education in Birmingham schools.


Starfleet Career


Around age 20, Finch attended an intensive programme at the Mars Technical Services Academy, and it's attached speciality school, and soon after qualified as a Maintenance Engineer, focused on checking, repairing and servicing the interior subsystems of Federation starships. Although not her speciality, on her first Tour of Duty aboard the USS Bonestell, she was regularly ordered to perform maintenance on the ship's outer hull by a cantankerous Chief Engineering Officer1. It was during these duties however that she ended up fostering an appreciation for spacewalking.

Although not as academically-minded as other engineers, Finch's practical approach throughout her career enabled her to quickly learn how best to maintain the ships and facilities she worked on - and not without mistakes either. In her early days, she was often found squinting at manuals in confusion, and later abandoning them to enact her own coarse but clever style of repairs.
