'''Living Quarters'''

{{Heading|Mission History|Teal}}

On arriving aboard the Gorkon, Genkos was thrown straight into the deep end. Meeting Yiggtissi on his arrival in sickbay, his first duty was to stabilise the recently wounded Tasha MacFarlane, and once she was stabilised, he helped to heal the Saurian's shoulder. At the close of shift, he went to his quarters for the very first time.

With the business aboard Starbase 173 completed, the Gorkon crew were given shore leave on the pleasure cruise ship, the Cloud Skipper. At first Genkos visited the spa where he met with Tasha MacFarlane, Ayiana Sevo, Sasak and Petra Bjarnadottir-Stoyer, after which he visited the on-board nature reserve with Ovidia Rosicia. Returning to the Gorkon, he carried out Eerie's annual physical exam, after which he was embarrassed when interrupted dancing. After this, Genkos, Yiggtissi and Tali Namura created and attached MacFarlane's new forearm, an operation which Genkos carried out with Yiggtissi's assistance. They then ran a battery of tests on the new arm to test its capabilities, after which Yiggtissi, Namura and Genkos had a meal together in Sickbay's Crew Lounge. After the shift, Genkos had a shower in his quarters before visiting the Gorkon's bar, Sto'Vo'Kor, where he bumped into Yiggtissi and Xanti Ilas Ysa Liss. The next day, Genkos went to the awards ceremony in the Wardroom where he saw Admiral Reynolds for the first time, before having a drink with Orson Marshall and Eerie, during which he witnessed the return of Nugra to the Gorkon.

Genkos was attached to the team sent to the Administration Centre to help with the protesting Romulan citizens. With Eerie, Ayiana Sevo, Tasi, and Alucard Vess, Genkos met with Governor Khaveid and entered the facility. After a heated discussion with the Governor, Genkos and Eerie were sent outside to talk to some of the protesters, but with an storm incoming, and with tempers running high, the decision was made to move everybody indoors. Once inside, Genkos helped the others disperse care packages, but an antagonist encounter with Dhisuia got Genkos reprimanded by Sevo, Vess and the Governor. Back in the conference room, their meeting was cut short by the announcement that a beating was occurring on the floor above. It was Dhisuia, the woman who had called Genkos a cripple who was being beaten up. Whilst Eerie and Sevo stopped the violence, Genkos gave first aid. However it was not enough, and he, Vess and Tasi stayed to stabilise her whilst Eerie and Sevo went off to get supplies. They had to re-inflate her lung, fix a pelvic fracture and stop a hematoma, which was made considerably easier when Eerie and Sevo returned with medical supplies.  

Arriving back from Sikuna, Genkos tried to relax with a game of golf on the holodeck before carrying out Ferier Lanta's annual physical, as well as Davine D'fini's examination on her arrival on board the Gorkon. Consumed by guilt over Dhisuia's beating, he called his parents for some advice. He was then invited to dinner with Yiggtissi and his family. On his way there, he was flown down to the planet by Crewman Roshier Jackson. He shared his shuttlecraft with Tasi, with whom he had a long conversation about Genkos' actions on Sikuna, Lurith, and Genkos' general mental health. He then had an incredibly pleasant dinner with Yiggtissi, his wife Innouasag, and his daughter Jainnoirra. During the crew's camping trip, Genkos spent an evening around the campfire with Groznin Smith, Caedan Nkai and Sera zh'Aella. That evening he had a dreadful nightmare that brought all his fears together. The next morning he breakfasted with Jainnorra, then they met with Davine D'fini to go the zoo together. However, the rickety shuttle they had boarded crashed, killing the pilot, Magna Vugnis, who was impaled on half of Genkos' cane. Genkos lost his cybernetic leg, but D'fini and Jainnorra had only minor injuries. They were swiftly rescued and twenty-four hours later Genkos was back in his quarters on the Gorkon with a new biosynthetic leg, where he met with Davine and they discussed the aftermath of the crash, before heading to the mess hall for dinner. The next evening, the penultimate on Trill, Genkos was promoted to Lieutenant (JG) and received his first task from the new CMO, Yiggtissi - conduct a report on the efficacy of changing the standard medkit. After the Gorkon set off, Genkos carried out a routine check-up on Valesha Sienelis which was distinctly uncomfortable for him, as she is a Romulan. However, it made him start to see the Romulans from a different light.

For details of what happened in the Dream State, please see [[Genkos Sim/Skarbek]]

In order to try and escape the Dream State, Genkos joined minds with Erin Reynolds in an attempt to contact the conscious mind of Admiral Quinn Reynolds. Although she was able to tell them their real identities as Starfleet officers, she was unable to help them wake up. After leaving them alone, Genkos explored Erin's mind revealing her real identity and personality, and then she did the same to Genkos. In doing so, she unleashed a psychic block that Genkos was unaware of that had been placed there by his father Tillul Sim. Before he could process that, he woke up in Shuttle Bay 2 with Lt. (JG) Smith and Lt. Marshall, and tried to investigate an accident that had occurred therein. Before long he was called to Sickbay to carry out a successful spleen replacement on Caedan Nkai with the aid of the EMH.

After performing the operation, Genkos left his patient and took a shower, which was interrupted by the EMH. Returning to his quarters, he called home, and discussed the revelation of the psychic block with his mother. He also sent a brief message to Erin Reynolds to discuss their mental connection, before bumping into Tali Namura and going to Sto'Vo'Kor with her. They had a meal with Xanti Ilas Ysa Liss, after which Genkos returned to his quarters. He then received a visit from Ferier Kian who asked him for advice over his relationship with Emilia Krugol and also gave him a beautifully handcarved cane. Not long after, Kian visited Genkos in sickbay with very low isoboramin, and together they shared flashbacks to one of Kian's past lives in the Dominion War. Still on duty in Sickbay, Genkos was visited by Cory Stoyer after his accident on the holodeck, as well as Nakura Nightfur for her primary checkup. His telepathy still wildly out of control, Genkos received training from Kel Baina to maintain his mental block, training which is still ongoing. Soon after, Genkos hosted a party for the medical staff in Holodeck 9, the highlight of which was Genkos and Tali Namura carrying Corliss Fortune back to her quarters, a little worse for wear. Back on duty, Genkos carried out a routine check-up on Groznin Smith, before visiting Corliss Fortune and describing the betrayal he felt by his father's actions. At the end of shore leave, Genkos attended the party held on the outer hull, at which he was promoted to a full Lieutenant, and made Chief Medical Officer.

Genkos was carrying out research on Rushton's aboard the USS Njörðr when it was struck by an odd subspace nebular that caused the gravity to shift, and Genkos was thrown to the ceiling. It was aboard the Njörðr that Genkos first met [[Joan Basilone]] and [[Carmen Tis]] as well as the littlest pup, Toto. It was a tense and horrific experience, but Genkos managed it with their help and that of Jo Marshall. Severely injured by the end of the mission, Genkos was rushed into the USS Yarahla's sickbay for a series of operations.

After recovering from his injuries aboard the Yarahla, Genkos was gifted the young puppy Toto by Ensign Aleksandra Yashkin (with whom he later spent an unforgettable evening), a puppy he has had ever since. After speaking to his mother about her new boyfriend, and her recent name change, Genkos decided to change his own surname, Sim, to his mother's name, Adea. Although it is Betazoid tradition to take a maternal surname, his father had spoken passionately about his dying family name, and that's why he was called Sim. He met with Joan Basilone and her friends on the surface of Deluvia IV, before going back to his quarters with Aleksandra. Back into the swing of things, he carried out checkups on Jang, Joan Basilone, Samira Neathler and Kyrrha Tereen, as well as attending appointments with Corliss and Kafkazet. He also met up with his romantic partner, Kel Baina, several times whilst on the surface. He had heartfelt conversations with Erin Reynolds and Groznin Smith, the first about their mindmelding aboard the Skarbek, and the second about the recent departure of his son.

After a briefing on the Gorkon, Genkos was assigned to his first away team as leader. He was put in charge of Stoyer, Neathler, and Tereen. They took a shuttle craft down to the asteroid Nassau, where their mission was to capture the Orion Syndicate boss, Leelou. After renting a hotel room to utilise as a base, Genkos sent Stoyer and Neathler to the market to find materials for a neutralising device that Tereen was building. However, Genkos and Tereen were interrupted by a drunk Gorn, who they fought into unconsciousness, and fled down the fire escape. Reconvening in a bar named the Copper next to the Vortex, Leelou's base, they formed a plan of attack. Genkos and Tereen sneaked into the back of the club, surprising Leelou, and managing to subdue and capture her as a team. Escorting her back to their shuttle became tricky however, and they got into a gunfight near the docks. Thankfully, a well placed shot from Stoyer took her down, and they managed to get her back to the Triumphant without further issues. Arriving at the Triumphant, however, Genkos discovered that Jo Marshall was severely injured, and he stayed by her bed until they could reach the Gorkon. She was also visited by [[Caitríona Cayne]], the Gorkon's new medical ensign, with whom he had a heartfelt conversation, which was crashed by a critically injured Groznin Smith.

Genkos began his shore leave, after recovering from Nassau, by taking part in a shuttlecraft recertification course. Unfortunately he was unpleasantly surprised to see that the pilot was none other than [[Ghant Xerix]], the man he dated, albeit briefly, at the Academy. As they had not left things in a good position, the meeting was heated, and resulted in Ghant beaming Genkos into Sickbay, an act that made Genkos feel extremely angry and violated.  

Once safely ensconced in his office, he met with [[Caitríona Cayne]] to discuss her performance on Nassau, and carry out her first medical exam aboard the Gorkon, before finding an apologetic gift from Ghant left on his desk. This only served to make him angrier as Ghant was accusing him of hiding his identity with his name change. However, receiving two medals and a promotion to Lieutenant Commander quickly put paid to those feelings. He had a brief, but he hopes helpful, chat with [[L'rann]] who was suffering from survivor's guilt.

<h3>{{LCARS-bar-left|Aboard the Juneau|200|COLOR=Teal}}</h3>

Genkos served as the Chief Medical Officer on the USS Juneau during its test flights of the Warp XV Engine. After meeting the various department heads, and Nurse Selina Masterson, Genkos began doing the primary medical check-ups on various members of staff, including Ghant Xerix (with whom he had a frank discussion about their recently dissolved relationship), Tiria Hamsaki, Samira Neathler, Toryn Raga, Alastriona DeTroyes, and Kelrod. Geoffrey Teller called him into the Brew Continuum after suffering minor burns from an exploding piece of coffee apparatus, where they were interrupted by the FO, Kiliak Jo who remonstrated Teller for managing his franchise instead of being the Chief Engineer. He began a rebounding relationship with the Juneau’s resident FNS reporter, the stunning Georgette Lamaelle, with whom he had several memorable evenings. He was involved in a short incident when a surveillance device was located in his office, after which he had a brief meal with Kiliak in the Mess Hall. Later, he was dispatched down the starboard nacelle to deal with the fallouts of injuries caused when an energy discharge attached itself to a pylon, joining Kelrod in his investigation of the phenomenon. Investigating a suspected tampering incident in Environmental Support with Sienelis, Johns, Kelrod and Hyden led to them accidentally detonating a hidden bomb. Genkos thankfully managed to save the young ensign, a young Iridian called Dhawan, who had been the closest to the blast point. The Iridian was badly burned, but through quick thinking and improvisation, Genkos managed to stabilise him before they were forced to move deeper into the ship to prevent any further explosions. His final “mission” aboard the Juneau was a response to a distress signal aboard the Vulcan passenger ship, the SS Ascent Vine. Genkos was initially charged with triaging their passengers, but was swiftly moved to aid Fleet Commander T’Kosa who was suspected to have been poisoned. Before he could do too much however, he and the rest of the team (Sienelis, Johns and Peters) were beamed back aboard the Juneau in time to observe the detonation of the asteroid field. This caused the destruction of the Ascent Vine and also seemed to be the deaths of the 6,000 Vulcans aboard, but it was later revealed that they were all saved by the Orion Syndicate. They were all later released, with the exception of Fleet Commander T’Kosa...

<h3>{{LCARS-bar-left|Back Aboard the Gorkon|200|COLOR=Teal}}</h3>

After being taunted by the Q for his savagery and lack of care as 'Kos, Genkos awoke in Sickbay. He quickly established a triage for the numerous medical emergencies that sprang up before heading to the bridge to help cure Jo Marshall's radiation sickness which, like all effects of the Q, dissipated quickly.

{{Heading|Professional Relationships|Teal}}

* '''[[Samira Neathler]]'''

Genkos met Samira at the Hull Party after the Skarbek dream state, and was not impressed by her judgemental attitude towards their counsellor, [[Corliss Fortune]]. His attitude towards her softened on Nassau as she proved herself a capable officer who challenged him just the right amount.

* '''[[Ayiana Sevo]]

Ayiana Sevo helped train Genkos before his assignment to the Gorkon. They socialised briefly in a hot tub on the Cloud Skipper, and they clashed over Genkos' behaviour on Sikuna. Genkos was glad when she was removed as First Officer, as he believes her temper is detrimental to her ability to act in that role.

* '''[[Corliss Fortune]]'''

* '''[[Groznin Smith]]'''

Genkos bumped into Groznin during the camping trip to Trill, and sat with him, [[Caedan Nkai]] and [[Sera zh'Aella]] chatting and generally getting to know them. They received their promotions to Lieutenant (JG) at the same time, and then, when in the dream state on the Skarbek, it was an examination of Groznin that led Genkos to believe that they were all asleep. He woke up next to him and Jo Marshall when they returned to consciousness, and the three of them investigated the Cargo Bay together. Groznin brought Cory into sickbay when he was injured in a holodeck accident, and soon after came in for his own checkup. Genkos noted that according to his dopamine levels, Groznin was in love, which led to a frank discussion about romance and Smith's own medical knowledge. Genkos likes Groznin, and is charmed by his boundless optimism and enthusiasm, even if they are only for all things Groznin.

* [[Prantares Ribbon]] - Presented by Quinn Reynolds: “From the moment he arrived on the ship, Genkos Adea left a deep impression on everyone around him — though sometimes he wished he hadn't! A throwaway comment on a Romulan colony had terrible consequences, and became one of the formative incidents in this medical officer's career as he tended to the aftermath. It's something that he still refers to now, and it's wonderful to see how his early experiences have and continue to shape his character. We have had the pleasure of watching him grow from an inexperienced young ensign into a skilled department chief, the writer expertly weaving Adea's skills and abilities into the story when the spotlight is upon him, all the while supporting other members of the crew to ensure they have their chance to shine, too. A recent mission is a fine example of this; when his team were infected with the deadly Rushton's Disease aboard a broken and failing ship, he made sure that their quest for a cure provided plenty of opportunities for non-medical members of the team to have some fun. It was very well done; a delight to read and I know a lot of fun to sim, reminding us all exactly lucky we are to have him as our Chief Medical Officer!"

*[[Pathfinder Award]] - Presented by Quinn Reynolds: "One of the things that stands out the most about Elliot in a mentoring role is how genuine and dedicated he is in his desire to see other people succeed and enjoy themselves. His advice is full of insights, offering clear and useful feedback to help those simmers under his care, prompting them to develop strategies and think about the way the sim comes together. All of this is done with kindness and good humour, and it's telling that some of the most glowing nominations have come from those who have benefitted from and are grateful for his mentoring assistance. As so, for his care and commitment to mentoring, we are delighted to award the Pathfinder Award to Genkos Adea"
