He is secretly pleased that his son has followed in his own footsteps as a pilot. Vorka is chief helmsman in the Andorian Guard aboard the star cruiser Marvassi. He secretly wrote correspondences to his son but did not send them. On a trip back from Andoria on Stardate 239610, Jona received these communiques and learned of Vorka's death.

|'''Vexa zh'Lev'''
[[Image:Vexa-zhLev.jpg|100px|left|]]
Upon the Columbia's first visit to the newly established Dehner Base on Delta Vega I, Jona fell head over heels for one of the scientists stationed there. Vexa is a young Andorian woman that does specialized research in energy fields. She and Jona corresponded for several months over subspace while the Columbia explored the region. Vexa labeled herself as Jona's girlfriend and accompanied him on a trip back to Andoria for a family visit. They tried to make a long-distance relationship work after his transfer to the Gorkon on Stardate 239611 but they drifted apart until she ended the romance a few months later.

|'''Pholin Duyzer'''
[[Image:Pholin-Duyzer.jpg|100px|left|]]
The Denobulan science officer was one of the first people on board the Columbia to interact with Jona socially. They shared drinks in The Look Outt bar and spoke of their families and motivations. They have quickly become friends and enjoy laughing with one another and the occasional practical joke. After Duyzer ascended to the Executive Officer position aboard the Columbia, Jona felt envious of his friend but found it difficult to voice those shameful feelings.

[[Image:James-Colquhoun.jpg|100px|left|]]
Jona met James soon after he was posted to the Columbia. They have developed a good working relationship and mutual respect for one another's abilities. James and Jona became roommates and shared quarters on Deck 20 for a few months before Jona received his own personal quarters. When both transferred together to the USS Gorkon it spurred a sense of comradeship. Frequent drinking companions.

Jona appreciates his go-getter attitude and believes the Magna Roman will go far in the Fleet.

Jona met Arlo soon after she transferred aboard the Gorkon. They have shared several drinks on shore leave and participated in away team missions together, forming an easy friendship.

Jona spent his youth on Andoria but developed a taste for Terran cuisine and culture despite his traditionalist parents' objections. When he applied to Starfleet it was against the wishes of all four of his parents. This has led to a somewhat strained relationship with them because of their ongoing disapproval. Jona displays a natural ability at piloting and served for a year aboard an Andorian dilithium freighter to gain experience before attending the Academy. His hobbies include playing three-dimensional chess and reading Andorian and Terran historical novels. He is eager to learn and gain life experiences. He can be somewhat clumsy when nervous but covers with humor even in serious situations. Jona is fluent in Graalen (Andorian), Federation Standard and Klingon and has intermediate ability in Bolian.

{{Citation|Nebula Bar|239606.24|USS Columbia|"His descriptions of Losaria and it’s star system were so vivid and beautifully written that they took my breath away.

He brought others in with him and encouraged them to partake in the landscape."}}

He crafts his sims in a way that really underscores and reminds us how important Operations is to the smooth running of a ship. ... It can't be overstated how much another simmer feels notices and appreciated when an off-hand comment or situation they write into their sims is later reflected in one of Jona's.}}

I'm offically an ensign in Starfleet. I can't believe it! That final simulation was intense. Commanders Delano and Mei'konda had us on this holographic ship and everything went haywire. There was a ship that appeared on sensors and then there were these spider-like bugs that were feeding off the energy from the warp core. We had to abandon ship and head for the alien vessel. It was so real I almost forgot it was a holographic test. Looking forward to news of my assignment. The admiral says the duty postings will be available within the week. You know which ship I have my fingers crossed for! I tried contacting my <i>charan</i> but he refused the transmission. One day I hope to heal the rift with my parents.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
I think I've found my new favorite place on the ship. The Astrometrics Lab is amazing! You can alter the graviton fields in the room so that you can actually float among the star projections. Not quite the level of the holodeck but very close. Pholin Duyzer played a little trick on me while we were in there today and pretended to fall from the raised platform - only to float up again. I'll find a way to get back at him.

I am both ecstatic and confused. The captain just informed me of my first promotion. I never thought that it would come so soon. It is a humbling experience to be recognized for your hard work. I'm trying to contain myself and keep a level head. There's an old Terran book that I remember a quote from. "Pride cometh before the fall." Well ... I'll try not to let that happen. Oh yeah, and Colquhoun and I broke our replicator. What a mess! Hope I don't get into too much trouble for it.

We've been traveling for a week now toward the Losarian homeworld. I must admit I'm eager to learn more about this race of people.

I still don't understand it. The Columbia wasn't even damaged that badly in our fight with the Ya-Grhan! And now Starfleet is recalling us and decommissioning her. The old girl deserves better.

Our arrival at Giáng Sinh has afforded us a welcome bit of rest from the chaotic experience in the 'alternate reality' forced upon us by Q. I'm looking forward to the snowy landscape of the research station and getting to know the crew of the Gorkon better. The strange thing is that I've had interactions with some people in that reality that I've never met! It's pretty confusing. I need a drink ... and maybe a counselor.

I just arrived back from the beachfront celebration. This mission was a difficult one. What does this new foe mean for the likes of Vaeron and the Romulan and Federation colonists there? Only time will tell. I hope Starfleet can provide a more active presence here in the long term. I can't help but feel that we haven't seen the last of these fungus creatures. On a happier note, I was rewarded by Admiral Reynolds with three new service ribbons. I'm getting quite the collection! The Department Chief one is my favorite. It's the most plain-looking but it's recognition for doing what I love. I can't imagine being anywhere else right now. Except maybe back on Dehner Base with Vexa ... gods, Computer delete that last sentence.
