During that shore leave, Keneth had a meeting with him in which they discussed his plans and feelings about his Starfleet career. Keneth credits Shayne as having been the first one to actually force him to consider what his future would be.

Rapidly realizing what had happened, Keneth unplugged the device. However this action effectively 'killed' it leaving him feeling great remorse at what had occurred. Though he later admitted that the creature was technically an enemy combatant at that point in time, he maintains that it was his negligence that caused the whole fiasco, from the death of the creature to the near-destruction of the ship from the sudden acceleration. It has made him far more cautious of what he did with alien hardware, especially when the consequences were entirely unknown. | Rapidly realizing what had happened, Keneth unplugged the device.

Soon after arriving at Starbase 821, he had a conversation with Commander Shayne. In it, he talked about his past on Earth, his motivations at the academy and reasoned through how his expectations and desires had changed because of the recent ordeal. He ended up firming up his goals and taking a definitive stance that he wanted to work towards command, though he was still unsure of where the path would take him. Re-enforced by a desire to move on, improve himself and get over his lingering guilt from the death of the arachnid creature, he entered his new permanent posting aboard the ''Arrow'' with greater gusto as the ship moved in to the Alpha Isles preparing to investigate the sudden appearance of millions of distress signals and deal with the implications of such a mystery. | Soon after arriving at Starbase 821, he had a conversation with Commander Shayne.

===Evading Mist, USS ''Arrow'' (239707.22 - 239708.31)=== | |||
This mission was a complex one for Keneth. Early on, he was enlisted by the science department to help secure the biomechanical creature from escape. This led to him butting heads with Ensign Zicv, who disagreed with his more violent approach. While he had his doubts about the effectiveness of Jana's proposed solution, he went along with it, a fact that would torment him later. As they proceeded towards the Alpha Isles, he found himself with little to do and ended up having idle conversation with the Mission Specialist - a stoic Brikar by the name of Eerie. This changed rapidly however as the warp core got stuck as they tried to run from the Sheliak. He quickly proceeded to the bridge to debug the problem, which turned out to be some sort of malicious code in the system. | |||
It was quickly decided that the best way to repair the system would be to restart the computers entirely. This posed a significant engineering problem, especially as they were rapidly approaching a singularity and needed automated helm control back online. In a stroke of inspiration, Keneth realized that he could use the ambient microwave radiation of the anomaly to power the system back on. Unfortunately, this ended up being insufficient in practice and he was forced to reset the system instead - loading the original twenty four year old software onto the ship.As they continued to Atlas Base, he made several of his concerns about their situation known to the Bridge Crew, including the implausibility of their situation and several incompatible aspects of what had just happened. | |||
Reaching Theta 122, he along with the rest of the crew began a much needed shore leave and a an uphill battle with the never ending list of repairs. | |||
===Shore Leave, Atlas Base (239708.31 - 239710.09)=== | |||
Shore leave started out unexpectedly, with Keneth being dragged into teaching a cooking class, despite knowing nothing about the art. Other than his culinary escapades, he also spent significant amounts of time on repair work, crawling through shafts alone. He also faced his reckoning with his feelings since last mission. In a massive boil over he collapsed in his quarters, wondering if Thompson dying was really his negligence, and whether he should have overridden the science officer and have installed a lethal failsafe for the spider. He ended up talking to his sister Riley for the first time in a while. While she does pacify him, he realizes that it would be a long time before he fully recovers, quoting 'God may forgive a man, but his nervous system won't.' to sum up his feelings. He also finds that he has forgotten his late brother's birthday for the first time in years. Riley warns him not to lose sight of what's important before hanging up and leaving him to his thoughts. | |||
By the next day, his feelings have crustified and he has begun actively avoiding the science department, a feat considering it is right next to his quarters. Later, he joins Ensign Regan Wilde for a planetary survey, in which the two talk and Keneth begins to feel less alone again. They also find the first signs of peculiarities on the surface, including some sort of water system. | |||
In the awards ceremony on Atlas Base, he was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and received a commendation, something he was not expecting. While he, like seemingly every other officer, questions whether he deserves the promotion, he accepts the fact there will never be a perfect time. | |||
Overall, as shore leave ended and the crew began a new mission, he was feeling a lot more stable, even if he wasn't as happy as before. He is still uncomfortable near Science Officers and the corresponding department, but he feels much more integrated with the crew and hopeful for the future. | |||
===A Scouring of Stars, USS ''Arrow'' (239710.09 - 239801.08)=== | |||
As the Sheliak approach Theta 122, the race is on the figure out what is going on with the base on the surface, Atlas base. The mission ends with stalemate and a rough alliance with the flotilla of ships surrounding the planet. It is then that Keneth abruptly takes a leave of absence, just as shore leave begins and shortly after his father gets diagnosed with a terminal illness. Little love is lost between the two, but he did take shore leave for a reason ... | |||
===Training Cruise 2: Here We Go Again, USS ''Centris-A'' (239811.15 - 239811.21)=== | |||
On stardate 239811.15, around eleven months after he left active service, Keneth returns to Starfleet. Due to his extended absence he is required to redo his training cruise aboard the USS ''Centris-A'' before reassignment. Keneth comes back a changed, more sarcastic person with a hint of overconfidence. It remains to be seen where he goes after graduation. It should be noted that Keneth decided that life is too short and completed a top level piloting certification that terrified his sister during his absence. Entering the holodeck for the final exam, it feels good to be back! | |||
===Endless Night, USS ''Arrow'' (239811.21 - 239901.01)=== | |||
The ''Arrow'' crew had been stranded on the Midnight Planet, a strange place with nights that stretch for weeks, violent flora and fauna, no communications and lost crewmembers. Keneth helps the recently arrived Lieutenant Sheppard get medical assistance, before joining Commander MacKenna with repairing the communication equipment. In the end, the lifeforms on the planet, wonderful in their own way, help the crew get back to the ship safe and sound, with one exception. Amanda Crossley died a hero. | |||
===Shore Leave, Casperia Prime (239901.01 - 239902.10)=== | |||
The crew is back on shore leave after the Nightmare Planet and Keneth spends several days in repairs, half sulking. Eventually, First Officer Maz Rodan has an intriguing conversation about tea, habits and how Keneth really should go down to the planet. | |||
Upon arriving on Casperia Prime, Keneth heads to one of the strange establishments and asks for a drink, only to be told that the local Starfleet officers had been causing trouble. Affronted, he asks the bartender who these officers were, only to find out it was this ever divisive Patrick. Hauling the drunk crewman out, he heads abck to the ship, only to be stopped by marine Vincent Jones. | |||
A quick conversation later, they head to prepare the barbecue Captain Shayne had asked him to take point on. Quickly, Patrick becomes a liability as they try to gain access to their foodstuffs, only to have the crewman begin insulting the dockmaster's family members. With some quick thinking from Jones, they make it out, though Keneth is quite disgruntled that he couldn't deal with the situation on his own. | |||
They end the night with the barbecue finally going and talking to the others as they wait for the Awards ceremony to begin. | |||
Back on the ship, Keneth has a long discussion with new engineering officer Connor Dewitt about himself and the ship. They become well acquainted and Keneth is hopeful to have formed a friendship. The next day they both meet with Chief Thaon Brom and help him with the search for Commander Rodan's pet millipede, which has begun wrecking havoc on the ship's systems. | |||
Overall Keneth feels a lot more relaxed and in line with the crew as they prepare to meet their latest mission head on! | |||
