'''Lieutenant Commander Quentin Collins III''' is a human male serving as '''First Officer''' aboard the {{USS|Arrow}}, currently assigned to the Alpha Isles.  


Though somewhat odd and uncomfortably verbose, he has a strong sense of duty and loves life aboard a ship, terrestrial or otherwise.

* '''Build''': Almost hilariously lanky. He has strength in his arms and legs due to his time at sea, but they are trapped in a scarecrow like frame. His recent small gain in muscle has done nothing to change his cartoonish frame.
* '''Style of Dress''': On duty, Quentin likes to keep his uniform in pristine condition. Though he sometimes will fiddle with it when he becomes nervous. Off duty, sometimes he will just undo the jacket of his uniform and various other relaxed variants of his uniform. When he changes however he prefers larger knit sweaters, khakis, comfortable boots, and oxford shirts. An almost utilitarian view on comfort. Lately he has also taken to wearing a watch given to him by his father; a silver linked banded timepiece.

* '''Glasses''': On occasion Quentin makes use of a pair of glasses which he uses to sharpen his vision and take in fine detailing as his eyes are good at a distance, but slightly fail at closer ranges. His first pair (heavy black frames) have since been shattered. Quentin replaced them with a largish pair of horn-rims (also black), but wonders about their long term status as part of his look. Prior to the current mission, Quentin replicated another pair of chunky plastic frames, but at a much smaller, more metropolitan size and now uses those as his go-to pair for the moment.

The pair were bonded further after the Arrow's contact with the Sheliak injuried Helmsman Waters, leading Quentin to visit her in Sickbay and help in her rehabilitation efforts.

Though the children of his hometown were very cruel, never letting him forget his legacy as a Collins. They took to calling him "Creepy Collins" due to his curiosity and somewhat unorthodox way of carrying himself at an early age. This nickname would follow him into Starfleet Academy, but it never once dampened his love of learning nor his drive to solve what he took to calling the "riddles of the earth".

Quentin had a rocky, but substantial schooling in his home town, graduation Collinsport High with honors and intentions to join Starfleet soon after. But his domineering mother had other plans for him. Having gained somewhat of a reputation through the state's academic community as an authority on the occult and spiritualism, she wished for her eldest to set the example for his siblings, Sara and David and follow in her footsteps. But terrestrial knowledge wasn't enough for Quentin and more so he wished to escape the town that bore his name in order to make a life for himself beyond Maine. Eventually his mother wore him down and he attended the college of her matriculation Salem State University in Salem, Massachusetts, earning a degree in Parapsychology with a minor in Anthropology, which pleased his mother who wanted him to take a more "Traditional Route".

Though he enjoyed the research and the rigors of student life, he was still unfulfilled and struck a deal with his parents. If he could work one full year at sea, he would be allowed to join Starfleet and finally answer the call of the stars. They relented and Quentin was elated. Working as a deck hand on one of his family's fishing boats (''The Josette''), he found himself at sea, as it ignited a whole new love and respect for service and travel. He also saw something at sea that further fueled his need to understand the unknown and to to experience it any way he could and he knew the best place for that would be in space.

Soon after his year at sea was up, he joined the Academy and though it was precisely where he wanted to be, it was still a difficult road for him. He was quite a bit older than the rest of his class and his unorthodox style of problem solving resurrected his nickname and he found himself the target of a certain amount of bullying. But all the same he carried on, hardened by his hometown and the sea, to forge himself into a capable Science Officer with a focus on Xenology (with special classes in alien folklore and myths) and furthering his studies in Anthropology, building on his minor in college with a broader scope of cultures, species, and empires. He also took very well to his basic level flying classes, but never pursued a track as a Pilot. He attributed it to his time on Earth's oceans, telling instructors that he would rather "scan than sail, but a good deck hand should always be well rounded."

However, Quentin Collins continues to waste precious seconds considering the impact of his actions and commands on his "friends" and "colleagues", thinking far more with his heart than a true Commanding Officer should. He also continues to show a recklessness that is unbecoming of a Science Officer and could very well lead to deadly consequences and miscalculations should he continue to act impulsively. It is of the opinion(s) of these program(s) that should he sever his emotional connections and adopt a more practical and utilitarian mindset, he would bloom into a fine, functional Commanding Officer.

'''Mission #1: The People's Comet'''
 
Quentin's first mission on the new ship would find him attempting to stop a rogue comet. One that was about obliterate a small pre-Warp society's planet. But as they tracked the comet, they found something altogether stranger. A de-powered and damaged second Federation starship. The U.S.S. Arrow NCC-69829.
 
Dispatched as part of an Away Team, he was sent to investigate the ship. Immediately signs of trouble revealed themselves. Scorch markets from energy weapons lined the halls and Quentin found evidence of rapid molecular destabilization. A telltale sign of The People's weaponry. He, along with Ensign Nakada and Master Chief Kingsley started to move toward the Bridge but were blocked by a People's boarding party, equipped with massive, battle ready EV suits.
 
Causing a distraction, Quentin allowed for his companions to incapacitate the People and tag them for custody. But there problems didn't stop there as they took back the Bridge. A massive dampening field, coupled with a rampant and quite aggressive computer virus had taken ahold of the listing vessel, a leftover gift from the former crew who had abandoned ship after their mysterious mission was completed. Though power was restored, thanks to the efforts of Ensigns Nakada, DeBarres, and Caden (working in tandem with the team in Engineering), Quentin was forced to install his command codes and security clearance, effectively ending his tenure as the Juneau's Chief Science Officer and Second Officer.

'''Mission #.05: The Frightful Flight to Starbase 821'''
 
After his abrupt transfer and installation as a "Commanding Officer" of the Arrow, Quentin and his new crew worked to fly the rediscovered ship back to Federation space for repair and debrief. The ship, however, did NOT make it easy as more sabotage (including a bio-mechanical nest of insects and random Warp spikes) revealed itself as they flew. A "lifeline" however was soon thrown to them, as the crew discovered a way to shunt the blasting Warp energy safely(ish) into space and allow themselves to be scooped into a tractor beam by Starbase 821.
 
Soon followed a few days of welcome respite as the ship and it's new crew were allowed berth on 821, while Starfleet Command decided what to do with them all. In the waiting Quentin was made aware of his father's passing and soon official promoted to First Officer, where he would serve under Commander Randal Shayne as the Arrow's new CO/XO.
 
Quentin is now in transit, with the newly repaired and restocked Arrow, to the ALPHA ISLES in the Alpha Quadrant to investigate a number of emergency signals seemingly to originate from the area's main installation in the region; Atlas Base.
 
It is of the opinion of this program(s) that Quentin Collins displays a respect of the position he now inhabits as well as a keen joy of duty that makes him uniquely suited to perform admirably in the position. However, it is also of the opinion(s) of this programs(s) that the recent loss of his father and subsequent feelings of disconnection and depression that have been dredged to the surface in its wake might prove to be a hurtle Quentin won't prove able to overcome without serious therapeutic work coupled with rigorous, regular meditation and self-reflection.
 
'''Mission #1: The Coming of the Sheliak'''
 
Reassigned to the Alpha Quadrant, Quentin Collins soon found himself adjusting to his new Command in a completely different area of space. Dubbed "The Alpha Isles", this section of the ALPHA QUADRANT is home to nearly a dozen independent races and factions, the most powerful of which being the Ferengi Alliance. The ship was tasked with investigating a series of distress signals that seemed to be centered around Atlas Base, a non-commissioned research facility situated deep within the Isles.
 
But on the way to the waypoint, the ship was pulled from Warp by a massive Sheliak convoy, lead by a Director Tamazotz claiming that they were collecting on an "outstanding debt account". After some tense negotiations, the Sheliak fired on the Arrow with some kind of pisonic beam device, incapacitating a number of the crew and injuring a few of the Senior Staff. The Arrow then tried escape, tricking the Sheliak vessel slightly by allowing them to advance on the ship, only to punch to high Warp at the moment of near contact. The Sheliak gave chase, but were quickly routed by a nearby spasial phenomena that the Arrow itself was almost sucked into.
 
Having shaken their pursuers, the crew and Quentin turned to the job of repairing the ship and making her presentable for their first contact with Atlas Base and her homeworld Theta 122. But when they arrived, they found much more than they expected. Namely 100 ship, all calling for aid.
 
'''Mission #2: Collins and the Crisis'''
 
Greeted instantly by 100 refugee ships and the irate Doctor Immelmann (director of the Atlas Base complex), the Arrow was jarred into quick action. Striking a quick deal for the right to dock, Commander Shayne offered the skills and time of the crew for a working shore leave, one dedicated to the repair of the Base as well as the shoring of Arrow systems repairing her after her fraught first cruise. The leave passed with little incident, with Quentin and the rest of the crew working to patch up the Base as well as acclimate themselves to the embattled sector space.
 
Then came a real chance. Atlas Base's water treatment facility junction had started to fall into disrepair so naturally Quentin led a team to repair it, all the name of ingratiating himself and the ship to the Base's staff and leadership. Meanwhile on the ship, Commander Shayne sought to led a discussion with several of the "local luminaries" of the sector, inviting a number of captains and leaders from the refugee ships. Delegates from the Ferengi, Caldonian, Cardassian, and Klingon crews amassed around Theta 122 arrived to the ship to talk about how they could contribute to peace and prosperity for the beleaguered Base world. Also among them was a boisterous Orion pirate captain, Eru Ghant, with her own goals and agenda. All of which would be terrfyingly clear before too long.
 
Meanwhile on the surface, Quentin, aided by Keneth Nakada, Charlotte DeBarres, and Chief of Security Artinius Serinus, set about repairing the Base's water treatment facility. Greeted by a shifty "overseer" and his crew, Quentin's away team gained a perimeter and started about the work. Work of which was lessened by the unexpected help from some of the sympathetic Base staff. But soon the masquerade was cast away and the "overseer" and his crew were revealed to be pirates! In league with Captain Ghant, who had launched a daring attack on the interior of the Arrow FROM the interior of the Arrow, backed up by her ship the Razor's Edge (a Maquis Heavy Raider).
 
Quentin and his team repelled the pirates and took them into custody, alerting the Theta authority to their presence. The team were then picked up by the shuttlecraft piloting of Chloe Waters and Commander Eerie. As the combined teams sped away from the planet, they were greeted by the priate attack already in progress. The Edge had started firing upon the Arrow and the crew worried their approach had been compromised. But Chloe Waters had a plan. One even Quentin couldn't have predicted.
 
Measuring the active shield harmonics of the Raider and modulating their own with the readouts, Waters' turned the shuttlecraft into a sort of "super bounce ball" (terminology taken from Quentin Collins' personal far more colorful log), pinging hard off the Radier's shield, and launching them unharmed into the Arrow's besieged shuttlebay. From there the team went their separate ways with Collins dispatching Serinus to link up with his Security forces, Nakada to the Engine Room, and the rest with him to take the Bridge stations.
 
After a short, slightly hectic trip to the Bridge, the officers took their stations, aiming to take the fight to the pirate's Raider. Unfortunately, the ship had been boarded by several boarding parties, one of which trying their hardest to breach the Bridge. But thanks to some quick thinking and shooting by the Bridge Crew, (along with some timely introduction from the factions represented in the conference earlier) the Edge was knocked from the battle. Just in time for the would-be-pillagers to blow a hole through the door.
 
Quentin acted face, intercepting them before they could swing their swords or aim their phasers. Directing their eyes toward the Main Viewer, he attempted a bold social gambit. Appealing to their greed, he pointed out that their ship was adrift and heavily damaged. All of their loot, from across a number of hauls was in danger of burning away. What good would taking the Arrow be in the wake of such loss? The pirates held for a moment...before retreating to their ships, marking an effective retreat. The crew then started the business of repairing the ships, tending their wounded, and looking toward the incoming shore leave.
 
It is of the opinion of these programs that Quentin Collins continues to perform adequately in his duties, providing the ship and her Captain a competent First Officer and decently talented overall officer. However, it is also the opinions of these programs that he continues to act with a sort of recklessness, assuming the best of the people he comes into contact with until they show him otherwise. It is of the opinion of these programs that he start to establish a more pragmatic, more detached view of his subordinates in order to gain the clarity (and practicality) required for higher Command.
