Personal Background and Early Career History

Seneca Wilde was born at the Tenebris Colony research facility on the Federation colonial world Amoran IV, near Bajoran space. After her biological parents were killed in a localized natural disaster a pair of Federation anthropologists stationed at the research facility located on the planet adopted Seneca as they're own. A pair of homosexual men, the anthropologists found themselves isolated from the Bajoran religious communities in the colonies. They lived on farmland in the fertile plains of Amoran IV by themselves. The isolation drew close ties and strong bonds between Seneca and her fathers as they researched ancient ruins of the long dead civilizations of Amoran IV as a family.

Amoran IV was a unique world and the civilizations there evolved in unique ways because of it. The Amoran star was situated in the middle of a dense cloud of interstellar dust. Subsequently, the Amoran planets had a hazy, dimmed view of their host star and absolutely no view of the stars of the greater universe. The first time Seneca ever saw the stars she was 12 years old. Up to that point Seneca had accompanied her fathers at their research sites and helped to catalog artifacts and other information, but when she saw the stars for the first time Seneca's exoanthropologic background drove her already active imagination wild. What countless new civilization awaited her around each small pinpoint of light? Seneca was quickly and surely hooked on space exploration forever.

Tragically, at the age of 15, when a charismatic religious leader in the Bajoran community, Suek Harran, staged a take-over and coup of the colony's governing council members Seneca's fathers—and many other colonists—were killed in a violent riot. Seneca was taken in by a local Bajoran StarFleet liaison officer, Jaia Kareese, and was sheltered by her from the now chaotic, violent, and governmentless colonists and followers of Suek. Jaia desperately tried to get Sen off world, but with Suek's followers in control of the colony's only space port and improvised anti-air defenses a peaceful Federation landing was near impossible. Seneca and Jaia fought to survive for three more years in the thralls of the despotic regime before Kareese was finally able to obtain transport.

In that three years Sen and Kareese became very close and Sen learned an important lesson. Kareese taught Seneca not to hate the Bajoran community as a whole for what had happened to her fathers, that idealists didn't always represent the core values of their race's culture. Kareese taught Seneca not to be bitter, but to look forward to the future. That future was StarFleet. As soon as Jaia and Seneca rendezvoused with their StarFleet transport Seneca applied to the Academy and was accepted.

Seneca attended the StarFleet Academy on Earth, her race's home world, in France. While at StarFleet Academy Seneca studied at Marseille's LIGO observatory for her doctoral work as she fought for doctorates in theoretical and applied astrophysics. At the Academy, alongside astrophysics, Seneca specialized in exobiology, xenobiology, subspace mechanics, and transwarp theory. In the summer of 2393 she graduated and was posted to the USS Payne-Gaposchkin. Her most notable mission of service aboard the Payne-Gaposchkin was the survey of the space-time eddies in the Thone system.

After her one year training tour was completed, Seneca was promoted to the rank of ensign and assigned to the sovereign-class starship USS Gorkon where she currently serves as a science officer under the command of Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds.

-Eli was born at a Utopia Planetia medical facility on the northern slopes of Olympus Mons, in Olypianus City on Mars. He was born on star date 237001.18 to Joshua and Elizabeth Burke, Joshua was an employee of the Utopia Planetia shipyard in orbit above Mars. Joshua and Elizabeth had been unable to conceive children and as a last attempt the couple resorted to a new, experimental procedure to induce conception of which Elias was a product. The couple were devout Christians and considered the birth of Elias to be an answer to their prayers for a child, thus they name him Eli (Hebrew: ''Eliyahu'', Jehovah is God).
+Seneca Wilde was born at the Tenebris Colony research facility on the Federation colonial world Amoran IV, near Bajoran space. After her biological parents were killed in a localized natural disaster a pair of Federation anthropologists stationed at the research facility located on the planet adopted Seneca as they're own.

The isolation drew close ties and strong bonds between Seneca and her fathers as they researched ancient ruins of the long dead civilizations of Amoran IV as a family.
-Elizabeth was a passionate astrophysicist and worked aboard an orbital observatory above Deimos. For the first three years of his life Eli lived there with his mother while his father, Joshua, worked at the UP shipyards, but at age 4 Eli and his mother moved to the personnel level at the UP shipyard's hab-facility so that Eli could begin attending school there.
+Amoran IV was a unique world and the civilizations there evolved in unique ways because of it. The Amoran star was situated in the middle of a dense cloud of interstellar dust.

What countless new civilization awaited her around each small pinpoint of light? Seneca was quickly and surely hooked on space exploration forever.
-Eli excelled in all of his classes and at a young age it became obvious the boy had a passion for learning, the school was soon not enough for him. At age 12 Eli began working with his father after school on small projects for Joshua's deck manager; at age 14 Eli was working right along side his father and his father's fellow engineers as a veritable equal with dreams of one day becoming an engineer in StarFleet. At age 17 Eli enrolled at Columbia Mons' Ares University with a specialization in aerospace engineering.
+Tragically, at the age of 15, when a charismatic religious leader in the Bajoran community, Suek Harran, staged a take-over and coup of the colony's governing council members Seneca's fathers—and many other colonists—were killed in a violent riot. Seneca was taken in by a local Bajoran StarFleet liaison officer, Jaia Kareese, and was sheltered by her from the now chaotic, violent, and governmentless colonists and followers of Suek. Jaia desperately tried to get Sen off world, but with Suek's followers in control of the colony's only space port and improvised anti-air defenses a peaceful Federation landing was near impossible. Seneca and Jaia fought to survive for three more years in the thralls of the despotic regime before Kareese was finally able to obtain transport.
-Ares University opened Eli's claustrophobic mindset, raised almost entirely in the cramped quarters of Utopia Planetia space stations, and broadened his once very close horizons. He fell in love for the first time and made friends he thought he never would, particularly with a Ferengi philosophy major named Nebb. His friendship with Nebb revealed whole new philosophical worlds to Eli and soon his already unstable Christianity, inherited from his parents, began to crumble. When confronted by the great wealth of evil in the universe and its seemingly inherent meaninglessness - particularly the evils of the 2388 martian quakes responsible for the deaths of thousands across Mars and the heavy civilian casualties of the Dominion War and its make subsidiary conflicts - Eli revoked his Christianity and declared himself an evangelical atheist. His parents were devastated. They pleaded with their son to reconsider and to speak with academic Christian apologists on Earth, but Eli would not listen.
+In that three years Sen and Kareese became very close and Sen learned an important lesson. Kareese taught Seneca not to hate the Bajoran community as a whole for what had happened to her fathers, that idealists didn't always represent the core values of their race's culture. Kareese taught Seneca not to be bitter, but to look forward to the future. That future was StarFleet. As soon as Jaia and Seneca rendezvoused with their StarFleet transport Seneca applied to the Academy and was accepted.
-In the spring of 2389 Eli graduated from Ares University with plans of joining Utopia Planetia as an assistant supervisor in their core of engineers. However, when his three-year girlfriend broke up with him two weeks after graduation Eli had a shift in priorities. Intent on leaving Mars behind Eli looked back to his dream of joining StarFleet and signed up to attend the Academy in San Fransisco on Earth. He was accepted and departed Mars aboard his own personal interplanetary shuttle.
+Seneca attended the StarFleet Academy on Earth, her race's home world, in France. While at StarFleet Academy Seneca studied at Marseille's LIGO observatory for her doctoral work as she fought for doctorates in theoretical and applied astrophysics. At the Academy, alongside astrophysics, Seneca specialized in exobiology, xenobiology, subspace mechanics, and transwarp theory. In the summer of 2393 she graduated and was posted to the USS ''Payne-Gaposchkin''. Her most notable mission of service aboard the ''Payne-Gaposchkin'' was the survey of the space-time eddies in the Thone system.
-Before leaving Eli had a particularly violent fight with his father over his atheism, one in a series of many violent fights. Aboard the shuttle enroute to Earth Eli had time to think. In a final confrontation with his Christianity Eli prayed for the first time in almost a year, "God, if you are real then prove yourself to me," thinking that this would be a sure-fire way to prove or disprove God's existence once and for all. If God were real He would prove Himself and if He were not then He would not. Much to Eli's dismay, God proved Himself. In a freak accident a golf-ball sized, high-speed asteroid blasted a baseball-sized hole in Eli's forward bulkhead. Eli was able to make his way to the rear compartment and seal it, but to this day Eli will attest that he heard in his mind the clear words: "Ask and ye shall receive, O ye of little faith." The asteroid upon impact had shattered and punctured Eli's abdomen, if he did not receive help quickly he would bleed out and the communications array was in the now vacuum-sealed forward compartment. Miraculously an Andorian freighter received his ship's automated distress call, arrived in time, and tractored him into low earth orbit where Eli was able to receive medical attention.
+After her one year training tour was completed, Seneca was promoted to the rank of ensign and assigned to the sovereign-class starship USS ''Gorkon'' where she currently serves as a science officer under the command of Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds.
-Now on Earth and enrolled in the Academy, Eli was distracted by his fight with his Christianity. Had it really been God? Two weeks after the accident Eli attended a church service, the first time in almost a year, at the First Baptist Church of San Fransisco. Before entering he prayed again, "God, you've shown me your wrath, now I need confirmation of your love."
+{{Heading|Service History|Blue}}
-God answered Eli's prayer. Seemingly by coincidence the pastor's message came out of Matthew 14 - when the apostle Peter walks on water to Jesus, loses sight, fails and falls, cries out to Christ for help, and Jesus rescues him - in which is found these words after Jesus rescues Peter: “O ye of little faith, why did you doubt?” It was all the confirmation Eli needed. He dedicated his life and his service in StarFleet to Christ then and there.
-While at StarFleet Academy Eli served at San Fransisco's First Baptist and studied under Tellarite apologist Aishish at Hebron Seminary. In the spring of 2393 he graduated StarFleet Academy and was posted to the USS ''Centris''-A in the [[Serellan Sector|Serellan sector]] as an engineer in training under [[Brell|Commander Brell]]. His most notable mission of service aboard the ''Centris'' was the assistance of the Bajoran medical mercy ship ''Shabtai''.

 '''Education & Training:'''
-Elias Burke served as a cadet at StarFleet Academy in San Fransisco on Earth from 238909.01 to 239304.18. There he majored in aerospace engineering and theoretical astrophysics. Upon graduation Cadet Burke was posted to the nova-class vessel USS ''Centris''-A for his one-year, mandatory field training where he served primarily in the Serellan sector under the Bolian Commander Brell as an engineer in training. The Cadet's most notable mission of service aboard the ''Centris'' as engineer in training was the assistance of the Bajoran medical mercy ship ''Shabtai''. Cadet Burke served under Commander Brell aboard the ''Centris''-A from 239304.30 to 239409.20.
+Seneca Wilde served as a cadet at StarFleet Academy in Marseille on Earth from 239011.10 to 239306.15. There she majored in theoretical and applied astrophysics and subspace mechanics. Upon graduation Cadet Wilde was posted to the oberth-class science vessel USS ''Payne-Gaposchkin'' for her one-year, mandatory field training where she served primarily in the Geuriel sector under Commander Olivia Martinez as an astrophysicist in training. The Cadet's most notable mission of service aboard the ''Payne-Gaposchkin'' as astrophysicist in training was the survey and catalog of the fourth-dimensional species living within and around the space-time eddies surrounding the host stars of the Thone system. Cadet Wilde served under Commander Martinez aboard the ''Payne-Gaposchkin'' from 239306.15 - 239410.28.
-'''Transfer to the USS Gorkon (NCC-82293):'''
-On 239409.21, at the end of his one-year, mandatory field training, Cadet Elias Burke was promoted to the rank of ensign and assigned to the sovereign-class vessel USS ''Gorkon'' on 239409.26 where he currently serves as an engineer under the command of Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds.
-'''Guardian Angels (239409.16 - 239411.01):'''
-On stardate 239409.16 the ''Gorkon'' was pulled out of her established quantum slipstream by subspace fissures created by high-energy pulsars in the dense Roman Expanse nebula. The forced hard stop was enough to temporarily disable both the ''Gorkon's'' warp core and her quantum slipstream drive, leaving the ship with only minimal impulse power. However, due to an inexplicable power drain the Gorkon soon lost even impulse power and energy levels dropped so low that reignition of the ship's warp core and slipstream drive became impossible. The ship was dead in space and, upon surveying her surroundings, the Gorkon found that she was not alone. Several other ships drifted within the heart of the Roman Expanse, derelict and drained of power. The derelicts were represented by many races and affiliations, a majority Romulan, but one nearby ship was Federation: an Excelsior-class cruiser, the ''Phoenix''.
-Under the command of First Officer [[Trellis Vondaryan]], a shuttlecraft was dispatched to investigate the remains of the ''Phoenix'' while Chief Engineer [[Cory Stoyer]] attempted to reactivate the ''Gorkon's'' warp core by forcing electro-plasma manually through the core's main conduits. Plans of action were soon disrupted however when enigmatic, faceless, shape-shifting entities began phasing aboard the ''Gorkon'' through subspace fissures permeating the ship's inner decks. The faceless subspace entities seemed to be attacking the crew of the ''Gorkon'' at first and defensive strategies were put into action to contain and expel the creatures from the ship. However, when Eli was attacked by one of the creatures he was infected by a tele-nueroligic virus that acted as a form of both communication with the faceless entities and a method of their remote control of Eli's basic brain functions. Soon after Eli's infection Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds was infected by the tele-nuerologic virus and, via their mutual confirmation of one another, the crew of the ''Gorkon'' learned that the subspace entities intended to assist the ''Gorkon'' and her crew in escaping the nebula.
+'''Assignment to the USS Gorkon (NCC-82293):'''
-Aboard the ''Phoenix'', Vondaryan's team discovered the now deceased crew's logs and, upon investigation of them, learned that a dangerous creature lurked within the nebula. As Vondaryan and his team returned to the ''Gorkon'' Eli began replication of a device--the blueprints of which had been implanted into the ship's computer by the subspace entities--and Admiral Reynolds attempted further telepathic communication with the mysterious beings. Upon analysis of the data provided by the entities the crew of the ''Gorkon'' learned the beings referred to themselves as the Seraphim, a metaphorical way of communicating their benevolent intentions. The Seraphim's device was soon replicated and sent into the Expanse, just as Stoyer and his team brought the warp core back online. The device revealed a monstrous, invisible, subspace creature lurking just above the ''Gorkon'', leeching her power. With a modified phaser emitter the ''Gorkon'' was able to break free and escape the creature, but their departure from the nebula was very nearly cut short when, as the ship fled, the creature emitted a powerful electro-plasmatic wave that damaged the ''Gorkon's'' already fragile systems even further. However the ship was able to escape both the beast and its lair. With heavy damages the ''Gorkon'' limped her way back to the [[Tyrellian system]] where repairs were soon underway.
+On 239409.21, at the end of her one-year, mandatory field training, Cadet Seneca Wilde was promoted to the rank of ensign and assigned to the sovereign-class vessel USS ''Gorkon'' on 239410.30 where she currently serves as a science officer under the command of Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds.
