Salak/Professional History: Difference between revisions

Salak's first posting was as an Engineering Officer aboard the Steamrunner-Wolverine Class USS Wallace. He joined the crew on Stardate 238110.28, with Lt.Cmdr Stirling and Lt.Rumanov as his Superiors in the Engineering department. His first mission on board involved an apparent encounter with a Dyson Sphere.

Within 5 months of joining the USS Wallace, Ensign Salak was the acting Chief Engineer and the vessel found itself answering a distress call from the FTS P'Kothla. Not all members of the department were happy to serve under Salak, as was shown most dramatically by [[Henderson, Marcus|Marcus Henderson]] who attempted to destroy the P'Kothla. After escaping from the Brig soon after, he went on to destroy Salaks Quarters on the Wallace and caused major damage to surrounding sections.

The P'Kothla was destroyed due to a combination of a Warp Core Breach, SIF failure and Sabotage. However, the mission resulted in Salaks promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade; Commander Kare'en citing a "calm head in extreme circumstances".

With the bombing of his quarters fresh in history and his father asking for assistance on Andor, Salak started his time as a Lieutenant Junior Grade with time at the Vulcan Embassy on Andor. He returned to Deep Space 17 on 238208.20, and was officially granted the position of Chief Engineer at a mission briefing on Stardate 238208.30.

After the ensuing mission, the crew gathered for the annual Awards Ceremony, at which Salak was awarded the TOSMA1. In 238303, Scientists analysing Eratis warned that Deep Space 17 was in danger from the star, which showed signs of instability.
