In 2389 Dany passed her classes with average marks, mostly due to disagreements over the nature of counseling between herself and her professors. She travelled to Starbase 118 for her cadet cruise and was subsequently assigned to the crew as a counselor on 238911.28. After a brief stay on the Starbase, Dany was recalled to Earth to give testimony against two classmates involved in cheating on exams. After an unpleasant week in the company of her archenemy, an Andorian named Y’shras, Dany returned to Starbase 118 where she hopes to continue to provide support for the crew with her fellow counselor, Ensign Ryoji Chibitsu. | In 2389 Dany passed her classes with average marks, mostly due to disagreements over the nature of counseling between herself and her professors.

==={{n|Chythar|Skyfire}}=== | |||
[[File:Ltjgskyfire.jpg|thumb|left|Chythar Skyfire]] | |||
Born on Earth, raised going to public schools by his father. Calvin did his best to raise the boy after his birth. Captain Skyfire did what she could to raise the boy before she was recalled to negotiate peace on Romulus when Chythar was 12. | |||
As a result of going to public school, Chythar's interest in science became an obsession. He decided many of the hard sciences interested him: xenobiology, linguistics, and chemistry. By the time he was old enough to enter University of Washington at age 18, he focused primarily on chemistry and linguistics. His adaptability at languages was sophisticated enough that he was able to speak fluently in Greek, Chinese, Latin, Russian, and Hebrew. His graduation was a brief family reunion with his mother and father, along with an MD at age 23. During his time at UW, he developed his ciphers for his stress levels and started keeping logs of his adventures in school written in different languages. | |||
Post-graduation, his mother left yet again for more diplomatic work. He spent the next 4 years at Starfleet, working on his science major and two specializations: Xenobiology and Medicine. When he graduated from Starfleet, he has a brief reunion with Captain Skyfire, and it was the last time he sees his father as he leaves the nest to go exploring. The time Chythar spent in Starfleet was met with new challenges, amongst which was making friends who knew him well enough to get a copy of his ciphers. Subconsciously, when Chythar panics he doesn’t know what language the letter is in until he’s told. | |||
In 2389, Chythar Skyfire graduated from Starfleet with a science degree, but due to the requirements of the program realized he had an affinity for medicine. He graduated a science cadet, but upon his posting to Starbase 118/USS Columbia, he was made medical officer. His first day in a new post involved a baptism by fire; untried and untested by a crew whose lives were placed in his hands without him having the faintest idea about their medical histories, their dossiers, or the mission log. He’d barely gotten to the ship when he learned Sickbay had been practically devoured by metal-munching space dragons, and all hell broke loose. | |||
Being his first day, he carried himself with a degree of professionalism mixedwith tension causing a bit of a rocky start with his superior, the Lt JG MacLaren. During the course of the mission, he’d mended the fences he’d broken with her and attempted to get settled in. | |||
==={{n|Katy|Orman}}=== | |||
[[File:Orman new look.jpg|thumb|left|Katy Orman]] | |||
Katy Orman is a warrior at heart. Security is her vocation, because protecting people is her passion. Born to the Orman Group (third generation,) she displayed a great deal of aptitude for the family business, but it was her adopted uncle's influence, perhaps, that led her to leave home to make her own way. | |||
After an ill-fated love affair ended, she enrolled in Starfleet Academy, where she made high grades in most of her classes (with a few dismal exceptions.) | |||
Her original assignment was to Engineering, but to her great relief this lasted only days, and she quickly was moved to her true vocation. She displayed a great deal of dedication and skill in the role, but chafed with her department head a bit--displaying an independence and attitude towards authority that has been something of a hallmark of her career. | |||
She has been Chief of Security on several vessels and on Starbase 118 itself. While on duty she tends to eschew the command centres in favour of her own security office or being out with her teams. Katy spends most of her off-duty hours (when she gets any) with her best friend, but can occasionally be found socialising with the security NCOs, exploring the 118 Commercial Sector by herself, or training her fighting skills on a holodeck. | |||
Katy started 2389 having just recently been reinstated to Starfleet (after an unfortunate incident caused her to lose her clearance for half a year.) The actual start to the year was on shore leave on a resort planet, but almost immediately upon return the base was attacked by a Romulan splinter group called Reikara, and Katy had to discover their agent on-station. | |||
After the safety of the starbase was assured, Katy was soon drawn into an investigation into an abandoned ship which had been attacked by some sort of shadow-creatures. During this traumatic time (the creatures having been unleashed upon the base,) she briefly encountered what appeared to be herself from a different point in time. There was a brief respite, during which she was surprised to find herself promoted, but celebrations were cut short as Katy (and much of the fleet) was drawn into the Klingon attack on Thracian space. | |||
==={{n|Benjamin|Livingston}}=== | |||
[[File:LivingstonAvatar3.jpg|thumb|left|Benjamin Livingston]] | |||
Lieutenant, Junior Grade Benjamin Livingston was born outside the city of Boston, Earth in 2360 to Harold and Jessica Livingston. Growing up, Ben looked up to his father but ended up disappointing him by studying engineering, a field in which Harold had started his career and sought to rise above. His decision to leave engineering for Starfleet was seen as a step up, but it still did not meet Harold’s expectations. Though he maintains contact with his parents, Ben has all but lost touch with his brother John. | |||
Currently, Ben Livingston is Assistant Chief Engineer for Starbase 118 Operations, with particular expertise in power distribution and storage. Livingston began his Starfleet career in 2389 after graduating from Starfleet Academy; prior to enrolling at the Academy, he was a design engineer by profession, developing energy storage devices for Power Storage Solutions. After leaving industry | |||
disillusioned, Livingston sought out Starfleet as a refuge from what he saw as corrupt individuals seeking influence and power at the expense of stakeholders and public interest. | |||
Among his peers, Ben is regarded as a hard working, creative person who seeks to keep busy with work. What little personal time he has is spent on pet projects or staying physically active. In the future, Ben plans to continue learning the engineering systems aboard the Starbase and to conduct development work of his own, to benefit the fleet as a whole. | |||
2389 was an exciting year for Ben Livingston. After graduating from Starfleet Academy (Engineering Major, Security and CommOps Minors), Livingston was unexpected posted as a Science Officer with Starbase 118 Operations. Approaching his role with an engineering background ended up giving him insight into the detection and removal of the “shadows” infesting the station upon his arrival. Following the mission, Livingston was posted as Assistant Chief Engineer for the Starbase. In that capacity, he familiarized himself with the systems and the engineering team prior to heading out to face the Klingon threat aboard Victory; due to Lt. Commander Breeman’s temporary absences, he was the ranking engineering officer for a brief time. Following their return to the Starbase, Livingston was promoted to Lieutenant, Junior Grade. | |||
