Michael Jellico: Difference between revisions

Michael climbed the enlisted ‘ratings’ with relative quickness until he reached Acting Petty Officer First Class aboard the USS Illustrious. Michael was given the opportunity to serve as the Captain's Yeomen but was ill suited to the role and received an unsatisfactory in his official review leading him to be stripped of his acting rank and moved position. Michael’s demeanor while on duty and off changed dramatically due to what he saw as unfair treatment. During this time Michael was reprimanded for various infractions including, three physical altercations between himself and off duty Marine personnel and being suspected as supplying the ship’s crew with contraband. On the last occasion, five cases of Romulan Ale and a container of Cardassian disruptors were found in a one of the ship's shuttles that was listed as down for repair. While it could not be proven by the Master-at-Arms that these were Michael’s, there was enough circumstantial evidence against him to strip him of his Petty Officer 2nd Class rating and transfer him off of the ship.

After being demoted and wallowing in self pity for almost a year Michael resigned himself to have 'one last go' at resurrecting his star fleet career and gained an his first excellent rating in six year in a performance review after his transfer.  

Michael joined the Victory and was assigned as an NCO in the gamma shift (nightshift) engineering team.  

During his first mission on the ship, the victory was contacted by a crew from the future and warned about an upcoming invasion from a species known as ‘The Hunger.’ The crew of the Victory was able to prevent this invasion but during the final the ship was boarded by highly poisonous bug like creatures under the control of The Hunger. Michael was in engineering when the ship was boarded and during the fight he was bitten in the forearm, fearing certain death after seeing a crewmen die from a similar bite within a minute; Michael preformed an amputation of his arm with a wielding touch. The amputation almost cost him his life but he was saved by the Victory’s marine compliment and medical staff.
