Michael Jellico: Difference between revisions

*He has a tendency to flex the biosynthetic fingers of his left hand, an early physiotherapy exercise, when he is thinking about something that has his whole attention.  

*Has a tendency to be over critical of himself and situations, which he will often shroud in sardonic humour.

*He struggles with complex motor function that requires the use of his left hand, this is due to nerve damage around the point of his amputation. Michael’s biosynthetic arm works by receiving impulses from the nerves in the remaining but of his arm but some of these were badly damaged during his amputation. He hides this very successfully in everyday life, but the limitations manifest it infuriates him easily.   

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  found in a one of the ship's shuttles that was listed as down for repair. While it could not be proven by the senoir staff that these were Michael’s, it could be proven that Michael had been recently fighting and there was enough circumstantial evidence against him to strip him of his Petty Officer 2nd Class rating and transfer him off of the ship.

During his time as Gunner’s Mate Michael often took the tactical consol while the senior officers were on stand down or on away missions. During one such away mission, the Victory was surprised attacked. With entire senior staff on an away mission and much of the Victory exposed to vacuum, Michael was battle field promoted to Petty Officer 1st Class by the Acting CO Lieutenant J.G Shedet so that he could take command of the remaining engineering section and begin repairing the ship. While that role was only temporary his promotion was not revoked when the senior staff returned.   

Michael was reassigned to the USS Darwin-A on Star Date 239202.24 with the ship being relaunched under the Command of Commander [[Renos]] in response to the events surrounding the [[Prometheus Incident]]. Due to the rapid nature that the crew was assembled, Michael was assigned to the ship as a tactical and security officer dispite his PO1 rating and his engineering background due to the fact that he had continued his tactical course studies in his private time. It was made clear to Micheal that continue in the role that should belong to an officer that he would be expected to continue his studies until such time that he was quilified to take the Ensign's Exam.  

** '''Below is the attached report of Doctor Rangi Summers - Lieutenant Junior Grade Beta Shift Medical Officer, USS Victory.''' Michael Jellico was operated on by Doctor Talia Kaji and Head Nurse Sarah Red Elk approximately two hours after the amputation, the time delay was due to the fact that the battle in Engineering continued after Michael's injury and the ship's Marines and security team were not able to retrieve the wounded until all of the creatures were killed. Michael was able to survive that time due to Cauterizing effect of the instrument used, a wielding touch. The field amputation was done by Mr. Jellico on himself after seeing a ship mate dissolve from a corrosive venom, we are still studying this venom and its effect at the time of this report. Aside from a fever and some hallucinations due an aggressive bacterial infection the patient is in good health and is expected to make a full recovery, minus the missing limb. Unfortunately the amputation caused a great deal of damage the surviving remnants of the arm, most troubling is the damage inflicted to the nerves of the arm - side note, amputation was roughly twelve centimeters below the left elbow. - It's possible that Petty Officer Jellico will have to accept a cruder prosthetic due to the damage that the surviving nerves sufferedm, they may be too badly damaged to interact with a biosynthetic replacement.
