Theo Whittaker: Difference between revisions

'''Dig Two Graves''': Theo reported to the Albion's First Officer-putting aside his doubts on the future of his career- after he learned that Haz Arrihman had captured a Romulan warbird and was launching attacks on Klingon border worlds in the hopes of triggering an instellar war between the Klingons and the Romulans. He was assigned to work with [[Valdar Sorna]], [[Ziron Antraydin]] to ready the engineering and science departments. Before much can be done, the Albion was forced to engage Arriham and the ensuing  battle was brutal: the starship Avalon is destroyed almost instantly and Albion suffers extensive damage, which requires Theo take over the engineering repair efforts. He and Antraydin put out an electrical fire in the torpedo control room and then worked with [[Taelon]] to modify torpedoes to ignite the Jenatris Cloud. He oversaw the evacuation of Main Engineering and is the only officer left in the room when the shockwave rips apart the secondary hull. He narrowly escaped with his life and then ejected the core when a core breach begins. He then assisted Captain Taybrim in enabling the vessel's autodestruct system. Theo watched the Albion's destruction from the Klingon battlecruiser commanded by Councillor Dempok, a member of the Klingon High Council who was also investigating the apparent Romulan attacks. Several days later he was overjoyed to discover that Starfleet have assigned the [[USS Columbia]] as a replacement for the Albion. He also announced his intentions to remain in Starfleet, having discovered his lust for life once more.

'''Rendezvous At Raskor''': Aboard the newly assigned Columbia, the crew on travel to Raskor I to confront Commodore Allan Kinney who was implicated in several missions with connections to the Orion Syndicate and who Sal Taybrim believes gave the late starship Albion illegal orders which resulted in that vessel's destruction. En route, it is revealed that the Commodore had been spreading disinformation about the crew of Starbase 118 Operations in order to discredit them- and had referred to Theo a 'hyperactive child'. Arriving at Raskor, Theo was tasked with investigating and proving a link between Kinney and a known Orion Syndicate boss known as Nacien Rixx. On his away team is newly assigned Doctor Phrik, with whom Theo clashed with shortly after meeting him. Theo was given intelligence by an undercover Starfleet Intelligence agent before he is arrested for a bar fight triggered by grieving relatives of the USS Avalon's deceased crewmembers. They are released, after an assassination attempt on the Commodore. Theo returned to the Columbia, just in time to greet Ambassador [[Kalianna Nicholotti]] who has been assigned to Starbase 118. Theo was not present when Commodore Kinney resigned in disgrace.

'''The Edge Of Glory''': Theo was placed in temporary command of Starbase 118 when Captain Taybrim and Major Tatash were called to testify against Renzon, one of the suspects from the previous mission. Three weeks later, he discovers that the station will be hit by an unusually powerful neutronic storm and that its civilian population and most of the Starfleet contingent were going to need to be evacuated. He and the senior staff were also tasked with studying the storm while inside it and to play host to a group of civilian scientists. The evacuation goes off without a hitch and all the remaining crew were inoculated against the radiolytic isotapes inside the storm, Theo included. Three hours after the station is 'swallowed' by the storm, an undamaged Orion dreadnought riding in the storm currents was detected . The crew did not have time to respond before they were boarded by a team of pirates led by [[Chennel]]. She claims the station for herself, but thanks to Lieutenant [[Aitas]]'s quick thinking, the senior staff were beamed from The Hub into an Industrial Refrigerated Unit in the Commercial Sector. Theo split the staff into groups, instructing them to begin foiling Chennel's attempt to control the station. He tells Major [[Ishreth Dal]] and Lieutenant Commander [[Trel'lis]] that they will attempt to buy some time and attempted to negociate with the self styled pirate queen. Using the Commercial's Sector subway station to evade capture, he, Major Ishreth Dal and Lieutenant Commander Trel'lis trio are almost killed when Chennel activates one of the maglev trams and attempts to run them over. The trio headed for Theo's apartment where he plans to use it's holographic communicator, they are foiled again when his apartment is destroyed in a powerful explosion from an artillery shell. Chennel later reveals that she intends to use the capture of the station to assume control of the Orion Syndicate and to use the station's powerful arsenal to destroy any Starfleet vessels that attempt to retake the station. Theo then regrouped with the staff and ordered a counterstrike to retake the station. Chennel was defeated after a brief battle in The Hub and she was killed by Tatash after attempting to murder him.
