Alex would have been the model student, but he enjoyed an adventurous social life. He found himself in the superintendent’s office on more than one occasion. He was once threatened to be put on probation on his last visit. After realizing the O’Conner name did not make him invincible, he calmed down on his extra activities. | Alex would have been the model student, but he enjoyed an adventurous social life.

{{Heading|Professional History Before SB-118 Ops|Teal}} | |||
Alex graduated from the SB-118 Academy in 2394. His initial assignment was posted to the USS Veritas as a Medical Officer. Alex was quickly thrown into the fire when he was assigned on an away mission to a heavily damaged ship. The highlight of the mission for Alex was being able to stabilize a female Klingon patient for safe transport to the Veritas’ Sickbay. | |||
Seemingly as Alex began to settle into the crew, he was called away on a temporary duty assignment. Rear Admiral Eich had requested a Doctor assigned as part of his entourage to a peace conference of a war torn independent world. Since Alex was the most junior doctor on Veritas, Alex drew the proverbial short straw. Alex was a little disappointed when no one from the crew said goodbye before he departed, but he was not there long enough to make friends with his crewmates. | |||
The temporary assignment was to be an easy gig. Alex had resources to assist the Starfleet delegation with almost any medical situation that may occur. RADM Eich was not a very pleasant man and was not liked by any of the Starfleet officers apart of his staff. The conference for the most part was uneventful and Eich had no skill at negotiation. | |||
The City where negotiations were held was war worn torn with the local civilian population suffering from all sorts of obvious declining medical conditions. After two weeks of sitting on much needed meds, Alex could not take it anymore and started providing medical aide to the civilian populace. Once Eich got word of Alex’s actions, he was ordered to cease. Alex followed orders at first, but slowly started smuggling medical supplies to local refugee camps and providing some medical services in secret. | |||
The local Intelligence group discovered Alex’s “illegal” actions and turned him into Eich. Eich was initially going to have me dismissed from Starfleet, but knew he would face some backlash from Starfleet Medical Command. Alex was dismissed from Eich’s staff and assigned to the SB118 Medical Academy Hospital to await Court Martial. | |||
Alex’s Father, Capt. Aedan O’Conner, used what ever favors he had left with Starfleet Command officers to keep him from being sent to Court Martial. Alex and his father haven’t spoken since the incident. | |||
Aedan may have saved Alex from Court Martial, but it did not save him from being stuck in limbo at the Academy Hospital. Alex was treated like a senior cadet with officer privileges. Alex’s duties were assisting the professors and managing cadet shifts at the hospital. | |||
Alex spent approximately a year in what he called “medical purgatory” and even considered leaving Starfleet to start a civilian practice. In his heart he wanted to stay in Starfleet and hoped for a Captain to assign him to their command. | |||
