*Grandfather | |||
Robert has very little information about his true origins. He spent many years with the belief that he human. His on board equipment, namely a device called a sensor stealth unit, completed the illusion. His adopted parents, who had discovered him and completed his programming, were aware of his true nature and had informed Starfleet at the time he applied to the Academy. The decision was made to allow Robert to remain unaware and simply observe him for signs of a hidden agenda. | |||
He was an active Ensign in the fleet when the Dominion War began. During the war his ship, the [[U.S.S. Freedom-A]], was boarded by the Jem'Hadar and the crew put off on a barren world. While waiting for rescue from the [[U.S.S. Indria]], the crew came under attack. Robert took a hit while defending a friend. The damage exposed several of his android systems and knocked out his sensor stealth system. Today, the only knowledge he has about his true self is that he was constructed some time in the 31st century, then sent back in time to the 24th. He does not know what his purpose is, but will keep his eyes open. | |||
Before and after his discovery, however, he was already creating the next generation of his family. He designed a pair of AIs, a super computer dubbed Beta and a flying disk robot named Delta. After the war, he was transferred to Starfleet R&D. At that time, he was able to construct humanoid bodies for the two of them. Delta underwent this transformation first, renaming herself Alice. Beta renamed himself James. | |||
Today, now Commander Robert Falcon runs a team at Starfleet R&D. He keeps tabs every and any report he can get his hands on, curious if one will give him some idea of his reason for being. "If nothing else, " he says, "I'll wait until my creators come around and ask them." | |||
*Uncle | |||
James started out life as a super computer based AI system. He was Robert's first creation, and as such there were a couple... issues. Even today he has a small glitch in his programming which gives him a short temper and the inability to carry a tune in a bucket. Of all the members of the family James is the most combat capable. He has enhanced versions of Robert's tactical systems paired with a heavier frame. However, he is the only member of the Falcon family to choose against joining Starfleet. | |||
Preferring to be his own boss, James chose the list of a freighter captain. He acquired a Raven-class ship and modified it into a mid-size transport. His ship, the Nova, has been optimized for operation by one person. She has a pair of large cargo bays in the aft portion of the ship, and has five energy weapons on board. Her weapons appear to be old model phase cannons, but have had their inner workings replaced. James calls them WISC Phase Cannons, for "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing". They have the strength of, at a minimum, type five phasers. | |||
When conducting buisness he will go only by his first name. Few know his last name, and those are only James's closest friends. Anyone who knew the name could connect James to his father. While James has no issues with what he is, he prefers not allowing others to know he is an android. James feels that any information others have about him gives him less of an edge. However, he is fierecely loyal to his family, and will stop at nothing to save them if they were in trouble. Not being in Starfleet, he feels he has much more lattitude in his operation. It is not known how far he would go to save his family. | |||
*Mother | |||
Alice had a more active 'childhood' then James. Her early life was spent on Robert's ship. However, due to Beta's misadventures and Robert's early near addiction to technology, she and Beta were removed from the ship and placed in storage on Starbase 118 under threat that if either were ever reactivated both would be dismanteled and destroyed. For more then a year, there was nothing Robert could do. However, as he gained friends and connections around the fleet, his options increased. Beta had to remain on the base, but he was able to smuggle Delta onto a ship commanded by a friend of his. While there, Delta could be active and serve as an assistant to captain and crew. | |||
When Robert was transferred to R&D, he was able to bring both Delta and Beta with him. By then, he had designed and built a shuttle for a new design competition. While the shuttle lost, he was told to retain the prototype. Friends back at HQ meant the shuttle became, essentially, a personal ship. Modifications allowed him to smuggle both of his creations to Earth, where he could build new bodies for them and attempt repairs fo Beta's programming. Alice, as she renamed herself, worked with Robert at R&D for a short time before deciding to join Starfleet herself. While at the Academy, she developed the same urge to create that led Robert to build herself and her brother. She created Rho, and did what she could to ensure Rho's early years went better then her own. Alice spent a brief time in the fleet before tranferring back to Starfleet R&D. | |||
These days, Alice works on her father's R&D team. She's well aware of his searches and she helps where she can. She also keeps tabs with her brother and daughter, making sure the scattered members of the family are all well aware of what's happening. | |||
