Because the Ba’Ku decided to remove themselves from advanced technology, Hal’s decision to join Starfleet was not an easy one. It took him a long time to convince his parents to let him go, and he hasn’t communicated with them since. While Hal’s brother was more supportive, even he was somewhat resentful of Hal leaving. | Because the Ba’Ku decided to remove themselves from advanced technology, Hal’s decision to join Starfleet was not an easy one.

Five years later he graduated and was assigned to the ''USS Blackwell'' immediately before its humanitarian aid assignment to [[Arndall]]. Hal was promoted to Lieutenant JG while serving aboard the ''Blackwell''. Then he served for a short time aboard the USS ''Columbia'' before being transferred to the USS ''Eagle'' where he eventually received promotions to Lieutenant and later Lieutenant Commander. This final promotion included an assignment as Chief Medical Officer. This was short lived. Early in the next mission, Hal sustained considerable injury and became comatose. When he woke up three months later, he had lost a great deal of his physical faculties. He was returned to Ba'ku where the metaphasic radiation of its rings as well as physical therapy and synaptic repair treatments helped him regain control of his body. Physically weakened from months of atrophy, he later traveled to the Par'tha Expanse where he took a position as an occupational therapist aboard the ''USS Atlantis''. | ||

Hal has always been fascinated by the stars. When he was a child he would always stay up late and watch the stars, wondering what was up there, what they might look like up close. He relishes challenge but struggles when uncertain. Always in tune with nature, Hal isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. He is a thinker who is greatly concerned with people's motivations. He considers his chosen field of psychology more an art than science and is generally disinterested in science. His understanding of psychology does little to help him with his own insecurities. Hal is highly sympathetic and his approach to counseling is unorthodox as he sometimes allows himself to become emotionally invested in his patients. | Hal has always been fascinated by the stars.

Hal is not one for levity in serious situations. His sense of humor is dry and is not often amused at "sophomoric" pranks and jibes. He does not consciously consider himself to be superior to less serious people but can sometimes come off as sounding if he does. He takes himself very seriously, which causes him to take criticism to heart. Hal is always hard on himself. Anything less than excellence threatens Hal's confidence. Throughout his career he has become more assertive and less patient with those he finds arrogant or uncooperative. | Hal is not one for levity in serious situations.

|BLURB= Hal met Kayla shortly after transferring to the ''Eagle'' and was immediately impressed by her energy and excitement. After a few months of working together, Kayla asked Hal to have a drink with her at a Mexican style Cantina where Kayla taught Hal how to dance. While he had been impressed by her in a professional sense, getting to know Kayla in a nonprofessional setting exposed Hal to feelings of attraction to her as well. Thanks to the tension salsa dancing can create and the ambiguity of her kiss on his cheek, he remains uncertain of how she sees him and is hesitant to address the subject. | |BLURB= Hal met Kayla shortly after transferring to the ''Eagle'' and was immediately impressed by her energy and excitement.
