He was assigned to the bridge team, headed by Lieutenant Commander Collins. As they embarked, they had to rapidly replan as they encountered several members of the species entitled 'The People'. Some quick thinking led Keneth to conclude that the weak point on their armor was a strip of black terminals along the sides of their suits. Using this information, the officers subdued the first creature. Unfortunately, they spent too much power in the process, leaving Keneth no choice but to fire on the nearest plasma conduit, ionizing the whole compartment in an explosion of sorts, thus incapacitating the second intruder. | ||
The immediate aftermath of this was a nervous breakdown, unable to handle the emotions of terror and confusion that he'd just received. After being calmed down by Commander Collins, the team carried on to the bridge. Later he would feel quite silly about the way he reacted. As they entered the bridge and fortified their position, a string of repairs led to a new problem cropping up - thermal overload. Quick work by Warrant Office Kingsley averted death by using the heat to blow up a missile instead. | The immediate aftermath of this was a nervous breakdown, unable to handle the emotions of terror and confusion that he'd just received.

As the ''Arrow'' set off towards Starbase 821, Keneth and Ensign Sasaki were assigned to get the warp drive back online and fix the laundry list of issues aboard. Though sleep deprived, he began work, with a quick patch bringing the warp engines back online. But shortly after, Ensign Sasaki noticed a small bug-like device skittering around in engineering. A brief operation by Keneth and two crewmen succeeded in capturing the creatures. | As the ''Arrow'' set off towards Starbase 821, Keneth and Ensign Sasaki were assigned to get the warp drive back online and fix the laundry list of issues aboard.

However, having followed improper procedure, he accidentally exposed the device to the computer core, resulting in it sending random commands to the machine. This led to the ship accelerating rapidly to high warp factors, something unsustainable for the ship's current state. | ||
Rapidly realizing what had happened, Keneth unplugged the device. However this action effectively 'killed' it leaving him feeling great remorse at what had occurred. Though he later admitted that the creature was technically an enemy combatant at that point in time, he maintains that it was his negligence that caused the whole fiasco, from the death of the creature to the near-destruction of the ship from the sudden acceleration. It has made him far more cautious of what he did with alien hardware, especially when the consequences were entirely unknown. | Rapidly realizing what had happened, Keneth unplugged the device.
