====Quentin Collins==== | |||
[[Quentin Collins]], Lieutenant Commander when Keneth first met him, is currently his first officer. The first interaction between the two officers was during the away mission to the ''Arrow'', when he was assigned to the commander's team. Collins has been instrumental to Keneth in stabilizing his entry into Starfleet. | |||
They spoke for the first time when he asked Keneth to find the weakness in the armor of a boarder on board the ''Arrow''. Later, after a traumatizing experience involving a explosion, Collins helped him regain his feet and keep going. That moment of strength has stuck with Keneth to this day and keeps him confident in every situation, including ones where he objectively should not be confident. | |||
====Randal Shayne==== | |||
[[Randal Shayne]], commander when Keneth first met him, is currently his captain. The two had minimal interaction on board the Juneau, but served together briefly on board the ''Arrow'' as they returned to Starbase 821. | |||
During that shore leave, Keneth had a meeting with him in which they discussed his plans and feelings about his Starfleet career. Keneth credits Shayne as having been the first one to actually force him to consider what his future would be. Near the end of that conversation he mentioned that he would like to work toward command and Shayne agreed to support him, contingent on his own effort. | |||

Keneth's first mission went off to an interesting start. He was initially assigned to the USS ''Juneau'', to which he reported right out of the academy. After some introductions, he began work in engineering, helping with efforts to secure the bio-neural gelpacks onboard from damage due to Eichner radiation they were going to encounter. | Keneth's first mission went off to an interesting start.

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.

Soon after arriving at Starbase 821, he had a conversation with Commander Shayne. In it, he talked about his past on Earth, his motivations at the academy and reasoned through how his expectations and desires had changed because of the recent ordeal. He ended up firming up his goals and taking a definitive stance that he wanted to work towards command, though he was still unsure of where the path would take him. Re-enforced by a desire to move on, improve himself and get over his lingering guilt from the death of the arachnid creature, he entered his new permanent posting aboard the ''Arrow'' with greater gusto as the ship moved in to the Alpha Isles preparing to investigate the sudden appearance of millions of distress signals and deal with the implications of such a mystery. | Soon after arriving at Starbase 821, he had a conversation with Commander Shayne.
