Daniel Wood: Difference between revisions

After his leaving of school he took a six month break to visit Qo'noS, and to support his friend Artok upon his joining of the Klingon Defense Force. After this he submitted his papers for the academy and gained entrance.

Daniel intially found it difficult to adapt to life in Starfleet and was rapidly falling behind in his classes.  After a meeting with the Commandant he was ordered to seek council, to see whether this would continue or not.  Lt.Cmdr Terri Farquhar requested Daniel to be placed inder her care, to this day it is not clear why. Daniel stayed at a steady pace but was still behind the rest of his classmates. Daniel barley passed his first year.

Daniel continued to see Lt.Cmdr Farquhar and between them managed to solve his problems.  Daniel worked extra hard to catch up with his class mates and sacrificed many pleasures to do so. After many months of physical training aswell as mental training Daniel sat his exams and passed with good grades. This not only boosted his confidence but what Daniel was about to achieve would boost the instucters and the Commandants confidence in Daniel.

Daniel decided it was time to end his sessions with Lt.Cmdr Farquhar having sought refugee with his class mates discussing issues.  His classmates now confided in Daniel more than ever, and unbeknown to them, both the Commandant and Lt.Cmdr Farquhar noticed his extreme ability to deal with people and situations. Daniel was approached speratly on numerous occasions asking him to swap course from Security to Counseling, all times he refused. Daniel's confidence had grown so much that he was now questioning instructers and there theory's something he knew they didn't like and sometimes he knew it was futile but he got results with some of his reasoning.

Daniels final year was probably his best after his continued success in class and top marks. He prepared himself mentally for the Kobayashi Maru and Psyhc Test. Daniel aslo proved highly suited to the role of a Security Officer having gained top marks in his Command test. His teacher Lt.Cmdr Sidney Riley was later to become his first Officer. After succesfully completing all three tests Daniel proudly accpeted his graduation and subsequent promotion to Ensign. In attendance of his graduation was Lt.Cmdr Farquhar, who supported Daniel through his Academy Days.  

Daniel recieved a promotion after graduating from the Academy. Daniel's first vessel was the Prometheus Class vessel, USS Independence-A, under the command of Rear Admiral Anassasi. Daniel had an intresting first mission that took the Independence on a rescue mission. Facts on this mission are sketchy due to the Starfleet Division of Temporal Anomolies classifying the mission details. How ever something Daniel did on this mission earned him the respect of his crew and Daniel recieved a promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade on Stardate 238408.07.

The celbration party turned into a somewhat diaster, causing a holosuite to turn hostile threatening the life of all senior staff aboard the Independence. All crew members were saved and a new lifeform encountered.
