It was until 2398 that Connor never had to deal with doubt, grief or pain in his life. During this year, his sister succumbed to a rare disease that could not be treated. This set Connor's world on fire and gave him a deep sense of insecurity. During the coming year, he had to fight through the pain and try to stay on his track while challenging a lot of his own decisions and his ability to cope with challenges. Shortly after, he got his orders to get to Starbase 118 to finish his academy training. While this was once what he strived for, the separation from his family made it even harder on him. He, however, tries to keep his insides sealed and measures himself by the same standards he did before the incident. | It was until 2398 that Connor never had to deal with doubt, grief or pain in his life.

==== USS Arrow ==== | ==== USS Arrow - Junior Officer ==== | ||
Arriving on the Arrow as a freshly baked Ensign, Connor was intimidated by the Starfleet's "real life". Shaped by his sister's death, his problem-solving thoughts are always accompanied by a fear of failure and loss that dominates his thoughts. On his first mission, he got to know Ayemet. With her edgy wit, she was able to get him through the away mission on a Sheliak vessel, and Connor was able to grow from that. | |||
His fears and self-doubt improved over the years. While he has not lost it completely, and a certain respect for possible outcomes still keeps him on his toes, he has more and more learned to live with the challenging parts of his mind. Award celebrations and promotions play a pivotal role in Connor's feeling of self-worth from now on, and he enjoys every single one of these ceremonies. | |||
After a mission to a Sheliak penal colony ("When History Comes Calling"), Connor was injured in a firefight. The engineer did not at all agree with Captain Shayne's assessment of an acceptable risk, which led to a fight in the aftermath of the mission. Shayne taught him a lot about command during their fight, and Connor got to appreciate him even more when he admitted to his mistakes. This fight was the foundation of Connor's aspiration to become chief engineer. | |||
==== USS Arrow - Chief Engineer ==== | |||
After his promotion to full Lieutenant, he took over the duty post of Chief Engineer after being Acting Chief Engineer for over a year. During this time, his colleague Nolen Hobart grew to become one of his closest friends, having the right words for Connor's doubtful mind almost all the time. | |||
Since his first mission, Connor had grown closer and closer to Ayemet. While he initially just enjoyed her presence, he quickly developed a romantic fondness for her. While they talked a lot about their feelings for each other, Ayemet's difficulty in committing to the relationship always kept it casual until she plunged in and asked Connor to get married. Connor accepted the proposal without hesitation. Since then, they've grown even closer, and their relationship entered a new era - with its own share of challenges.{{Heading|Missions|Gold}} | |||
