*Enrolling in Starfleet Academy in 2259 and graduating in 2263, Whale was posted aboard the [[USS Ackerman]]. By 2266 Whale had attained the rank of Lieutenant and served the Ackerman's chief of security.  During his second year at the Academy, Whale met a fellow cadet a year ahead named [[Gianna Dacosta]].  The two became quite close over the years, eventually becoming romantically involved.  Dacosta and Whale were still linked romantically at the time of the [[Ackerman Event]].

'''''Excerpt from first sim:'''''
    Back in his younger days -- his first stint at Starfleet Academy -- Whale had been a bit of a womanizer. He was
fond of telling friends that he didn't have a steady girlfriend, but he had three or four unsteady ones. Not
always accurate, but always funny to his buddies.  Gianna Dacosta had been two years older than Whale and a year
ahead at the Academy the first time he'd hit on her. He had been thoroughly unsuccessful and it was only that she
rejected him with a good-natured smile that prevented it from being a complete crash and burn. She'd simply told
him that she was too good to be just another notch on someone's bed post.
    So he'd spent the next three and a half years trying to convince her that he was worthy of her company.
    When the Ackerman popped out in the 24th Century, Gianna was the first person Whale thought about. But he still
hadn't been able to bring himself to look up her personnel record. She'd be dead now, he darkly reminded himself.
That he could accept -- everyone he had known in his old life was dead, so he was okay with Gianna being dead,
too. Well, maybe not "okay," but certainly resigned to it.  What he wasn't sure he was prepared for was to look
into her file and find that Gianna had married. That some other guy had been able to spend his life with her.
Maybe had kids. According to the universe, Whale may have been lost with the USS Ackerman for one hundred and ten
years, but to him... to him he'd had dinner with Gianna a week before the Ackerman's disappearance. He'd had
dinner with her, then a week later he stepped into the Ackerman's transporter to beam over to a freighter in
distress... then woken up in a sickbay where they told him it was over a hundred years later.


*In 2269, while responding to a distress call from a civilian freighter, the [[USS Ackerman]] was lost with all hands after an encounter with a spatial anomaly.  This event is frequently referred to as the [[Ackerman Event]].
