-LTJG Jack M. Shepard was Scott`s uncle. Jack Shepard was the stand father figure despite his young age. He didn't have much choice in the matter since the responsibility was thrust-ed upon him by the disappearance of his brother John. Jack cared for him and was there through out his early years. At age nine, Jack left Scott in the care of his grandmother as he left for the marines. Jack kept in contact with Scott after his time with Spec Ops was over. When Jack decided to leave Starfleet to save his friend, Scott was furious. It took time for him to warm up to his uncle once he re-surfaced. After Jack disappeared on Layte, Scott was more than happy to see that his uncle was alive and well, plus with the new addition of Anastasia. Jack promised he wouldn't go on anymore fool-hardy missions. When new that Anastasia died he felt sorrow for his uncle and whished that he met her in person. Shortly after LTJG Shepard broke his promise as he accepted a special assignment. Scott was once again furious at the news his uncle gave him. Scott did regret the nature of his last conversation with his uncle. As he later realized that his uncle did just lose his wife and was leaving a crew that he started to see as family. | -LTJG Jack M. Shepard was Scott`s uncle.

-Operation Blackfoot | |||
*Much of the details of what happened during Operation Blackfoot are still classified. All seemed to be well with the mission until six months later when communication with "Alpha 6" ceased. Scott knew something was wrong since the disappearance of his uncle and made it his goal to find out what was going on. Luck did not prevail in his case and did not get what he wanted until his uncle surfaced. Information would not come until three months later when Jack Shepard physically reported back to SB118 battered and bruised from being in captivity. Jack Shepard was given the rank of LT and in command of three heavy boarding teams and four fighters. This group was a rainbow of Starfleet and Marine personnel, also given the designation "Alpha 6." The team was still out numbered but knew what they had to do. Sending in a major starship would not go unnoticed by anyone and Starfleet wanted to keep this under wraps due to unforeseen consequences. It was an all or nothing all out assault on a base full of thugs and a team of highly skilled veteran marines. ENS Scott Shepard, LT Jack Shepard's nephew, joined the fray even though Jack tried to talk him out of it. Many of the details following are still classified, but it was a hard fought battle with two installations. It took time and the live of brave men to find the second. On the lighter note, Anastasia Shepard was reunited with Jack Shepard, many details of how and why are classified. Due to classified information it is hard to get an accurate account of the casualties involved in operation Blackfoot. What has been declassified was that Capt. Joy's response team was never recovered, all presumed KIA. LT Shepard is the only survivor of the original "Alpha 6", most KIA in the initial ambush; others in captivity. Official records report 74 souls lost due to actions relating to Operation Blackfoot. His experiences in taking part in the operation hardened him. He was asked to stay on "Alpha 6", but declined and asked to be reassigned to a normal security billet. No one questioned him or thought less of him. It was a bitter sweet ending to a hard fought mission. | |||
