The rest of Dave’s teenaged youth was inheriting an older sister in many ways. While Dave and Deborra didn’t see as much of each other, the relative ages (13 and 16) made for sibling bond. He introduced her to sports related activites and she introduced laughter. They refer to themselves as brother and sister, even though technically they’re not related to each other. All of which would be put to the test a couple years later when Deborra turned 18 in June 2367. Fifteen at the time, and only from the forging of their sibling relationship, Dave knew enough to know they needed to remove Deborra away during her coming-of-age. He suggested the caverns of Mars, where both he and Deborra disappeared for several days. Neither Dave or Deborra have talked about it at length, as the incident in question they didn't know was a paradox that David would not know until his fortieth year. Several marked changes to Dave’s personally emerged when they returned. Gone was the laughing, good-natured boy of youth. In place, a more serious, focused teenager in reserve, and unknowningly, had a limited telepathic ability blocked. | The rest of Dave’s teenaged youth was inheriting an older sister in many ways.

Over the course of the next four years, between 2370 and 2374, Dave’s life centered around civilian trade that took him to several systems throughout the Alpha Quadrant, gaining first hand experience on the frontlines. A full and complete history is hard to come by, given like serving aboard a Federation starship, the Skiptrace’s first four years are myriad trader missions. A major change came around March/April 2374, when the crew of the Skiptrace met [[Blade, Michael Sargon|Gersh Nathan]], who arranged to buy the ship off Mov’na. The crew of traders, firmly under Nathan’s command, noticed a subtle shift in the trade runs, which began to include missions of mercy, and occasionally, running medical supplies among other non-profit missions. Dave found the change interesting. The runs became longer, a bit more dangerous at times, and occasionally skirting around blockades to deliver some badly needed food and medical supply. | ||
He served four more years on the Skiptrace before a particular trade goods mission to Ferengar put Dave in the crosshairs of a [[ma:Ferengi|Ferengi]] trader named Tvatec. At the time, the initial meeting dealt with talks establishing a courier route between Tvatec’s ship and the possibility of including Mars (Tvatec, being well aware Dave was the son of the JTSC founder). Dave inadvertantly broke one of the rules of engagement and Tvatec utilized the Ferengi Government to issue an arrest warrant for breaking Trade Law. Dave had no choice but to agree to a bondsmanship to work off the debt. | He served four more years on the Skiptrace before a particular trade goods mission to Ferengar put Dave in the crosshairs of a [[ma:Ferengi|Ferengi]] trader named Tvatec.

Taking command of the Independence, Dave sent the crew to close the singularity on their way out, cruising back for the Eratis System and DS17. Along the way, they were briefly sidetracked with orders to pick up and escort an Admiral with them back to the starbase, unknowingly also housing a serial killer among their midst. It was the crew's finest moment. | Taking command of the Independence, Dave sent the crew to close the singularity on their way out, cruising back for the Eratis System and DS17.

After that, David was reassigned for a short duration to command the [[USS Daedalus]] on what was believed to be a joint StarBase118 and Ithassa Region Intelligence Operation in the hunt for the missing JTSC-03 housing a working coaxial drive for space fold flight. While the hunt yeilded only stranger clues, David was recalled back to the Independence where eventually StarFleet reactived his status as First Officer. It was a bad year to return to command. A coordinated strike lead by a warrior race called [[Ixvapyans]] nearly deciminated DS17 and attemped to take out the combined Ithassa Region Taskforce. The Fleet survived, but the inheritor of the Phoenix Legacy, the [[USS Phoenix-C]] was stolen. Originally ordered to take the Indepedence after the Phoenix, David returned to grab Captain Idril Mar before the Independence crew steered nearly all of the explored Region through the Igloo Cluster to Bull's Run and beyond back to Odyssey Station before the caught up to the stolen Phoenix and the Ixvapyans. | After that, David was reassigned for a short duration to command the [[USS Daedalus]] on what was believed to be a joint StarBase118 and Ithassa Region Intelligence Operation in the hunt for the missing JTSC-03 housing a working coaxial drive for space fold flight.

David has lived through war, but nothing like the carnage left in the wake of the Ixvapyans. Facing their Warlord, David was forced to return to his tactical/security training that ended with Hadrian's death in blade comabat. The event shattered his notions of changing face of gray, but in many more ways than he's currently aware of as what might be described as the soul of Warlord begins integrating itself into David's own soul. | David has lived through war, but nothing like the carnage left in the wake of the Ixvapyans.
