Arlo took the entrance exam for Starfleet Academy shortly after graduating from secondary school and passed on her first attempt. Enrolling as a Science Major she chose to specialise in Astronomy as well as Xenology with a minor in Subspace Mechanics. Many of her professors noted that Arlo was an eager and engaged student but one who struggled with balancing deadlines. In her second year she was cajoled by her roommate in to auditioning for a role in a performance of the Gilbert & Sullivan opera Iolanthe that was put on by the Academy’s Drama Society. She enjoyed the experience so much that she joined the society and it became something of a hobby for her. She graduated 21st in her class- although she barely scraped a pass on her Subspace Mechanics minor.

She graduated 21st in her class- although she barely scraped a pass on her Subspace Mechanics minor. During her final year, she was involved in an accident during a training mission aboard the USS Temecula. She was later questioned as a suspect in the explosion and later discovered that two of her friends framed her as the culprit. When she discovered the truth, she closed herself off from friendships.

When the Gorkon crew were tasked with assessing the safety and viability of a privately owned palaeontological reserve/theme park, Arlo was assigned to assist in evaluating the scientific aspects of the endeavour, which used revolutionary but mysterious cloning technology to create a wide variety of dinosaurs. She was suspicious of the technology and believed that the park's Chief Scientist- Doctor Bertrand Hankins- was less interested in scientific progress and more in the acclaim that would come with his discoveries. Nevertheless, she helped to save the life of an infant dinosaur by recognising that it had an extreme sensitivity to light and arranging for it's pen to be shrouded in darkness. During the tour, a series of malfunctions put everybody's lives in dangers as did an ion storm. After numerous encounters- and escapes- from carnivorous dinsoaurs, the away team plus Doctor Hankins fled from the science complex to the park's weather control centre where they discovered an infestation of GS54- a bioluminescent swarm that were preventing any changes to the asteroid's weather systems. Arlo's devised a backfeed to 'sour' the electromagnetic variance of the EPS system to, which forced GS54 out the electrical systems and into several battieries provided by Doctor Hankins. With the infestation removed, Arlo was able to reboot the weather modification network and dissipate the ion storm. They were rescued a short time later by the USS Triumphant ([[Welcome to Dinosauria (Gorkon)|GORKON: Welcome to Dinosauria]]). For her efforts during the Trueno crisis she received a Silver Lifesaving Ribbon, an Innovation Award, a Good Conduct Ribbon and a promotion to Lieutenant Commander. | When the Gorkon crew were tasked with assessing the safety and viability of a privately owned palaeontological reserve/theme park, Arlo was assigned to assist in evaluating the scientific aspects of the endeavour, which used revolutionary but mysterious cloning technology to create a wide variety of dinosaurs.

She revealed the truth of the events aboard the Tecmecula to Counsellor [[Corliss Fortune]] and then took an extended leave of absence in order to fully process what had happened and the effects that it had upon her. | |||
