| Tristam Daniel Core was the first of twins, born on stardate 236111.22, one minute before his brother Taywor. His mother, Meredyn Core, died through complications during the boys birth. Over the next eighteen years, Tristam and Taywor would be brought up by their father, Gamighan Core, with the assistance of their community.
| |
|
| |
|
| Tristam is identical to his brother, and as kids, they'd deliberately pretend to be one another, either to swap classes at school for a day, get out of detention (which normally came with some sort of payment in swuit sticks, if not actual money), and Taywor even pretended to be Tristam on a date with the teen's then-girlfriend so Tristam could complete homework (Yanata would then go on to become ''Taywor's'' partner and mother of his child several years later).
| |
|
| |
|
| He focused most of his energy on his schooling. He rarely used his free time for something other than work. Throughout the majority of his schooling, Tristam continued to live with his father until the day he announced that he was accepted in to Starfleet Academy.
| |
|
| |
|
| After coming off of his medical leave, Tristam was posted to [[Deep Space 17]]. After his promotion and a round of drinks at Molly Malone's, he became good friends with [[Bakari, Msafiri|Msafiri Bakari]], the station's Chief of Security.
| |
|
| |
|
| During his time on the station, Tristam was tasked with looking after two cadets (Ukaramesh Blanufic and [[Nova, Vian|Vian Nova]]) on their cadet cruise. He became friends with Blanufic, but became particularly close to Nova when she was assigned to him, despite the continuous clashes the two had. Tristam become close to her on a personal level after a few months, but after sleeping together, he broke it off. It is presumed that the relationship between them didn't end all that well, and Nova resigned from Starfleet after spending almost three months on DS17 with Tristam, citing "personal conflicts". Despite this, Tristam speaks of her with high regard, believing that she is one of the best engineers he'd ever met, but commonly uses his relationship with her as an example of one of the most major mistakes he had made in his life.
| |
|
| |
|
| During his final week on DS17, Tristam was convinced that there was a squeak in the floor of his quarters, causing him to be in an annoyed mood and making it difficult for him when packing to leave. It was only until the last day on the station that he believes it rectified itself.
| |
|
| |
| Shortly after his second mission on the Garuda, Tristam attempted to bring dinner to [[Rahman, Roshanara|Rahman]] after hearing of her rank and clearances being stripped due to her involvement in the Garuda's sabotage. After neglecting to answer the door, Tristam proceeded to break in.

| |

| |
| [[Image:Core-Rahman.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Tristam and Roshanara, 2391.]]
| |
| Tristam met Roshanara in 2387 aboard the {{USS|Pioneer}}. Not much is really known about their relationship prior to the events of 238708.01 (the explosion in the ''Pioneer's'' Main Engineering), other than the fact that the two become good friends, and the possibility that Roshanara may have locked Tristam in his quarters as a joke. The two were reunited aboard the {{USS|Garuda}} after Roshanara requested he be posted there - something of which Tristam was not entirely thrilled about having been transferred to the [[USS Vigilant-A|USS ''Vigilant''-A]] prior to the request going through, and was forced to travel again after only three weeks.
| |
|
| |
| He became more concerned when Roshanara was involved with the sabotage of the ''Garuda'', going so far as to break into her personal and medical records looking for clues as to if she actually assisted willingly. This caused [[Bakari, Msafiri|Msafiri Bakari]] to question Tristam's feelings for Roshanara, suggesting that Tristam "likes" her, prompting the Rodulan to deny it almost immediately. Instead, he used the fact that the last thoughts he'd ever heard from someone else were Roshanara's to explain his attachment to her.
| |
|
| |
| Tristam broke into her quarters (after speaking with Roshanara's doctor) under the belief that she may have been too upset to open the door. After she deliberately scared him, the two got into an argument, spilling out into the corridor as she attempted to escape from him. Finally, she explained to him that she assisted Ross because she was an empathic metamorph, suggesting she had no choice whatsoever but to "willingly" assist him. Despite this, Tristam told her to not once believe she assisted Ross willingly.

| Despite having interacted with him only few times, Tristam's experience with the [[Trill]] soured somewhat when he, Tan, and the rest of their team were left stranded on Bocasa. Confident that Captain Reynolds was responsible for what had happened to them, Tan was quick to tell Tristam otherwise. A few minutes later, Tristam used Tan's tricorder to rig a crude communications device to get back in touch with the Garuda.
| |
|
| |
| Tan was unwittingly transported aboard the Garuda with a mine digging into his thigh. Without hesitation, Tristam immediately beamed the explosive off both Tan and the ship, causing Rahman to become aggressive with the belief that had Tristam left it be, they would have been able to find out where it came from. It is unclear whether Tristam beamed the mine off the ship for Tan's well being, or out of concern for the well being for the entire ship.

| |
|
| |
| Although the two have never really interacted with each other, Tristam was quick to assume Reynolds was behind the sabotage of the Garuda, mainly based on the fact that she was an Intelligence officer, and had joined their away team to Bocasa unannounced. It was only when Reynolds returned from her captivity that Tristam dropped any negative comments against her, though it is presumed he is still distrusting of her.

|
| |
| ===Education===
| |
| Tristam received general schooling until the age of twelve, where he began to focus his subjects more on technology and engineering. He graduated his secondary college with high achievement in his electronics class. He moved on to study Everyday Technologies at Bromivitch University of Rodul, and received a Master of Engineering. It should be noted that he also studied Healthcare and Biotechnology of the 24th century, though it was not necessarily one of his strong points.
| |
|
| |
| Including a majority of his core classes at Starfleet Academy, Tristam excelled in most of his classes in the [[Starfleet Engineering School/Components Engineering|Components Engineering course]], the exception being Weapons Systems. He also received low grades in Impulse Systems, one of only two propulsion classes he took.

| |
|
| |
| After graduating Starfleet Academy, Tristam was placed aboard the [[USS Pioneer]] as an Engineering Officer. He was promoted a year later to Lieutenant JG, and he began attempting to broaden his Engineering knowledge by learning more about the Pioneer's propulsion systems.
| |
|
| |
| During 2387, [[Rahman, Roshanara|Lieutenant Roshanara Rahman]] was assigned to the Pioneer as a Research and Development Engineer, and the two supposedly became friends.
| |
|
| |
| As a Lieutenant JG, the power to Tristam's quarters were cut as a prank played by [[Rahman, Roshanara#Personal Life|an Engineer of whom has not yet confessed]] - locking him in his quarters. In panic, Tristam (with a PADD and a tricorder) used the computer systems in Engineering to draw as much attention to himself as possible, flashing lights, taking over the ships speakers, and changing the language display of the Engineering consoles to Rodulan. He didn't think to just manually open the door.
| |
|
| |
| Seven months after Rahman was posted, an R&D experiment involving her and Tristam supposedly caused multiple explosions in the Pioneer's Engineering department. Tristam was severely injured, losing his natural telepathic abilities and almost his left leg at the same time. He was placed on a medical leave of absence for 11 months to recover.
| |
|
| |
| In mid-2388, Tristam was taken off leave, and requested a transfer into an Operations department. Despite this, he was stationed aboard [[Deep Space 17]] as an Operations Officer, but claims that the work is almost exactly the same as it would have been if he was assigned as an Engineer. Within his first week aboard the station, Tristam was involved in a 'scuffle' regarding misaligned circuits with a superior officer. The matter was resolved quickly and maturely under the watchful eye of the station's Chief of Security, [[Bakari, Msafiri|Lieutenant Msafiri Bakari]]. Three weeks later, Tristam almost blew out an entire deck of the station whilst working with plasma conduits.
| |
|
| |
| Tristam was promoted to full Lieutenant in 2389. During this period, he was asked to look after and mentor two cadets as he worked around the station; Cadets [[Nova, Vian|Vian Nova]] and Ukaramesh Blanufic (it should be noted, however, that Nova left the Academy during her time with Tristam). Blanufic remains in contact with Tristam, and is currently the Assistant Chief Engineer aboard the USS Evantair.
| |
|
| |
| Whilst serving aboard the station, Tristam became involved in a hostage situation. Using his experience aboard the Pioneer, he alerted the station's Chief of Security to the situation by flashing the lights and taking over the speakers, using his tricorder.
| |
|
| |
| His time aboard DS17 began to draw to a close when Tristam was promoted to Lieutenant Commander in late 2390. After three years of working aboard a station, Tristam was transferred to the [[USS Vigilant-A]] as Chief of Operations in 239104, where he was required to take a crash course on the Vigilant's slipstream drive. He was reassigned again after barely three weeks to the [[USS Garuda]] as an Engineer at the request of the Garuda's Chief Engineer.
| |
|
| |
| Tristam, along with the Garuda's [[Ross, Harrison|First Officer]], [[Reynolds, Quinn|Chief of Intelligence]], [[Tan, Alleran|Commander Tan]], [[Kells, Aron|ex-Captain Kells]] and [[DeVeau, Alora|Lieutenant DeVeau]], were assigned to assess a mud dome threatening the [[Eth]] people of Bocasa. Left stranded for an unknown reason on the planet of Pleethion with a jamming field that was blocking their communications (and any communication signal), Tristam was able to rig a sort of remote control for the Galaxy class ship using his communicator, a PADD and two tricorders. He was able to successfully gain the attention of the unsuspecting Garuda by blasting "I'm a little tea pot" through the speakers around the ship and flashing the lights. Having been used for a third time, Tristam plans on calling it "The Tea Pot maneuver" - Tristam later found a source for part of the field in Commander Tan's tricorder.
| |
|
| |
| Commander Rahman was able to successfully bounce back (and create a working communications link) with Tristam via his crudely made engineering concoction. Unfortunately, seconds beforehand, Tristam set foot onto a mine. Having explained to Rahman that beaming up the rest of the away team may set off the mine he was standing on (and beaming engineers down may end up with the same result), he was told he needed to walk Lieutenant DeVeau through disarming the mine. DeVeau found that the mine could actually make the situation with the mud dome much worse, while Kells believed it may assist with the situation. Despite either of these things, and regardless of DeVeau's steady hands, the mine was set off. It was a rush to beam back to the ship (unfortunately with a mine hooked into Commander Tan's leg, of which Tristam was able to successfully transport away, much to Rahman's distaste).
| |
|
| |
| Tristam seems to have some sense of distrust towards the missing Captain Reynolds, believing that, as she is an Intelligence officer, she may have had the means to sabotage the away teams mission. Three jamming signals had been found in the teams tricorders prior to beaming back aboard the Garuda, of which Kells and Tan found to be Cardassian - confirming the worst, Rahman explained that the crew met Reynolds at a Cardassian facility. On top of this, Reynolds also simply "showed up" to join the shuttle team after a disagreement with [[Egan Manno, Cassandra|Captain Egan Manno]], of which gave her access to a shuttle (of which Tristam realized she wouldn't have had, had she stayed aboard the Garuda). She also spent several minutes of "quality time" with Tan, ensuring that if a wrong word was spoken against her, Tan would stick up for her no matter what.
| |
|
| |
| He found a perfectly intact surveillance camera in a Jefferies Tubes junction, of which had access to some of the major security systems, and watched with [[Shryker, Jade|the Garuda's Chief Security/Tactical Officer]] as Rahman deactivated the systems. Because of the suspicious behaviour, and because Rahman may have been a vital part of the sabotage aboard the Garuda, [[T'Leia|Lieutenant T'Leia]] wished to question her. Unable to trust the new Security officer, Tristam sought out Lieutenant Commander Bakari, and the three questioned Rahman in her office, DeVeau also present. Rahman turned herself in.
| |
|
| |
| On stardate 239107.27, [[Egan Manno, Cassandra|Captain Egan Manno]] gave Tristam the position of Acting Chief Engineer. He was also awarded the Diplomacy ribbon on stardate 239108.03 with the rest of his crew for their efforts on Pleethion.
