Vincent Pierce's | When Vincent Pierce first arrived on the Apollo, the crew was wrapping up [[Apollo_Above_and_Beyond|a mission]] on the planet Quatal minor. His only assignment during that time was to assist in the recovery of a crashed shuttle and his actions in doing so, and in successfully integrating with the crew, resulted in a promotion to Lieutenant JG. | ||
The Apollo's [[Apollo_Price_of_Freedom|next mission]] was on the planet Izar, where the crew was taking a break for shore leave. During that time, the senior staff were taken hostage along with a number of other civilians at one of the major hotels. His friend at the time, then-Lieutenant [[Sundassa|Sundassa Faranster]], was next in line in the chain of command. Vincent saw her as a doctor who had insufficient training and capabilities to deal with the situation so he, on numerous occasions disobeyed her orders and tried to undermine her authority. | |||
His actions on Izar completely destroyed any possibility of the two officer's developing and friendship and it also severely damaged his reputation throughout the ship. Most of the crew didn't trust him after that because while his actions could have been excused individually, the sheer amount of things that he did could not be excused. | |||
The only person who retained any faith in the man was his captain, [[Jaxx, Andrus|Andrus Jaxx]]. Jaxx saw a potential in Vincent that no one else saw and rather than punish him with a demotion or a reprimand, he Vincent was promoted to the rank of full Lieutenant. Jaxx's reasoning was simple, if Vincent were demoted than the expectations of him would drop as well, however, with a promotion, the expectations of Vincent would increase considerably and his desire to succeed would hopefully lead him to live up to the potential that Jaxx saw. | |||
