Matuga Denebris
- Name: Matuga Denebris.
- Position: First Officer.
- Dutystation: USS Odyssey.
- Rank: Commander.
- What do you think of your dutystation?
The Odyssey is a fine ship. I would prefer for it to be better armed, but the Intrepid class makes up for it in manueverability and speed, which helps in a combat situation.
- Why did you join starfleet?
I joined to help protect people-Starfleet is primarily a military organization, despite its commitment to peace and exploration. Starfleet has given me an organized banner from which to faciliate my aims.
- Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
My parents were killed by the Borg when I was very young, so I was raised by my stepsister and grandparents. I took four years of advanced combat training at the Sun Tzu War Academy in Switzerland, so you can imagine that the combat drills at Starfleet Academy seemed rather tame. After that, I attended Starfleet Academy for four years. I was assigned to the USS
Odyssey, and I started out as Assistant Security/Tactical Chief, but quickly rose up through the ranks due to some officers transferring/being reassigned and some good luck.
- What has been your favorite mission so far?
I can't say it was my favorite, but the most interesting mission was definitely when a rogue artificial intelligence infected the computers at Pandora Station and on the Odyssey while we were docked there, creating many....interesting holograms for us to deal with. Suffice to say, it was something I will never forget, but the Odyssey crew handled it well, and despite being very new and inexperienced the new station crew showed some mettle, particularly their new security chief. Holograms with attitude are not easy to deal with.
- What do you think of your dutystation?
Well its a great job, I get to see the stars and I am apart of the bridge crew. The most action happens on the bridge as its the hive and brain of the ship and I think having so much power at your finger tips is excellent the slightest touch and the vessel your piloting will follow through.
- Why did you join starfleet?
I joined Starfleet as I felt it was the best thing to do, as if you want to be a pilot you've got to start somewhere and why not on some of the biggest and fastest vessels in the galaxy. My ship the U.S.S. Odyssey is one of the best ships in the fleet well I think so anyway she's sleek and very manouverable and when I sit at that helm I become an officer in Starfleet.
- Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
I'm one quarter Vulcan, not by choice but because my mother was one half Vulcan and my father was human. Ive made an interesting career from nothing, being abandoned and raised by humans. Im not a typical Vulcan as I let my emotions run freely but I still know the means and efforts to control them when I need too. My main interest is reading, I have read many books and have a wide collection of literature from around the world. They are all leather covered and believe me they were hard to get, thats one of my many pastimes.
- What has been your favorite mission so far?
Since I joined the crew I've been on great missions each one different from the next, I cant say I have a favourite mission as I have enjoyed them all.
- What do you think of your dutystation?
I've only just been transferred onto the Valkyrie from the Academy, so I have not been able to take it all in yet, the crew seem exciting enough, and I've read their phsycological profiles created by the Chief, and boy are they messed up! And a Prometheus Class Vessel, how much fun is it gonna be?
- Why did you join starfleet?
I joined Starfleet to help others, and further the expanses of Human knowledge, of both self, and the universe at large, and if I can fit it in, to have a bit of fun as well.
- Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
Well, that's a doozy, I was Genetically Modified before I was conceived as a Ferengi haggled my parents into allot of money to undergo a surgery to increase my mental abilities, needless to say, he lied, now all I have form that procedure is shocking green hair and a very good haggling ability. I love helping people, so I guess that's why I joined Starfleet Medical, and then transferred to Counseling after that. And Hey, i even found love at the Academy, so good things do happen.
- What has been your favorite mission so far?
Since I've just transferred here, I can't really comment on that, but I can say that my training missions in the Academy where to die for, literally, and my favorite was a post Borg attack Outpost, we had to get it on it's feet and protect it until reinforcements arrived, with plenty of Borg drones running round, and an alien attack, we sure where prepared to get out into space for real.
Sarin
Name: Sarin
Position: Federation Ambassador to Deep Space Delta One
Dutystation: USS Calhoun / Deep Space Delta One
Rank: Ambassador
Age: 41
Race: Romulan/Vulcan
- What do you think of your dutystation?
I chose to come to the USS Calhoun and thereby chose to resign my commission as First Officer of Pandora Station for a few reasons. The first one being that my wife, Jennifer who was my girlfriend back then, served as Commanding Officer of the Calhoun. I had met her during my time as assistant security/tactical chief on the transwarp vessel, so I was already familiar with the ship. Now, the problem was not about me being on another ship, but more me being in another quadrant! ... Oh wait, I'm drifting from the subject .... of course I like my dutystation, new worlds to discover, new races to meet... It's proven to be quite the challenge with my wife as Commanding Officer and a crazy woman as First Officer.... She's not going to read this interview... right ? .. I hope..
- Why did you join starfleet?
To protect and serve of course, but too be honest.. I can't go into detail about the circumstances because of security reasons... Sorry..
- Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
Sure, I did drift off a bit in one of the previous subjects, so I told you little already. My wife and I are expecting our first born and we're looking forward to joy she will bring. Like I said, I started my Federation life as an Ensign on the USS Calhoun as assistant security/tactical chief.
Promotions happened faster then expected and soon, I found myself sitting in the First Officer's chair on the USS Odyssey. After a brief commission at Pandora Station as FO, I resigned to accept an ambassador position at DSD1... .of course to be alongside my wife.
- What has been your favorite mission so far?
I have to agree with my former colleague Matuga Denebris and say that the AI that took over Pandora Station was the weirdest thing I've seen so far. It was also the mission after which I desided to transfer, not sure why I did that though. I think that maybe a change of scenery was going to make me get over missing Jennifer so much.. guess I was wrong, hey.
- What do you think of your dutystation?
I haven't been here very long, but from what I have seen, most people are... let's say... not very normal. Engineers who'll give me a plasma tourch, when sickbay is all dark, a crewman who escapes from a prison, an ensign who trashes my sickbay, and another crewman, who has lost his memories, and is pointing a phaser at me. Guess it just hasn't been my day.
- Why did you join starfleet?
Well, I wanted to meet other species, (I'm an Andorian) and Starfleet seemed like a good place to do just that. Also, I wanted some action, and I wanted to follow in my mother's footsteps... I wanted to become a doctor.
- Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
Like I said, I'm an Andorian. It seems my skin-colour doesn't match with that of my uniform... I still have to think of something to doabout that. Usually, you can find me in sickbay. But if I'm not there, I like to go to the holodeck, and blow of some steam. Either by targetpractise, or just physical activity.
- What has been your favorite mission so far?
This is my first mission. I really like it so far. Let's just say... there are enough challenges ahead!
- What do you think of your dutystation?
A superior vessel. Easily a match for anything else in the quadrant. Somewhat more emphasis on comfort than realistically needed, however the crew doesn't seem to mind. It's sole fault seems to be it's command structure. We regularly aquire a new captain, which leads one to believe that after any number of hours spent with us, it is preferable to abandon ship.
- Why did you join starfleet?
*loud laugh* I never joined StarFleet. My vast expertise is simply on loan. In pursuing a trio of Borg vessels I encountered the crew. A small mountain of paperwork later, it was decided I would fill our two people's requirements for an exchange officer. Compensation from the empire was yet to be determined.
- Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
No. Sorry. That is classified. I am not at liberty to give out details of my work, and naturally my work is my life. I can tell you however, that I have an abundance of experience with the Borg, as well as the field of nano-engineering as it relates to their study. My wife was the other half of the coin, in studying the biological componets of their species. After her assimilation I left the science community behind in pursuit of retrieving her.
- What has been your favorite mission so far?
Well I had an entertaining trip with a security officer which landed me in the brig. Although that was a different vessel entirely. But favorite, hmm... I believe our encounter with a handful of Q was the peak. Animated food stuffs, forced romances, sudden decompression, and of course finding myself host to a Trill symbiont were among the more interesting highlights. You wouldn't believe how much knowledge that little worm had acculmated over it's lifetime.
Well everybody, these are the characters so far... Thanks everybody who has responded! (Or maybe everybody who will respond! <G>)
