USS NEBULA Crew Biofiles: Difference between revisions

his mother's parents (deceased before Jonathan can remember), a pilgrimage made once a

year.

Jonathan, still not understanding death, wondered why his parents had left him.  His   

paternal grandfather became his guardian.  When he finally understood, he was still shocked

of reading and computers.  This education continued for 5 years under the expert tuteledge

of "gramps"(Dr. Russell Walsh).

At the age of 12 Jonathan's grandfather contracted degenerative neural disease, and in months had  

died.  This shattered Jonathan's beliefs in the world.  For all his experience with it Jonathan  

still could not handle his grief well.  He still felt helpless in the world.

Jonathan's next guardian (His grandfather's youngest brother) was a former officer

in Starfleet and lived on the outskirts of Chicago.  As a charter boat operator on  

Borg had attacked Earth the first time, being one of the few survivors of the Battle

of Wolf 359.   

Jonathan continued his interest in reading literature, collecting old classics including

the works of Asimov, Heinlein, Verne, Milton, and Shakespeare.  As well as beginning some  

training in the martial arts (both armed and unarmed).  He was brought up into a rich  

tradition that was based on a family history of space and sea faring.

At the age of 17 Jonathan submitted his application to Starfleet, but ended up not making

the entrance requirements for that year.  He was disheartened until he saw all the famous

(to make his parents proud, wherever they may be).  The next year he resubmitted his  

application for admittance and passed the exam, so began his Academy career.

At the Academy Jonathan found himself having to deal more and more with people, something

he hadn't done all that much of since his early childhood (he thought that everyone who

dealing with).  Living for four years with people of his own age greatly helped him to

cope, allowing him to try and return to his childhood memories of friends.

During his stay at the Academy Jonathan became more adept at computers, allowing him to  

become one of the best at them in his class.  His success in computers led to better his  

grades in other engineering and scientific classes.  While at the Academy he also gained  

qualification as a pilot (although he hesitates occasionally when behind the controls).

Jonathan eventually chose a curriculum suited to science and engineering, making it his

area of emphasis.  This greatly pleased his great-uncle who had replications of two  

family heirlooms made an old US Navy Cutlass, and a US Navy Saber.  Jonathan received  

these as a graduation gift and is still deciding what to do with his new gifts.
