Starfleet Career | |||
---------------- | |||
At around five decades old, Bruce "Lucky" Paulson has led a distinguished career | |||
in Starfleet. He has participated in three extended conflicts, twelve first | |||
contact encounters, and two five year exploratory missions. He has served as a | |||
Chief of the Boat, Commander of two Starfleet garrisons, and Captain of the | |||
Federation's newest Constitution class starship, the USS REPBULIC. | |||
Paulson's list of commendations are respectably extensive. He earned a Bronze | |||
Star and Wounded Lion while repelling boarders during the Aurias Conflict of | |||
2236. He was awarded a second Wounded Lion for actions on Outpost Cestus III | |||
in 2259. | |||
Most notably, he earned a Silver Star in 2258 for selfless actions aboard the | |||
late USS ODYSSEY. During Nero's attack on Vulcan, he survived the initial | |||
assault inside the shuttle hanger's flight control room. Suffering from a | |||
concussion and broken wrist, he re-entered the ODYSSEY's shattered hull four | |||
times to bring wounded back to a shuttle pod in the only remaining | |||
pressurized maintenance bay. His bravery saved twelve other crewmen: the only | |||
survivors of the doomed Vulcan rescue fleet. | |||
Lucky Thirteen | |||
-------------- | |||
The first question many people ask Paulson is why does everyone call him Lucky? | |||
Paulson earned his nickname during his exploits in the Bull Riding ring as a | |||
wreckless youth: specifically that he managed to escape serious injury after | |||
being spectacularly thrown virtually every ride. Ironically, he was the only | |||
man in Texas to last 13 seconds on Stone Grinder, a feat to which songs are | |||
still sung in the bars of Denton. The nickname Lucky, however, has stuck | |||
because of Paulson's unlikely and sometimes macabe association the number | |||
thirteen. | |||
To begin with, Paulson was born on July 13th, 2213. His first assignment took | |||
him to the USS KELVIN on the ship's thirteenth sortie which saw her destruction | |||
at the hand of the renegade Nero in Paulson's 13th month of duty aboard ship. | |||
His quick actions helped save his shuttle, number 13 oddly enough, which was | |||
damaged while escaping the KELVIN. | |||
Years later while assigned as FO to the USS ODYSSEY, he ended up being one of | |||
only 13 survivors from the Federation armada destroyed over Vulcan in Nero's | |||
attack. The USS ODYSSEY, incidentally, was named for the ill fated Apollo 13 | |||
command module from Earth. He graduated 13th in his class at Starfleet Academy. | |||
His first garrison command was Romulan Neutral Zone Outpost 13. His first | |||
starship command, the USS REPUBLIC, has the registry NCC-1371. | |||
What does Captain Paulson think of this parade of coincidences? He freely | |||
admits to struggling with survivor's guilt where his embarrassingly | |||
good luck has spared him when literally billions of others died. He says that | |||
he bears the emotional burden in tribute to those who did not survive the | |||
missions, tragedies, and wars he did. | |||
Family | |||
------ | |||
Despite his many professional accomplishments, he considers his greatest | |||
achievement to be his family. Paulson met his beautiful wife, an ambitious and | |||
bright biochemist named Carla Nell, while aboard the USS ERASMUS during his | |||
security specialist days. She admits she never took much notice of him because | |||
of his enlisted rank until after he rescued her during an ill-fated planetary | |||
survey from a rabble of medieval natives intent of burning her as a demon. | |||
As the story goes, an ion storm prevented them from beaming to safety and thanks | |||
to the Prime Directive a shuttle retrieval could not be risked. So they hid in | |||
an abandoned hut for three days. Paulson impressed Carla with his charming | |||
southern manners, enthusiastic outlook, rugged cooking skills, and surprisingly | |||
educated wit (he had already earned a bachelor's degree by that time). | |||
Carla has supported and whenever possible accompanied Paulson on several tours. | |||
Their twin children, a son and daughter, are aspiring young scientists in their | |||
own right. Paulson and Carla currently reside at STARBASE 6. For the first | |||
year of Paulson's third 5 year mission, Carla will be engaged in the | |||
terraforming project of the Starbase 6 planet. They expect her to join him | |||
later. | |||
