B. Background Summary | |||
-------------------- | |||
DISCOVERY | |||
--------- | |||
Before Wraith was 14 he'd lived a harder life than most people ever | |||
lead. Although the details are very sketchy, it is believed that | |||
Wraith existed on his own since he was four years old. His parents had | |||
been part of the Terra forming team involved in the Lupin colony, | |||
Sirius. | |||
For reasons which to this day are still unknown, the colony failed and | |||
all the colonists with the exception of Wraith perished. The Lupin | |||
colony had been a personally backed venture by the people who became the | |||
colonists. They banded together to buy a old freighter (the SARA), | |||
some terraforming equipment and enough food and supplies to last them | |||
four years while they started to cultivate the land. They set off for | |||
Sirius in 2232 two years before Wraith's suspected birth. As it was a | |||
private venture, Starfleet had no real say in the colony. Hence it was | |||
not until 2248 that the first Starfleet vessel, L'ORIENT, paid a visit. | |||
Captain Goodyer had only recently taken the centre seat on L'ORIENT | |||
and he and his crew were only 3 months into a 5 year mission of deep | |||
exploration when they came to Sirius. Goodyer had received | |||
instructions from Starfleet to 'look in' on the Lupin colony and see | |||
how the colony had come along. What he found was that it had never | |||
took off. | |||
The first away team found the ruins of a small settlement on the | |||
southern continent. Estimates indicated that it had been empty for 5 to | |||
7 years. Shrubs and vines covered the walls and floors. No signs of life | |||
were found, but there was evidence that someone or something was | |||
visiting the site. Just outside on a low hill the team found what | |||
appeared to be a graveyard. SARA had left Earth in 2237 with 87 | |||
colonists, in the graveyard were 91 graves. So all colonists were | |||
accounted for, and some new additions too. The question was, who had | |||
buried the last colonists? Whomever it was obviously still lived nearby | |||
as the graves had all been kept tidy and a couple of graves had received | |||
extra attention with what looked like offerings laid about them. A | |||
small away team stayed planet side and continued to study the site. | |||
When they woke in the morning they found that various tricorders, food | |||
packs and even clothing had been ransacked from their tents while they | |||
slept feet away. | |||
With a now, apparently bigger mystery on the cards, Goodyer took a | |||
away team down and began a immediate search of the surrounding | |||
countryside. He led a three day fruitless search. Every night the | |||
team pitched camp and sentries were set. Still, every morning more | |||
equipment went missing. Stories of the 'Wraith' began to circulate | |||
amongst the crew much to Goodyers chagrin: stories of a ghostly figure | |||
who could sneak amongst the living and steal items at its will. | |||
Unwilling to believe in such a thing, Goodyer hatched a plan to catch | |||
this "wraith". He and his team dotted the colony site and surrounding | |||
area with a complex system of hidden sensors designed to detect and | |||
track movement around the site. The trap set, Goodyer and his team | |||
returned to L'ORIENT and played a waiting game. | |||
Later that same night Goodyer got his answers. They tracked a human | |||
figure enter from the SW of the site. The pattern of footprints around | |||
the site showed how it entered cautiously, always doubling back, | |||
cutting it's own route to ensure nothing followed it. It checked the | |||
ruins before continuing to the graveyard where it stayed for a hour. | |||
Then as it was heading back towards the SW. Goodyer acted fast. Running | |||
to the transporter room he had himself beamed directly to the surface | |||
only moments after the 'Wraith' had left the sensor net. | |||
As he materialised on the surface, he saw, no more than 100 yards in | |||
front of him a teenage male dressed in ill fitting clothes running | |||
away to the SW. He gave chase. The 'Wraith' was oblivious to being | |||
followed. They ran for what Goodyer estimated to be a good 6 miles | |||
before the 'Wraith' slowed and entered a valley cut deep into the | |||
surface. Pulling his tricorder, Goodyer quickly scanned the valley and | |||
ascertained that the route the 'Wraith' had taken was the only way | |||
in. He also noted that the 'Wraith' did not show on his sensors: | |||
another mystery. He made his way back towards the colony before being | |||
beamed back on board L'ORIENT. | |||
The next morning, Goodyer and a hand picked away team entered the | |||
valley. It was time to catch themselves a ghost. On reaching the valley | |||
floor they found more than they had bargained for. They found the old | |||
freighter SARA. | |||
Goodyer and his team cautiously entered the aging freighter. They | |||
were dumbfounded, the SARA was still fully functioning. All doors, | |||
computers, and monitors still worked. All the surfaces were clean and | |||
further exploration of the ship found a recently slept in bed with | |||
faded pictures of the colonists stuck onto the walls. After checking | |||
the bridge the crew made their way to the engineering deck and there | |||
in the glow of a fully functioning warp core they found the 'Wraith'. | |||
Scared, confused, the young 'Wraith' froze in panic. Goodyer used the | |||
opportunity to speak with boy, but with no one to speak to for ten | |||
years the 'Wraith' was only able to use hand gestures and point. After | |||
much gesturing and a well placed smile here and there, Goodyer gained | |||
the trust of the young 'Wraith' who then allowed himself to be scanned | |||
by the Dr, after he turned his bio dampener off! | |||
Goodyer asked the 'Wraith' where he got such a item and he thumped his | |||
chest proudly, he then threw his arms open wide and in that one | |||
gesture Goodyer knew that this young boy hand single handedly kept the | |||
SARA running. It then dawned on Goodyer that the boy must read even if | |||
he couldn't speak the words, otherwise he wouldn't be able to | |||
interface with the computers, and sure enough he could. Slowly | |||
the away team began to form a picture of how a young boy at the age of | |||
four years old was left to fend for himself when all the colonists | |||
were mysteriously wiped out and how he gained an amazing talent for | |||
engineering and managed to survive to this day. | |||
Goodyer returned to the L'ORIENT with his team and a young boy who was | |||
quickly given the name Wraith by the crew. Goodyer informed Starfleet | |||
of his findings in the Lupin colony and informed them of his intention | |||
to take Wraith with him and have the senior officers school him. It | |||
was approved, and so began Wraiths new life amongst his own aboard the | |||
L'ORIENT. | |||
L'ORIENT | |||
-------- | |||
On board his new home Wraith struggled at first to settle. Never being | |||
amongst people, he found it difficult to be in a room with more than a | |||
few people. The language problem left him at a disadvantage to start | |||
with too, but within 3 months he could get by and it was then Wraith | |||
blossomed as a human being. | |||
Regular schooling had revealed him to be a very intelligent young man. | |||
In the skills of engineering, Captain Goodyer reckoned that no one | |||
could touch him, even his Chief engineer. He spent most of his time in | |||
engineering, talking to the Chief, making repairs, and doing lots of | |||
tinkering. He had a magic touch which helped the L'ORIENT out of many | |||
a scrape in the five years he was on board. | |||
So when the L'ORIENT returned to Earth after her long mission, Wraith | |||
found himself uneasy as to his future. A DNA scan had given him his | |||
parents names, and he had taken his fathers surname as his own and so | |||
in 2253 Wraith Storm returned to the land of his ancestors. | |||
ON EARTH | |||
-------- | |||
In the three years on board the L'ORIENT, Wraith and Captain Goodyer | |||
had become very close and a father and son relationship had delevoped | |||
between the two. So on returning to Earth, Wraith lived with the | |||
Goodyers on the outskirts of York, England. Captain Goodyer had no | |||
sons of his own, but he did have a daughter, Vivien Goodyer. | |||
Wraith had had little contact with the female sex and never anyone who | |||
was his own age. But an attraction soon found itself between the pair | |||
and this later led to a full blown romance. Wraith stayed at the | |||
Goodyers for four months before deciding to join Starfleet officially | |||
and going to the academy in San Francisco. He was blessed by having | |||
the senior staff of the L'ORIENT vouch for him to the academy | |||
hierarchy as he had no recognized qualifications. He was duely | |||
accepted. | |||
AT THE ACADEMY | |||
-------------- | |||
Wraith completed the Academy in three years instead of the usual four. | |||
He was helped in no small part by living on the L'ORIENT for three | |||
years and that in his field of engineering no one could touch him. | |||
He excelled at his schooling coming 2nd in class and receiving honours | |||
for his Engineering work. He once again found it difficult to interact | |||
properly and so kept to his own company most of the time except if | |||
required to join in. Although he came 2nd, it was noted he would of | |||
probably came first if he had not argued with his teachers so much. | |||
It was noted on his official record that if he thought he was right, | |||
Wraith would argue until he was blue in the face, and if the teacher | |||
still disagreed he would go out to prove himself right. This led to a | |||
number of small reprimands throughout his time at the academy. | |||
IN STARFLEET | |||
------------ | |||
Upon graduation, Wraith served his cadet cruise as a Ensign on the | |||
aging frigate UTOPIA, as a engineering officer. He once again showed | |||
himself to be a able officer and earned himself a sterling report from | |||
the Captain. He was promoted to Lt.jg and reported as assistant Chief | |||
Engineer aboard the CHEROKEE, a ship on patrol in the neutral zone. | |||
During his year on board the CHEROKEE he was arrested for striking a | |||
superior officer namely the XO. | |||
The incident arose when the first officer came storming into | |||
engineering demanding more power from the warp core to the nacelles. | |||
It was Wraiths shift and he was in charge and he politely told the XO | |||
that the CHEROKEES engine were running at peak efficiency, having been | |||
calibrated by Wraith himself. Not satisfied the XO started to | |||
re-calibrate the engines right then, Wraith watched emotionless as | |||
Klaxons started to sound off, a core breach was imminent. Somehow | |||
through the XO's meddling with Wraiths perfect calibration and | |||
balancing of the engines he'd had brought the system into meltdown. | |||
Stepping forward and pushing the XO out of the way of the console, | |||
Wraith solved the intermix problem in seconds avoiding the core | |||
breach. He then calmly turned to the XO and nailed him with one punch, | |||
sending the officer down to floor in a unconscious heap. Storm then | |||
made his way slowly to the security department and handed himself in. | |||
On returning to Earth, Wraith was hauled up for court martial. Deemed | |||
to of acted with extra ordinary calmness in solving the core breech he | |||
was also said to be reckless in his dealing with XO. He was busted | |||
back down to Ensign and served 6 months in a Starfleet prison on the | |||
moon. Luna 2. | |||
On release from prison Wraith was recruited by the design team on | |||
Starbase 6. Although his record was now marred, his academic | |||
achievements were beyond doubt. His primary role was to oversee the | |||
fitting and calibration of the new USS REPUBLICS warp engines and | |||
core. A job he threw himself into. By the time Wraith was done with | |||
Republic he had been promoted twice in rank, in the design team he was | |||
now second in overall charge of the REPUBLIC build and so far | |||
simulations had showed that REPUBLIC was so tight that she was | |||
reckoned to be 7% quicker than any of her Connie sisters and 4% faster | |||
at manoeuvring. A truly stunning piece of engineering given that she | |||
all the same parts as her sister ships. | |||
Unable to bear being parted from his mechanical masterpiece, Wraith | |||
applied for the Chief Engineers post on the REPUBLIC and was accepted | |||
immediately. | |||

V. Skills Profile | |||
================== | |||
A lot of people back at the Academy are expecting the name Wraith | |||
Storm to become almost legend in the field of Engineering. He has | |||
already done things with a warp core that beforehand had be deemed | |||
impossible. The 'Bright Spark of Surius' continues to delve deeper | |||
into the mysteries of subspace and has even spoke to some of being | |||
able to 'transwarp' a ship instantly anywhere in the galaxy. A very | |||
large boast. | |||
Others skills Wraith has are in hand to hand fighting and survival | |||
techniques. Many learnt in seclusion in the Lupin colony. | |||
========================================================================== | |||
VI. Recent Fitness Reports | |||
========================== | |||
Mr Storm appears to be in a reasonable state of health and fitness. | |||
His body had shown a lot of old scars and of badly set bones that it | |||
has been necessary to operate on to insure he will grow old | |||
comfortably. | |||

Staff Attending, Starbase 6 | |||
========================================================================== | |||
VII. Psychological Profile | |||
========================== | |||
When performing a report on Mr Storm it is important that his past is | |||
mentioned. Having been on his own for so many years has undoubtably | |||
shaped and hardened the man we see today. I notice immediately the Mr | |||
Storm does not enjoy large crowds, he does not engage in idle banter | |||
or small talk. If he wants some thing he asks for it, if he requires | |||
nothing then you will get nothing but silence as he goes about his | |||
business. | |||
We know that has a great affinity with the engineering lifestyle he | |||
has chosen for himself, Almost to a point of insubordination. As his | |||
records show he does not like his work to be tampered with and will | |||
act in defence if he feels threatened or undermimed. | |||
I know Mr Storm to be in a longterm relationship, but I think as for | |||
close friends he could probably count them on one hand. He comes | |||
across as a very distant character, someone who enjoys his own company | |||
rather than being social with others. | |||
