| I. Personal Data
| |
| Character surname: Luong
| |
| Character given name(s): Ning
| |

| |
| Weight: 76kg (168lbs)
| |
| Eye colour: Green
| |
| Hair colour: Black with a few grey streaks
| |
| Complexion: Caucasian/Oriental
| |
| Desc: Short and fairly stocky, Ning is a mix
| |
| of Oriental and Caucasian races. He
| |
| never seems in a hurry to do anything
| |
| and has a permanent air of relaxed
| |
| ambivalence. Has hair is short and
| |
| very straight, obviously inherited from
| |
| his oriental mother. Physically he

| seems to have more oriental stock than
| |
| Caucasian, having very little body hair
| |
| and slightly slanted eyes. Though he
| |
| has no need to, he wears spectacles.
| |
| These spectacles are custom made and
| |
| have the ability to focus at a
| |
| microscopic level. He uses these during
| |
| delicate operations.
| |

| |
| Professional Major: Medicine
| |
| Commendations (number and details): 1
| |
| Dr Luong's response to the simulated medical riot on board the USS
| |
| Forrest was both as you expect of a man with his background and
| |
| also utterly unique. His decision to introduce an antidote
| |
| though the drinking water and to program the force fields to
| |
| allow those unaffected to pass through was inspired and should
| |
| serve as an example of innovative thinking.
| |
| Reprimands (number and details): 1
| |
| Cadet Luong refused to give the order to storm a secured house using
| |
| fragmentation grenades, instead using flash bangs and phasers
| |
| set to stun. It had been explained previously that the
| |
| opponents possessed appropriate protective gear to defend
| |
| themselves against various non lethal grenades. Although his
| |
| unorthodox strategy did result in success, it exceeded the
| |
| time limit set for the exercise. Upon being dressed down by
| |
| the instructor, the cadet chose to make a remark comparing the
| |
| instructor to a butcher. Reprimand registered under
| |
| insubordination.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Currently Possess' the following major & minor awards (in chronological
| |
| order):
| |
|
| |
| Silver Lifesaving Medal
| |
| Gold Lifesaving Medal
| |
| Leonard McCoy Medal of Merit
| |
| Distinguished Service Medal
| |
| Wounded Lion

| III. Biographical Notes:
| |
|
| |
| 0-8: Lived on Alpha Centauri with his parents.
| |
| 9-14: Attended High School
| |
| 15-20: Attended Nightingale Medical College.
| |
| 21-29: Residency at St George Hospital. During his time there he
| |
| commences and completes his PhD in toxicology.
| |
| 30-36: Surgeon on staff. Divides his time between surgery and
| |
| toxicology. At age 34 he heads up the hospitals
| |
| toxicology unit
| |
| 37: Joined the Navy as a Doctor and proceeded through their basic
| |
| training and officer training programmes.
| |
| 38-40: Following graduation is promoted to LT. Serves briefly on the
| |
| USS ATLAS. However, is soon transferred back to Earth following
| |
| the creation of a new joint Marine/Naval unit to examine the use
| |
| of alternative weapons against the Borg. During an accident on
| |
| site which kills many of the staff, he escapes, saving several
| |
| lives in the process. Furthermore his actions safeguard the
| |
| whole medical research station. Awarded the Silver Lifesaving
| |
| Medal. The unit is disbanded for the time being.
| |
| 41-42: Transferred back to ALB, assisting in completing the training
| |
| of Naval medical staff. Begins widening his medical studies
| |
| into other area that may have an impact on his toxicology work
| |
| such as biology, genetics and biochemical engineering, though
| |
| he takes no formal qualifications.
| |
| 43-48: Moved to the Chemical Warfare Division. When he initially
| |
| protests and threatens to resign his commission he is moved to
| |
| work on antidotes and immunisations. Is awarded the Gold
| |
| Lifesaving Medal for his quick thinking during a biological
| |
| weapons leak. Protests strongly about the use of such weapons,
| |
| pointing out this is the second such leak he has been forced to
| |
| deal with in 10 years. Promoted to LT CMDR at age 47.
| |
| 49-55: Heads the division in charge of creating antidotes for enemy
| |
| chemical weapons. Is awarded The Leonard McCoy Medal of Merit
| |
| following the creation of several different forms of
| |
| immunisation. Promoted to CMDR at age 54. Contacted by an
| |
| agent of "unknown power" who explains promotion was their doing
| |
| and that if he helps them he will be helping the Federation.
| |
| Ning says nothing believing them to be opportunists trying to
| |
| benefit from his promotion.
| |
| 56: Rotated out to head medical facility on new federation
| |
| protectorate. Commands Medical Division during military coup
| |
| on Gravis Alpha IV. Awarded DSM for treating ALL injured
| |
| parties with equal skill, something that aids greatly during
| |
| the peace negotiations. Finally realising that to make a real
| |
| difference with Star Fleet he needs increased authority, Ning
| |
| looks for a transfer to enhance his promotion prospects.
| |
| 57-63: Serves on the USS Olympic as CMO. The Olympic sees action in
| |
| several instances, including boarding actions where, despite
| |
| being attacked and wounded, Luong still refuses to use lethal
| |
| force on his assailants. At the end of his tour, he applies
| |
| for command school and is accepted. However, before he can
| |
| return to HQ:
| |
| 64: The Olympic is ordered to Federation Research station Optima, a
| |
| semi-secret base dealing with the safe disposal of chemical
| |
| weapons taken from other powers. Ning is relieved of his duties
| |
| on board the Hades and ordered to take command of the facility
| |
| and is promoted to CAPT. Various directives from HQ severely
| |
| limit the time he spends at Optima, which, in his absence is run
| |
| by Cmdr Ethikas. Eventually, after nearly 6 months of
| |
| travelling round various toxicology labs throughout Federation
| |
| space he returns to Optima. He finds that equipment logs to not
| |
| tally with his personal recollections of when he found time to
| |
| tour the facility on his rare returns to his command. He
| |
| decides to commence an investigation into the disappearance of
| |
| some of the equipment, most notably some potentially dangerous
| |
| supplies. He finds that an "unknown power" is using the
| |
| facility for its own purposes, namely the creation of biological
| |
| weapons and reports it to Command. Commander Leo Ethikas, who
| |
| provided the information and evidence commits suicide before the
| |
| investigative team arrive. Commodore Jeremiah Waters heads up
| |
| the investigation team that finds Capt Luong guilty of
| |
| mismanagement and tries him (along with half a dozen
| |
| "accomplices") at a court martial hearing. Evidence appears
| |
| with Capt Luong's authorisation on various requisition forms
| |
| that he insists he did not sign. He is found guilty, is
| |
| sentenced to 3 months imprisonment. The only thing preventing
| |
| his discharge is his exemplary service to date. He is, however,
| |
| demoted to CMDR. Utterly desolate at the findings, CMDR Luong
| |
| musters out with an honourable discharge.
| |
| 65-70: Operates as a freelance medical specialist, forming his own
| |
| company, Karma Inc. His fame within his own field swiftly
| |
| allows him to build up an enviable reputation, with his services
| |
| proving to be in high demand, making him extremely rich in the
| |
| process.
| |
| 71-73: Becomes a primary sponsor for a peace movement known as Peace
| |
| Through Non Action. Is utilised by the Federation and his sent
| |
| to many medical emergencies to assist indigenous populations.
| |
| 74: Discovers that at least some of the funding is being re routed
| |
| to a terrorist group dedicated to bringing about the fall of the
| |
| Federation Government to be replaced by a more "benign" form of
| |
| Government. In trying to expose them he is forced to go on the
| |
| run. Allegations are made regarding unethical practices within
| |
| Karma Inc. He goes on the run, hoping to get in contact with
| |
| the authorities. Trying to silence him the terrorist group
| |
| mount a botched kidnapping attempt of his family. It results in
| |
| the death of his sister. Eventually he manages to get a message
| |
| through to an old Navy buddy, Capt Jessop who is now working for
| |
| SECIS.
| |
| 75: Following another attempt on his life, Ning petitions for the
| |
| creation of another identity for him and his family, this is
| |
| refused. However, interested parties within the Federation make
| |
| contact and, during clandestine meetings, the identity of the
| |
| "unknown power" is revealed to be an agency known as Section 31.
| |
| Ning is offered the opportunity to join SECIS in order to fight
| |
| against the influence of the shadowy Section 31 as well as other
| |
| enemies of the Federation. After much discussion it is agreed
| |
| that he will have the discharge removed from his record, until
| |
| evidence surfaces either way he will be marked as UNDER
| |
| INVESTIGATION - CURRENTLY SUSPENDED.
| |
| 76-77: Undergoes extensive re-training in intelligence operations.
| |
| However, despite grave concerns he refuses to surrender his vow
| |
| never to kill. Other than his obvious medical skill he seems to
| |
| have a talent for surveillance and counter surveillance
| |
| operations.
| |
| 78: Assigned to Task Force Sierra
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| IV. Background Information
| |
|
| |
| Ning grew up an exceptionally happy child, although a little distant
| |
| from other children. His innate curiosity served to exercise his
| |
| burgeoning IQ. This development was encouraged by both his parents who
| |
| began to teach him from home, hoping to encourage him to specialise in
| |
| their disciplines. Eventually he chose his mothers discipline and
| |
| studied medicine. It wasn't until he was into his early 20's that he
| |
| discovered his unusual gifts. He was bitten by a funnel web spider, and
| |
| although suffered for 12 hours, he made an extremely rapid recovery. It
| |
| was following this event that his mother confirmed he had been
| |
| genetically modified.
| |
|
| |
| He has always enjoyed his time with the Navy, enjoying particularly the
| |
| structure and the facilities provided to him. He has always been less
| |
| keen on the idea of killing a fellow being. However, his role has
| |
| always been such that his ability to fight has never been brought into
| |
| serious question. Recent events have forced him to acknowledge that
| |
| there are individuals within the armed forces who seek to protect the
| |
| federation by using methods that are distasteful to him. To use his own
| |
| words, "You don't stop an arm bleeding by cutting it off. You use
| |
| precision, causing as little damage to the surrounding area as possible."
| |
|
| |
| Whilst most intelligence operatives would consider Ning to be little
| |
| more than a gifted amateur, his wide range of skills as well as his
| |
| acknowledged expertise in the medical field make him an ideal team
| |
| player for Task Force Sierra. However, given his slightly idealistic
| |
| view of the Federation he is probably not suited for command, or for
| |
| extended periods out in the field.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| V. Skills Profile
| |
|
| |
| Dr Luong is a fully qualified surgeon and is also rated as an exo-
| |
| biologist, macrobiologist and geneticist. He is a talented amateur
| |
| engineer, though he has no formal training. His engineering focus is
| |
| mainly in computers and communication systems, again mainly thanks to
| |
| his father.
| |
|
| |
| During his time with the Navy he has undertaken many of their basic
| |
| training packages. He is rated with shortarms and longarms and has also
| |
| received extensive zero G and generic survival training.
| |
|
| |
| Due to his fatigue threshold he is also an endurance swimmer of extreme
| |
| talent, and, when he does decide to exercise it is usually swimming.
| |
|
| |
| Finally, he has studied a few defensive martial arts focused on using
| |
| the attacker's strength and power against them, though he is far from an
| |
| expert.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| VI. Recent Fitness Report
| |
|
| |
| The genetic modifications to Dr Luong reduce the amount of fatigue
| |
| toxins produced by his muscles during exercise. Whilst he remains
| |
| average in terms of speed, coordination and power, his endurance levels
| |
| are simply astounding. Even more so given that he indulges in the bare
| |
| minimum of exercise.
| |
|
| |
| The genetic modifications have also provided him with an extremely
| |
| aggressive immune system that appears to be able to handle almost any
| |
| natural toxin known to Federation Scientists. However, his immune
| |
| system fares less well against man made toxins. This situation is
| |
| further complicated in that his aggressive immune system attacks ANY
| |
| foreign body, which includes antidotes and immunisations. He also has
| |
| an increased ability to heal. It is estimated that a broken arm would
| |
| heal completely within a week on the condition that Dr Luong intakes an
| |
| increased level of calcium.
| |
|
| |
| Finally he appears to be ageing at a reduced rate. It is estimated that Dr
| |
| Luong ages at around 1/2 the rate of an unaltered human (and thus
| |
| appears to be younger than he actually is). This same modification has
| |
| resulted in an allergic reaction to any of the normal life extension
| |
| treatments. Something that his mother did not forsee. His estimated
| |
| lifespan is 180 years.
| |
|
| |
| This is not without cost. Dr Luong must ingest a formula of his own
| |
| creation every morning to allow him to eat "normal food" due to the
| |
| content of bacteria in all things. From experience, if he does not
| |
| ingest this formula he will be unable to eat (or more accurately to
| |
| retain any solids, or even fluids other than water). For this reason
| |
| (and although it would barely affect him) Ning avoids alcohol and almost
| |
| any other fluid other than plain water. However, he does enjoy his
| |
| food and does not relish the thought of eating sterile vitamin pills,
| |
| therefore he eats well and as a normal human would. Furthermore, before
| |
| setting foot on a planet he has never been on before he has to inject
| |
| himself with a concoction to allow his immune system to accept the
| |
| hitherto unknown bacteria into his system. This usually results in cold
| |
| like symptoms for the first 24 hours. The alternative is that his
| |
| system continually battles the "infection", resulting in severe shakes
| |
| and nausea for a period ranging from 24 - 72 hours.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| VII. Psychological Profile
| |
|
| |
| Dr Luong places no stock in the effects that any genetic modification
| |
| may have had upon him. He has adjusted exceptionally well to this
| |
| revelation, mainly due to his attitude of what has happened is in the
| |
| past, move on. Ning is not given much to introspection, with the only
| |
| deviation being that he seeks to review his performance to maximise any
| |
| learning. Recent events have forced him to question the very nature of
| |
| the Federation. However he is totally committed to ensuring that the
| |
| Federation and its most lofty ideals remain untarnished. Though not
| |
| religious, he is a believer in the maxim, "Defeat your enemies with
| |
| kindness."
| |
|
| |
| However, he is less well adjusted to the death of his sister believing
| |
| that he and the Federation could have done more. Allied to this is a
| |
| deep seated drive to see that the guilty parties are brought to justice.
| |
|
| |
| He is fiercely passionate about improving the lives of others through
| |
| medical discoveries, though he does appreciate that it is sometimes
| |
| necessary to fight to survive. He finds the Borg both terrifying and
| |
| fascinating.
| |
|
| |
| Despite his chosen career his main passion is the act of learning. Ning
| |
| is most happy when he has a new skill to master and obviously enjoys the
| |
| whole process of absorbing new information. This curiosity is one of
| |
| Ning's foremost talents and should prove of great benefit. However,
| |
| this must be tempered by a capable commander. To his cost, Ning has
| |
| discovered there are some things best left undiscovered - for the good
| |
| for the Federation. This trait should also be carefully noted as it has
| |
| the potential to cause difficulties during extended covert operations,
| |
| Dr Luong may lose sight of the main aims and objectives and immerse
| |
| himself in his new experiences. As he becomes more wordly, this should
| |
| become less and less of a problem.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| VIII. Current Recreational Interests
| |
|
| |
| Dr Luong enjoys playing computer games, and can often be found in his
| |
| quarters playing on a device of his fathers creation. This also extends
| |
| to playing on the holodeck, though as an amateur historian, he usually
| |
| sticks to factual events. He continues to practice playing his guitar,
| |
| though never seems happy with his ability even though listeners have
| |
| insisted that he is very good. Interestingly Dr Luong is a practising
| |
| pacifist and refuses to kill. Though far from defenceless, he has kept
| |
| his vow to never take a life.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| IX. Miscellaneous Information
| |
|
| |
| In his last IQ test Dr Luong scored well over the threshold for "genius
| |
| level". Ever since he was a child he has answered to the nickname
| |
| "Mouse". This is he insists due to his penchant as a child to wriggle
| |
| into the smallest places.

| and trying not to be a carbon copy of her aunt, to find her own
| |
| path.
