B. Background Summary | |||
--------------------- | |||
Kipling Brendon Williams was the youngest of two children born to Adam and Jemma | |||
Williams. His unusual name was courtesy of an Uncle who was a noted General of | |||
the Eugenics War but from early he has been known simply as Kip. | |||
Kip was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia where his father ran the Family | |||
Business (Bolt Securities) and his mother worked as a Speech Therapist at Royal | |||
Melbourne Children's Hospital. He had a very typical Australian childhood. | |||
His enduing memory is summer holidays at the family beach house where he became | |||
a keen sailor. He has sailed competitively (winning local and national titles) | |||
and after completing High School he took six months off to join a crew | |||
circumnavigating the globe in an ancient Mariners vessel (no modern technology | |||
allowed). After returning to Australia he was offered the opportunity to try | |||
out for an America's Cup syndicate but turned down the offer in order to take | |||
up a childhood dream of joining Star Fleet as a Navigator. | |||
His record at Star Fleet Academy was exemplary and he was a very gifted | |||
Navigator. Kip has an uncanny ability of understanding three-dimensional space | |||
around him and while he posses the ability of running very quick calculations in | |||
his head –his decision is seldom different from the original path he would have | |||
chosen. | |||
Upon graduation Kip was assigned to the Navigation Department of the USS | |||
MOSCOW. The MOSCOW'S primary mission was to map star charts of the rapidly | |||
increasing Federation Territory. Kip's sixth sense on stars was invaluable and | |||
a after a few years he was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and promoted to | |||
Head Navigator of the NEPTUNE. The NEPTUE'S mission was very similar of that of | |||
the MOSCOW's but its base of operations was as an exploratory vessel. During | |||
one such mission the NEPTUNE came under fire from a Nausican Raider and Kip used | |||
his knowledge of gravitational eddies thrown up by a nearby Binary Star to help | |||
the ship evade capture. When the Nausican ship attempted to follow the NEPTUNE | |||
it became caught up in the gravimetric shear and was disabled. Kip's actions | |||
gained him the first of his two Commendations. | |||
More importantly it bought Kip to the attention of Star Fleet Command who was | |||
actively looking into promoting Command Crews for the rapidly increasing Fleet | |||
and Kip was invited to attend Command Training. | |||
Upon successful completion of Command School Kip was assigned to the USS DESTINY | |||
as her Second Officer in charge of Navigation. He served for further five years | |||
with distinction and was eventually promoted to First Officer when her original | |||
XO was promoted to Commanding Officer of a smaller ship. | |||
Less than six months into his first tour as XO disaster be felled the DESTINY. | |||
A PVT line became jammed causing the mix of matter and anti-matter to become | |||
unbalanced and the core went critical. Though the Chief Engineer was able to | |||
dump the core, a series of explosions ripped through Engineering and threatened | |||
to destroy the ship. With the Chief Engineer dead Kip went into main | |||
Engineering and managed to halt the plasma flow long enough for most of the | |||
DESTINY's crew to escape the ship. Unfortunately Captain Mathewson was not one | |||
of the lucky ones –deciding to stay and operate the Transporters to allow as | |||
many crew as possible to get off the ship. The last man to beam off the ship | |||
was Kip Williams who was badly injured when an overhead gang plank gave way. | |||
Kip's actions gained him a second Commendation but with the Captain dead and the | |||
DESTINY destroyed Kip doesn't exactly feel like a Hero. Star Fleet however had | |||
different plans for Kip and decided to promote him to First Officer of the USS | |||
REPUBLIC. As Admiral N'Tara put it, "It is time to see if he sinks or swims". | |||

V. Skills Profile | |||
================= | |||
Kip is a very talented Navigator. He has uncanny sense of direction and will | |||
almost never get lost. Once he has been to a place he will usually be able to | |||
return to that exact point unprompted. He is a very driven individual and | |||
enjoys challenging himself. | |||
He is immensely fit and expects nothing less than 100% from those around him - | |||
but he will always expect more from himself than anybody else. | |||
Kip is a competent hand-to-hand fighter and is considered an excellent marksman. | |||
===================================================================== | |||
VI. Recent Fitness Reports | |||
========================== | |||
Commander Williams was admitted two months ago with a severed cervical link | |||
between the V2 and V3 vertebrae and became the first patient to be fitted with | |||
an artificial plasma membrane. This should allow the cytoplasmic fluid to | |||
continue unimpeded along the damaged spinal column. | |||
Initial results are encouraging and Commander Williams has now regained full | |||
mobility. He will need to be regularly monitored and will need six-monthly | |||
injections of the cytoplasmic fluid to maintain mobility. | |||
Commander Williams also presented with Grade 3 and 4 plasma burns along the | |||
upper torso and face; as well as a fracture of the scaphoid bone in his wrist. | |||
He was given standard dermal treatment and has made a complete recovery. | |||
Given the nature of his injuries Commander Williams remains in overall good | |||
health; helped in large measure by his overall fitness levels and he is released | |||
back into active service. | |||

VII. Psychological Profile | |||
========================== | |||
I have been asked to evaluate Lieutenant Commander Kipling Williams fitness for | |||
duty following the destruction of the USS DESTINY. | |||
Under the authority of this office I request the following information be sealed | |||
from Lieutenant Commander Williams. | |||
Commander Williams displays behavior conclusive with Survivor Guilt Syndrome. | |||
Though the inquest has exonerated Commander Williams and his actions the | |||
candidate feels that has been 'let-off' somehow. Victims of such incidents are | |||
usually left feeling that must either make the most of every moment or that they | |||
must somehow live up to the expectations of those who did not make it. Both | |||
scenarios can cause ongoing issues to the mental health of such survivors so it | |||
would be my recommendation that Commander Williams be returned to active service | |||
as soon as possible. | |||

VIII. Current Recreational Interests | |||
==================================== | |||
Kip enjoys sailing and keeps a P-52 Laser class yacht near his parents' home on | |||
Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. He has a deep love of all things outdoors and | |||
enjoys almost any activity. He enjoys being fit and pushing himself to the | |||
limit so when not sailing he also enjoys skiing, tramping and kite sailing. | |||
Kip does enjoy jazz music and plays the trombone -though with limited ability. | |||
