Background Summary The following was written by a fellow physician, Dr. Jared Whiting, as Abby was being considered for the command of the USS Phoenix, a post she held briefly before retiring. Abby Patrick is an Earth-born human female, approaching thirty years of age. She's a slender 5'7", has fair skin and blue eyes and usually has long red hair, which she usually has pulled back in a braid or somesuch. She was bald recently, but her hair has since grown back. Without going into too much detail, Abby's career in Starfleet started with her assignment to the USS Sigma as counselor; this assignment began shortly after she graduated with honors from Starfleet Medical. Abby served with distinction aboard the Sigma, and served briefly as the FO of the USS Valiant before it was destroyed in battle. It took a brief while for Dr. Patrick to work her way back to Federation space after the destruction of the Valiant. On her way, she tangled briefly with Orion slavers and won a shapeshifting bartender his freedom in a poker game. She married her sweetheart, JT Montana, who then promptly disappeared into the ether and is presumed dead. It is not clear whether the honeymoon was in any way a catalyst for his untimely departure. While waiting reassignment with Starfleet, Abby ran into the redoubtable Hunter Thorpe in Admiral Jack's waiting room (well, he actually threw a chair at her, but these things happen). With the admiral indisposed after his encounter with Thorpe, and thus not assigning Dr. Patrick to a post anytime soon, she accompanied Mr. Thorpe as first officer on a shakedown of the Saigon Mistress, a Klingon Bird of Prey. (Don't ask.) Many things happened. Abby also served as CMO on the USS Phoenix before it was destroyed in a bit of nasty sabotage. Post-sabotage, Abby took refuge in the new time/dimension/universe by working in a bar on a backwater planet called N'Rax, eventually winning the bar in yet another poker game. (Never bluff the good doctor.) She shaved her head in a bid to not look like a hooker (it's a long story), discovered her new circumstances, her chance renewed at finding her long-lost husband, and had almost escaped prison and a certain death sentence when Hunter Thorpe stepped in and fouled everything up. Despite Mr. Thorpe's best efforts, they managed to escape and find their way to SSE1 where Abby was posted to the USS Pasteur as ACMO and then CMO. I don't have any fancy psychological references to give on Abby. She's a great doctor, cares deeply about her patients, and has a wicked sense of humor. She has established herself well in command situations; her style is creative and highly participative. Since she is a physician, she tends to look for non-combative solutions first, which makes her an excellent choice to captain a Galaxy-class vessel. Right now she finds herself a bit confused, romantically: technically, she -might- still be married to the long-lost JT, and she is fiercely loyal to his memory. However, since JT's misfortune she has found herself attracted to other men, feels guilty about it, and is unable to make a deep commitment to anyone. She has recently acknowledged to herself that she feels too strongly about Thorpe, which is useless, since of course he is still carrying a torch for his wife. Abby Patrick has a smart mouth, depends on her wits extensively, and knows all the -real- words to "Louie, Louie." IV. Official Star Fleet Record a. Promotion History i. Commissioned as Ensign in 2407. ii. Promoted to Lt. Commander in 2407. iii. Promoted to Captain in 2413 iv. Demoted to Commander 2413 b. Medals and Commendations i. None that she can recall V. Skills Profile a. See background summary for discussion of Dr. Patrick’s medical and other skills. VI. Recent Fitness Report a. From Dr. Aaron L. Osterwitz, Chief Practitioner, Star Fleet Medical: i. Dr. Patrick is surprisingly fit for someone who loathes exercise. She passes the basic fitness requirements for a Star Fleet officer. VII. Psychological Profile a. From Dr. Felicia Thom, Psychology Section Head, Star Fleet Medical: i. Dr. Abigail Patrick, while a steady sort, is easily bored. She functions extremely well in emergencies, which, while useful in her line of work, tends to make her less likely to try to avoid emergencies. ii. Dr. Patrick is a keen judge of character and prides herself on her ability to understand others’ motivations. iii. Dr. Patrick does have trouble maintaining steady relationships and so it makes perfect sense that she continues to be involved/not involved with Hunter Thorpe, who is emotionally unavailable. VIII. Current Recreational Interests. a. Abby likes to read, watch old movies (circa 20th century), embroider, and is a trivia buff.
