Background Summary --------------------- William Patton was born at a Lunar mining facility where his father was employed as a miner and his mother was a computer tech. He saw little of his father during his childhood. His father was always off chasing the next job, the next pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Patton, however, had a very close relationship with his mother. She saw to his upbringing and education. As she moved from position to position, Bill learned each new computer system his mother was working on. He used those systems to basically self-educate himself. At the age of ten, he learned that his father had been killed in a bar-room fight on Ganymede. His mother died when Patton was sixteen. She was aboard a shuttle returning to Earth when it was penetrated by a piece of orbital debris. The shuttle was lost with all hands. Two weeks later, Patton presented himself to the local Star Fleet recruiting station; and, lying about his age, he enlisted. He was assigned to Security. Patton spent the next ten years in the Star Fleet. Naturally he earned the nickname of "Wild Bill". He found that he enjoyed the responsibility and adventure of the Service. His ability and intelligence led to his rapid advancement. By the time of his resignation, he had attained the rank of Chief Petty Officer with mulitple qualification certificates. Many of the operations he participated in during this period of Fleet service are still under secrecy seal. Details are available to those with appropriate clearance through the Star Fleet Intelligence Headquarters . In 2747 Patton met and married his wife, Shania Townsend. Shania was a nurse at Starbase One. They met while Patton was recovering from severe wounds incurred during one of the many "peace keeping" operations he participated in during his service. For a couple of years Patton had been becoming more cynical about the role the Star Fleet was playing in "keeping the peace". He was searching for a way to improve the lot of the average Federation citizen, those who lived and died by the actions of an authority increasingly out of contact. The death of his wife in childbirth the following year crystallized his resolve. He resigned from Star Fleet. Patton took the qualifying exams for the Leonard McCoy Medical School and scored in the top ten percent. He was admitted to the medical school at full scholarship and graduated number eight in a class of two-hundred. Patton spent the next several years working through the Federation Red Cross and the Federation Centers for Diseae Control, responding to crisis and disaster throughout the Federation. He also had some contact with Federation Intelligence during this period. Another year was spent in advanced training on the Klingon homeworld at the Imperial School of Medicine. Patton came to realize that most of the disasters that required his attention were not natural, but the result of political and military decisions and actions. He came to believe that the only way to influence such events was to be one of those present at the decision-point. Unfortunately, that meant a return to Star Fleet. Thanks to his varied postings over the years, Patton had acquired and maintained a vast network of "old-boy" friends that he could call upon when needed. With their assistance -- and a high score on the Star Fleet Academy entrance exams -- he was admitted to Star Fleet Academy. Patton was the oldest member in his Academy class. Because of his previous experiences he completed the course work in three years instead of the usual four years. It was during his final year at the Academy that the data in the Academy's computer system was replaced with the world's largest porno collection. The real data was later discovered on the Academy Commandant's computer system. Star Fleet security officers felt that they knew who accomplished this deed. However, they lacked sufficient evidence to bring any charges related to the incident. =================================================================== ====== IV.

Recent Fitness Reports ========================== Evaluation By Star Fleet Complied At The Time Of CPO Patton's Resignation: "I have commanded Chief Petty Officer Patton for the past four years. He has shown himself to be an extremely proficient leader, a highly qualified, combat-proven individual. He has constantly pushed himself to, and beyond, his limits both in his professional and personal life. The Fleet accepts Chief Petty Officer Patton's resignation with extreme reluctance. His re-enlistment at a future date would be welcomed without prejudice." -Captain Thomas Paine, Commanding Officer, USS WOLF Star Fleet INTEL Summary done at the time of Patton's admission to Star Fleet Academy: "A review of the available service records and civilian files on William Patton has been conducted. William Patton holds Top Secret-Nova clearance from his time of previous service with Fleet. This clearance is re-newed as of this date. Reasons for re-newal and activities related to William Patton are classified Top Secret-Galactic and are not to be revealed in this document. Suffice it to say that the loyalty of William Patton is under no question. He is cleared for any information, up to his security Clearance level." -Admiral William Donovan, Star Fleet Intelligence =================================================================== ======= VII. Psychological Profile ========================== Personality: Patton is very open in social situations. He has a warm and welcoming manner. He loves teaching and training of his staff and anyone else that he can get to stand still long enough. His only evidence of hesistation occurs with those whom he considers too "gung-ho" or too ready to spend the lives of their crew for too little gain. He is even more vocal about those who place career advancement above all else. Despite his service and life history, Patton still retains a sense of wonder. He feels that he has a responsiblity to leave things a little better tomorrow than they are today. He goes quietly about his duties, becoming agitated only with obstructions. Since the death of his wife and child, he had immersed himself in his work and the dreams/ideals that she often expressed. He carries a small holo-projected program of her where-ever he is posted. Even now, many years later, Patton will find himself in tears when he talks about her and the son who did not survive birth. He also carries a collection of real-paper books and a small collection of antique firearms with him on his postings. In his medical duties, Patton is very attentive and caring toward his patients. He takes the death of any patient very personally. He has a warm bedside manner that rarely fails to thaw the most reluctant. Patton has no medical problems. He is in remarkable physical condition for a man his age. It is the rare food or drink that he will not try at least once. This is only one of the influences that remain from his deceased wife. Patton has been tested by Star Fleet and found to be one of those rare individuals who are "esper blind". Meaning that telepathic/emphatic individuals are unable to get any reading/influence from him at all Psychological Evaluation Complied By Star Fleet Medical: "William Patton has one of the most stable psychological profiles I have ever come across. He has a strong sense of self and an even stronger sense of duty. Despite the horendous events of his first posting aboard the USS HOPE and the combat duties of his Fleet service, Patton has emerged without any siginificant psychological scars. The deaths he witnessed served only to increase his sense of duty. The enemy deaths for which he was responsible brought no sense of victory or satisfaction, only of regret that such actions were unavoidable. The death of his wife and child has had a great influence of his actions. Patton has shown a remarkable ability to interface with various races and species on an equal and fair level. He is recommended fo promotion and advancement without reservation." =============================================== VIII.
