Recommendations and Evaluations:

"In my years of experience I have rarely seen a pilot with the raw 
talent of this cadet. Unfortunately he knows about his talent, and 
relies upon it, rather than procedure. Were I in command I would place 
this cadet in a pilot's chair and try to train his talent into something 
better than it is."

Capt. Kit Hiller (Academy Flight Instructor)


"We could have used a hot-head like him back in the old days of the
Federation. Now he would just be a hinderance... He has heart though, 
that much is for sure. However the Federation needs people now with a 
level head. His temper will get him and many others killed. His 
personality would have been more useful generations before, not now."

Dr. Globin ( Pyschological evaluator)


"Never in my life have I met a more rude,inconsiderate, rash, hotheaded,
egotistical, and undesirable individual in my career as Assistant 
Headmaster of the Academy. He constantly is in trouble with both 
administration and with the local law enforcement. I see in his eyes the 
potential he has of becoming an important asset for the Federation 
however he refuses to even push himself. Strange that a woman of such 
elegance and distinction as Dr. Atolya Prince could ever be the mother 
of such a child."

Assist. Headmaster of Starfleet Academy Adm. K'Loo


"In a combat situation I would want a warrior to be there beside me. 
Like his father, John Prince is a warrior. He may be difficult to get 
along with but because of his background environment it's as if he was 
created for war. If the Federation refuses him I will take him under my 
command. As a warrior."

Klingon Consul General H'Qal Kroman


"Small built, incredible heart."

Cmd. Ali

III. Biographical Notes

A. Chronology (tabular form):

0-18: Lived with parents
18-22: Starfleet Academy
22-26: Served as Tactical Officer on destroyer USS Kirk, remaining 
on the ship she promoted through Full Lieutenant and the position of 
Executive Officer. 
27-32: Along with other eight survivors of the Kirk, Grace was held 
captive by the 
Romulans
33-35: Returned to the Federation as part of a prisoner exchange, 
promotion from Lieutenant to Lieutenant Commander. She received the 
Medal of Honor for her actions on the Kirk
36-38: Served as tactics instructor at Starfleet academy. Regularly 
monitored by OSFI, and at the end of her 3-year instructor tour was 
cleared to return to space duty. 
39: Promoted Commander, assigned OPS/2O of USS Daedalus
Present: Re-assigned to TF Sierra
B. Background Summary:

At the rank of Lieutenant, Kirk, equipped with an experimental 
cloaking device, was sent deep into Romulan space to gather 
information on the Dhael-class heavy cruiser, then in the initial 
construction phase. Kirk's cloaking was not up to the standards of 
Romulan sensor technology, and the ship was quickly located and 
engaged by no fewer than five Senai-class light cruisers, the newest 
and best in the Romulan navy, each of which was vastly superior in 
both speed and power to the Kirk.
As Executive Officer, Grace took command on the death of the captain 
and fought her ship to the point of crippling one of the Romulan 
cruisers while managing to destroy the prototype cloaking device 
before the Kirk was boarded by the Romulans.
She was held captive by the Romulans for nearly six years, though 
the details were entirely classified as neither the Federation nor 
the Romulans admit to holding any prisoners. During the three years 
following her return (the other seven all took their lives within a 
year of repatriation), Grace was thoroughly debriefed, interrogated 
by OSFI, and eventually cleared to return to service, though she 
remained at Starfleet academy as an instructor for three years while 
OSFI closely monitored her behavior.
Finally she was cleared to return to space duty and promoted to full 
Commander.
Grace has no recollection of what occurred at the Romulan prison 
except that she was permitted to keep her violin and had access to a 
gymnasium.

IV. Skills Profile

Grace is a concert violinist who has lost none of her talent despite 
six years of captivity. She is also a brilliant tactician and has a 
very quick mind.

VI. Recent Fitness Report

Commander Kim is in outstanding physical condition, which is 
surprising considering her long incarceration. Kim states that she 
was treated well by her captors, who provided ample food and allowed 
her access to the facility's gymnasium, and even provided her with 
a violin.
I cannot find any signs of physical torture, malnutrition or any 
other physical abuse of any kind. In fact, Commander Kim is at a 
level of physical condition that would suggest a professional 
gymnast, rather than a serving military officer.
Dr. Rachel Kraus, Starfleet Academy, Duty Physician

VII. Psychological Profile

Commander Kim is a very difficult nut to crack. We have employed 
nine telepaths of four different species to try and get an inside 
look at her thoughts, but her thoughts remain a mystery to us. 
Commander Kim claims that she is Esper Blind, as are all members of 
her family, a claim verified by both of her parents, and thus 
completely immune to psionic treatments.
Despite our inability to get inside Commander Kim's mind, she is 
very well-adjusted and does not appear to have been mistreated 
during her Romulan incarceration. I have no reason to doubt her when 
she says that she and her shipmates were treated well and not abused 
in any way.
Dr. Kevin Hart, Starfleet Academy, Duty Counselor

VIII. Current Recreational Interests

Classical music, violin

IX. Classified Information " NOT CHARACTER KNOWLEDGE -not even to 
Grace herself"

The public file and Starfleet's knowledge of what happened on 
Romulus is very different than what actually happened. The fact is, 
Grace Kim's Esper Blindness was overcome, and she was programmed by 
her Romulan captors. When she describes being treated well she is 
not lying, as her memories of the period were fabricated by a 
Romulan psionicist and emplanted in her mind. She has no 
recollection of the grueling physical training program that the 
Romulans subjected her to, creating in effect the perfect assassin. 
Grace Kim has no idea that she is able to shoot a flying sparrow at 
1,000 meters with a hand phaser, nor has she any clue that she was 
trained to kill even a martial arts master with her bare hands in 
mere seconds. 

Until her programming is triggered by the correct stimulus, she is a 
mild-mannered though competent and confident woman who takes her 
duties as a Starfleet officer very seriously. Once activated, 
however, best stay out of the way, she has a level of physical 
ability and mental resistance that make her formidable indeed.
More recently, she has become aware that something was done on 
account of her being activated by a Romulan plan on board the 
Daedalus. While activated, she killed a Federation senator, a 
retired intelligence operative and almost killed Commodore Madison 
Fitzgerald. She was tried and found innocent of those crimes, though 
now the difficulty is finding a way to deprogram her or at least 
make sure that the Romulans cannot access her. 

One consequence of her recent activation was an awareness by OSFI of 
the extraordinary level of training that the Romulans provided. 
While the Federation does not engage in so-called Black Ops, having 
an operative with such training could be very useful in counter
operations.

Personal History:

-----------------

Luciano was born in San Juan Puerto Rico. His family lived near the beach so Luciano became 
sort of a beach bum. His development was normal, until puberty when he found out he was attracted 
to other guys. Coming from a traditional Hispanic family, he feared telling his parents about his 
feelings. His family wondered why didn't he date girls or even go out on social events. They also 
wondered why his son hung out in Condado, a section of San Juan known for its gay community. At age 
18, he went to Georgetown University on a Interstellar Politics major. At Georgetown he joined the 
Starfleet Officer Training Course.

During his Christmas Break in his junior year at Georgetown, he went to Malaysia, where he met Petrus 
Pensin, a personal trainer, a nature guide, and a criminology student. It was love at first sight. 
Luciano had never  felt that way in his life. In fact, he never had any particular attraction towards 
attraction towards Asians. But when he saw Petrus at a beach in Sabah, there was no question that he 
was the light in his eyes. Luciano returned to Georgetown to end his education, but he would see Petrus 
every time he had an opportunity. That Christmas, he invited his boyfriend to visit his family. Her 
mother accepted her son's homosexuality, but his father wanted nothing with it. In fact, father and 
son had not spoken since that Christmas.

Right after graduation, Luciano and Petrus married in the Buddhist fashion. Lucano was heartbroken when 
no one from his family went to the wedding.

Luciano joined the Officer Candidate School after graduation. At OCS, he continued his training in Tactical 
Operations and Small Vessel Operations. Luciano was a bright student, but got into various fights over his 
relationship with Petrus. He was reprimanded twice for fighting and once for assaulting a Klingon officer. 
Although he graduated 4th out of 199 in his class, his initial assignment was the  Science vessel USS 
MARIE CURIE. He was shuffled around in various mundane assignments until his assignment to the MIRANDA-class 
light cruiser USS COCHISE, when during an surprise attack by two Dominion ships, he took a page from the old 
Starfleet by rerouting the phasers through the warp drive. He ordered the ship to vent plasma and fired the 
COCHISE's phasers towards the plasma cloud. In a single shot, the COCHISE destroyed a Dominion fighter and 
severely crippled a Dominion cruiser.  

Promoted to Lieutenant Commander and assigned as Chief of Operations on board the LEVIATHAN, where he was 
later promoted to Commander and Executive Officer. However, his promotion was overturned after an incident 
where he stole the USS LEVIATHAN when he learned that his father, with whom he had reconciled after a mission 
in which both worked together on the Gorn Confederacy, had been taken hostage by pirates.  

After being court-martialed and demoted to Lieutenant Commander, he was assigned as Chief of Operations on the 
USS KUSANAGI.

Psychological profile and Fitness Reports:

------------------------------------------ 

Luciano is a very passionate man. He is loyal, honorable, intelligent, but has a chip the size of Antares on 
his shoulder. For things that would be considered trivial, Luciano could take personal insult. Although he's 
the size of a normal human, he took on five cadets in his first fight and three others in the second one, beating 
them on both occasions. He has learned to control his temper, thanks to his relationship with Petrus, but whenever 
someone even looks bad at his lover, he will slug it with whoever it is.  

Counselor Lerana Drel, Star Fleet Academy 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Lieutenant Landor-Pensin is a superb officer. His ingenious tactical solution during the Dominion attack on 
Talus IV saved this ship against overwhelming odds and while my Executive Officer and I were on the surface in a 
mission. Although sometimes volatile of character, in general he's an inspired tactician and a loyal and honorable 
officer. If I were to choose anyone to fight at my side, I'd choose Lieutenant Landor.

Capt. Shrat, Commanding Officer, USS COCHISE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

A good officer. He makes a impressive investigative team with Ensign Pensin. It seems Star Fleet is finally listening 
to our needs as they have helped crack

some of the hardest cases in the station.. Too bad they have to be transferred. I hope that Lieutenant Landor's 
replacement is as good as Lieutenant Landor.

Constable Arnet Lim, Deep Space Nine

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 

A reliable officer. Inspired tactician and loyal to a fault. An asset to any crew.

Star Fleet's got an outstanding officer in Lieutenant Commander Landor. Only problem is that he loses his temper. 
The Counselor and myself have tried working with his temper, but to no success. A good officer all around, but he 
must learn to control his temper. 

Capt. Adar Tallon, USS IOWA

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

A good and loyal officer. Good tactician. Always able to come up with creative solutions to problems. However still 
needs to work with his temper. The incident in which he stole the LEVIATHAN while on drydock was another example of 
needing to stop and think before acting. Although he was able to rescue the hostages, the LEVIATHAN was destroyed. 
His inability to detach himself from the situation was costly, especially with the loss of a battlecruiser.  

Admiral Denton “Buck” Vargas Commander-in-Chief Gold Fleet and former CO USS LEVIATHAN 

Miscellaneous Considerations [NRPG]:

------------------------------------ 

Luciano does not fit your stereotype of what is a gay man. He acts like any other man, except that he likes men 
and has a male lover. He's got a short temper when someone makes an insulting comment about his sexual orientation 
or about his relationship with Petrus.
