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

Notes:
The senior chief is a bit on the stocky side, but is not fat in any way.  
He is heavily muscled.  He has the face of a prize-fighter.  Even modern 
medicine has not been able to completely alleviate the effect of many 
broken noses and cauliflowered ears.  Burreson is generally a good-
humored man, but can be dangerous when pushed.  His fighting style is 
not elegant and bears little respemblance to any organized for of 
martial arts, but it is an effective collection on moves learned from 
decades of street and bar fighting.

About eight years ago, for no clear external reason, the senior chief
seems to have finally cleaned up his act.  At about that time, he seems 
to have developed a friendship with a green security officer aboard USS
PROMETHEUS.  That officer, CDR Jack Danger, is presently XO of USS NOVA.

Burreson is one the the first generation of Federation citizens to have
received life extension treatments.  As such his physical age is,
effectively, frozen in his late thirties/early forties.  Unlike later
generation recipients he actually looks like a fully mature adult in the
prime of his life.  Someone who recieves third or forth generation
treatments will look like they are in their late teens until they are
about thirty and will still look to be in their mid-20's by the time they
are 50.

---
An excerpt from "USS CIRCE: The Lower Decks perspective"

The new navigation officer on CIRCE looked like he might fit into the
former and the new propulsion division commander seemed to be the latter.
Of course Burreson knew well enough not to let first impressions color 
his perceptions too much. It was possible that the rating had really 
screwed up and tried to blame his passenger. Of course that seemed odd. 
Someone had probably just pushed the rating to keep a schedule and the 
rating let the officer do the pushing. It might not even have been -- 
and in fact probably was not -- the young lieutenant's fault. Burreson 
knew that he wouldn't have allowed himself to be pushed, even when he 
was much younger.  Of course that -- and a perpensity for fighting and 
drinking and gambling and unproven allegations of black marketeering 
and some question about unathorized modifications to a holodeck -- 
explained why the 73 year-old Burreson was "only" a senior chief. With 
a wry internal grin that never reached his face he recalled that he had 
made senior chief an astounding 7 times before actually keeping the 
second star over his chevrons and that it had taken almost as long to 
keep the first.

Mark Twain once said, 'God protect fools and children.' The senior chief
hoped devoutly that he was correct. And, while the crew of CIRCE weren't
precisely children, they at least looked that way to Burreson who had
grown up in a time when people actually looked their age and before life
extending treatments meant that he would live another two centuries 
while his parents had both died in the last few year at less than 110. 
How interesting it would be if they did not revise the service stripes 
on the enlisted uniform. He already had 14 of them stretching most of 
the way up his forearm. It would become ludicrous long before he had 50.

D. Star Fleet Academy Record: 
Class Rank: Top 5%
Academic Major: Biology and Xenobiology
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

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.

XO on the USS DAEDALUS.  Jenna joined SFA much to the dismay of her 
parents and grandmother (Katherine Phoenix), following in her Aunt's 
footsteps. Much like her aunt, Jenna has little patience for 
familial concepts of what is acceptable, choosing to follow her own 
path.  This rebellion is reflected in every aspect of her life, from 
her career to her beliefs. Jenna is torn between idolizing her aunt 
and trying not to be a carbon copy of her aunt, to find her own 
path.

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.
