Lt. Fairbanks: The captain! Captain Mason is down! Medical team to the bridge! Commander, what are we going to do?
Intro You graduated Starfleet at the top of your class... as well as the top of your disciplinary record. After graduating, you are assigned to the ambassador class USS Horatio as an auxiliary tactical ensign.
Two years later, after being promoted to Lieutenant, you are on a mission towards the end of the Cardassian war. You are on the bridge at the tactical station. The captain orders you to scan a Cardassian transport that they suspect is carrying weapons. You find no weapons onboard, instead reading 20,000 people, but the captain remains unconvinced. The transport refused to acknowledge signal. The captain orders you to open fire. You refuse and call on the captain to be relieved of duty. A brief standoff ensues which resulted in the Captain's arrest.
It turns out your instincts were correct and you saved thousands of lives. For your efforts, you are promoted. Instead of being given command of the Horatio, you are only promoted to Lt. Commander and immediately transferred to the USS Constellation. Starfleet seems to be covering up what happened as best they can and they're not happy with you creating waves. Sending you to such an old, backwater ship like a this is clearly to stop you from causing anymore trouble.
Six months go by and you serve admirably as tactical officer, despite clearly being unhappy with the posting.
The Constellation is assigned to serve along the Romulan Neutral Zone. During that time, you scan something odd. It seems that the Romulans have located a piece of Iconian technology and are attempting to extract it from a nearby asteroid.
Unfortunately, the Romulans don't seem to equipped to deal with such tech and it responds violently to their attempt. The entire asteroid explodes, sending a subspace shockwave through the system. The captain orders shields up too late. The shockwave strikes the Constellation hard, sending everyone flying from their feet.
You and the remaining bridge crew attempt to restore order, but the bridge has taken a hit.
