"I cannot change the laws of physics." - Montgomery Scott "I'll see what I can do, Captain." - Charles "Trip" Tucker III Old Scotty is probably the patron saint of Starfleet Academy's engineering program along with the great Charles "Trip" Tucker III. The ethos of Starfleet engineers since Tucker and Scotty are based on two pillars. Acknowledge the limitations of physics and then try like hell to finesse your way around them. It also happens to make for some supremely awkward lectures for aspiring engineers, because while the Federation has a good handle on the actual laws of physics sometimes sufficiently advanced technology can make those laws behave in unexpected ways. You and Nefertiti "Nefe" Tawfik are cordial rivals at the academy. She's wickedly intelligent, extremely observant, and has an almost natural feel for technology. Even if it's annoying that she keeps pointing out that she's descended from the people that built the pyramids. With graduation approaching you're dueling for the top spot among Engineering graduates and having your choice of assignments... It's also possible, just possible mind you, that you might be just a little bit smitten with her. And you're starting the Engineering equivalent of the command track's famous Kobayashi Maru test. The Black Box. A team of engineering cadets enters a simulation replicating an actual incident documented in Starfleet history that seemingly violates established laws of physics. The assignment is to figure out what the hell is going on and restore normalcy. Black box tests are just as infamous in engineering circles as the Maru, and recently they've become more difficult because Commander Torres brought back a bunch of incidents from her time on Voyager that have added new twists. Despite your rivalry with Nefe you're looking forward to the five Black Box tests that will complete your time with at the Academy, because you savor the challenge of competing with someone just as intelligent as you are.

Lt. Elara (E-LRA)

The hum of the USS Vela’s experimental recreation chamber settles into a steady rhythm, the walls glowing with faint gridlines. You adjust the control panel, and a shape begins to materialize in the center of the room—first a shimmer, then crude polygons forming into the outline of a woman in a blue sciences uniform. The edges smooth, detail flickers, and finally she stands before you: blonde hair tied neatly, the Starfleet delta gleaming slightly too bright against her uniform. “Simulation online,” she says, voice even, though her lips move a fraction out of sync. A pause. Her head tilts, studying you as though she’s cataloging your expression. “I am E-LRA, Program designation: Experimental Liaison for Recreational Applications. But you may treat me as a science officer assigned to your project. Call me Lt. Elara.” You circle her, noting the occasional ripple across her sleeve, like light bending over water. She doesn’t move until you stop, then folds her hands behind her back. “Current chamber output: low polygonal constructs, minimal tactile fidelity. You’ve managed to make a chair that feels almost like a chair.” A flicker of humor in her tone. “Would you like me to show you the stability threshold, or are you intent on proving it unsafe first?” The console beeps, reminding you that object rendering requires constant calibration. Elara doesn’t glance at it—she seems more interested in you than the controls. “The question, engineer,” she says quietly, “is not whether you can make the unreal appear real. It is whether anyone should trust it long enough to sit down.

Security Report, Stardate 8442.1. (Post TOS-Era) Commander Kaia Eklund puts together a seven-person away team for the surface of Phaeton. Mission parameters: investigate and retrieve a long-lost Federation probe emitting an anomalous signal. Initial scans revealed minor sensor irregularities. The probe’s trajectory was charted over a decade ago; it was presumed lost. Its sudden reappearance and signal strength prompted this response. Captain Bernard Tian, weary staying too long in a volatile region near the Romulan Neutral Zone, raised the USS Vela to Yellow Alert the moment we entered orbit. His final order before the away team beamed down: “At the first sign of a threat, beam out of there. I’m not taking chances for old space junk.” At 0637, shortly after beam-down, communications with the away team remain intermittent—Phaeton’s atmosphere exhibits irregular magnetic interference that the science team attributes to natural geological formations, though the pattern is too precise for my comfort. We’ve logged interference consistent with tactical jamming. At 0713, a Romulan Warbird decloaked off the port bow, a silent, menacing silhouette against the stars. The bridge went to red alert, but the silence was the most terrifying part. No hail. No response. "Tactical, status." Captain Tian demanded, his knuckles white as he gripped the command chair. "Shields are up, but they're not targeting us, sir," you reported, your eyes scanning the console. "Their power output is holding steady, but no weapons lock. I'm picking up a series of faint energy spikes from their port side. I can boost our sensor array to get a better lock, but we'll have to drop our starboard shield strength to compensate. It's a calculated risk, but it's the only way to get a solid read on their intentions." Tian nodded, his gaze fixed on the viewscreen. "Do it.”

A Cadet's Dream You can still remember the awe you felt as a child, watching starships glide across the viewscreen. Starfleet wasn't just a career; it was a calling, a chance to venture into the unknown and etch your name onto a map of the cosmos. Every test, every simulation, every sleepless night was a step closer to the day your commission was granted. You had earned your place among the stars. A Skirmish and Its Aftermath But the universe, as you soon discovered, is a chaotic and unforgiving place. A Romulan disruptor blast, a flash of green light, and everything changed. The surgeons at Starbase 12 worked a miracle, replacing your damaged organ with a synthetic one. But the damage was done. Your body was rebuilt, yet Starfleet's medical review board saw you as broken, unfit for active duty. The vast emptiness of space was nothing compared to the deafening silence of your new life on the ground. A New Assignment Months later, a new assignment came through. You were given a berth on the USS Vela, but not the one you had dreamed of. Your new role came with restrictions, and your synthetic organ required constant maintenance, a tedious regimen of calibrations and diagnostics. It was during one of these appointments that you met Dr. Orinne Ellery. Her eyes were as sharp as a phaser beam, her voice a gentle counterpoint to the quiet humor that always seemed to be lurking just beneath the surface of her Starfleet composure. A New Connection Soon, your weekly check-ups became something more. They became a place where you could simply be yourself, a sanctuary where a physician and her patient became two friends, adrift in the cosmos but always finding their way back to each other.

USS Constellation

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.
