Dark Secret (genetic construct)
Personality: Adam has learned to keep to himself, mostly
due to the danger of being revealed, and partly because other
people, through no fault of their own, have a habit of removing
what little control Adam has over his own life. He has become
concerned over how many versions of his history exist. A recent
attempt at opening up to an individual (Cdr. Kathleen Morrison)
failed terribly, and it may be some time before Adam can try
again. He keeps very few friends, but he puts a great deal of
trust in those he can call friends, for he has no other choice.
As a pilot, he demonstrates skill without being cocky.
In an incident that brought to life each crewmember's innermost desires, Adam was a natural born human on a shoreleave that coincided with the shoreleave of his wife Jessica, who brought along their two young children Shirow and Leona. They celebrated Adam's 35th birthday before his shoreleave was cancelled and he was called away on duty.
Background (Starfleet Records): Adam was born on New Kyoto,
a colony cylinder orbiting Jupiter and constructed before the
Federation was formed. After a relatively comfortable childhood
spent entirely in New Kyoto, he attended Starfleet Academy and
graduated as a helmsman along with then-Cadet James Benson (tactical).
Their cadet cruise on the USS Sarratoga was cut short by the
First Solar Borg Incursion, and each managed to make their way to
escape pods as the Sarratoga was destroyed at Wolf 359. A short
rehabilitation period certified Adam for duty once more. He had
one tour patrolling the Cardassian border, then an exploratory
mission aboard the USS Horizon. When the Horizon lost life
support and offloaded its crew to an uninhabited world between
the Federation and Cardassian borders, Adam left Starfleet and
remained planetside, assumedly until the Cardassian takeover of
that world. Six years after leaving the fleet, having missed the
Dominion war, Adam returned to active duty and was assigned to an
exploratory vessel, the USS Galileo. Its near destruction in the
sector formerly known as Walled Space transferred him to the USS
Epimethius testbed vessel. When Captain (then Commander) James
Hansen captured the USS Sutter from rogue Starfleet Intelligence
elements, he requested that Adam be taken aboard as the chief
helm officer for the newly renamed ship, USS Backlash. The chief
counsellor of that ship logged that he dealt abnormally well with
meeting his alternate self from the mirror dimension.
Background (Starfleet Intelligence, late 2276): Our operative Duran Abandar reports that Adam T. Daystrom was genetically altered shortly after birth in an attempt to correct several unspecified defects. The process succeeded in correcting those defects, but resulted in a cellular instability requiring daily injections to remain intact.

Advanced Research Project Report
Year End 2368
Project 29: Adam Unit A3 CLOSED
A3 was the most successful of the 15 beings created by the Adam
project to create an artificial organic human. Most of the 15
ceased function before or shortly after activation from the
maturation chamber. One comitted suicide two years after
emergence, and another can exist only in a laboratory environment.
A3 spent much of his time exploring his nature and the nature of
the human mind. He determined that he could learn little when
confined to the laboratory and subjected to constant tests. On
the fourth anniversary of his emergence, A3 escaped.
A3 is not perfect. His cellular structure is unstable and
requires daily injections of a stabilization compound. Some
chemicals, notably alcohol (injested) and raw replicator base
material (contact) cause his structure to destabilize rapidly.
Destabilization manifests itself as intense nausea, followed by
liquification of internal organs, loss of active mental functions,
and death.
His location is unknown. The manner of his demise would attract
attention, though, and since we have not heard of such an event,
we can assume he is still alive.

Background (The Truth): Adam is a genetic
construct. Some confuse this with being a clone, which would be a
copy of some other being or beings. The Adam Project DNA was
designed from the ground up to be a perfectly average human. The
project failed with only a few survivors, none of which could
survive without some kind of chronic medical treatment. As soon
as he could, Adam escaped to another colony cylinder near Jupiter,
#25 "New Kyoto". Barely able at first to deal with the
1.2 Earth gravities of the New Kyoto underground, he made a few
friends in data acquisition and alteration circles (read: some
good hackers) who created a fictional background and citizenship
for him. He then signed up to become a Starfleet officer, mostly
to get away from Sol.
The Borg incursion and the explosive end of his cadet cruise left
a profound mark on Adam, who to this day remains extremely
cautious of those with cybernetic implants, even more so than
most Federation citizens.
When the USS Horizon was disabled, Adam found himself on a
beautiful planet teeming with life, and decided to leave
Starfleet to go find out who he really was. There he met a
primitive race of telepathic rat-creatures who communicated by
transmitting mental images. He lived near them for several years,
violating the Prime Directive several times over by teaching one
of the rat-creatures just what was out there. When the
Cardassians took over that region of space, Adam went planet-hopping,
searching for a similar place to explore.
Adam heard little of the Dominion war. Shortly after its end,
Adam rejoined Starfleet and was assigned to the USS Galileo,
which lead to his current assignment.

don't even know who you are! So I'm sorry if I don't
seem appreciative for all you've done for me."
