Stella has had a very lonely life. She was a gifted child and spent
her childhood buried in intellectual study. Her parents thought
they were helping her by pushing her. Eventually she was accepted
into a highly regarded school devoted to the study of physics and
related sciences on Vulcan. It was at this school that she met a
young Roy Meek. He was younger than her by four years and she had
very little interest. However, when she was assigned to him as a
tutor she began to truly care for her. Roy was also a gifted scientist
and intellectual, but Stella towered over him. She was the better
with science, but he was more skilled in life. Unlike her he had
aspirations beyond books and statistics. When they were married
he took Stella with him on his adventure. With his advanced intellect
he was easily admitted into Star Fleet Academy. Although military
life was hard and different for both of them Roy graduated with
honors. He was then stationed on DS10 for two years as Chief Eng.
And later aboard the USS Geneva, it was here that he acquired a
reputation as a great engineer. He was soon recalled to earth and
offered a position at the academy teaching. He was one of the youngest
men in history to become a full professor. Stella took a job with
a leading civilian research company and excelled. Fifteen years
later they had their first and only child--Justin.
Justin Meek
*Starfleet Academy*
Justin's parents were already the age of his peer's grandparents
when he was born. His father and mother had became wealthy and gained
the respect of virtually everyone in the scientific community. His
mother pushed him toward science, hoping he would follow her lead,
but because of his father's position he was practically raised at
the academy. Although his mother tutored him at home his heart was
in the stars from as early as he can remember. When he was accepted
at the academy, for reasons even he did not totally understand,
he chose to study Security and Tactical. His parents were furious,
they had tutored him and worked with him for years and now he was
throwing it away! Maybe he felt like he needed something that was
just his, something he was better at then they were? In spite of
all that he still ended up with as many classes in Engineering as
someone studying to be an engineer. Because of his parents lessons
he was able to test out of the first two years worth of Engineering
classes offered at the academy. No one knew what make of him. Was
he a tactical or an engineering officer? As a result he fit into
neither group and was an outsider. After graduating he spent several
months at the academy tutoring because they were short on qualified
people.
*USS-Defender*
Justin’s excitement
about joining the crew of a starship was short lived to say the
least. He had not even had a chance to unpack his bag before he
heard that a crewman had been torn limb from limb in some kind of
sick murder. In the days a head he and the entire crew were terrorized
by an invisible beast on board the ship. Justin was nearly killed
by the thing before the ship even launched!!
After the beast
had been dealt with Justin began to truly settle down into his new
role as Chief Engineer. He had been a little disappointed when he
was offered the CEO position. He had asked for the tactical officers
job, but at the time the Defender was in greater need of an Engineer
and he got the job. It took a while but he came to love his work
and his crew. He started to treat the Defender like it was one of
his children.
It was hard on Justin
when an incident involving Dr. Stolovan, a research scientist, took
him planet side for several days separated from his ship. The good
doctor had found an old, yet very advanced, piece of technology
that had driven him more than a little insane. Some of the Defender’s
crew were actually eaten alive by the thing. Justin and his team
were nearly killed by an angry computer. At this point Justin was
separated from the normal chain of command and got his first real
taste of what it means to be responsible for people lives. Justin
lost some of his crew on during that mission and the experience
has continues to stick with him.
By this point Justin
had become a full Lieutenant and was comfortable with command. When
the Defender was send to investigate a distress call in the Gamma
quadrant Justin really got to test his engineering ability. The
ship was nearly lost when the planet they were orbiting exploded
and they were hit with the shockwave. It was all Justin and his
team could do to keep the ship in one piece. As a result of the
incident Starfleet investigated one of Justin’s engineering officers.
The one black mark
Justin has on his record was put there during that investigation.
The whole ship was under a lot of stress due to the questioning
being done by the investigators. One night, after having too much
to drink, Justin confronted one of the investigators in the mess
hall. Justin ended up losing his temper and having to report himself
to the Captain the next morning. Captain Aryn was more than generous
and took it easy on Justin, but Justin has not had a drink since.
He is determined never to allow himself to lose control of himself
like that again. Justin has been privately practicing Vulcan meditation
techniques ever since then. Justin has managed to gain the respect
of his engineers and crewmates. He looks up to his commander and
looks forward to the challenges ahead.
