Personal History:
Growing up and "discovering " the Federation Murray immediately felt a need to be a part of Starfleet. Being told the stories by his parents about some of Starfleet's exploits, discovery and first contacts with all the races that were out there. It sounded like a dream come true. So he enlisted into the academy, training in piloting and communications (which in turn sent him packing to serve on DS 14). Murray easily made new friends there was a certain charm about him. While off duty he decided to head to the lounging area and meet a few friends for a drink. There his life would change.

After ordering his first drink a young Klingon named K'thar and a
human named Miles approach Murray. K'thar and Miles both knowing how Murray's quick wit and charm was popular among the people he was around was asked if he would be willing to partake in a small "joke". Never giving it a second though Murray accepted. He was to pick up a box of Tribbles and deliver it to Urthena Dlaxanna the newest member aboard the station. He thought this to be a little weird for a practical joke but did it nonetheless. Upon reaching the chambers of Urthena, Murry tripped and landed onto the box opening the container. Inside was a liquid that poured onto the ground that was flammable upon contact of Oxygen and soon burst into large flames. Murray got caught in the lames and was badly burnt over 75 % of his body, thanks to the quick response of the security team Murray was pulled out and the fire was soon contained. Murray was quickly sent to the medical lab. Placed under a stasis field generator in order to let the doctor more time to get set to perform the operation. With Murray's permission a test procedure was done where some cybernetic implants have been used to join the nerves back together and covering his body with a new enhanced "skin " *though his hearing has been damaged and is now at half capacity*. The enhanced skin and nerve endings Granting him quicker than average reflexes and body armor. A week after this event Security arrested all 3 K'thar and Miles and Murray. It was revealed at the trial Via Video data that Murray had been setup and was never a part of the actual conspiracy. Now with a full pardon from Starfleet he is back and ready to serve.
