Personal History

Childhood and adolescence

Derek was found abandoned near a Starfleet base in Seattle, North America, Earth. No one knows who his parents were or why they left him there. Derek was raised by a Marine that found him. This Marine was General Thomas Driscoll, the eventual Governer of Deridous IV.

Starfleet - from Marine to Corpsman

A young man, Derek entered a series of military academies before enlisting into the Starfleet Marine Corps. Whilst he learned to shoot and kill he grew to loathe the violence inherent to the job. While he is not a pacifist by any means Derek prefers not to use a weapon unless he absolutely has to.

During the Dominion War Derek saw most of his platoon get killed or wounded. Derek did his best to save them but there were no survivors.

After being finished with Combat once and for all, Derek asked for reassignment to the Deridous IV colony then governed by Gen. Driscoll (ret.). There he transfered into the Naval ranks to become a Corpsman. Derek decided to mend the harm done by people rather then cause them. After a few years, he left with his intrepid Sloth Monkey Companion "Marty". [see section below]

Derek still awakes at night screaming as he dreams about what happened. He can be seen to rub his arms as if to wash off the blood that at times he feels still covers them.

2384

SCPO Derek Driscoll was reassigned to the USS Swiftsure, to serve in the Perseus Arm Operation as Medical Corpsman.

Special Section

Sloth Monkeys

"Sloth Monkeys show signs of a rudimentary intelligence and a limited ability to use simple tools. They are extremely curious and have a tendancy to be constantly underfoot.

The creatures have never been observed to harm a colonist or Starfleet member, however they are fierce hunters and are the main predator of the Gi-Ants. They hunt in packs and are very coordinated. They use simple tactics despite using no apparent form of communication. Occasionally they will make chittering noises and when agitated they will scream and babble. The Universal Translator has so far been unable to make sense of the sounds and it is unlikely that there is coherent sense.

There is a theory that these creatures communicate telepathically, however no telepathic contact has been made by any race, be they Vulcan or Betazoid. In fact the Betazoids are unable to sense any emotions from them at all, a possible sign of mental shielding. Their motivations are unknown.
