Conventional Wisdom:
CPT Carlbom: Scuttlebutt says he's a Kzinshai Ground Forces veteran. Nasty situation that, so who knowns what baggage he's carrying? On the other hand, he seems to have a sense of humor and seems to be genuinely caring about the crew. The only real complaint we have is he tend to do unannounced drop in's in the labs to see whats going on.
CMDR Johannson: You know the old joke about Ice Queens. She fits it to a tee. Arrogant and demanding. Problem is that she's got the skills to be arrogant. That being said, she tends to expect a level of competence from her people and leaves you to your work and assumes that if you say that you need help, you mean it and will go out of her way to see that you get it.
LT CMDR Dunnaly: Heard she's from Valley Marinaris and grew up rough, so she's a bit on the hard-bitten side, but she's a good navigator and has served with the Captain since her cadet cruise. The Captain is trying to push her into the Commanders Chair, for eventual promotion.
Lt CMDR Stengovich: The humans say he's 'Polish' or something and seems to have some form of tribal argument with the Security Chief. Be that as it may, he helped design the upgrades to the warp engines and seems to take critique fairly well, one could say fatalistically, but apparently most 'Poles' tend to be like this.
CMDR Thelin: A Starfleet Liaison with the Interspecies Medical Exchange for several years, he seems to have a fair handle on various forms of Xeno-medicine and nano-medicine. A bit scatter-brained at times, but otherwise competent.
LT SG Patel: Working on her Doctorate on Compartitive Xenobiology, (something on the preserver Thesis from what I've heard), she's from the Indian subcontinent. And apparently wanted out of there as fast as possible. Something about an arranged marriage. That being said she's easy on the eyes and is a 'up' sort of person.
Major Sergetov: Okay, this guy officially creeps most of the crew out. Apparently he's a Ground Force veteran like the captain and has seen action verses the Klingons and the Kzinti. Something about his eyes. The Psyche's says he's okay, if a bit intense, but in his job that's a plus, I'd think. But his eyes. It's like he's sizing you up for a coffin.
Lt SG Hussien: Pretty good sort al around. He tend to be a bit self-conscious at his job. Don't blame him tho, particularly the nasty reputation transporters have gotten. He seems to know what he's going, but yer not getting me in one of those things….
Ensign Li: Overworked, underpaid, overstressed, underappreciated. Pretty much your standard yeoman. Seems to have her hooks into the ship's pulse though. Tends to know things before anyone else. Including those things you'd really rather she not know.
MCPO Harrison: He could get to higher rank, but apparently isn't in the mood to play political games and knows half the damned Admiralty. He runs a tight Below Decks and takes guff from no one. Do your job and he'll back you up. Screw up…and Hell will come forth upon you.
PO Cranston: You must understand, They are HER shuttles. She is the chief in charge of their repair and care. She understands occasionally that they will get beaten up, but you screw one up when screwing around…she needs more maintenance crew….
PO Skolnik: Colorful sort who got on the bad side on an Admiral back when he was a CPO and called the Admiral 'ignorant'. That being said, he knows every system aboard the 'Chicago'. Even more than the CE, which probably annoys the CE to no end. Has a habit of speaking before he thinks too. But it's no worse than dealing with a grumpy Tellarite.
A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.
