Editing Jennifer Bates (section)

== Starfleet History ==

Jennifer completed her formation in science (subspace mechanics) at Starfleet Academy in San Francisco. As she started to get acquainted with her new surrounding, the high expectation, very intellectual and relatively strict atmosphere she grew into make her become tired of being the good girl. She started rather on the wrong foot at the academy, missing classes and dating guys much at the disarray of her family and more especially, her twin sister. This is how she got acquainted with a 3rd year student who had two times her age, [[Syuvik]]. At that time, Syuvik had been struggling with emotions and was rather insubordinate with the instructors of the Academy. He was a rather bad influence on her, until he told her, before he left the academy, not to waste her life like he was. Once he left, Jennifer kind of returned to the good girl she had been known at Harvard. 

Jennifer graduated in 2400 and was assigned to the [[USS Noble]] as a science officer. She served there for six years. When her future husband died in 2406, she took a leave of absence and spent the next eleven months trying to cope with the loss. She finally returned to Starfleet (and the USS Noble) in the middle of 2407. Having left for close to a year, she lost her position as aCSO and has to accept to be a simple science officer. So when the position was available on the [[USS Mithrandir]] nine months later, she transferred there. She served on the ship a bit more than four years, having the time to see it be from a Defiant-class to a Nova-class to a Luna-class ship. She also was reunited with her good friends Syuvik when he was assigned as Chief of Security in 2413. At first, she couldn't recognize him such he had changed, for the best. Jennifer being one of the rare person to have known him when he was still a v'tosh ka'tur, that gave her a proximity to Syuvik no one ever had. When the USS Mithrandir was retired of service, she was recruited by Starfleet Intelligence. She spent the following three months following extensive training. As she was more the bureaucratic type than the operative one, her job at Starfleet Intelligence were to write reports and summary for Starfleet Intelligence executive officers. Being both determined and very hard working, she got noticed by [[Vice-Admiral Thinn]] who recruited her in his team of advisors and moved to his offices on [[Starbase 718]]. 

When Vice-Admiral Thinn was assigned to [[Quezal]] to investigate the explosion, Jennifer followed him there. She was responsible for supervising the work done by the Quezalth scientists at the capital and report it to her superior. 

When the [[USS Soval]] was called for a special mission, because of her affinity with the captain, [[Syuvik]], Jennifer was tasked to serve as a Liaison officer between them and Starfleet Intelligence. So, while still a member of Starfleet Intelligence, she is now part of the crew of the USS Soval.
