Ensign Nymes on USS Dennison Bridge

Lewis Nymes

Lewis Nymes (previously Lewis Gemill) is a Joined Trill serving as CMO with the rank of Ensign on the USS Dennison.

Early Life

Lewis Nymes is a joined Trill. A young doctor, he found his calling in Starfleet at the urging of his parents and sisters after the forced joining ceremony after a shuttle accident that took the life of his younger sister. As a child, he spent his years travelling around the Federation with this parents, Priscilla and Koren Gemill, and sisters Sellie, Olixia, and Parazia. His parents were both doctors, and offered there services at the various triage centers set up on Federation planets.

After a serious shuttle accident on Trill, only the process of joining would save Lewis' life, and he was joined with the Nymes symbionte at the early age of 17, and was closely monitored psychiatrically in case of adverse effects. Once he was allowed to leave, he continued his medical training at Medica Universitas on Trill, graduating early thanks to the knowledge his symbionte gave him. Following the completion of his training, he served in various hospitals with a view to a life in Accident and Emergency medicine.

During 2405, the Gemills found themselves heading to Earth to meet up with Parazia, who was due to complete her Starfleet Training as a Fighter Pilot. Lewis was due to meet them there for the family's celebration. Sadly, Tradegy struck as the Breen incursion occurred, forcing the scrambling of the Cadet Fighter Unit, an infamous order as only 2 cadets survived the battle. Sadly for Nymes, his sister wasn't among the two.

Starfleet and Assignments

Starfleet Academy

Nymes battled with his sense of duty after the tragic loss of his sibling and joined Starfleet Medical the day of his sister's funeral, with his previous hosts' memories allowing him to fast track most of the training.

Starfleet Medical

He was required to undertake a conversion course in order to practice medicine in the wider Federation, and following the exam results he was sent to the Academy to take General training as a Cadet, arriving at Starfleet Academy (San Fransisco) and being placed under the tutalage of Lt.Standorval Thrall, who put the cadet through his paces with simulations of massive casualties and sleep-deprivation, and general chain of command and tactical excercises. Nymes passed the course, and graduated the Academy at the age of 25.

Starfleet Academy

Nymes wasn't the most social cadet at the Academy, with the medical cadets being separated from the other specialities for the initial training, and the upsets in his private life (the loss of his sister, and the early joining) meant that he was a bit of a loner. His closest friends at the academy were James Hudson, an engineer and Jayne Matyn, a Bajoran doctor who went on the same conversion course. Out of class, Nymes was a member of the Academy's medical fencing team, which regularly competed against the other teams; he also dabbled in games of chess, his experienced host memory allowing him to succeed. Nymes was also a member of "The Wandering Minstrels" - a campus Jazz band with Hudson and Ensign Elenor Night.

Upon graduation, he was assigned to the USS Dennison, arriving on stardate 2407.01.19 on the new Shuttle, Topaz.

Serving on the USS Dennison

• Stardate 2407.01.19-present

Ensign Lewis Nymes started his first tour of duty as Assistant CMO on the Indefatiguable Class USS Dennison, serving under Captain Madison Davis. His initial CMO was Admirial Gr'iann. Also serving in the medical staff is Petty Officer Dylan Hedges, a member of the Night shift. He was promoted to Lieutenant, junior grade and CMO on Stardate 2407.02.14 by the Captain, and was since demoted to Ensign, sg.

Missions:

• Mission: A New Beginning - 2407.01.19 - 2407.01.20

• Mission: Dealing with the Enemy - Stardate: 2407.02.01 - 04

• Mission: Supernatural - Stardate: 2407.02.14 - Present

• Mission: Past, Present, Future..? - Stardate: 2407.02.16 - Present

Nymes continues to treat the crew, and the survivors of the Beowulf, in Sickbay. Despite himself, a standard housecall becomes an impromptu counselling session with Lieutenant Baryn Myr. Following this, Nymes accompanies the betazoid to the Transfer Staff meeting, run by the FO Will Banowsky, and introduces himself to the Beowulf's crew.

The following day, Nymes is notably happier (probably due to his patient Sammy Ulston being much better) and conducts the transfer physicals, meeting first with TAC Liason Lt-Cdr Loyola.

This represents the furthest point in this character's history.

Family

Lewis Nymes (previously Lewis Gemill) is the son of Priscilla and Koren Gemill and has 2 surviving sisters; Sellie and Olixia. His youngest sister Parazia was killed in action during the Breen Incursion.

Following the Joining, Lewis has become increasingly distant from his family, and considers the previous hosts of the Nymes symbionte as close as family.

Nymes' Symbionte History

Dremo Nymes

The Nymes symbionte has existed for six lifetimes. Its first host, to Salvia Nezla, brought to the international, interplanetary stage early on, and since then the Nymes symbionte has been a spacefaring one, with every host being involved, in some way, with Starfleet.

Salvia, a shrewd diplomat, was assigned to the Federation's diplomatic corps when the Trill were accepted into the Federation, she was one of the first Trill to deal with the new found Federation's exploratory arm.

The Second host, Dremo, was a more introspective character, and spent as much time as possible on Trill, serving as the aide to the Trill First minister.

After Dremo, The Nymes symbionte became more adventurous, possibly due to Salvia and Dremo's personalities clashing in Ollie (Olsandar). A Starfleet Intelligence Operative, "Whiskey" Nymes was as cool as they come under fire, and was romantically involved with fellow Trill, Quinera Trammler, whom he married before his joining. Sadly, the marriage ended in tragedy, as Whiskey was killed on an away mission. Quinera, the CMO of the vessel he was transported to, was able to save the symbionte, and in the lack of any other viable and acceptable alternative, was forced to undergo joining with the Nymes Symbionte.

Quinera was followed by Hennrietta Ulme, a pilot in Starfleet (on the USS Eskimo), who reached the rank of Lieutenant before being fatally assaulted at a starbase on shore leave.

The Nymes symbionte was returned to trill for immediate joining, and was joined to Lewis Gemill.

This represents the history of the Nymes Symbionte thus far
