| Personal History | Past --------- Growing up in a small town in Texas, Bree was the youngest of the three kids, and the only girl. Protected by her older twin brothers, Derrick and Dustin they made sure she knew how to handle herself no matter what. Her parents, Galin and Susan, owned a cattle ranch. An odd thing in this day and age, yet they still believed in the old ways and wanted to keep the idea of eating fresh produce alive, a healthy respect that they instilled in all their children. Of course their mother made sure they also all knew how to cook, something that Bree became passionate about, along with horseback riding, as it enabled her to become closer to her mother. While both their parents hoped the kids would one day take over the ranch and keep it in the family, only Dustin had the desire to do that. She and Derrick wanted other things, and that was to join Starfleet. For him, it was security... for her... well, it had been a toss up. After graduating high school, she was surprised by the fact that her long term boyfriend, Jason, had also decided to go into Starfleet. With bags packed and a tearful goodbye, she headed off to the Academy. *********************************** Academy ----------- At 18, she joined Starfleet Academy... right out of high school. She was one of those young ambitious kids, setting to prove herself to her family and anyone else she needed to. Life wasn't a bed of roses for her though. While she made some great friends, she also learned the hard way that love hurts. For nine years Jason and Bree had been a couple. The couple everyone thought would end up with the happily ever after. But no, while she was busy focusing on her finals, he was busy enjoying her best friend. Something she found out about the hard way when she'd decided a break from studying was needed and headed over to Samatha's dorm room to see about going out for a drink. Finding the two of them in bed, Bree told them they could have each other. Before she headed back to her room and threw herself back into her studies once more. Four years at the Academy, she had been torn between Engineering and Science. So she finally decided to settle on both, after all... isn't there a science to how things work? Majoring in Engineering, she minored in science. ********************************** Astraeus Station After graduating from the Academy, she was sent to the Astraeus Station to be mentored by Lieutenant Moged Dellox in Engineering. The Trill had lifetimes of things to teach her, and she did her best to soak it all up. One of the biggest lessons she was forced to learn was that sometimes people can hurt you, especially the ones you care about the most. Her ex-boyfriend Jason showed up on the station after a few months, begging for a chance to talk to her. After much persistence on his part, Bree relented and agreed to have one dinner with him, where he had some explaining to do. During the dinner, Bree was reminded why she’d loved him so much, and after a very long weekend together in a room - Bree decided to give him another chance. Things were going really well, and it was almost like they’d picked up where they’d left off from three years back. Indeed, things were going so well, that after six months, Bree discovered that she was pregnant with their child. She was so happy, it was the signal that finally, Jason and her could be a family, like she’d always wanted. Alas, it was not to be. Not long after the three month mark into her pregnancy, she discovered that Jason had been talking to Samantha behind her back. What’s more, his recent business trips had been to go see her, and that Samantha herself was actually seven months pregnant with Jason’s child. Horrified, heartbroken, distraught and betrayed - Bree kicked Jason out and banished him never to set foot anywhere near her again. Barely a few days after this event, she was slated to go on an away mission. If she’d had any sense whatsoever, she would have spoken to her supervising officer about what had happened, or a Counsellor. She should not have gone on the mission, as she was emotionally compromised. However, being a young, naive and silly girl only a year out of the Academy, she made the wrong choice. The away mission went south very quickly, and Bree made a number of extremely poor choices, getting herself into serious trouble with the locals. During their haisty evacuation, the Away Team Leader was killed trying to get Bree out of harm's way. As they raced to the shuttle, Bree took a plasma blast to the stomach, resulting in a severe injury. Once back aboard the station, she was informed that the injury had been severe, and that her unborn child had been killed as a result. An inquiry was carried out by the JAG Corps into the events on the away mission, and the report came down very heavily on Bree’s actions on the mission. It also criticised her superior officers for not noting her condition prior to selecting her for such a sensitive mission, and Bree herself for not disclosing important information to either her commanding officer or a medical professional. Bree was given an official reprimand on her file, as well as being reduced in rank to Ensign. With everything that had happened, the death of her child, the loss and betrayal of her lover, the death of her comrade, and the emotional strain she was under - it all became too much. Two days after the inquest was concluded, Bree had a minor emotionall breakdown. She was simply incapable of doing anything, and curled up inside herself, unable to function. After being evaluated by the station’s medical and counselling staff, Bree was transferred to a rest facility to recover. She was visited frequently by her parents, brothers, and Lt Dellox - her former mentor. Slowly, but surely, she pulled herself out of her depression and psychosis. Eighteen months later, she was certified fit for light duty. This was when even more problems began to cause her issues. Bree was considered a bit of a lost cause in the fleet community, and she kept getting poor assignments. She was attached to a repair crew for deep space buoys, which was tedious and unproductive. After nine months, she was then assigned to a small ship that did Sol System runs. It was effectively a dead-end assignment, with no hope of anything happening. But, somehow, she ended up on the radar of a Vice Admiral in Starfleet, who seemed to take pity on her. This Admiral Vernon fellow arranged for her to be assigned to the USS Centaurus, where she’d be given a second chance, as her Chief Engineer. Before she left for her new assignment, Lt Dellox gave her a parting gift - a small black kitten named Snowball. It was a touching reminder to her that things in life aren't always what they may seem to be. ********************************* Astraeus Station ----------------- After graduating from the Academy, she was sent to the Astraeus Station to be mentored by Lieutenant Moged Dellox in Engineering.
