| Personal History | Anthony and Marcus were born on March the third, in the year of our Lord, twenty-three fifty-five and they went from place to place on various assignments, their mother, who in the epitome of her arrogance even gave her second son, his fathers name so he had a place to start, it was something she believed that Jeff Duval would have preferred. Anthony grew up the second child of Olympia Vale who before she was killed was assigned to Starbase Ninety Eight but after she was killed, he was sent to stay with his father who accepted both boys eagerly as they were his flesh and blood. For years it was always the three of them but Duval had to leave his children with family friends as he was an active duty Marine and he wasn't prepared to sacrifice his career. However after the battle in the Wolf system. Jeffery Duval met T'Nae, a Vulcan beauty who interested him and fascinated the boys who regarded her with a great deal of apprehension, however, T'Nae reassured them that she would not demand anything of them as they were their father's children and she was merely dating their father. Over time. T'Nae earned the respect and trust of the two boys as the knew fully well that she was an intruder and she needed to earn their trust and respect, but she managed it especially she informed them that she would become a mother for them, should they require her to do so. Marcus and Anthony both found her to be more emotional then the average Vulcan, when she made it clear that she had been brain damaged, they didn't understand but she took care to inform them of the subject even though she didn't need to, once they understood exactly what it was their new mom dealt with, they quickly became very protective and attention of her, something T'Nae found to be very endearing of them. When Both boys were eighteen one of them went off to the academy and then second enlisted as an Engineer but not before bidding farewell to the women their both had come to think of as their mother. Starfleet History: Anthony enlisted when it looked like the coming conflict with the Dominion might turn hot, things with the Cardassians had been deteriorating for months and thus he was in Starfleet, just heading out to his first assignment when the first shots of the Dominion War were fired at Torros Three and Deep Space Nine. His first posting was to the USS Steadfast, a Galaxy class ship that saw a lot of fighting in the early part of the war with Anthony learning a lot in one sitting, he survived Tyra and the first fight in the Vulcan system and he was present for Operation Return. It is said that in all things, luck plays a part and while the Steadfast gave a good accounting of herself, she was severely damaged in the battle, she had to be towed back from the field to a Federation starbase for some serious repairs. Anthony was offered a transfer to another ship as he had indicated he wanted to be in the field, rather then in dock so he left the Steadfast and went over to the USS Nigeria, one of the newer Akira class ships to enter active service in the last few years, it was here that Anthony would carry on fighting the Dominion alongside newly commissioned ships like the Sovereign to century-old Excelsior's like the Bill of Rights. Anthony was present for the Battle of Coridan and later, the battle of Chin'toka. For the second time in the war, the Dominion had managed to cripple another ship out from under Anthony's feet, this one, however, couldn't be saved and she was a complete loss, this blow was telling for Anthony as it only stoked the fires of hatred. He was posted to the USS Rappahannock, she would prove to be his last posting in the war and it was here where his relationship with his father began to bloom, the two could stand to be around each other without harsh words said in anger but the war once again raised its ugly head with the battle of the three suns, just weeks before the final fight of the war which would see Anthony lose friends and almost lose his own life too. He ended the war much as he had begun it, in the bowls of a ship fixing it, he simply shrugged off the news citing work he needed to do to keep the Rappahannock flying, she had been badly damaged in the final battle to end the war. But against all the odds, victory was theirs and life could go on, for those who survived. the dead were mourned and the peace treaty was signed, the ink was from the blood of the fallen so to speak and life went on. Anthony for his part mourned the loss of his friends, but he remained on the Rappahannock for another six months before he, getting weary of endless patrol assignments, opted for reassignment and went off to the Chattanooga, she too was an Akira class starship and Anthony adapted well to life aboard her, with her various assignments from convoy duty to medical assistance missions with the odd exploration mission thrown into the stew for good measure, life aboard her was a wee bit more cheerful than the Rappahannock. He also decided to expand his education here on this assignment so he decided to an online course for warp field mechanics, a second followed for warp core repairs and maintenance, both of them took two years apiece to complete. He was midway through the second course when he was posted to a much older ship in the fleet, the USS Kingston, under the command of a friend of his fathers. It was here that he again would come into contact with his father, now a Gunnery Sergeant assigned to the Pillar of Autumn-A, the two men would remain in contact quite frequently as Anthony decided to let the man prove his worth. Father and son now get along quite well, it took a lot for Anthony to accept his father's side of events and the fact that Jeff Duval was persistent but most important, his story never changed regarding why he was never there. In the end, however, Anthony realized that there was more to the story then he had been told by his mother, so he opted to give his father a chance. In 2383, he was reassigned to Starbase 45, it was here that he would form several long-lasting friendships and relationships with the personnel assigned to the base, none the least of which was the bases commanding officer, one Captain Talon Hunt as well as the sector Admiral, Rear Admiral Jerome Hunt. He would call the base home, from that point going forward so for him whenever he went home, it would be to Starbase 45. While he was assigned to the base, he was offered a commission as an officer due to his service record. He accepted and was made a Lieutenant junior grade His next posting was the officer candidate school as he had been awarded a commission. he was here for three months before he passed and gained a commission before heading off to the refitted USS Nebula which had only now just been refitted up to state of the art specifications, including type XIV phaser's and the new heavy quantum torpedo, also the Nebula was fitted with a brand new shield system, in some cases this ship was better than brand new. He would spend several months assisting in shaking this ship down of her bugs and glitches. His next assignment was a temporary one, he was transferred from Starbase 45 to the USS Tempest, an Andromeda Class starship where he remained for several months because he was helping to shake this ship down. He and his crew spent months working on her bugs when they turned up. Duval served on the USS Tempest for nine months before he went off to the USS Galileo for a temp assignment to bring her numbers up to acceptable levels, however, he departed after six months because his assignment here was completed. Duval was offered a chance to attend the research and development school on Luna, he accepted and spent eight months here, most of it was catch up but he succeeded with the workload and passed. Duval's next assignment was the USS Dreamcrusher as a member of the research and development team aboard the ship. However eighteen months later, he was promoted to become the Chief Engineer on the USS Heart of the Tiger. His girlfriend went with him to become the ships new Chief of Operations so they could be together. Medical History: Anthony has been injured on duty several times. mostly as a result of the Dominion War. However he has few lasting effects of the war, most notably several scars he has opted to keep rather than have removed. So I might as well certify him as fit for duty, However, I have concerns about his mental state but he does not see fit to share anything with me, I will keep an eye on him. - Commander Lisa Bolton, USS Nebula. |
