BACKGROUND . |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| William Patton was born at a Lunar mining facility where he
father was employed as a miner and his mother as a Computer Technician. He saw
little of his father during his childhood. His father was always off chasing the
next job, the next pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. He, however, had a very close
relationship to his mother. She saw to his upbringing and education. As she
moved from position to position, Bill learned each new computer system his mother was
working on. By his early teens, he could operate any computer system, really make
them "stand up and dance." At the age of ten, he learned that his father
was killed in a bar-room fight on Mars. His mother died when he was sixteen, when
the shuttle (returning from Earth) she was on was penetrated by a piece of debris in
orbit. The shuttle was lost with all hands. Two weeks later, Bill presented
himself to the Starfleet Marine recruiting station and lying about his age managed
to enlist as a rifleman. Bill spent the next ten years in the Starfleet Marine Corps. Quite naturally he earned the nickname "Wild Bill". He found that he enjoyed the adventure and responsibility of the Service. His natural ability and intelligence lead to his rapid advancement. By the time of his resignation in 2396, he had attained the rank of Marine Captain with multiple qualification certificates and Awards. Many of the operations he participated in during his Marine service are still under secrecy seal. Details are available to those with appropriate clearance through the Commandant Starfleet Marine Corps. After a significant battle injury he meet and married his wife, Shania Townsend. She was a nurse at Starbase One. The two meet while Bill was recovering from wounds incurred during one of the many "peace-keeping" operations he participated in. For a couple of years Bill had been becoming more cynical about the role the Marine Corps was playing in "keeping the peace." He was searching for a way to improve the lot of the average Federation citizen, those who lived and died by the actions of an authority increasingly out of contact. The death of his wife the following year in childbirth, crystalized his resolve. He resigned from the Marine Corps. He took the qualifying exams for the Leonard McCoy Medical School on Mars and scored in the top ten percent. He was admitted to the medical school at full scholarship and graduated number eight in a class of two hundred. William spent the next seven years working through the
Federation Red Cross and the Federation Center for Disease Control, responding to crisis
and disaster throughout the Federation. He also had some contact with Federation
Intelligence during this period. One year was spent in advanced training on the
Klingon Homeworld at the Imperial School of Medicine. He came to realize that most
of the crisis that required his attention were not natural, but the result of political
and military decisions and actions. He came to believe that the only way to influence such
events was to be one of those present at the decision points of history. That meant
Starfleet, since only that service covered the entire Galaxy. Thanks to his varied
posting during this period, Bill has acquired and maintained a vast network of
"old-boy" friends that he William scored as high on the entrance exams for Starfleet Academy as he did for medical school. He was the oldest member in his class and because of his previous Marine service he completed the course work in three years instead of the usual four.

PERSONALITY PROFILE . |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Commander Patton is very open in social situations. He has
a warm and welcoming manner. He loves teaching and training of his staff and anyone else
that he can get to stand still long enough His only evidence of hesitation occurs
with those whom he considers too "gung-ho" or too ready to spend the lives of
their crew for too little gain. He is even more vocal about those who place career
advancement above all else. Despite his service and life history, Bill retains a sense of
promise, duty, and personal responsibility to leave things a little better tomorrow than
they are today. He goes quietly about his duties, becoming agitated only with
obstructions. Since the death of his wife sixteen years ago, he has immersed himself
in his work and the dreams/ideals that she often expressed. He carries a small
holo-projected program of her where ever he is posted. Even sixteen years later,
Bill will find himself in tears when he talks about her and the son who did not survive
his birth. He also carries a collection of real-paper books, mostly military history, and a small collection of antique firearms with him on his postings. There is a small walnut case containing all his Marine decorations which also accompanies him. Other possessions mean very little to him. They are only important in that they allow him to perform his job. Bill's one real recreational passion is hologaming famous military encounters of the past. He has become very proficient at programing these simulations. Some of his programs are used for training purposes both by the Marine Corps and Starfleet Academy. In his medical duties, Patton is very attentive and caring toward his
patients. He take the death of any patient very personally. He has a warm
bedside manner that rarely fails to thaw the most reluctant. His most focused field
of medical research involves the integration of replicator/transporter technology with
medical treatments. |

MEDICAL PROFILE . |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A battle
injury lead to the loss of Patton's left arm, below the elbow. It was while recuperating
from this injury that Patton met his wife. He has developed several types of
prosthetics for his use, depending on the job at "hand." His cosmetic prosthesis
is based upon the construction of Data's cybernetic systems and is indistinguishable from
a biological arm except that there are no pain receptors. He does have a latent,
unreliable, limited telekinetic ability. He is able at times to manipulate objects with
his left hand, as if he still had a hand. The strength is limited to picking up a
full shot glass. And as I said this is somewhat unreliable. He has not attempted any
systematic training of this talent for fear that focusing on how he does it will cause it
to disappear. He has no telepathic talent at all.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE/ASSESSMENT. |

| Psychological
Evaluation complied by Star Fleet Medical: "Commander
Patton has one of the most stable psychological profiles I have ever come across. He has a
strong sense of 'self' and an even stronger sense of duty. Despite the horrendous
events of his first
Evaluation by Starfleet Marine Corps complied at time of Captain Patton's resignation: "I have commanded Captain Patton for the past four years.
He has shown himself to be an extremely proficient leader of his men, a highly
qualified combat-proven Marine. He has constantly pushed himself to, and, his limits
beyond both in his professional and personal life. The Corps accepts Captain
Patton's resignation with extreme reluctance. His re-enlistment at a future date
would be welcomed without prejudice." |
