| Ektar's Officer's once estimated
that Robert uses traditional tactics only part of the time. After bribing
his admission into Starfleet Academy, Robert began acquiring this lifelong
reputation for unorthodox solutions. Robert finished twelth in his graduating
class.
As an ensign on his first
assignment, Robert had served with now-Admiral Nutz on the test ship ISS
Pagun. And proved pivotal in defending his captain against a rare love triangle
before they and only a handful of others escaped, shortly after the ship's
destruction during a test project. Only in 2370 was Nutz's renegade experiment
unmasked, and Robert was detained briefly for complicity but cleared.
Later stationed on Seti Alpha
3, his mission there ended in 2362 with a posting that would launch a rapid
rise in his career. Sent to the ISS Pumpkin in 2362 as a lieutenant, he proved
unorthodox again in avoiding a confrontation by hanging over a planet's magnetic
pole to confuse an opposing ship's sensors. Only six weeks after coming aboard,
though, he barely escaped from Nervana V, where his termination of crewmates
led to a promotion and a switch from operations to command division.
He eventually became first
officer of the ISS Specture under Captain Bo Jangles. During this stay he
was offered his first command on the scout ship ISS Daring, but turned it
down. Robert had more ambision then a scout ship captian. From there, he
was promoted to commander and picked sight unseen from among 50 candidates
by Starfleet as Second Officer on the new Kodak-class ISS Ektar.
Robert had been given temporary
command of the ISS Spurr in a blockade against Cardassian involvement in
the War with the Alliance. Robert, again gave no thought to his own command
and joined Captain Padawon and the other senior staff aboard the Kodak-class
Ektar in 2364.
Robert grew so satisfied with
his assignment under Captain Padawon, who quickly called him by his nickname
"blaster commander" It seems that Robert has a trigger happy feeling. He
seems to know when something is not correct, and usually ends up
using
force to get out of a lossing situation.
He temporarily had a field promotion to captain during the Alliance crisis
of 2366 at Wolf 359.
Although Robert has displayed
a well-rounded personality and temperament throughout his rising command
career, his mother's death when he was only 7 helped foster an acrimonious
15-year separation from his father at age 15, when he left home. He had deeply
missed his mother, but came to loathe the distance his father erected between
them as his own means of grief. Their relationship resorted to an ongoing
competition in activities.
Robert's knack for improvisation
runs throughout his hobbies and interests as well. A master poker player,
he had learned the game during his brief stint on the ISS Pumpkin; his reputation
won him the role as replacement Federation negotiator during the short-lived
Tongo chamianships. He has also visited Rom's bar and casino on Terok
Nor.
Robert has a strong libido
and - aside from encounters made in the line of duty, such as on Angel I
he has seduced several romantic relationships, including enhanced holo-women,
the doomed assassin Slut and colonizer Carmen Electra, after a Risian resort
visit.
After the Alliance War Captain
Padawon was relieved of duty by Robert's outstanding command. With his strong
libido, well-rounded personality, and - aside from encounters made in the
line of duty, such as on Angel I he has fostered several romantic relationships,
including enhanced holo-women, the doomed assassin Slut and colonizer Carmen
Electra, after a Risian resort visit.
Despite his nominally robust
outlook, Robert has been prone to short bouts of self-doubt regarding his
perceived complacency toward ambition. His imposing physical presence has
been an unintended impediment to effective communication with some in his
command, especially junior officers, and he has taken steps to deal with
it. |
