Jonas Lemar

A Family Bond

Jonas, aged 4

Jonas was born to two loving parents, Olivia and Tobias Lemar, and he lived on the family estate beside the Chew Valley Lake, an area on the skirts of Bristol, a beautiful agricultural centre on Earth. From the very beginning, Jonas was showered with all manner of attentions by his mother, and as a result, Jonas built a strong loving bond with her. His father, Tobias, was an academy lecturer in quantum physics at the Institute of Science & Medicine on Trill. Due to Olivia’s refusal to abandon their home, an estate that had been in the family for many generations, Tobias’s occupation meant he was away from his family for weeks at a time, sometimes even months. This caused Jonas to developed a greater bond with his mother, but he always looked up to his father as a man of great importance.

Olivia was a civil engineer for the local authority. Her skills at this meant she was very analytically minded, which in turn rubbed off on Jonas during his upbringing. Jonas grew to be a very curious boy fascinated by the world and his surroundings. He questioned everything, wanted to know why everything was as it was. It was that very nature in him that would cause him to one day leave home in search of those answers.

A Scientist In The Making

Jonas, aged 19

When he was older, Jonas was able to spend more time with his father, often accompanying him to the Institute of Science & Medicine on Trill. Although he spent much of that time indoors, unable to roam freely around the Institute, he would often access the databanks of his father’s computer and read about the universe and it’s many wonders.

It wasn’t until Jonas was 16 that he developed a keen interest for Medicine, along with many other fields of science. He would visit his father more and more, until soon he spent as much time away from his mother as his father did. On his 19th birthday, Jonas approached his father and asked permission to study at the Institute himself. Sponsored by a very proud father, who lectured there for 6 months of the year, Jonas was soon enrolled into the Institute.

A Restless Spirit

After 2 years of hard study, Jonas graduated from the Institute with the highest grade in his class, and more honors than most his age. He then returned to his family estate, back on Earth, where he spent many months helping his family to the run the estate. He would aid with turning the fields and coaxing the vines, but somehow it never satisfied his lust for the great unknown. Jonas soon became tired of the quiet life, and eager to further his skills and put them to good use, he applied for entry to Starfleet Academy.

Needless to say, he was accepted.

A New Beginning

Jonas, aged 25

After 4 years of hard study and determination, and a final exam by one of the toughest Instructors on the staff, Jonas graduated from Starfleet Academy. He danced the halls with delight when he heard the news and planned to tell his mother that very same day, but there was very little time indeed. Already he had received his marching orders, to get straight into the fleet without a moment’s notice. He was disappointed that he didn’t even have a chance to celebrate the good news, but Jonas had taken an oath to serve, and he had been called to his post.

While waiting in line for a shuttle, Jonas was approached by some security personnel. He had followed without question, and moments later he had been whisked away by a transporter. Later he learned that he had been volunteered for service in the 52nd fleet by the Admirality sympathetic to LoDona's cause. With little he could do but cooperate, Jonas allowed himself to be transported in secret to Starbase Geneva where he was to be transferred into the fleet.

Assignment

Jonas was to be assigned to the USS Nimitz as the ships Assistant Chief Medical Officer, but as he waited for its arrival, he familiarised himself with the base. In doing so, circumstances led him to meet with Wendy Kildare, a Doctor practising with the Geneva Medical Facility. Over the following weeks and months, the two developed a close bond and to this day they a in a relationship, although for how much longer remains to be seen.

First Mission: The Sky Is Falling

Beta Omicron V

Needless to say, Jonas found his first mission quite daunting. The crew of the Nimitz were ordered to investigate a planet populated by a pre-warp civilisation who’s moon had fallen into a decaying orbit and was in danger of ripping the planet apart. During this mission, Jonas clashed hard with the new Commander, who approach to newbie’s was to smack them down fast before they got out of line. Managing to steer clear for the majority of the mission, Jonas survived the ordeal, which involved infiltrating the local populace to discover the cause of the catastrophe. Jonas played his part, mostly in a medical capacity, and the crew managed to return the lunar orbit to normal.

Second Mission: A Stitch In Time

During this mission, Jonas faced his first true battle situation. Despite objections, he was put again onto the away team, where they were to infiltrate a facility on earth itself, to destroy a time portal being held by Doenitz. With the destruction of the portal, the team were thrust into a future which had seen the end of the civil war, and the crew of the Nimitz, along with many others, had been incarcerated in a penal facility called Alcatraz. The away teams returned to the Nimitz, which had managed to evade capture, and staged a complex break-out to rescue the crew of the future. With a device developed to travel backward in time, the future Nimitz travelled back to the point of the present Nimitz’s arrival around earth, just after the away team first beamed down. As the original away team transfer to the present Nimitz, the future Nimitz sacrificed itself to save it’s present-day equivilant.

A Mysterious Illness

Prior to the mission beginning, BigWill Kinkaid made a concerning discovery about Jonas’s health. Although unexplainable, Jonas had contracted a form of Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a degenerative disease that effects the spinal cord and nerves, resulting in muscle wasting and weakness. The news that there was no cure did not give Jonas a hopeful outlook for his future. In the later stages of the mission, a Kinkaid from the future had developed a cure for the SMA that had afflicted Jonas, and after a series of treatments post-mission, the disease vanished without a trace.

Third Mission: A Taste of Hate

Starbase Geneva
