General Notes
Following graduation from the academy; Dale became ACSO under Lt. Jewort Trewe, designer of the Indefatigable Class Dennison. Under his tutelage she bacame part of Project Darkstar; an Omega Classified research project to design a dark matter/antimatter powered vessel. It is understood, though unconfirmed that she was part of the Advanced Ship design arm of the project. Most of the designs and files were destroyed as the USS Dennison suffered severe damage that resulted in it's removal from service. It was actions such as this, and other highly classified papers written by the young Lieutenant that first brought her to the attention of the murkier aspects of Starfleet Intel.
Following severe brain trauma at least twice in the line of duty, it is recommended to any CMO that Dale serves with should monitor Dale on a much more regular period than is normal. Primarily to check for a reoccurrence of a sub-dural haematoma that was sustained by a sharp blow to the head. Secondly, to monitor the affects of Telepathic scarring folowing her treatment under the hands of Fleet Intel. In addition to Dale's Personal History, it seems that her mother was incorrectly listed as deceased, Fleet Intel reminds us that she was in fact MIA, and has made a re-appearance, being recalled to active duty under the rank of Marine 2L, formerly Marine XO on the Dennison and Mithrandir, whereabouts currently classified.
