== Service record ==
In 2266, Angela Martine was assigned to the forward phaser control room as a phaser gun crewmember. She was about to marry Robert Tomlinson, genuflecting in front of the altar in the ship's chapel at the start of the wedding, when the Enterprise received a distress call from one of numerous Earth outposts guarding the Romulan Neutral Zone. The wedding was consequently postponed. Martine was, shortly thereafter, devastated by the death of her fiancé, who inhaled a lethal quantity of phaser coolant while the Enterprise chased and crippled a Romulan Bird-of-Prey, which had been responsible for the attack.

In an alternate 2266, created after Christopher Pike prevented the death of several Starfleet cadets and his own exposure to delta radiation, Martine's marriage with Tomlinson was still interrupted by the Romulan incursion. In this timeline, it was Martine, not her fiancé, that was killed during the incident. ()
In 2267, Martine was in an initial landing party to the Shore Leave Planet. She and Lieutenant Esteban Rodriguez were assigned a specimen survey. After completing the survey, Captain Kirk informed them that, once they had beamed the survey to Spock on the Enterprise, they could enjoy themselves on the planet. As they explored, they found themselves briefly trapped by a Bengal tiger. They managed to escape from the tiger, but were then strafed by a Japanese Zero. Presuming Angela dead, Rodriguez left her. In fact, she was taken below the planet's surface, where her injuries were healed; she re-appeared while the planet's caretaker was explaining, to the rest of the Enterprise crewmembers, about the planet's function and how it operated.
