### Mission History

#### A Disappearing Act (239303.30 - 239305.17)

Engineer's Log, Stardate 239305.17:
After having spent half the mission crawling through the Jeffries Tubes manually checking EPS Junction Boxes, I was ordered to beam down to Cero III in a hazmat suit. I met the Romulan Senator in charge of the colony world, connected a generator to some scientific equipment for Ensign Jones, turned Captain Brek's combadge into a megaphone (or megabadge, as I call it), ordered a couple Engineers aboard the ship to manufacture some gold-pressed mercury in case we needed to pay a ransom (which we didn't), mopped up the Senator's vomit, and then began work on a portable holodeck--a personal project--until we all beamed back to the ship. I'm not sure my contributions were all that helpful, but at least I got to visit a new planet on my first mission...
### Prior History

Jim was born in space--the medical bay of Starbase 718, in Sector Z-6, along the Romulan border. He lived there till he was eleven, when his parents moved to Mars. They bounced around a few different places in the Sol System for a while—Earth, a couple of stations, Luna Colony—before settling aboard McKinley Station.

In his mid-teenaged years, during his secondary education, Jim had a crush on Clara Davison, a brunette beauty of approximately the same age. Though they became friends, a romance never developed.

At Starfleet Academy, Jim majored in Engineering and also completed a double minor: Astronomy & History. His Father gave him the latest model Engineering tricorder as a graduation present; Jim doesn't go anywhere without it.
