Initial Career

A highly versatile officer, Leslie currently serves as night duty officer aboard the Excelsior-class starship Challenger. Although he returned to Starfleet service after more than twenty years absence, Mr. Leslie has the distinction of having originally served aboard the starship Enterprise during its famed five-year mission. Aboard the Enterprise, Leslie was primarily assigned to the operations division, usually as bridge engineer or security officer. Due to his varied cross-training, he also assisted the ship as helmsman, science specialist, and briefly as a medical technician. In 2266, he received a field promotion to lieutenant, consistent with assuming the role of duty officer. He occasionally ran the bridge in the absence of other senior officers. In 2267, he received a commendation after surviving an attempt by Khan Noonian Singh to asphyxiate those on the bridge.

 

Personal

Leslie left the service in 2268 for personal reasons related to recurring injuries and desires to raise his family on Earth. He has a wife and four children.

 

Return to Service

Following the entry of his youngest child into Starfleet Academy, Leslie decided to return to active service in 2290. He was pleased to serve in the security department under command of former Enterprise veteran Hikaru Sulu during two years aboard the starship Excelsior. Somewhat bored with the lengthy mission to study gaseous anomalies, he transferred to the Constitution-refit Lexington and a new role as relief helmsman. While attending funeral services for Captain James T. Kirk on Earth in 2293, he learned from Montgomery Scott of openings aboard the newly re-launched Enterprise-B and applied for an assistant engineering position. After two years aboard, he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and recommended by Captain Harriman for a transfer to operations and grooming toward command. He has since served aboard the Challenger as duty officer, frequently taking command of the bridge's night shift.

 

Medical

Leslie has survived a number of notable medical incidents. He was exposed to mind-altering spores on Omicron Ceti III and infected by viruses on both Psi 2000 and Omega VI. He was treated for severe frostbite and hypothermia after his landing party was stranded on Alfa 177 during a transporter malfunction. He was "absorbed" and mentally controlled by the Landru artificial intelligence on Beta III, but recovered after the computer's destruction. He was distilled into a geometric solid by Kelvan invaders, but later reconstituted. In the most dangerous incident, he was drained of red blood corpuscles by a dikironium cloud creature on Argus X. He was actually declared dead after this attack, but recovered when a treatment was devised that reversed the damage.

 

Personality

An affable individual, Leslie regularly socializes with fellow officers in his spare time. He enjoys three-dimensional chess, card tricks, and the music. He enjoys the recreation area and bars. Since he almost never makes reference to it, many crewman are unaware of his previous service aboard the Enterprise. Although he will not deny his involvement in that era, he prefers not to bring it up to avoid unseemly "name-dropping". Quiet and perfunctory when at his post, his off-duty conversation is more likely to describe his children's careers, places he's been, and vehicles he has worked to restore. Unsurprisingly, he is a great admirer of James Kirk - his only career regrets involve incidents of insubordination to him and not being able to serve with him longer.

[This NPC is based on the ubiquitous "Mr. Leslie" of the original Star Trek series, who appeared in no less than fifty TOS episodes, usually seen manning the engineering station on the bridge, just next to the turbolift doors.

 

Leslie's "death" from the vampire cloud creature in TOS: Obsession is ignored only as much as the series itself did, since the actor appeared two more times later in the same show, as well as twelve subsequent episodes where he was referred to as Leslie (TOS: Assignment Earth, The Enterprise Incident, And The Children Shall Lead). The actor claims there was a scripted scene where McCoy cured him, but it was never shot. This bio assumes that scene is historical.

 

This bio also assumes that Leslie left Starfleet after the Enterprise's famed five-year mission, consistent with the actor Eddie Paskey's departure from the show. The intervening years, including his return to service, are non-canon speculation from the author. No attempt has been made to reconcile other speculative fiction, which is itself contradictory.]
