Lt. Penny Oppet

Sitting on her bunk, she sighed and flopped backwards onto it, grabbing a handheld recorder off her nightstand. "No sense putting it off anymore.." She cleared her throat, depressed the recording stud, and began with the boilerplate introduction. "This is the required biographical information file concerning one Penelope Sparrow Oppet, twenty-three years of age at time of this recording, for perusal by the captain of her new post aboard the USS Challenger. "Academic achievements include, but are not limited to. Placed on the honour roll throughout the entirety of Basic Training at Starfleet Academy, a high mark in Linguistic Study courses, high number of extra-curricular activities such as debate team, chess club, and drama and roleplaying group. I graduated on stardate.. Something, I'm not so good with those.. About four years ago. "Service record. I was stationed aboard the USS Bonchance NCC-3141, a Hermes-class scout vessel, from the time I left the Academy up until two and a half months ago, when the craft was decomissioned, due to a massive, irreprable systems disfunction. While serving, I performed duties as the night-shift ops officer, as well as navigation in a pinch. "Family. My dad's gone, ran off when he found out mom was gonna have me, you know how it goes; he had enough problems with the first kid. Got my mom Christine, my older sister Bethany, and my twin brother, Michael Wren. Don't ask about the middle names, I don't know, mom was in a phase, I guess. Heh, probably named us for whatever hit her window while we were being born. My entire family lives in the Cambridge area, where we've come from for generations. "Personal information. You know, in case you want to recognize me. I weigh approximately forty-five kilograms and stand about one hundred sixty centimeters tall. My eyes are a light grey, and my hair.. Well, it's long, and it's normally brown, but I got bored while I was unassigned, yanno? So right now, it's bleached and dyed a rather bright pink. "Well, I guess that's all I need to let you know.. Anything else, don't be afraid to ask, I don't bite. Much. Oh, and captain.. Try not to blow anything up first day, aright? Keying the frequency and thumbing the transmit button, she tossed the recorder back, and went out.
