Biographical Background:

M’rrett Sh’aow JoN’s was born on the planet Cait in 2367, and was to be the only child to S’rrch and M’rree JoNs. The family relocated to Old San Francisco, Earth in 2377 for M’rree and S’rrch to pursue employment with the Starfleet Academy civilian workforce. With her mother working in the office of the registrar, her father attached to the security forces, and a grand uncle and cousin working in the main personnel office of Starfleet Command and Starfleet Intelligence respectively, the young Caitian very much grew up in and around the academy campus and command offices. This exposure to the organization at a young age left a positive mark on her, and like so many JoNs felines before her, made the decision to enlist at the age of eighteen. M’rrett officially entered Starfleet Academy in 2384, eventually choosing to major in security and the tactical studies. Currently, counting M’rrett, there are no less then seven family members on active duty to the Starfleet.

 

The JoN’s family has a long history of Starfleet service, starting with Shaow, a great great grandmother who served in the Earth Command fleet of the 2150’s with the Officer Exchange Program. M’rretts grandmother, Commander M’Virran (retired), is a direct descendant of Shaow and the former first officer of the USS Gorkon NCC-1991. The ships command staff participated in a failed first contact on a remote and isolated frontier world and four away team members were seriously wounded during an exchange of fire. M’Virran was the leader of the contact away team and one of the senior officers caught in the resulting fall out from the entire incident. M’Virran resigned shortly after the incident, and was given an honorable discharge.

 

In addition, M’rrett is Guardian Child to cousin M’Vess JoNs, who functions as her Elder Guardian. Within the Caitian culture, the roles of Guardian Child and Elder Guardian are deeply respected with roots reaching well back into the ancient tribal past of the Caitians. Typically, these roles are maintained throughout the lives of both the guardian and the one who is guarded, and is not limited to a childhood. A Guardian will guide their younger charge and offer advice, and in other cases act as almost a third parent to the guardian child, depending on the preferences of the immediate parents. M’Vess is currently listed on active duty to the USS Yellowjacket NCC-2020 as the commanding officer.

 

In her sophomore year at the academy the young Caitian and her security training squad began to work with weapons of both ancient and modern design, to familiarize themselves with a variety of weapons. One portion of the ancient ballistic weapons training took place on a private land preserve in the Old Kansas territory of Earth. The cadets were required to walk through a mock up of an ancient west town, shooting at holographic generated hostiles and targets, and then at the end of the exercise they were graded on accuracy and performance. One aspect of the course was a Kobayashi Maru styled surprise at the end, which entailed coming up against four simultaneous opponents who surrounded the participant, which usually resulted in a no win situation like the starship counterpart exercise. The young feline decided to improvise and fanned her 1873 era Calvary pistol replica, scoring non fatal hits on all four opponents. This action was considered a breach of the exercise protocols, as the fanning of a ballistics based gun will decrease the rate of accuracy. Mrrett failed the exercise, but gained a nickname from her fellow cadets: Kansas. The nick name has stayed with her through training and subsequent service.

 

Just after her graduation from the academy in 2389, instead of immediately entering service on a training vessel, M’rrett signed on for a two and a half year stint on a privateer ship known as the Corsair. This crew primarily found work as cargo runners, but there have been rumors regarding some of their business dealings as not exactly being on the level. In addition, there is no recorded registry on record for this ship which further adds to the suspicions regarding its activities. M'Vess JoNs even went so far as to track down her cousin in an attempt to literally haul her away from the personal assignment by an ear, but M'rrett's mind was made up that she wanted to serve on the merchant privateer Corsair and she asserted her right to make her own decisions as a young adult. The young Caitian served her time and then left the ship, opting not to sign on for another service tour after she had gotten the lure and adventure of the questionable civilian service out of her system. Thankfully, she had enough academy credits (the credits were still active despite her two year long so called vacation) and was able to immediately sign on for a Fleet training cruise. There has been some speculation that her grandmother, former Commander M’Virran, as well as her granduncle, Lieutenant Commander M’Sarr, both called in some favors in order to speed along the training assignment orders despite the senior cadets two year absence. These rumors remain unconfirmed however.

 

Taking advantage of the expansion of the security programs and training following the Dominion War, M’rrett chose to pursue advanced tactical, sniper and piloting studies during her advanced service on the training vessels and ground assignments. that followed. Her natural feline vision served her well during sniper training, as did her reflexes for the pilot training. Piloting wise, she was trained in a variety of Starfleet low atmospheric and space flight craft, and followed in the tradition of having pilots in the JoNs family (M’Virran, M’Vess and S’rrett have also served or trained within the piloting field).

 

While the talent was there for the sniper and piloting studies and the subsequent specialty training assignments, the ambition was not. The young cadet midshipman began to drift away from these specialties and more toward the tactical specialty area as she completed her training assignments. A goodly portion of her tactical studies, which included ship to ship skirmishes, personal defense and offensive maneuvers, and squad based ground engagements, also involved mastering many types of weapons from a variety of eras and military organizations. Other then a Klingon dagger, acquired during her civilian services, and a few random Caitian dagger pieces, M’rrett is not a collector of weapons. She has never shown more then a casual interest in them outside of training, studies, or the maintaining of equipment.

 

M’rrett JoN’s is intelligent, adaptive and serves Starfleet with pride. Her performance is consistent, albeit a bit exuberant at times. She can be pragmatic; comparing a current situation with past historical occurrences as well as a healthy does of common sense where applicable. She exhibits a playful (some say mischievous, such as when she was put on report at the academy for a practical joke, reprogramming the main monitor in the cafeteria to repeatedly flash “Academy Road Kill Café: You Frag ‘Em, We Cook ‘Em”), adventure seeking quality. This adventurous trait attracted her to Starfleet and the security service, as well as the period of civilian service on a questionable privateer ship. At times, this personality quirk can also get her into trouble, though thankfully these incidents are few and JoNs tends to learn from each new experience whether it be a good or a bad one. On the flip side of the latinum, she enjoys the protection factor indicative of the security service, as well as the tactical aspects. She will make her opinion known - not gently - when she feels strongly enough or is angered about something, but her personal outlook is usually tempered with a respect for fellow officers and comrades as well as the famous Caitian calmness.

 

Mrrett JoNs is currently serving on the USS Agincourt NCC-81762.

 

Psychological Profile:

 

M’rrett JoNs is healthy in mind and body, and has an outgoing view of life in general. However, she is very much a feline with her brain and reflexes hardwired into thousands of years of feline predatory evolution, and this fact should always be noted when dealing with her.

 

The feline equation does not change much over the species, whether they be a domesticated pet or of a felinoid descent such as JoNs. Like her Cait plains dwelling forebears, she is a natural predator, athlete and hunter: built to stalk her prey, and then take down the target in the most efficient manner possible. She can be moody and tempermental, exhibiting the usual outward signs such as ear movement, growling, or tail lashing and the like when she is angry or frustrated, or purring when she is happy. JoNs will also drop to all four paws at times to walk; this action is not odd in itself, but most modern adult Caitians prefer to walk upright on their hind paws. The subject seems to employ this mobility method most definitely out of habit or when angered, annoyed and those few times when fear is a factor. In addition, she can be highly territorial, and this predilection is purely an animal instinct. While not easily angered or considered to be wild, there is a flashfire of a temper lurking under the surface, and this is also the result of her animal instincts.

 

M’rrett JoNs is cleared for service. End profile record, case number 741.

General Updates:

0512.22 to 0603.08: The security officer is detached on undercover duty along with marine Major Korix Vaos to the Federation colony world Arkanis. The colony specializes in medical technology, and JoNs and Vaos are dispatched to infiltrate a smuggling ring that has taken root within the medical colony. During the course of the covert operation, new alien technology involving “goop-like” weapons and interfaces that conformed to the user was discovered, as well as a connection between the alien tech and the Tal Shiar (the supposedly defunct black ops unit of the Rihannsu). Upon her return to the ship, the Caitian officer is reprimanded by Chief Medical Officer Levy, her direct superior Chief Security Officer Robair and commanding officer Captain Davies for her mis-appropriation of Agincourt medical supplies for use on the mission without clearing it through the proper channels prior to her departure.

 

0604.26: JoNs is involved in an altercation on Star Base Eleven with members of the Federation Merchant Marines. The hecklers were pestering the Caitian regarding the recent hijacking of the ship (along with several other warships) by a joint terrorist effort of both Rihannsu and Klingons who are working together. The feline is mildly reprimanded and remanded to extra training duty by Lieutenant Commander Robair.

 

0605.26: JoNs is tapped to participate in (along with Day, Rieve, and Condacin) an away team mission to Travae in order to locate Articus, a dealer who has the antidote to dispel a plague ravaging the crew. His terms, in exchange for the needed medicine, consist of “a night with the cat”. The cat is definitely not pleased with the terms, but went along with the ruse until she and the away team got the drop on the medicine dealer and wrested the needed cure from him.

 

0609.22: Shortly after the entry of the Agincourt into the Perseus Arm sector of the galaxy, following the pursuit of the Soltans (now identified as the interface aliens), Kansas is caught in the explosion of a bridge console, losing the very tip of her left ear as a result.

 

0701.10: JoNs participates in a bar brawl (along with her cohort Condacin) on the Ieu’ani home world during a shore leave layover. She is reprimanded and placed on the clean up detail to the damaged tavern by Colonel Harper.

 

0701.06: Invited by and accepts inclusion into the Klingon House of Lokan by Master Chief Petty Officer Keltex, a transfer from Gideon security to the Agincourt security department.

 

0703.15 to 0703.24: A mind altering illness infects certain members of the crew; JoNs is shot point blank by Rieve and later engages in a knock down, drag out fight with the ships commanding officer, Harper.

 

0709.20 to 0709.28: During an away team mission to rescue an Umbara general held on a Selshan vessel, JoNs is injured during the shuttles re-entry phase back to the Agincourt.

 

0710.20 to 0711.17: Kansas is placed on report and confined to quarters during off duty hours for allowing unauthorized access to and questioning of a prisoner and terrorist suspect, the Selshan Noleph. Subsequently demoted to rank of Lieutenant, and remanded to Marine basic training along with maintaining her regular Security duties, and confined to the NNC barracks for the training duration. She is later released to quarters for her regular sleep cycle per Lt. Colonel Day due to excessive purring and disturbing others while sleeping, and returned to the rank of Lieutenant Commander at the conclusion of the training.

 

0802.16 to 0802.27: Participates in a joint marine-security operation to breach a prison structure on a Soltan/Selshan held prison planet; JoNs leads the security snipers working the perimeter while the marine assault team handled the prison breach to locate an Alpha quadrant scientist held there. The feline encountered some fall out from her commanding officer for being out of contact and continuing the mission with a busted communicator badge.

 

0805.31: While participating in a temporary mission assignment during the Earth based recovery operations, JoNs is badly injured during a skirmish with a looter group taking advantage of the disarray in the aftermath of the Soltan orbital attacks on the planet. The feline eventually makes a full recovery.

 

Character Note:

The mission operations call sign of Will (as in William Shakespeare) was given 11.17.07 Out of Character to the Player by former Executive Officer Lt. Colonel T’Loren Day, due to achieving the count of two hundred (200) character logs written between the years 2005 and 2007 (translation: I’m wordy). In Character, Kansas JoNs tends to be strong willed and stubborn -- she is a feline, after all -- so the call sign works out well: darn willful cat, shortened to Will.
