Just to remind you, Santiago is officially only a lieutenant at this time.

I also have a bio of Greg Treestock if anyone is interested.

I think SnowFire meant that his character doesn't realise Santiago is the new head of the Spartans. I've just got to work out how to get my character into the Spartan organisation.

Here is the bio I composed for the character Greg Treestock I created for the AFC stories in the old forum. As you can see, I placed Brother Greg among the Believers in the future. BTW, It was you in the "Live at Leeds" tee shirt and Roland in the leather jacket.

Brother Greg Treestock, Ph.D., Nobel Laureate, Col. U.N. PeaceKeeping Forces, Ret.
Believer
Age: 72
Nationality: Australian
Secondary Character
Resume: Dr. Greg Treestock was one of the most distinguished scientists/humanitarians to be included on the original U.N.S. Unity roster. His early academic training at Sydney University was in clinical psychology but his graduate work focused on pharmacology. These skills were used to devise experimental treatments for various types of addiction. Dr. Treestock's true creative gifts were not manifest until the Saturated Mental Activity Compulsion Addiction epidemic swept the world in the early 2000's. This epidemic, commonly referred to as SMACA, was the world's first, though sadly not last, mass addiction to illegal software marketed over the INTERNET. Unsuspecting victims were lured to web sites and instantly entranced losing productivity, hallucinating and shunning all social contact. Working for a prestigious Scientific Institute privately funded by MegaFiraxis International, Ltd., Dr. Treestock was eventually able to develop a treatment for this inSidious disease. The result of the treatment was to actually pull the world out of an economic depression, which was caused by a SMACA enslaved workforce. For this service to the World Economy Dr. Treestock was given the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2029. Dr. Treestock donated his 10 billion-dollar prize to the United Nations in order help staff the U.N.'s Study Group for the Colonization of Alpha Centauri. For his service to the U.N. Dr. Treestock was offered an honorary commission of Colonel in the PeaceKeeping Forces. To everyone's surprise accepted the commission but only if he was allowed to join the Unity crew. How Dr. Treestock first became involved with the Believers is still a mystery.
Current position: Brother Greg, as he now insists everyone call him, is New Eden' s principle, actually only, pharmacist. As such he has an extremely full schedule between his clinical and research duties.

Besides, the UN is building the Unity. This clearly indicates, at least to me, that the UN increased onm power and prestige over the years and became the global power that it should have been.

We now return you from a liberal ranting on a conservatiave's fear of the future to your reguarly scheduled Comments.

I noticed that I didn't really give any background on Jonathan Sagan in the CoFH, so I was basicaly free to develop.

Name: Dr. Jonathan Sagan, PhD, Nobel Laureate
Age: 43
Occupation: Tech at Unity Infirmary
Nationality: American
Degrees:
Trauma Doctor (By need only)
PhD- Infectionous Disease Research
PhD- Exobiology

Jonathan Sagan could never really decide what profession to take- at first, he trained to be a researcher, and completed a PhD at age 24. A gifted child, he skipped many years of classes, and skipped his masters, going directly to PhD. But, after the discovery of life on other planets, he traied to be an exobiologist, getting his second PhD at age 30.

At age 32, he did ground-breaking research on exo-diseases which might affect humans, combining his two PhDs, and earning his team a Nobel Prize in Medicine. For this, he was chosen for the Unity mission, provided he acted as a doctor for the construction phase of the starship. He readily agreed.

Octopus, sorry I haven't read this thread in awhile. Um.... I sort of have to control the meeting with Yang, or else my character will never write his memoirs once he reaches Chiron and they won't become a bestseller. But sure, after I'm done my meeting with him, feel free to take over Yang's character.

JB, what post are you refering to? I forget... the moonbase alpha one? Kind of odd for a moonbase to be building on the Unity.

Anyway, The Investigation begins! If you want me to find out anything specific, let me know, SnowFire. MikeH, if you want me to do anything with my characters to further your plotline, I can arrange that too.

What are some of your favorite verses of "Waltzing Matilda?" I want to make sure that Greg Treestock wows the audience at the I Club.
