| Personal History | Richard Dalziel (pronounced (dee-el) ) was born in Sheffield, Yorkshire, the eldest child of Andy and Florie Dalziel. Richard's father was a Starfleet Engineer and in 2360, when he was assigned to the newly commissioned DS7, his family, including the twelve year old went with him. On the station Richard would assist his father with the maintenance tasks he had to perform. Richard showed a natural affinity for Engineering and on his seventeenth birthday he entered Starfleet Academy. In 2379 while Richard was serving on the U.S.S. Coventry, they came under attack by unknown forces. He was a member of a damage control team sent to secure a bulkhead. When the officer in charge was injured in an explosion, Richard took command of the team, they finished the job and were able to aid a repair team in their repair of a phaser bank, that allowed the Coventry to fight off her attackers. For his quick action and exceptional work, he was awarded a battlefield promotion to Full Lt. and his leadership skills are noted. Richard's father was an old fashioned man with a Protestant work ethic. He was a Starfleet NCO Engineer who had strong opinions about class, one of these beliefs was that enlisted personnel shouldn't fraternize with officers. This became a problem when Richard entered Starfleet Academy, as this meant that Richard's father wouldn't talk to him unless it was in a professional sense or if they were both on leave, even when they served on the same vessel. Even though Richard had attended the Academy, he still felt more at home around enlisted personnel, than he did with most of his fellow officers. The loss of his eye in the line of duty has become a blessing, in that his optical implant allows him to see the world in a way few others can. It is also an advantage in his Engineering design work. While working at the Avondale Facility he met a medical officer named Emily Marlowe. They met one night in the commissary, they became good friends and this friendship later blossomed into love. Medical Records After receiving substantial plasma burns to the right side of his face during an accident in Engineering, Dalziel underwent extensive facial reconstruction, dermal regeneration and artificial skin grafts. Also his critically damaged right eye was replaced with an optical implant. Dalziel then undertook rehabilitation to help him use his 'new eye' effectively. As a child Dalziel broke his left arm and cracked two ribs when he fall from a tree house he and and his best friend Jimmy had built in his back yard. |
