in the field in primitive and sometimes dangerous conditions has taught
her that. She dislikes when people act as if she needs protection or help.

good at what she does. |
| HISTORY |
| 2354 |
Valorie is born in London, Earth. Her mother, Anne, is holding a teaching
position at the university. Her father, Edward is a Starfleet Marine. They met
and got married the year before, when Ed's unit had just rotated back to Earth
for further training. |
| 2355 | Ed's unit is scheduled to rotate back out on a mission. Having his new
family, Ed looks for other options and receives an offer he accepts from the
SpecOps section of the Marine Corps. |
| 2356 | Valorie's father is already bored of family life and leaves Anne and Val
to head out on missions. Anne is left to raise Valorie alone. Ed only stops
by when he happens to be on Earth. |
| 2360 | Ed returns to Earth and he and Anne finalizes the divorce.
Valorie enters the schooling system. |
| 2368 | Much to her mother's dismay, Valorie is taking more interest in sports
and other activities than the more important school subjects. Valorie explains
that she sees no use for the knowledge, therefore she is not interested. During
the next years, Anne pushes Valorie to study harder. |
| 2369 | Anne arranges for Valorie to go along on a short research expedition during
the summer break. The new experience gets Valorie interested in fieldwork as
it combines knowledge with practical work. |
| 2371 | Valorie graduates. She is considered very intelligent and bright by her
teachers. Unfortunately, her average grades do not reflect that. |
| 2372 | Still unsure what she wants to do in life, Valorie applies to and is accepted
to the Geology program at Zewa University in Melbourne, Earth - a university
well known for its Science Department. Finding out that she enjoys science,
she puts in more effort and manages to receive very good grades in the classes taken. |
| 2374 | As she progresses into the classes, she begins to focus more on planetary
scale geology, such as Environmental geology. |
| Unhappy with the thought of mostly theoretical desk jobs with just occasional
fieldwork in the university and research world, Valorie decides to join the
Starfleet ROTC program, as this would allow her to serve in Starfleet with greater
possibility of hands work in the field. |
| 2375 | Valorie graduates from the university with good grades, her final thesis
is titled "Planetary structure and evolution of Kentin IV". The university
offers her to continue her research, part time, while she enrolls in the Starfleet
Reserves Academy Program. She accepts. |
| 2376 | Val enters Starfleet Academy. She goes through basic training without
problems, she enjoys the clear structure and the leadership education. |
| 2377 | Valorie meets with her father and even though she does not fully understand
his reasons for leaving his family, she forgives him and continues to stay in
contact with him. |
| As Valorie completes the basic Starfleet Reserves Academy program, she continues
on to Starfleet Science Academy to receive further training in the more specific
Starfleet requirements for a science officer. |
| 2378 | Valorie finally graduates as a Starfleet Officer with the rank of Ensign.
She is placed with the Federation Geological Research Committee's research program,
allowing her to continue her own research on various locations. She gets to
work a lot on large-scale environmental issues. |
| 2379 | Valorie is promoted to Lieutenant, Junior Grade and assigned to the Starfleet
Terraforming Program. She is placed at the Anog'rahk Colony where she works
with environmental research. Several of her articles and research papers gets
published by respected journals. |
