Adamoi Report


NAME: Hopkins, Sebastian
RANK: Lieutenant
AWAY TEAM AFFiLIATION: Counseling Department Representative
LOCATION: Techelen

The level of Medical Technology that the Adamoi possess is that of Kirk-Era level technology.  This is due to the fact that the Adamoi have strong immune systems and they have the capability to fend off most viruses.  They have a General Hospital Complex for emergency medical needs and it is also used as a Medical Training Facility for those who choose to become Medical Professionals.  There are a handful of smaller Medical Clinics throughout the world.  The affects of the planet itself has a positive affect on the Adamoi’s strong immune system.
When it comes to the Psychological/Mental needs for the Adamoi people, this is quite impressive by Starfleet standards.  The Mental Health needs of the Adamoi are taken care of by trained Psychological Therapists.  The techniques they use are impressively advanced techniques to commonly used ones for Starfleet Counselors.  Some examples are The Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Family Systems Therapy, and very rare cases that involved using Hypnotherapy.  According to Phoebe the majority of the cases that require Psychological/Mental Treatment are for Adamoi youth, basically the age equivalent is to humans aged in their mid twenties.  For the Adamnoi this is a major stepping stone from adolescent into adulthood.  Every member of Adamoi society goes through this Psychological Assessment during what is called “The confirmation of Spirit”.  This is a ancient religious custom that has been of course modified over the years and incorporated into a society tradition for youth.  This process now assesses the capabilities of the youth, so that they can be guided into desired and logical positions within Adamoi society.  This can range for Diplomacy, Counseling, Agriculture, Security, etc.
The types of Psychological issues that the Adamoi experience range from different types of Phobias, Developmental Disorders (which these are few and far in-between), Behavioral Disorders, and in some very rare cases PTSD-like issues (which are caused by serious traumas).  These types of Mental issues are all taken seriously and every bit of help is rendered to the person and the family unit of the person. They use the old human adage “It takes a Village”.  Most of the Developmental & Behavioral issues are diagnosed at an early stage in a young Adamoi’s life.  Very seldom do any kinds of Mental Illnesses go undiagnosed and untreated.
Adamoi youth must go through a thorough Psychological Assessment before they start the “Career Training” for the positions within Adamoi society that they wish to contribute and flourish in.  These assessments are completed in one of the smaller Medical Complexes off of the main Hospital complex.  According to one youth, named Neville, the process of the Psychological Assessment has become some what of a Family Tradition for family units to experience this with their youth.  Finding out where a Adamoi youth wishes to contribute and flourish is a great event within a family unit. 
Phoebe asked me questions about my life on Earth, about my Starfleet Career, my family history, and even about Earth History as a whole.  I gave her a run down of my family history and my tremendous contribution to the Family Tradition of Starfleet Service.  She was very impressed by the fact that so many in my ancestry would follow in past foot steps of Exploration and Security Service.  I explained, to the best of my ability, of Earth history for Phoebe and she was amazed at how we became such a thriving society after everything we put ourselves through in the past.  She was fascinated with my description of the Kirk-era and she was very impressed by how Kirk lead Starlet in first contacts and missions as a whole. She was also intrigued by the checkered history that Earth had many years before first contact happened.  I did inform her that I would run it by Counselor Troi who would run it by the Captan if we could download the entire Earth History Database for her to review and study.  If that was possible of course. 
So all in all my very first Away Team mission onboard the Big E, that is what the ensigns are calling the Enterprise, I mean in Ancient Earths US Navy they referred to the USS Enterprise CVN-65 as “Big E”.  The nickname might actually stick honestly, since that ancient Naval Vessel is part of this Enterprise’s illustrious history after all.
Hopefully this report fills in all the bullet points that I was required to look for while I visited Techelen.  I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the planet and meeting the representatives that I did.

Swim Meet, Part Two - The Competition


   The crowd in the bleachers are excited and thrilled for this swim meet to commence.  The spectators consisted of Deep Space 1 and Enterprise Personnel.  They were here for this event between Nicholas Hopkins and Evelee, the two members of the Enterprise crew.  This was strictly meant as a fun competition between friends.  With the scuttlebutt having spread the news the crowd became enough to fill the bleachers and the match was to be broadcast through the lounge/recreation areas of the respective facilities.
   The match was a Freestyle swim, so the competitors would be able to swim the best way they were comfortable with.  The two personnel would complete five laps from end-to-end and upon the completion of the final lap the winner would be determined by the person who touched the end first.    Nicholas and Evelee were both excited to do this for the sheer entertainment factor/value.  There was of course a friendly wager on which of them would win.
   The competition was held on Deck 6 of Deep Space One.  The Olympic-size Swimming Pool was 50 meters in length (164 feet), 25 meters in width (82 feet), and 2 meters in depth (6 feet).  There was the standard ten swimming lanes for “racing”.  Nicholas was assigned Lane Four and Evelee Lane Five.  The Referee for this event was Lieutenant Commander Hall, Deep Space One’s Chief of Security.  The Match was held at 1600, with the audience full of people there to cheer them on.  The Match began when Hall blew his whistle and both competitors leaped into the water from their diving platforms.  Both Nicholas and Evelee speared through the water with grace and speed.  Evelee gained some ground upon coming into her second lap.  Nicholas was able to gain ground on her shortly before e started their third lap.  Nicholas and Evelee were neck-and-neck during the full fourth lap and into the fifth lap.  Upon reaching the the three quarters mark of the fifth/final lap Nicholas pushed even further/harder and was able to beat Evelee with touching the edge of the pool and surfacing.  Nicholas was able to beat Evelee’s time by zero-point-seven seconds.
   The crowded bleachers roared with cheering onlookers and viewing spectators alike.  The sound seemed to echo throughout the entire decks.  Both Nicholas and Evelee shook hands and praised one another upon getting out of the pool.  They were quickly surrounded bather friends and LCDR Hall who congratulated them both on an amazing race.  The DS1 crew, with the assistance of the Ten-Forward Lounge Staff, put together a reception/party after wards.  All personnel were allowed to attend and celebrate the win and the competition as a whole.



( DISCLAIMER: I discussed with our amazing Author about putting this together and before I wrote it we came up with an idea on how we would decide who would win the match.  He came up with idea of rolling a D6 dice, which he had infant of him, while we were discussing this in Facebook Messenger.  The parameters were 1-3 = Evelee; 4-6 = Nicholas.  He rolled a 5, which entailed Nicholas won the Swim Race.  I felt that you all should know that I was not playing favorites to my character when I wrote this  short story.  Hope you all enjoyed it, I know I have fun writing them. )

Swim Meet, Part One - The Setup


LOCATION: Ten-Forward
STARDATE: 72216.3 (September 1, 2019 @ 18:45)

Nicholas walks into the Ten-Forward and is greeted by Guinan the bartender.
“Well help there stranger,” announced Guinan as she stood behind the bar, “how are you doing today Nicholas?”
“I am doing pretty good Guinan,” responded Nicholas as he walked towards the bar, “I was wondering if you knew where Evelee was at? I have a friendly proposal for her.  She challenged me to a Swim Meet when she found out I was Swim Meet champion during my Academy days.  Since there is a Swimming Pool on Deep Space One, so I figured we could have this friendly completion.”
As Nicholas was explaining this to Guinan, Evelee walked up with a her glass of Enaran Tarin Juice and sat down next to Nicholas with a grin a mile wide on her face.
“So you think you could take me in a Swim Match Nicholas?  I have been swimming all my life back on Techelon, and you have been out of the Academy for some time.  Not sure it would be a fair match,” replied Evelee with a grin on her face and a mischievous tone in her voice.
“I think I can handle taking you on in a Swim Meet Evelee. This should be entertaining and fun.  A friendly competition between two friends.  We might want to run this by Sam as well, since he will bring this to Captain Picard.”
“You are on Nicholas!”  Exclaimed Evelee with excitement in her voice.
“This will definitely be something the crew of both the ship and station will be talking about for a while,” replied Guinan as she refilled a patrons drink.
“You do realize one thing about this friendly swim competition,” announced a bravado inspired voice from behind Nicholas, “You will be representing the Enterprise Officers, even with it being against a fellow members of the crew.  So you do ave a lot riding on this competition Lieutenant.”
Nicholas turned around to see Commander Riker and Counselor Troi standing at the bar being served their drinks by Guinan.  The look of utter shock and awe on Nicholas’s face could have been read throughout the room.  Nicholas knew that Commander Riker had a competitive streak and he enjoyed games of Poker, but this “pressure” was definitely something Nicholas understood and thrived in ever since he was the Academy.
“You are right Commander, this friendly competition is not just for myself and Evelee,” replied Nicholas with a smirk, “It is for the entire crew and the Reputation of the Enterprise-D herself as well.  I will do my best to bring honor to the Crew.”
“So then it will happen.  A Swim Meet between you and Evelee for the entertainment and honor of the crew,” replied Commander Riker with a smirk, “I will run this by Captain Picard and Captain Saluk of DS1.  When did you want to do the Meet?”
“I was thinking as soon as possible, sir.”
“How does Tuesday at 17:00 sound to you, Lieutenant?  I will have to talk with your Department Head about getting you the time off for this event as well, but I think she would be ok with it,” slyly smirked Riker towards Deanna as she listens every word he said.
“Yes Nicholas, you can have the time off for this competition.  I can tell you I will be in the front row cheering you on,” replied Counselor Troi as she guided Riker to their table.
“Well looks like I will have to get Ten-Forward ready for a celebration for both of you, this will be a celebration in honor of the crew as a whole.”
“Well Evelee, looks like this Friendly Competition has turned into a Competition for the Honor of the Ship now.  This is going to be more fun than I thought,” responded Nicholas as he finished off his Draylaxian Whiskey, “We will have a blast doing this, and I warn you I will not go easy on you.  I plan to win after all.”
Nicholas headed out of Ten-Forward when he heard Evelee call out to him.
“What is the human saying, ‘In your dreams’”, replied Evelee with a sheepish grin on her face, “You better bring you ‘A’ Game Nicholas.  I do not plan on going easy on you in the water.”
With that Nicholas walked out of Ten-Forward.

Nicholas Hopkins' Personnel History - USS Enterprise-D

ASSIGNMENT:
USS Enterprise-D NCC-1701-D Galaxy-class (2363 - Present)
        Lieutenant /// Ship's Counselor/Security Consultant (Forensic Psychologist)/Field Medic (Blue Uniform)


YEAR         EVENT
Mar 2363     Nicholas transfers to the USS Enterprise-D as one of the ship's Counselors/Security Consultants/Field Medic.  (AGE:28) <March 10, 2363>
                     During the first mission to the Tellidaris Nebula, Nicholas gets acquainted with his new department and fellow Counselors.  LCDR Troi assigns Nicholas to one of the smaller offices along Counseling Row, which is the small row of private offices that are assigned to each of the Counselors to use when they are conducting Counseling Sessions with a Crew member.
Apr 2363      Nicholas visits his Aunt on Earth, while the Enterprise-D is in orbit after their first mission and in waiting for the announcement of a new Commanding Officer.
                     Nicholas returned to the ship a day before the Change of Command ceremony, which instilled Captain Jean-Luc Picard as the USS Enterprise-D's new Commanding Officer.  The ship was also ordered to the Devron System to investigate an anomaly or sorts.
May 2363     The Enterprise-D arrives at the Neutral Zone, and with some reports of "interesting situations" the ship is permitted to enter the Zone and investigate.
                       Nicholas assists the Sick-Bay staff with a Triage Unit in one of the Cargo Bays for the alarming number of reports of strange goings on with the Enterprise crew members and civilians.  The alarming reports consisted of old injuries healing themselves and people "de-aging" as well.  Even Nicholas himself noticed these aspects affecting him, when a previous scar from an injury seemed to vanish before his very eyes.
                       Somehow after the process of creating a "Static Warpshell" the Enterprise-D survive the anomaly intact.......
                       (Nicholas Hopkins was marked as KIA on May 13, 2363, when the Devron Anomaly was "dealt" with by the brave crew of the USS Enterprise-D when they sacrificed themselves to save the Universe as a whole.)
May 2364     This ship and crew emerged from the "Anti-Time Anomaly",  The Enterprise-D is heading back to Earth with the USS Excalibur along side for the journey.  Nicholas, along with the majority of the crew, is still trying to used to the fact that they were "dead" according to Starfleet Records.
                      Nicholas was able to learn some things about his past from the Crew Manifest Records, but sadly he does remember anything after November 2359, when he was serving onboard the USS Saratoga.  According to his Service record he served on the USS Gandhi prior to transferring to the USS Enterprise-D, and apparently he was model officer during his time on the Gandhi.
                      Nicholas assists his Counseling Staff with Psychological Assessments of the Crew during the travel time back to Earth.  The evaluations are varied from "I want to stay and re-learn" to "I want to leave and try to understand what I am supposed to do now".  Nicholas choose to stay onboard and renew his commitment to Starfleet.
                      Earth Orbit, Nicholas goes down to Earth to his home and he visits with his parents and husband who are waiting for him.  The entire trip was a little difficult since Nicholas did not recall Anthony, his husband, at all due to the fact that they met while he served on the Gandhi.  Anthony vows to Nicholas that he will always stand by his side, even during this memory loss.
June/Aug 2364    Nicholas is thrilled that the Enterprise is reinstated back to Active Duty and that they are hading towards their first mission.  The idea of interacting with another long-lived species fascinates Nicholas.  His quick friendship with Guinan has proven that one salient point.
                Nicholas was assigned to an Away Team to take a tour of the Medical Clinics/Psychological Assessment Facilities on Techelen.  Nicholas guide was a Adamoi female Representative named Phoebe.  Him and his team toured the Psychological Assessment facility, where they met a young Adamoi male named Neville.  Neville informed the team that going through this process was the first step to becoming an adolescent and would help them understand where they fit in Adamoi society upon "graduation" of their trade training process.
                During the preparation for the R&R visit to Techelen, Nicholas assisted in Sick bay with the standard work-ups that are needed for such an adventure to a new planet and interactions with it's society/culture.  (Being a Field Medic does help him out at times.)
Sept 2364    During the trip from Techelen to Deep Space One, Nicholas challenges Evelee (The Adamoi Representative assigned to the Enterprise-D) with a unique and fun Moral Building Event.  The Moral boosting event is a Swim Meet between the two upon arrival at DS1, since the facility has an Olympic-sized pool onboard.
                 Nicholas wins the match against Evelee and the Event itself is a grand spectacle for the Enterprise and DS1 crews alike.


* All of the "greyed out" memories are what was lost to Nicholas after the Devron Anomaly encounter.  He does not remember any of these events, due to the de-aging process.  Of course this is all within his Service Record though.
