| Personal History | Rhinnanon is the only child of her Parents; her Father a Detective Sergeant and mother a Highly skilled nurse, did not leave much time to raise a daughter. Her Uncle and aunt took most of her care upon themselves to a point Rhiannon credits her Uncle and Aunt as her Parents in many ways. This left her with a cousin Boy 2 years older and another just Three Months older. The two would grow up in the same grade level throughout school through High School. Growing up the Boys teased and taunted her like a ‘baby Girl Sibling who got all Mama's attention. Thus they really took every taunt about her not being able to do what boys can. Rhiannon did not take it well; she pushed herself to beat them on bicycles and could out swim them. As she got older she was fast on her feet. Then she discovered Ice skating early. Her father and mother could give the resources for her to compete; where she did very well to the point at 12 needed tutor as she was a fierce competitor. Fate did not allow her to be the best; trying a quadruple- Axel she missed the landing and broke her ankle. Life is not one to keep her down; her Father could not sit by letting his girl sit around so he put her with him ; well in the Labs for evidence as an intern; if she had not been injured she might have experienced a ride-along. However she did learn the processing of evidence; hobbling about she even learn how to work Fingerprints. After her ankle healed Rhihannon compete in more local events and did internships through high school and college. Which led to her entering Starfleet. The added volunteer work counted as ‘Field Time’ on her application Work Experience and gave her 7 years of working; she could process evidence like a pro taking what she volunteered to do and then taught the philosophy behind it. With her drive and work experience she landed ‘Criminalist Duty’ early on after graduation. Rhihannon became very adept in her skills; her scans from far, medium and close up for evidence presentation were text book execution. Her processing of evidence flawless on the 89 Percentile and her Conclusions of each piece and how it related to the scene gave a 78% conviction by evidence. If only it were not human nature to believe the witness more than evidence; people did not understand how evidence is procured so they judge more on the stories and conflicting accounts than the fact of the evidence. Rhihannon worked the evidence to show relations between scene and highlight point of a scene. Her skills came to note as some thefts from Vulcan Embassy had to have Earth Security investigators aid the Vulcan Security Resources. Rhihannon met Te’Matt the Vulcan Investigator. She was allowed to aid in the processing of Evidence and in fact over-shadowed her Vulcan counter-part and was logically given lead of the collection. With the collected evidence the Security forces did catch the criminal. Rhihannon was on a team that had the rare overlap with the Vulcans in a loss of a shipment of crystals used primarily in the Phase Pistols. The shipment was in route to Earth and Mars Station a transfer point. The shipment was intercepted and stolen. Rhihannon was the Technician Level I and team lead for that shift. She and her kit arrived after the Vulcans; being an Earth station the Human technician was allowed access to the crime scene. while making her initial measurements she noted several impact from energy weapons. Taking their location and placing a number to them she logged it, also the rewired Access Panel, the damaged scanner and the empty space where the paperwork had the shipment as being placed. A missing Hover lift was also logged in. Once Sohia had taken her shots, measurements and other evidence processing she logged her report and would wait for the impact points to be removed from the wall and properly processed. When reviewing the reports she noted all her measurements were there except the height and location of the blast marks, the wall was repaired upon a second trip to the scene and the evidence did not make it to the crime Lab and all the submitted data was missing. Rhihannon enlisted in Starfleet as she wanted to keep the galaxy safe. She excelled in command training. She served in various positions as she rose through the ranks since training. With her degree in criminology Captain Marc Kidd found her to be the ideal candidate to serve as his Yeoman aboard the USS Artemis. |
