| Personal History | Noah James Reed was born in Magma City, Mars. His parents were both civilians in different fields. His father was a geologist researcher while his mother was a botanist. His parents were typically on research assignments to various planets. As Noah grew up, he defied the conventional wisdom of following in someone’s footsteps. He was fascinated by the medical field from an early age, especially after a plague devastated a colony his family lived at the age of nine. Jobs took his parents around the Federation, and he often spent the long trips learning about different species along the way. Sometimes it was on Starfleet vessels, sometimes civilian ships. This gave him a well-rounded understanding of many different species and how they function, as well as their differences. Though he chose to follow a medical path, he received a bonsai tree one birthday from his mother. He took care of it and learned how to cultivate different varieties, a hobby he continued into adulthood. Growing into teenage years, Noah performed well in school, spending extra hours going over medical journals and watching videos related to surgeries. He was absolutely fascinated by the history of medical treatment and where such things would lead to in the future. As time in high school went on, he began to realize that Starfleet guaranteed the surest way to obtain a real education in the medical field. Noah enjoyed his time on Earth while attending Starfleet Academy and was late to class more than once due to leisure traveling. His doctoral thesis was on an exploratory way of improving inter-species mating between difficult races. A newly minted doctor, Reed was assigned to the USS Excalibur on routine patrol along the Klingon border. He was once crucial in setting up an emergency triage center for a Klingon outpost attacked by a rogue Romulan faction looking for supplies. He and his staff were instrumental in minimizing civilian casualties while the Excalibur defended the planet from orbit. This incident helped draw his next assignment to Deep Space Five near Tholian space. Doctor Reed was the first Starfleet doctor to perform a medical examination on a Tholian after a Tholian ship had been badly damaged due to a spatial anomaly. His initial findings were published in the Federation Medical Journal. Shortly after those events, he was offered and he accepted the chief medical officer position aboard the brand new USS Athena. |
