Colin never brought up his famous father. Either people made the connection, or they did not. He would not force the issue. James Fitzgerald's career had been long, and marked mostly by its solidness rather than by any particularly spectacular feats, until his death in battle against the Dominion. "What field of service did you come up through before finding your way into command?" "I opted for the diversified track, sir," he told him. "Mostly flight operations, but I rotated through security, engineering and systems ops as well." Jared nodded, considering the response. It was a different approach to a career in Starfleet, but one that probably served him well as a CO. "And yourself sir? If you don't mind my asking. Where do your people
hail from, and how did you come up through the service?" Jared was broght back from his thoughts with Colin's questions. "My apologies. I grew up on Earth. My family was not what you would consider traditional stock for Starfleet. Even though the Federation is not a money-based culture, they still held onto their roots as an Old Money family from Newport, which was once called the City by the Sea and was a summer retreat for many of the wealthiest families in the old United States. They did not quite approve of my choice, which is probably how I ended up in the legal services. My background was primarily station security." It was clear that Jackson did not respect his family's snobbish nature. (Colin?) AJ |
