"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 smiled, and even chuckled softly, but sympathetically. "My compliments to you, sir, on being able to break from the family tradition. In truth, Starfleet was not my first choice. When I was younger, I saw myself becoming a priest. But as the years wore on and no other children were forthcoming, well, I simply could not let 600 years of captaining genetics die with my stuborness. Seminary will always be there, even long after Starfleet has finished with me."
