After the end of the war, |History=Aitrus tried to get was born on with his studies. He went to the Vulcan Science Academy in the first class accepted after the warAlpha Centauri, at the age of 16, but soon grew frustrated with it allthough he doesn’t remember ever having been there. The images he had seenAnna and Gehn Colso were archaeologists, and went wherever the deaths he had witnessed, had impacted him far more than he knew, and he couldn’t just ignore funding for their digs took them. With his parent’s agreement, he left Vulcan Three months after only two years and transferred to Star Fleet AcademyAitrus’ birth, still pursuing science, but knowing that now he would be able they were off again to help people in ways that he would never have been able to had he stayed on Vulcananother planet.

While thereMuch of his early life was spent that way, traveling from planet to planet. As a result, he met another cadet named Arthur Flynngot to see the stars without an atmosphere in front of them far more often than a normal child, and was always fascinated by them. Every planet would bring new constellations and new patterns to learn, every trip would bring some new element of warp travel to the forefront. With the scientific mind his parent’s had given him, a tactical cadetit was no wonder that he was so enraptured with what he saw. They While they were roommates early on in disappointed that he was only tacitly curious about their careerschosen profession, they grew more and more proud of him as he learned more and while their class loads soon took them apart, they spent time together whenever possiblemore about the stars.

After graduationFinally, when he was assigned to about eleven, the USS Philadelphia under Captain Raymond Gage. Here, he met another longtime friend, his first Department Head thenColsos got a long-LCdr Quill Dramar, along with his wife, then Ensign Samantha Hartterm assignment. He fell for her at first sight, and they They were inseparable from that point forward.He served briefly in the Second Federation/Romulan War, due going to its subsequent termination by the Borg Invasion. Under study the command ruins of Captain Ysiadina Lanael, the Philadelphia was thrown to one of the far reaches of the quadrantFirst Republic on Bajor, and so Aitrus finally entered a traditional school there finding an artifact that greatly enhanced the latent abilities of a psychic. During this, howeverHe made friends easily, Aitrus and Samantha grew closer together. Finally, on the darkened ship, which was orbiting lifelessly above a planet, while he proposed to Samantha, who agreed then and there. It was perhaps born lacking somewhat in the isolation sooner than it might have had arts, his teachers were stunned by his aptitude for the Philadelphia stayed in known spacesciences and math. He quickly advanced, but their attachment his parents kept him at his true grade level, believing that social interaction was no less real for that factjust as important as academic achievement.

Returning Unfortunately, most of this was put on hold when the First General War broke out. Bajor, being situated on the Cardassian border and maintaining the only stable connection to Federation Spacethe Gamma Quadrant, the Philadelphia was placed in orbit of Vulcan quickly overrun by their new psychically powerful friendsRDC forces, and he occupied by a joint force. The Cardassians and Samantha were married thereDominion, before remembering the Philadelphia headed back last time they had held this planet, were inclined to Sol for treat the final battle with population well, so as to avoid the Borguprisings that had occurred last time. In the flush of success afterwardThe Romulans, Quill was promoted to XO and transferred to a new shiphowever, while Aitrus took over as Department Headwere not so enlightened. The next few months They were a whirlwindrestrained somewhat by their allies, as he and Samantha didn’t even have time for a honeymoon, instead being shipped off for a new missionbut they still managed to commit some of the oldest sins in the newest of ways.

All of this was best summarized by one night, when Aitrus and his parents were asleep near the dig site, where the Romulans came. They destroyed several of the ruins that the Colso’s team were studying, and set fire to many of the buildings surrounding. Several of the other scientists went missing that night; some were killed in the fires, others just disappeared. As the four years of the occupation drew on, sights like this became more and more common, until the planet rose up against them as the Federation fleet came to drive them back out. To this day, Aitrus cannot abide Romulans, and while he knows somewhere within him that not all of them are like those that destroyed so many lives, he still cannot get past that sentiment. After the end of the war, Aitrus tried to get on with his studies. He went to the Vulcan Science Academy in the first class accepted after the war, at the age of 16, but soon grew frustrated with it all. The images he had seen, the deaths he had witnessed, had impacted him far more than he knew, and he couldn’t just ignore them. With his parent’s agreement, he left Vulcan after only two years and transferred to Star Fleet Academy, still pursuing science, but knowing that now he would be able to help people in ways that he would never have been able to had he stayed on Vulcan. While there, he met another cadet named Arthur Flynn, a tactical cadet. They were roommates early on in their careers, and while their class loads soon took them apart, they spent time together whenever possible. After graduation, he was assigned to the USS Philadelphia under Captain Raymond Gage. Here, he met another longtime friend, his first Department Head then-LCdr Quill Dramar, along with his wife, then Ensign Samantha Hart. He fell for her at first sight, and they were inseparable from that point forward. He served briefly in the Second Federation/Romulan War, due to its subsequent termination by the Borg Invasion. Under the command of Captain Ysiadina Lanael, the Philadelphia was thrown to one of the far reaches of the quadrant, there finding an artifact that greatly enhanced the latent abilities of a psychic. During this, however, Aitrus and Samantha grew closer together. Finally, on the darkened ship, which was orbiting lifelessly above a planet, he proposed to Samantha, who agreed then and there. It was perhaps born in the isolation sooner than it might have had the Philadelphia stayed in known space, but their attachment was no less real for that fact. Returning to Federation Space, the Philadelphia was placed in orbit of Vulcan by their new psychically powerful friends, and he and Samantha were married there, before the Philadelphia headed back to Sol for the final battle with the Borg. In the flush of success afterward, Quill was promoted to XO and transferred to a new ship, while Aitrus took over as Department Head. The next few months were a whirlwind, as he and Samantha didn’t even have time for a honeymoon, instead being shipped off for a new mission. Finally, on the planet Pangar some months later, Aitrus had some of the most difficult times of his life since the end of the General War. With Federation citizens clamoring for either protection or independence, Aitrus was caught in a struggle with an enemy which wasn’t is enemy, and froze. Somehow, he made it through safely, no doubt due to the efforts of the security forces the Philly had brought with them. But Aitrus wasn’t the same after that. He and Samantha requested a transfer to SFSI; it was granted, and Aitrus was given command of a small research station on the fringes of Federation territory. Unfortunately, Samantha was caught aboard the Philadelphia, and couldn’t join him for some months.

After they left, however, Samantha finally voiced her frustrations. She was tired of being ignored, which was happening far too often. When he was there, he was the model of a husband; but when he was doing his research, he was gone completely. And she wanted him to be there. He hadn’t been aware of the problem, which just goes to show how deep it went. Knowing what was at stake, however, he put in for a three month leave of absence for the both of them, and went on a worlds tour with her.Their first stop was Earth, as he had seen little of it beyond San Francisco, where they stopped to see her parents. Pent up anger between her and her father, however, turned what could’ve been a wonderful homecoming into a shouting match, as he berated her for first joining Star Fleet and then not even seeking permission or even introducing her new husband for nearly three years. Angry and hurt, Samantha left, followed quickly by Aitrus. Trying to make things better, he took her to Bajor. Their first date, while on the holodeck, had been to the beaches of Bajor, and so he took her there for the first time. They had a wonderful time. Until a group of Maquis, knowing of his scientific work, kidnapped him so that he could turn the project to their uses. After three months being there, Aitrus and Samantha finally escaped, and after a much needed rest, this time on Betazed, the Colsos were ready to get back to work, their strength renewed, and their bond stronger than ever. |Majors=Astrophysics, Gravitational Physics|Minors=History, Archaeology|Hobbies=Chess, reading the latest scientific journals, musicals on occasion with his wife, biographies|Short=Get back on a starship, doing something meaningful|Long=A command, but mostly retirement and settling down with Samantha somewhere|Personality=Laid-back, but not a pushover.
