Lounge to assist PO1 Finis with the injured as the Pegasus set a course for Starbase 211.
====Ghosts and Nightmares====
The Pegasus ventured out for a diplomatic mission in the Bralen system with Ambassador Sanor whose intentions were to resolve an ongoing conflict between the races of Bralen and Rondel. While on course towards Bralen VII, the Pegasus picked up signals from another vessel nearby. Initial scans provided just enough detail to suspect the vessel was of Federation design - the metallic components making up the armour and the faint warp particles known only to exist within Federation warp cores. On closer examination, the vessel was identified as the USS Gryphon, a Federation Battleship that was declared lost almost fifty years earlier.
In regards to Moriarty, he was forced to endure nightmarish visions of his late fiancés death and how he felt guilty for what happened. He saw a group of his Star Fleet friends and colleagues all gathered round him and Ben Fulton’s body, accusing and blaming Moriarty for Ben’s death. When he finally broke out of the nightmare, Moriarty was emotionally and mentally traumatised and unable to move at first. Eventually he fought to rise back and bring an end to the rift. He carefully calculated the necessary modifications for antimatter torpedoes that were strong enough to destroy the Gryphon, create a second rift and allow the two anomalies to engulf each other and dissipate simultaneously. The Away Team found a shuttle and made their way back to the Pegasus where they watched Moriarty’s solution unfold and succeed.
====Jumping Ship====
After the events of the Gryphon, Moriarty was promoted to the position of Chief Science Officer which only encouraged him to get his mind properly seen to. He signed himself up for multiple Counselling sessions back on Starbase Bravo in an attempt to repair his mind. Captain Tokat was called back to his home planet with Ambassador Sanor and the Pegasus was decommissioned meaning whatever was left of its crew was to be transferred. After days of shore leave with nothing to do, Moriarty became bored and anxious to get back out on Active Duty. Thankfully it wasn’t long before he was called to the office of Captain Derrick Grant, who welcomed him aboard his ship, the USS Dauntless – an Avenger class vessel similar to Moriarty’s first assignment on the Ticonderoga. His only hope was that his time aboard the Dauntless would last a little longer.
Starting their newest assignment aboard the USS Dauntless alongside Moriarty were Commander Edward Gregg, Ensign Alaurien P’lonnos and Lieutenant Acenvar Crystillin – the latter now being a very good friend of his after helping him recover from his mental trauma on the Bridge of the Gryphon.
====Desertion====
Before the crew of the USS Dauntless had the opportunity to jump into their mission, Anthony received word from Star Base Command that his brother, Jonathan had been killed in action. Unable to cope with the news at the time, Anthony deserted his post with Star Fleet and returned to Earth to stay upon the farm in Moneygurney, Ireland. At the time, Marie Fulton was still alive and present at the farm and despite not having any reluctance to allow Anthony to stay, there was tension between the two – he hadn't been in contact with her since he left the farm at 18 – not even when Ben, her son, died. After five months of cohabitance, Marie passed away by natural causes – she was quite an old mother when she had Ben. Anthony stayed with her through her last moments and listened as she instructed him to “claim back the life that was meant for you”. Anthony took those words very meaningfully and made an appeal to Star Fleet to allow him to return to active duty. They agreed on the condition that he would return to the rank of Midshipman and begin climbing up the career ladder once more from the bottom. ===USS Pegasus, CL-2500=== ====Double Trouble====Now under the command of his previous Commanding Officer, Captain Grant, Moriarty was given an assignment as Science Officer aboard the USS Pegasus. Being the ship that he spent the majority of his earlier career aboard, Anthony considered the assignment to be Star Fleet's method of easing him back into duty. Initially things were tense under the circumstances of being assigned to the same Science Department he had deserted before, under the command of the officer who had replaced him, Lieutenant Commander Zephyr Praise. Within minutes of their first official meeting, Moriarty made a point of mentioning her apparent friendship with his former lover, Acenvar Crystillin – the Vulcan Hybrid he was in a relationship with at the time of his desertion and had maintained radio silence with since leaving. As the interview continued, it became clear that Moriarty held some resentment over Praise treating him like a complete rookie who had only just started out with Star Fleet, irreverant of his former position as Chief Science Officer – Zephyr made it clear that she was in charge and Moriarty would simply have to accept that. His first night aboard the Pegasus included an arranged meal with Acenvar Crystillin, that Moriarty believed would be an opportunity for the two to rekindle their relationship with one another and pick up where they left off once he had explained his sudden departure and apologised. In reality, it seemed Crystillin had become bitter and resentful of Moriarty and had instead prepared the dinner as an opportunity to bring an official end to their partnership. An argument between the two became aggressive with both parties throwing insults and negative remarks to one another before Moriarty eventually got up and left the room, crumbling against the door in the corridor outside in tears. The two men made peace with one another and called it a night. On his way back to his Quarters, Moriarty bumped into Aethelwulf Von Brandt – a Medical Officer who had previously served on the USS Endeavour while his brother, Jonathan was his Department Head. Moriarty was invited back to Wolf's Quarters where the two discussed Jonathan and his passing. It became clear during their conversation that Moriarty was romantically interested in Aethelwulf, and now that his relationship with Crystillin had come to a definite end, he was willing to move on. During the mission aboard the Pegasus, Moriarty was witness to a sequence of events that led to the creation of duplicates for every member of the crew, including himself. While they seem harmless at first, the clones start generating fear and distrust among the crew – not at all helped by Crystillin's act of placing the ship in Grey Mode. With no power and half the normal amount of breathable oxygen to sustain twice the amount of crew, Moriarty attempts to figure out a way of powering the ship back up. Meanwhile, his clone finds a way to the Auxiliary Bridge to access Deflector Controls hoping to kickstart power by absorbing power from a tractor beam holding the ship in orbit of a planet where Captain Grant has taken an Away Team. When the original Moriarty is told to head to the Auxiliary Bridge and set up a Secondary Command post, he runs into his clone along with Illia Oberon-Crystillin – the woman that Acenvar married in Moriarty's absence. Moriarty opposes the clone's idea of shutting down the little life support they have in order to give Deflector Control power to start up and when his clone goes ahead and initiates the process anyway, Moriarty shoots and kills him, but is too late to stop life support shutting down. When life support is restored, Illia leaves Moriarty on the Auxiliary Bridge alone where he is then stunned by the Chief of Security, assuming him to be a duplicate. Upon his reawakening, Moriarty helps Medical Officer Spencer find a way of deciphering clones aboard the ship from the original crew before heading back to his Quarters. When the Pegasus returned to Starbase Bravo, she was decommissioned once more, bringing an end to a chapter in Moriarty's life and encouraging him to make a change for himself. ====Mind Over Matter====The events of the Pegasus mission leave Moriarty questioning himself a great deal. The clones aboard the ship were reported to be identical copies of their counterparts, transferring not just DNA and physical characteristics but also memories and personality traits as well meaning that when Moriarty shot and killed his clone, he was essentially killing himself. This thought scares him and makes him wonder how much he has changed from the man he was before Ben and Jonathan died, before all the trauma in his life, and whether there is a possible way of returning to that man. He begins researching several different therapies and treatments that have been tried historically and uncovers the practice of a Vulcan Mind Meld to repress traumatic memories as nothing more than dream-like images that one may look back on and recall without being emotionally compromised. He calls for the assistance of Acenvar Crystillin to conduct the Mind Meld, wary of the fact that things may only be made worse by his presence as they did not leave on the best of terms with one another – Moriarty was not informed of his new marriage and instead was forced to find out from the woman herself. When they first enter the Mind Meld, they are positioned within a Starship corridor resembling those of the USS Pegasus. All along the corridor on either side are doors with different stardates on them relating to significant dates and memories within Moriarty's life. The hallway is very dark and the atmosphere is cold, signifying Moriarty's mental state at current. Entering the first room they see, Moriarty and Crystillin are met with a scene from Moriarty's past – the day he moved into his apartment in San Francisco with Benjamin Fulton. Witnessing straight away how happy he used to be, he realises that the unfolding events within this Mind Meld are not going to be pleasant. Backing out of the room and into the corridor again, Moriarty and Crystillin find themselves walking along a carpet soaked in blood – blood being one of Moriarty's biggest fears. As he becomes anxious and more mentally unstable, a personage identical to Crystillin appears. He seems to have the ability to read Moriarty's thoughts, being a part of his mind and starts taunting both men in the corridor, telling Moriarty that he can be trusted because as he points out, he is the version of Crystillin that Moriarty was previously in a relationship with – the man he fell in love with. Moriarty rebukes the vision by stating that he may not always approve of Crystillin's lack of emotional empathy but knows that the real Crystillin would help him as he has done many times before, including the Mind Meld. Moriarty's opposition of this mental image seems to defeat the vision of Crystillin who very suddenly disappears from sight. As they progress further down the hall, Moriarty sees one of the doors is slightly ajar, with the light above it sparking and fizzing. Summarising that this room must contain Moriarty's most influential nightmares that are seeping out of control, Moriarty decides they must enter and face whatever is inside the room in order to solve the issues he has. Upon entering the room, Moriarty and Crystillin are met with the scene of three bodies lying on the ground before them. One by one the three rise from the floor covered in injuries relating to their deaths – the first being Ben who fell from the apartment balcony, the second being Jonathan who was stabbed to death and the third being the Moriarty clone, who was shot in the head. The three reanimated corpses start accusing Moriarty of being responsible for their deaths and how he could have saved them if he hadn't been so weak, selfish and cowardly. The room around them starts to shake violently and lose structural integrity as Moriarty starts to freak out emotionally. TBC ====Shoreleave Activities====Shortly after being back on Starbase Bravo, Moriarty and Wolf agree to spend time with each other alone by taking a vacational trip to Risa where they rent a beach-house and a boat for themselves and relax in each others company. It is here that they make an official start to their relationship with each other and discuss how they intend to progress once they return to active duty. Moriarty at this point is still only recently thought to be 'recovered' from his mental traumas and is still reluctant to trust himself getting close to someone else but is very quickly reassured by Wolf that all will be well between them. Eventually, after a week of lounging in the sun, the two agree that upon their assignment to a new ship that they should move in with each other. After returning from his vacation on Risa with Wolf, Moriarty spends the rest of his shoreleave time on Starbase Bravo awaiting his next assignment. He and Wolf have been spending a lot of time with each other behind the scenes but Moriarty tries to involve with others on the Starbase as well, finding that he now has a new lease of life. He engages in a holonovel program with his former Chief turned friend, Zephyr Praise that is centred around two FBI Agents in the late 20th Century that are called out to investigate strange, extraterrestrial reports in the United States but inevitably find very little evidence of alien life. Moriarty thoroughly enjoys the program and believes that he and Praise make quite a good team when it comes to detective work, declaring that he hopes that are more times in their future to spend running similar programs. As well as meeting with Praise, Moriarty also bumps into a Junior Medical Officer by the name of Vari Toreen. They meet within the Last Call Pub one day when he is cramming information about Medical Science as a way of impressing Wolf more. The two of them enjoy a drink together and apparently get along well with each other – he notices a change within himself and is pleased that he is finally starting to act differently since the Mind Meld. A couple of weeks pass before Moriarty is officially promoted to Ensign and granted a position aboard the USS Gettysburg as a Science Officer. He accepts the position, although insists that Wolf be offered a position on the ship with him – something he already had been. Moriarty is thankful for the opportunity and to have the knowledge that Wolf will be with him given that the Gettysburg was the last ship that Jonathan served on before his untimely death. |MajorsMajor=Computer Science, Astronomy and Physics|MinorsMinor=Xeno-linguistics, Engineering and Tactical|Hobbies=Using Holoholo-novels.
