Profile
Belle is loyal, intelligent and highly skilled. She believes in the Indie cause, but is not willing to sacrifice lives needlessly. She's prone to taking risks if there is even a slight chance of success, but hasn't lost a ship yet to technical failures or malfunctions. She often steps in to keep the peace onboard ship, and is an excellent mediator. The quickest way to annoy her is to damage 'her' ship or treat it badly.
Mary-Beth (Nicknamed Belle, because of her accent) was born on a Company owned Biodome orbiting around Delta Pavonis in the Hydrus triangle. In her teens she was given a corporate scholarship at the Pavonis technical institute, where she passed Engineering with distinction, but to repay the sponsoring corporation for her scholarship she had to take up a 10 year indentured contract.
She converted to Indies after two years of monotonous work - she wanted to break free of Company control of her life, and pre-vent what had happened to her happening to others. She started by performing technical work at the Indie shipyards around Metallake, and was promoted to Shipboard engineer on the modified Tug Hard Wire. After serving on several other ships, she eventually headed her own technical crew and commanded the refit of several ships including overseeing part of the refit of the UNO.
She impressed Captain Hayes during her refit of the Red Shirt, and he requested her as Shipboard engineer. She transferred to the Spartacus when the Red shirt was lost, and supervised the refit of that ship too. The Spartacus is a testament to her engineering skills with many modifications to enhance its performance over the standard Navy spec. |
