| Biography Russell was born an only child to Maurika and Edward Gilmore on December 30, 1975. He grew up just like any other child in rural South Dakota. He attended school and was always a very bright student, and loved to study and learn about space. He used to spend hours on the roof of his parents just staring up at the stars with his father's telescope. He always dreamed of traveling the stars, but reality set in, and he realized that was just not possible at the time. He continued to be a very good student throughout high school. He graduated in 1992, 3rd in his high school class, and quickly headed off to college to study and begin a career in Mechanical Engineering. after a few months in college, he was having trouble breathing and was experiancing enormous stomach pains. He quickly made his way to the ER, and a few hours later he was diagnosed with an unknown and rare type of cancer. The doctors were certain in time they could develop a cure, just as they did for certain types of cancer a few years earlier. But time was not on Russell's side. Doctors said that he had a few weeks or maybe a month to live. Russell wasn't satisfied with just sitting and waiting to die, so Russell and his parents visited a newly founded company called, Stasis Corps, who would put you in cryogenic stasis until a cure could be found for your disease. After careful consideration, Russell decided that this was the only other choice, aside from dying. On November 13, 1994, Russell was put into cryogenic stasis. In the few years after Russell was put in stasis, the cure for the disease had been put on hold since it was so rare, and researchers were devoting more of their time to developing an AIDS cure that was on the horizon. In 1996, the Eugenics War began and many of these "Cryogenic Companies" were fearful of their frozen patients lives, so they sent them (while in stasis) into space onboard an Earth orbiting ship that could be brought back by remote control. Russell's frozen body was placed aboard (along with 20 others) an orbiting ship. But during the orbit procedure, sometimes happened in the navigation controls, and the ship began to drift away from Earth... for the next 375 years. In 2361, the Federation starship Sitak spotted a strange vessel in low orbit of the uninhabited planet, Rokarus 3. When the crew beamed aboard the vessel, they found that only three of the original 20 Cryo-Tubes were still operational. They quickly revived the three people, and luckily, Russ was one of them. They easily cured his disease, and Russell was as good as new with a basic "Second Chance" in a new century. At first, Russell was so busy answering peoples questions and learning new things that he had little time to think about his future. But in 2363, after months of consideration, Russell entered Starfleet Academy. He excelled there also, but was kind of looked upon as an outcase because of his age. Russell didn't really care because he was there for one reasonl to acquire the knowledge needed to explore space, and defend the Federation. He graduated in 2367 with emphasis on Command and Science. he could barely control his excitement after being informed that he would serve as Science Officer aboard the USS Montana. Finally...his dream had come true. He served on board the Montana for 3 years before being transferred to the USS Endeavor as Chief Flight Control Officer in 2374, with the rank of Lt. Junior Grade. For the next 2.5 years, he continued to serve as CFCO until the Endeavor's Executive Officer was killed during a fight with a Dominion Attack Cruiser. Commander Castillo (CO), named Russell his new Exceutive Officer, with the rank of Lieutenant. Russ has served as XO aboard the Endeavor until 2380, when the USS Endeavor was decommissioned. Currently, Russell is now the Executive Officer of the USS Hades, NCC-81555. |
