Personal Biography
Mike was born August 18, 2129 to the
union of Marshall and Gina Brentwood.
His ancestors had been engineers in
the auto industry in Detroit until
other means of transport forced them
to upgrade their skills to more
complex means of conveyance. By the
time, Mike was old enough to walk, he
was told about an ancestor whose name
is almost lost in history, but he was
told her name was Lily. According to
his grandmother, she was the engineer
who helped Zephram Cochrane build the
warpship that attracted the Vulcans to
Earth, but she had no real proof of
it.
In high school, he excelled in
mathematics and physical science, and
took first place in many science fairs
and calculus competitions. He
graduated at the age of 17 from high
school with High Honors. After he
finished his Master's Degree in
Nuclear Physics and Warp Dynamics from
the Wayne State University, School of
Warp Engineering, he wanted to go into
Starfleet, but his father, a Warp Core
Specialist on the ECA Freighter
Papillion, forbade him from it. He
thought exploring was a waste of time
and he should go into the ECA like him
and his uncles had. Having no wish to
disrespect his father, though he was
old enough to make his own decisions,
he did as he was directed and joined
his father's ship.
Because of his degree, something his
dad never got, he was commissioned and
started off as a Crewman in the ship's
Engineering Department. He served
seven years in the ECA, five on the
Papillion and two on the Hyperion, a
larger Atlas Class Freighter. During
his last year on the Hyperion, he got
the news that his father had been
killed along with his uncle, Tyrone,
the ship's Helmsman when the ship was
attacked by a ship of unknown
configuration and stripped of its
cargo and all the crew murdered. He
was heartbroken and after his father's
funeral, he resigned his commission in
the ECA, in which he had reached the
rank of Officer (the equivalent of Lt
Commander in Starfleet) and entered
Starfleet Academy, hoping to finally
do what he always wanted, explore the
galaxy and discover who it was that
murdered his father and uncle.
