Hello! I'm bookdragon and have two characters here:
Security Chief Sam Giotto - old guy on the ship. He's a friend of Pike's who is trying to keep his friend's reckless young protege alive.
Ann Mulhall (seek_new_life) - astrobiologist and materials/biomechanics specialist. Uhura might have run into her at the Academy as Ann was there is 2257 working on her doctorate and pretty much lived in the library and xenobio labs. They should get along pretty well - other than the fact that Ann would never (willingly) go to a club and thinks insects are cool, they have similar personalities.
