Early Career

Austin came aboard the Atlantis after transferring from the USS Enterprise-E. He learned a lot coming from one of the top flag ships in all of star-fleet and he wanted to try his hand with being a junior officer under an experienced officer. Little did he know though that shortly after his arrival, CTO Aja Showell would be departing from the Atlantis, making Austin the acting CTO. In his new duty, he helped to round up all of the prisoners who had broken free from their cells after they had been safely tranquilized in cargo bay 6. Captain Mahikoa heard this and he was promoted to full Chief Tactical Officer.

As CTO

While on an away mission to figure out a mystery as to whom gave a mysterious pill to the ship's counselor, Austin lost his cool when they were dealing with a Ferengi merchant. This was due to a situation earlier in his academy days that occurred between him and a Ferengi who happened to sell him a padd that was found to be stolen. He never got his money back from the Ferengi since he didn't have the item with him. Since that day, he's had a great dislike for Ferengi. After his little episode, Austin decided to take some time off to gather himself.

He went off to the planet Risa where he met a young Trill woman named Tiana. They started talking and before long, they knew that they liked each other. After spending some time together dating, Austin finally proposed to Tiana. As they were discussing wedding plans, Tiana happened to receive a call from her dad on Trill, saying that she's been picked to be joined to a symbiont that had recently reached the proper age to receive a host.

Austin told her dad about the marriage and he seemed happy that his daughter found someone to love, but he was worried about where the relationship would go once Tiana was joined. Tiana felt that no matter what, her feelings for Austin could never be changed. She arranged to leave Risa in the evening the following day.

Austin also arranged a transport to head back to the Atlantis, wanting to get back to the ship after being gone for so long. He told Tiana that he would ask his captain if she could have a position on the ship as a science officer. They parted ways, knowing that they would be seeing each other again soon.

Once Austin got back to the ship, he talked to Captain Mahikoa about getting the proper arrangements and she was more than happy to make the proper arrangements. Now Austin looks forward to the day that he and his love are together once more.
