Life Summary:
- 2477: Dallas is born to a middle-class family on the homeworld of their grandparents, Santo, which orbited the 34 Tauri star known as Qin Shi Huang. It was Earth-like, and had normal yellow sunlight in its daytime skies. If you didn’t know you were there, you probably couldn’t tell it was different from most places back on Earth. He grew up playing sports, getting in and out of minor trouble, and being a normal boy.
- 2480-2492: age 4 – 16, In school, he did alright, but where he really shined was military training. Even though he wasn’t the fastest, strongest, toughest, or smartest, he was “all heart”, and his instructors noticed; he would go far.
- 2493-2498: age 16 – 21, Rising through the enlisted ranks was like breathing for the young man, and he devoted himself entirely to every job (role/billet) and task (order).
- 2499-2503: age 22 – 26, Once he became a Staff NCO, everyone could plainly see this former “nobody” was made for a career in the service. The term they use is “lifer”; Dallas would stay in as long as they’d let him.
- 2504-2509: 27 – 32, Orders took him from one unit and post to the next, and he served with distinction and pride at them all. He got noticed by his latest Commanding Officer (CO), and that man thought he could use a well-deserved “less intense” assignment (that CO having assumed that a giant new Space-based carrier would be well-staffed enough to make it less intense than all the smaller ships and outposts which often had more noise and demands while often being understaffed).
- 2510: The Inisfreeans weren’t sure it was a good idea to bring such a human onboard their social-experiment starship; Dallas sometimes had a temper, and had been completely patriotic and brainwashed since a very early age. He worshipped military service more than the service members he served with, so there was always a chance he was just one step away from becoming what some call “type A”. Knowing what a short fuse their maker could also have/exhibit/choose, they advised him on this matter… and then honored his decision to give the typical human enlistedman a chance.
- 2517: age 40, He is serving as the Chief Armorer aboard the USS TNH. Anytime a human crew-member on that ship has a question about a weapon, or needs to check on out, or ensure one is perfectly clean and ready for action, he is the best guy to talk to.
- 2530: age 53, Master Sergeant McNamara had lost his cool a few times on Auz, but also on just about everyone else, so he would never make it to pre-selection for hearing about Inisfree, much less visiting it. Still, he was respected by its King, and they parted ways peacefully, if not in peace.

2540s Update:
Auz knows all too well what it feels like to be stressed, around people who don’t seem to be pulling their own weight, and losing his cool; he cannot blame Dallas for the times these two men locked horns a bit, nor would he ever judge him for what Auz himself had done quite a few times aboard previous vessels. Once a year or so, he gives Dallas a call to catch up, seeing how the old friend is doing. Dallas has calmed down a lot since their service together aboard TNH, and chats with him more like a drinking buddy now, still, of course, occasionally getting in the odd good-natured ‘jab’, joking about one TNH memory or another.
