Personal History		Patricia Martin Cooke was born on April 16, 2370 to Harold and Shirley (nee Martin) Cooke on Utopia Colony on Mars, where her father worked as an engineer at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. Patricia was one of the first grandchildren of Captain Francine Cooke, who at that time was a reservist in the Starfleet Marine Corps. When Patricia was 3, her grandmother was called to active duty following the outbreak of the Dominion War. At this time, Patricia's parents opted to sell the townhouse they owned at Utopia Colony and move to Chicagoland on Earth so that watching over Grandma Francine's house would be easier, even if it meant a longer commute for Patricia's father. In 2374, Patricia's younger sister, Marion, was born. When Patricia's grandmother finally came home in 2376 after resigning her commission, much of Patricia's late childhood and early adolescence was spent listening to her grandmother's war stories and the adventures she had during her service aboard the USS Missouri. As a tween, Patricia became interested in learning her family's history, and discovered that Francine hadn't been the only Cooke to serve aboard a Missouri; for many generations ago, Patricia's ancestor, Harry Francis Cooke, had served aboard the Iowa class battleship of Earth's Second World War, and had been considered a plank owner of the historic vessel, meaning he had been aboard the Missouri when she was commissioned in 1944. In 2385, Patricia heard from her father that Starfleet was building a new Missouri, and Patricia aspired to one day serve aboard her, just like Grandma Francine and ancestor Harry. In 2386, Patricia dropped out of high school to sign up for Starfleet Academy, lying about her age to the recruiter to get in, just as her ancestor had done centuries prior. In the Academy, Patricia was placed on the security track, and was assigned to share quarters with Akira Kogami; a washed up former child actress hoping that Starfleet was her ticket to turning her life around. However, Patricia became a firsthand witness to Akira's notorious temper, which had followed her from junior high school, and patricia began to doubt her bunkmate's ability to be able to pull off what Kogami had said she was setting out to do. Patricia also introduced Akira to the old time blues music she had listened to with her grandmother, and Patricia inspired in her bunkmate an interest which soon became a fascination, and soon, Patricia and Akira roped in some of their fellow musically-inclined cadets and formed a blues band called The Soul Sisters, which began playing local bars and restaurants in the San Francisco area. The Soul Sisters peaked when the band played at an Academy talent show, performing their rendition of "Sweet Home Chicago." to a packed Academy auditorium. The Soul Sisters were voted one of the best performances that night, and Patricia, Akira, and the other band members were awarded some well-earned luxury replicator rations. In Patricia's sophomore year at the Academy, the new USS Missouri was commissioned, and Patricia did her best to keep up with the Missouri's adventures with what Starfleet made available. Patricia came to develop an admiration of the Missouri's captain, Kagami Izumi, coming to view her story as a modern day fairy tale. In 2390, Patricia graduated from Starfleet Academy with the rank of Ensign and was assigned to the USS Joliet, a Nova class starship, as a security officer. She would remain aboard the Joliet for 3 years, earning herself a promotion to Lieutenant JG during that time. In 2392, Patricia's grandmother was hospitalized with fluid in her lungs. Despite the best efforts of the hospital staff, they were unable to drain Francine's lungs without surgery; surgery that the 82 year old was not expected to survive. As the executor of his mother's estate, Patricia's father made the difficult decision to place Francine into hospice. Knowing that her grandmother wouldn't have long to live, Patricia made her way back to Earth as quickly as she could to say her goodbyes. Major Francine Cooke, aged 82, veteran of the Cardassian and Dominion Wars, passed away a few days after Patricia arrived back home. Patricia's sister Marion remaining by their grandmother's side until the last morning of Francine's life, when Marion left to clean herself up, promising her grandmother that she would be back, not knowing that those would be the last words she would say to Francine. Patricia was understandably grief-stricken, as one of her inspirations for joining Starfleet was now gone. She was so caught up in her own grief that she was unaware that her hero, Kagami Izumi, had stepped down following her own personal tragedy. At Francine's wake, both Akira and Lieutenant Shishod Libir, the Joliet's Chief of Security, showed up to pay their respects to Francine, with the latter playing Patricia a public announcement that the Joliet's Betazoid captain made marking Francine's passing with a speech on the debt her species owed the Starfleet Marine Corps for their vital role in liberating Betazed near the end of the Dominion War, even though Betazed had never been Francine's theater of operations. Patricia was touched by the announcement, and told Shishod to extend her thanks to the captain once he returned to the Joliet. Following the memorial mass, Akira joined Patricia's family for the repast at one of Francine's favorite restaurants; the Rose Garden Café. A few days later, at a smaller ceremony attended only by Patricia's family, Francine was officially laid to rest at the Jonathan Archer Federation Cemetery with full Starfleet and Starfleet Marine Corps honors. In 2393, Patricia was reassigned to the USS Fort Wayne, a Defiant class starship, to become the ship's Assistant Chief of Security. She was assigned as an assistant department head on a smaller starship as a means of testing her leadership abilities over a smaller sample size. The test proved successful, as Patricia was promoted to Full Lieutenant in 2394. That year, the Missouri, now under the command of Captain Aika Tenku, disappeared while operating in the Fort Wayne's sector, and the Fort Wayne was one of the vessels involved in the two year search for the Intrepid class starship. However, the search was unsuccessful, and the Missouri was declared lost with all hands in 2396. Though Patricia tried not to let the Missouri's loss affect her work, it became evident to her that it was weighing on her, and the quality of her work was slipping as a result, and so she requested a leave of absence to sort herself out. These were the last memories of the "original" Patricia before the accident. During her shore leave, Patricia visited a Risian amusement park and got on a ride which utilized transporter technology. However, while she was on the ride, the ride malfunctioned, trapping Patricia and several other guests in the ride's transporter matrix. The ride was shut down immediately, and ride staff were able to recover the transporter patterns of the trapped guests and evacuate the ride without incident. However, during a post-closure inspection of the ride vehicles, park staff discovered that the auxiliary transporter matrix for the ride vehicle in which Patricia had been riding was active, and the transporter patterns of its occupants at the time of breakdown were still stored, even though the guests in that vehicle had already been rescued. The patterns were rematerialized, and the duplicate Patricia and her fellow duplicated riders were whisked to a backstage area, where they were made to fill out paperwork acknowledging their status as transporter duplicates before being whisked to a Risian medical center for further evaluation. After being cleared by the Risian doctors as stable, the duplicate Patricia returned to Starfleet for yet another evaluation. The Starfleet scientists that looked her over determined that she was an exact clone of Patricia, with memories and experiences up to the point of duplication intact. Following a period of rehabilitation, the duplicate Patricia was cleared for service, being given a provisional rank equal to that which the original held at the time of the accident. Pulling from her memories and her time with the Soul Sisters, the duplicate Patricia decided to adopt her Soul Sisters identity full time, and became known as "Joliet" Jane Cooke
