Kristen Larkin

Ops Chief and Third-in-Command of the Explorer, Kristen Larkin spent much of her carreer as helm officer aboard the Secondprize. A clumsily-assembled android with an uncertain past, Lt. Commander Larkin was fascinated with penguins and had a vast database capable of embarrassing her less knowledgeable superiors. She was transferred to the Aerostar in 2374. On the Aerostar her truly distinctive act was becoming, for a short time, the god of a tribe of humanoid penguins. That didn't work out and she had to return to Aerostar. After serving for a year at ops officer of the Aerostar, in the Delta Quadrant, she was made aware that Lt. Commander Chris Richards is her, well, "Mommie," and Chris Henricks, through a diabolical brain-stealing scheme, was her "Daddie." She went on to serve on the Explorer, after Aerostar returned to the Alpha Quadrant and was destroyed, and served with distinction. Notably, Larkin was responsible for going back in time, thanks to a drunken Conway and Dr. Leonard McCoy, and getting a good old fashioned rogering from a misled James T. Kirk. She has kept the sample to this day ("A Stitch in Time" [VEX]). When she presumably gave her life to stop Commander Ardek on Crysta and was re-built, Larkin went on to think of Richards as her father AND mother ("Birds of a Feather", "Starting from Scratch" [VEX]). She got to meet, and was sexually harassed by, Lt. Commander Data of the Enterprise, in 2376 ("Generation Gap" [VEX]). Unbeknownst to her, the her that sacrificed herself to kill Ardek re-surfaced helping Ardek run a casino in Romulan Territory ("Double or Nothing" [VEX]) and then surfaced again after being abandoned by Ardek and after acquiring, certain emotions ("Positronically Yours" [VEX]). Larkin herself acquired emotions too, and to this day cries every time she sees an AT&T commercial.
