Claire Webber

As the counselor assigned to the USS Secondprize, Webber was always ready with a shoulder to cry on or a bone-shattering bear hug. Webber was able to successfully open negotiations between the Kynaxins and the Oloni, and save the life of Commander Dillon, when she gained the respect of the violent Oloni by facing the feared Stuyluppo. The Stuyluppo, whose howling the Oloni feared so greatly, turned out to be an injured, space-dwelling life form who had crashed on the moon of Kynax where the Oloni lived. ("Claire Webber; The Hugging Hunter" [TRK]) Webber also stepped in to help learn the identity of the unfortunate woman Dillon had taken a liking to on the Secondprize and to console her once her identity was revealed. ("Reason to Panic" [TRK]) On Stardate 49805, Counselor Webber was left in command of the Secondprize while Rydell, Dillon, and Jaroch beamed down to the Joegonot homeworld of Ugilious. She used this opportunity to make the ship "happier" by ordering bunnies painted in the corridors and instituting and hourly hug time. Webber relinquished command to Lieutenant Beck when she realized that the approaching Joegonot ship had pretty much ruined her chances of a happy ship. After this event, Rydell decided never to leave Webber in command again. ("Star Traks 1" [TRK]) After Commander Baird was struck with amnesia on Stardate 49830, Webber attempted to retrain him to be friendlier. On the suggestion of Baird's girlfriend, Emily Sullivan, this training was expanded to totally reform Baird into the boyfriend Sullivan had always wanted. For her part in this, Webber was a victim of the same joke Baird pulled on Sullivan and Lisa Beck when he regained his memory. ("Star Traks 3" [TRK]) Approximately two years later, Jaroch sought Webber's help in dealing with an argument occurring between his past lives. With her assistance, he was able to temporarily silence the voices. ("Family Counseling" [TRK]) However, by Stardate 51543, the situation had worsened to the point that Jaroch's health was in danger. Webber, along with Dr. Aldridge, accompanied Jaroch back to Yyns to participate in his Seratch. Jaroch asked Webber to serve as his Tersu during this ceremony. He also later confided in her about his feelings for Hawkins, noting that he had come to value his relationship with Webber. ("Star Traks 6" [TRK]) When she was not on the Secondprize, Webber maintained a residence on Rigel. ("Star Traks 3" [TRK])
