Mercurius Singletary

Ensign Mercurius Singletary was a human Starfleet officer. He was born 2348. Singletary was a graduate of Starfleet Academy, class of 2366. His first assignment fresh out of the Academy was as a security officer onboard the USS Righteous. When the Chief of Security Lt. Coris Sprint was killed a few hours before the Battle of Wolf 359 in 2367, Ensign Singletary took his place on the bridge. During the battle, the Righteous' shields faltered just long enough for the Collective to beam in a lone Borg drone. The drone linked with the operations control panel. Ensign Singletary tried to isolate the console, but did not have the technical knowledge to complete the task. In his frustration, Singletary tried to shoot the Borg with his phaser, but the drone had already adapted. After being harrassed by Dr. Thaddeus Quint, Singletary tries to physically attack the drone. The drone kills Singletary by bashing his head against the console. A few seconds later, the Borg gains control of the ship's computer and destroys the ship.
