Teresa Garcia

Teresa Garcia was an archaeologist turned Federation Department of Temporal Investigations field agent in the late 24th century. She was a young woman in her thirties with long black hair and large dark eyes.

In 2366, on Stardate 43021.5, Garcia was aboard the transport Verity on her way to the Regulus III Science Academy. However, the ship, along with all 38 people on board, was displaced in time in the Regulus sector when it encountered a cosmic string Kerr loop.

Fifteen years two months and four days later, the Verity emerged in March 2381. The passengers and crew, except for Garcia, elected to try and travel back in time through the temporal vortex and warn the Federation about the forthcoming Borg attacks, which they learned about from a ship that answered their distress call. However, uncomfortable about changing history, Garcia sabotaged the Verity's engines to prevent it from going back through the vortex and was promptly assaulted by the crew once they discovered her in the act.

When the USS Everett (NCC-72392) arrived nearly two days later, Garcia and the rest of the unwilling time travellers were questioned by DTI field agents Marion Dulmur and Gariff Lucsly. Impressed with Garcia's instinct for time, Dulmur offered to sponsor her admission to the DTI Academy which she accepted.

While in training at DTI Headquarters in Greenwich, Garcia was counseled by Clare Raymond who worked for the DTI's Temporal Displacement Division. She helped Garcia relate to her previously eight years junior brother who was now seven years her senior and a veteran of the Dominion War and recent Borg invasion. Garcia also fell instantly in lust with Deltan special agent Meyo Ranjea who was helping her, and the other trainees, to deal with the psychological stresses of the job.

Later in 2381, after earning her badge as a provisional field agent, Garcia was partnered with Agent Ranjea for her first field assignment charged with investigating the Axis of Time claimed by the Vomnin Confederacy. En route to the Axis of Time aboard the USS Capitoline, Garcia attempted to seduce Ranjea but was politely and professionally rebuffed. Luckily, her lustful advance did not ruin their working relationship.
