Proficiencies: Since his days at the Academy, Lt. Dakin has immersed himself in the arts of individual, unit-based, and capital-scale warfare. He is rated as an Expert with the Type II phaser, is highly skilled in the use of shipboard tactical systems, and has a high degree of proficiency in unarmed martial arts. He has years of experience in wartime situations and decorations to that effect, almost to an amount belying his youth. Since transferring to Station 419, Lt. Dakin has found an opportunity to hone his abilities in the area of law enforcement, gaining knowledge in the areas of criminal interview, forensic pathology, and crime scene investigation.
Deficiencies: Lt. Dakin has a marked deficiency in the areas of interstellar diplomacy, which has proven to be an obstacle when prosecuting crimes across jurisdictions. As such, the lieutenant has something of a disdain for diplomatic personnel, though there are exceptions to be named as those the lieutenant has personally befriended. Lt. Dakin also has difficulties in the engineering aspects of tactical systems, a deficiency he is already on the path to removing.
