Starfleet Academy Groundskeeper

Some people may be familiar with Boothby played by Ray Walston, who past away in 2001. And there is a Memorial for the character in game at the academy. It accord to me that it would still be great to have someone to fill the role in game, not just as a groundskeeper, but as someone who could give sage advice in a way similar to how Boothby did to cadets. And I though who could work, and I realized that Keiko O'Brien might be a good fit. With Miles becoming a Professor at the Academy, and her being a Botanist, tending to the arboretum on the Enterprise D, she might have been interested in the position so to be close to Miles. And being married to a Starfleet Officer she might have a unique insight to the effects the career can have on someone. I could also see her being also called on to help with studying plant life in the mycelial network with her botany knowledge.

Just as long as she doesn't try to get Miles to destroy the moon for her to free the Moon Wraiths.

"Sage" advice from a herbalist!

PS: I like your idea, I knew we once had Professor Jefferson Hawk, and familiar that Miles also left to become a Professor there. Though I really like your idea about Keiko as a Botanist, who perhaps takes on the Role Boothby once filled.

My idea was different from yours however, but focused on why haven't we seen more Professors, that can also extend crafting in some schools.

If a Grounds-Keeper were to ever be added, it had better be a Holographic Boothby. Kinda like they did with Leta on DS9 and Drozana. No other grounds-keeper could ever replace Boothby! - IMHO

Well, the actor who played Boothby past away, so if it were to talk to players it have to be lines from the show or maybe if they got permission from any other works he did. But I kind of feel like the character really wouldn't have like a holographic version of himself wondering around after his death.

Dark humor: a necro seems appropriate in this one case.

Like the actor, the time to think about adding them into STO has now passed.
