Introduction
The purpose of this page is to explain my own persepctive for the story We, the Living Dead.

Katie Jacobson
Katie is featured in the screenplay "We, the Living Dead" by Shlomi Fish. Here is what he has to say about her character:

I originally pictured Katie as a prime member of Othello Task Force, which were aimed to be the subject and title of an idea for a new Star Trek series I was playing with. Then when I started writing "We, the Living Dead", she seemed perfect for inclusion as one of the most active characters.

Katie is a programmer, and software enthusiast (so-called Hacker), which is something I can personally relate to. I was told that in the Star Trek "utopia" programmers and many other computer workers were made obsolete, which may be the case, but I still pictured them in there, because it's more fun for me this way as an author.

I believe the character of Katie is quite an anti-thesis to many other "superwomen" and "supermen" characters of the new crop of Star Trek series: she hates guns and doesn't carry a phaser ( "My job does not require me to carry one anyway."), she's mostly clueless around computer hardware, and she tends to get excited or frustrated throughout the story. Nevertheless, I believe she is a strong female, showing competency, sexual assertiveness and other qualities I admire in women.
