Craig Clarkson is the Ghost 1's systems engineer. His normally calm exterior disappears quickly under stress, at which point the pessimism and self-preservation kicks in. He is, however, a brilliant engineer and adapts well to alien technology.

Fiction

[edit]

Ghosts of Yesterday

[edit]

Shortly after the Ghost 1 was launched, Clarkson voiced his opinion that they were all likely to die on the mission, given it was based almost entirely on theory. Captain Walker responded with a lecture. As they began their slingshot maneuver, Clarkson reported that they were exceeding expected maximum speeds. A short time later, the crew was rendered unconscious as the ship passed through a wormhole and landed up in an unknown star system. Clarkson suggested they make a run for it when they were subsequently confronted with the sight of the Ark and the Autobots who emerged from it.

While they landed the ship on a nearby planet, Clarkson came up with a plan to return to Earth by using the same wormhole that had taken them to the distant system. He didn't, however, have any idea to close the wormhole behind them to prevent the aliens they'd found from following them back. Starscream tricked the humans, resulting in the ship crashing into a subterranean chamber. Clarkson warned the rest of the Ghost 1 crew that they weren't alone. Luckily Optimus Prime and Bumblebee helped them escaped the native creatures and get their ship back into space.

Clarkson eagerly checked to see if the wormhole was still open, and urged Walker to take the ship though. Walker decided to stay, and though Clarkson still wanted to go, he recognized the truth in Walker's argument. Still, when Mission Control contacted them to give them permission to return through the wormhole, Clarkson made another attempt to persuade Walker, but the Captain asserted his decision was final. They took the ship into battle, aiding the Autobots, using tactical information provided by Clarkson. As they opened fire on Starscream, he reported that the wormhole had imploded. By then it didn't much matter, as Starscream promptly turned around and destroyed the ship. Ghosts of Yesterday
