Daniel O'Neal

A lieutenant colonel in the Federation Marines and Colonel Martin Lazlo's second-in-command. O'Neal arrived on Waystation on the USS Mongoose with the bulk of the 79th Battalion. (Send the Marines [WAY]) He was one of the last marines to join the group following Leximas. (This is Only a Test [WAY]) O'Neal and his men were beaten by Karyna when she cloned herself, danced with them while floating in the air above Starfleet Square Mall, then dropped them to the deck. O'Neal's excuse to Lazlo was that she overpowered them. Following Lazlo's orders, he coordinated the marine takeover of Waystation. While sneaking into ops, Craig Porter accidentally sent O'Neal falling down the turbolift shaft, where the marine thudded painfully onto the roof of a turbolift car several stories below. (That Sinking Feeling [WAY]) During the mission to Asneris Colony, O'Neal repeatedly suggested that Lazlo call for help from Waystation to deal with the situation. Lazlo refused to ask Starfleet for help. (The Corps of the Matter [WAY])
