Gabriel "Gabe" Bush was a human male, Starfleet commander, and first mate of the USS Bozeman under Morgan Bateson. He cultivated a strong New England accent and was head-over-heels in love with his fiancee, Ruby. Just prior to the Bozeman's becoming trapped in the temporal distortion, Bush was set to marry Ruby. However Bush and the remainder of the Bozeman crew suddenly found themselves in the mid-24th century. When Bush learned that the Klingons had killed Ruby, he fell into depression, and began drinking heavily. (TNG novel: Ship of the Line)
