[b]History:[/b]

Phil had an average childhood, in a middle class home born into a farming family in the borders. He began studying physics and became really interested in it during high school. Even in his early years at school he became engrossed in science, in his spare time he would find out as much as he could from either books or television. His focus even began to turn towards planes and how they worked. There was always a real desire for knowledge driving him. So he focused on Engineering and Physics throughout his high school years. Getting his advanced highers in both Mathematics and Physics. He then moved onto university.

During his university years he did a BCS in Aeronautical Engineering in glasgow. Though wanting something more near the end of his course, when he began looking into doing a course in theoretical physics. It was always his dream to build something or design something to go into outer space and this was his ticket. After over a decade of upper education he had his doctorate and plenty of knowledge under his cap, now it was just time to use it. 

Having being picked up on the radar for some of his comments on “testing” papers posted online by the SGC he was quickly scooped by by the people at Area 51 working on the X-301. While he didn’t initially see the ship for months, and was instead working on [i]prototype and theoretical equipment[/i] eventually he was granted clearance to know what was actually going on, and finally knew why he was being allowed to see this research despite him being a foreigner. 

After the 301 failed, he was moved onto the project for the 302. Which was meant to be the first human built aircraft, which later succeeded however after that he was moved between various projects. Working on the X-303, studying Goa’uld Tel’tak and learning Asgard technology from the Asgard themselves. However after moving around a lot, doing various work to construct or refine ship designs and a short time on Atlantis he found himself assigned to the IOA vessel the [i]Catherine Langford[/i].

In this posting he was required to oversee some of the latest BC-304 upgrades as well as perform any duties required of him. Including the implementation of “FESS” in all the craft aboard the [i]Langford[/i] after he put his prototype in a prototype “R-302” (Recon 302) which saved the life of it’s pilot. Eventually he went on to go help liberate Langara. When he began to make breakthroughs in the field of cloaking ships (Though only for small ships) Homeowrld Command was already coming up with it’s concept of the 307, and it’s purpose.

Lawson was an obvious choice, and since then he has been designing the 307 and helping to construct the vessel.
