Cayle Veld: Difference between revisions

This abduction would affect Cayle in more than emotional ways. As a result of the emotional trauma, she has made it her mission to bring those responsible down. This task has proven more difficult and circuitous than anticipated; under all the layers, she has heard whispers of the existence of the mythical Section 31. She now believes that they were the ones pulling the renegade Marines' strings and are ultimately responsible for her abduction and torture. This has turned her desire for justice and personal vengeance into an obsession, such that she transferred from command-track to Star Fleet Security and Intelligence Services (SFSECIS), the internal intelligence branch of Star Fleet, roughly analogous with the FBI. Since Section 31 exists within Federation borders, this was who would normally investigate such matters.

Until recently, she has been unwilling to discuss her imprisonment- not even to Star Fleet Counselors- and has largely withdrawn into herself. Her nickname amongst many of the junior officers and crew of DS13 was "The Ice Queen"; if such a thing weren't true before, it most certainly is now. However, she has begun to thaw somewhat with the bringing down of a major Section 31 operation on Cestus III- taking out a major S31 cell has brought some peace to her and a reconciliation of sorts with her captivity.
Initially, she had been unwilling to discuss her imprisonment- not even to Star Fleet Counselors- and has largely withdrawn into herself. Her nickname amongst many of the junior officers and crew of DS13 was "The Ice Queen" (orignially bestowed upon her by the Gorn for her perceived demeanor in battle); if such a thing weren't true before, it most certainly is now. However, she has begun to thaw somewhat with the bringing down of a major Section 31 operation on Cestus III- taking out a major S31 cell has brought some peace to her and a reconciliation of sorts with her captivity.


However, in the aftermath of her escapades on Cestus III, she found herself in the place she most wanted to go as a younger officer- the center chair, a position she knew perhaps better than anyone that she was, at that time, ill-suited to occupy. It has taken 2 long years- and two more major combat engagements- to prove to herself (and Star Fleet Command) that she truly  
However, in the aftermath of her escapades on Cestus III, she found herself in the place she most wanted to go as a younger officer- the center chair, a position she knew perhaps better than anyone that she was, at that time, ill-suited to occupy. It has taken 2 long years- and two more major combat engagements- to prove to herself (and Star Fleet Command) that she truly belongs in command. Her combat record over the years has been impeccable, having served in no less than 7 major campaigns, all in command capacities, and has yet to come out on the loosing end. Cayle may not have the tactical genius of a Buck Vargas or a Alastair Boyington, but she has an uncanny ability to rally and motivate those she commands when it is most necessary. This makes her stand out above the pack.
