39: Battle of Vulcan. With the captain killed in action and the XO | |||
incapacited, Lieutenant Commander Oda assumed command and | |||
continued the fight. With weapons destroyed, LCDR Oda | |||
retreated to the rear of the formation and attempted to beam | |||
as many survivors from the various ships as possible into the | |||
Shran’s cargo hold. Upon taking an addition hit by Nero’s ship, | |||
Oda ordered the ship completely dark and set adrift. The ruse | |||
worked and over 900 Starfleet personnel were saved. | |||
LCDR Oda was gravely injured early in the battle and nearly lost her | |||
left leg and arm. Severe nerve, muscle and bone damage was | |||
repaired with moderate success, however she had to learn to walk | |||
again and will always suffer from weakness, lack of fine motor | |||
control, severe arthritis and drastically reduced range of | |||
motion in those limbs. | |||
41: Fully healed, LCDR Oda, awarded the Silver Star for her actions at Vulcan, | |||
was returned to the active officer rolls. Continued physical | |||
therapy to be required for the foreseeable future, however it is | |||
to be provided by ship’s doctor. | |||
