41: Battle of Vulcan. With the captain killed in action and the XO incapacited, | |||
Lieutenant Oda, then the second officer, assumed command and continued the | |||
fight. With weapons destroyed, LT 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 and 80 Vulcan refugees were saved. | |||
LT 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. She was promoted to LCDR immediately upon the Shran’s return from | |||
Vulcan, though she didn’t learn of it for a full year until she awoke from her coma. | |||
43: Fully healed, LCDR Oda was awarded the Starfleet Cross for her actions at Vulcan | |||
and 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. | |||
Initially assigned as chief science officer on the USS Lexington, LCDR Oda was | |||
promoted two grades to the rank of Captain and given command of the ship when | |||
the aged Ambassador Spock learned of her recovery and suggested the command of a | |||
starship as the one assignment to which she, a hero of the surviving Vulcan people, | |||
was best suited. | |||
B. Background Summary: | B. Background Summary: | ||
----------------------- | ----------------------- | ||
LCDR Oda Comes from a long and distinguished lineage in Japanese history, with a direct | |||
male line all the way back to the great warlord Nobunaga Oda of the 16th century, who | |||
himself was a lineal descendant of the famous 12” century female Samurai Tomoe Gozen. | |||
In the ASR Prime timeline, Emiko Oda was the Paternal great-Aunt of retired admiral Akiko | |||
Tomita. | |||
Emiko is very much a person born into the wrong era, and as such she is every bit as much | |||
of a Samurai as a Starfleet officer. Fortunately, the two ideologies are quite | |||
complimentary, with values such as honesty, loyalty and honor transcending time and | |||
technology. Emiko is absolutely loyal to the chain of command in both directions and | |||
believes in the development of strong leaders at every level. | |||

IV. Skills Profile | IV. Skills Profile | ||
------------------ | ------------------ | ||
As a Starfleet Officer in the generic sense Emiko Oda is in many ways similar to her | |||
distant ancestor Nobunaga. She is ambitious, decisive and ruthless when it comes to | |||
the execution of her orders or even doing the “right thing”. She is an extremely | |||
skilled tactician and a wise leader who knows how to take advantage of the many and | |||
varied skills of her subordinates. | |||
In terms of her skills and qualifications as a scientist, CPT Oda definitely favors | |||
the “soft” sciences and has little or no background in astronomy, physics or warp | |||
theory. Where she excels is in the planetary sciences, specializing in anthropology | |||
and archaeology and with strong formal education backgrounds in geology, meterology | |||
and a diverse knowledge in other planetary sciences such as vulcanology, hydrology | |||
and metallurgy obtained from independent study. | |||
Emiko is also extremely skilled in many ancient Japanese cultural and martial arts, | |||
and is ranked at the prestigious Ichidan (1st rank) in Ikebana (traditional Japanese | |||
flower arrangement), a pursuit she considers more martial than decorative. She is | |||
also a master swordswoman in multiple forms of Kenjutsu and Kendo, and highly adept | |||
in both Aikido and Karate. | |||
While she had never served as a CO or XO, she was the 2nd Officer on the Shran and had | |||
just completed command school two days before the battle of Vulcan. At that time she | |||
was awaiting transfer and promotion into an LCDR slot as the XO of a destroyer and was | |||
hastily recalled to the Shran for the battle. | |||
Despite her lack of command experience, her years of experience and level head were | |||
clearly displayed when she took charge of the crippled Shran at Vulcan and focused her | |||
attention on rescuing survivors even when her own condition was dire indeed. | |||

V. Recent Fitness Report | V. Recent Fitness Report | ||
-------------------------- | -------------------------- | ||
LCDR Oda suffered extremely severe injuries at the battle of Vulcan. She was essentially | |||
crushed by a collapsing bulkhead that shattered her left foot, knee and thigh as well as | |||
her left arm, including the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints. She also suffered | |||
significant internal damage. Recovery was slow, difficult and will never be full. While | |||
her life is no longer in danger and her strength has returned to her relatively uninjured | |||
right side, her left arm and leg have a vastly reduce range of motion and are slightly | |||
weak. She will always walk with an obvious limp and has pain in her reconstructed joints | |||
ranging from mild to severe, depending on factors such as weather, activity and overall | |||
health. | |||
It is the pain that makes me reluctant to clear CPT Oda for duty, however she has weaned | |||
herself from pain killers completely and insists that her sense of duty is stronger than | |||
and | any discomfort she might feel. I have observed her in this state for the past year as | ||
she has learned again how to walk, and can only say that her level of willpower and | |||
determination leads me to believe that despite her limitations, CPT Oda belongs on active | |||
duty on a front line starship. | |||

VII. Psychological Profile | VII. Psychological Profile | ||
--------------------------- | --------------------------- | ||
LCDR Oda’s level of drive borders on the fanatical. She could easily accept a regimen of | |||
medications that while disqualifying her for Starship duty, would permit her to live in | |||
comfort and remain a productive member of Starfleet in an Earthbound posting. | |||
Despite the obvious pain, CPT Oda is focused on her task and returned physically to the | |||
point where she has cleared medical holds and been deemed fit for active duty. I can | |||
only add that her willpower and determination should see her through any challenges she | |||
may face and that it would be a shame to ground such an experienced and capable officer | |||
as LCDR Oda. | |||
Despite | Despite all of her difficulties, it is strange to me that LCDR Oda shows none of it save | ||
to | a mild limp. Her demeanor is usually relaxed and she is genuinely pleasant to be around. | ||
It is also off-putting how a 43-year-old Starship officer with significant combat | |||
experience and what were clearly life-threatening injuries still manages to look more | |||
like a teenage schoolgirl of perhaps 15 or 16 years, most notably in her smile. | |||
