were removed, and then brought the involved parties to meet the hidden
ambassador.
 
On being confronted, Nanclus unexpectedly took Serah hostage and beamed
away to the cloaked Romulan Warbird TERINAX.  There Serah learned that the
Ambassador had never been in any danger.  The "assassination" had been a
ruse to destabilize Federation-Romulan relations.  The mastermind was a
future version of Nanclus himself.  This elder Nanclus and his ship came
from a ruined Alpha Quadrant.  He hoped to steer the Empire into a war
that would see Romulus emerge strong enough to deal with the coming
threats (presumably the Borg and Dominion).  The younger Nanclus, however,
did not agree with his elder's plan once its full implications had been
disclosed.  He was further revulsed by his older self's insistence on
killing Serah who had done so much to further their plans. 
 
Conceiving a desperate plan to save them, the younger Nanlcus had Serah
brought to him on the pretense that he would rape and then murder her. 
Already terrorized repeatedly by recent events, the threat of this final
trauma pushed Serah beyond the breaking point even as Nanclus assured her
that he would not harm her. The damage to her psyche was only compounded
when by neccessity she helped Nanclus lure his older self to the room to
slit his throat. 
 
Serah knew the older Nanclus was ultimately responsible for her suffering
in the last 24 hours and thought she could take pleasure at watching his
death.  She was devestated to realize in that vengeful moment that she
could never be the same person again.  In an effort to redeem herself,
she persuaded Nanclus not to torture the guard who had brought her in. 
Serah's compassionate gesture led Nanclus to first try convincing the
captive Centurion to help him take over the ship and defuse the incident. 
 
The attempt failed.  Serah and Nanclus escaped using one of the
TERINAX's armored shuttles.  Once the TERINAX was destroyed and the
pair safely returned to the LEXINGTON, Serah began her long recovery
process from her first two mission's traumas. 
 
3rd Mission
-----------
Serah was granted a brief Leave of Absence.  Then she was co-opted by
Section 31's Blake to help rescue Captain Rafe of the LEXINGTON from
the Klingons.  After that encounter, she was briefly assigned as the
Assistant COMM Officer, USS HOOD on her return.  Before she could
assume duties, Mr. Daniels from the 31st Century appeared and took her
forward in time to restore her personality to what it was supposed to
have been without the time-travel related traumas.  She was returned
to almost the same moment she left in the 23rd Century and was
transferred off ship to her next assignment aboard the USS REPUBLIC.   
 
4th Mission
-----------
Serah's fourth mission took place aboard the USS REPUBLIC alongside her
sister Claire. Due to political interference, the ship's CO was
transferred off and Claire took command. The REPUBLIC rescued the
survivors of a hijacked prototype starship and continued on to
investigate an archeological curiosity on Cornelia Prime. Entering into
a fantasy-like world controled by a malevolant being, Serah once again
faced her worst fear in the form of a horde of phantom Orion men.
Before they could rape her, she was rescued by the XO, LCDR Scorpio
Haden. She in turn killed the being controlling the fantasy world.
 
Post-Mission
------------
Serah decided to finish her tour with her sister and began studying
for a psychology degree with plans to become a trauma counselor. She
transferred with Claire to the newly rebuilt STARBASE 9 as the
COMM chief. En route, she met a young Lieutenant JG named Chris
Hastings. They are currently in a romantic relationship.

Staff Psychologist, Starbase 1
Serah has shown remarkable resilience for a woman who in her first two
missions has been repeatedly assaulted physically and mentally.  Her
reliance on the staff Chaplain for counsel and her faith have born this
remarkable young woman through, I believe, the worst of her recovery.
She is eager to return to duty though to err on the side of caution, I
recommend she be restricted to a subordinate position until she has had
more time to heal.
