roommates. | |||
- [NOTE] Cadet Ayindrias continued to require roommate re- | |||
assignment each term until her final semester. | |||
SD 2410 1010: [See Appended Sealed Disciplinary Record 3412-5-A] | |||
SD 2410 1031: Cadet Ayindrias refused to attend mandatory Academy | |||
social function (Halloween Formal). Cadet was given a verbal | |||
reprimand and was ordered to report to Psychological Services. | |||
- [NOTE]: The refusal to attend mandatory Academy social functions | |||
was repeated throughout her academy career and the cadet received | |||
counseling for social difficulties with other cadets. As per | |||
instructions from CDR Dr Natasha Raine, SFA Psychological Services | |||
Cadet Ayindrias was not punished for her refusals, though she was | |||
still required to attend mandatory social functions, despite her | |||
protests, unless excused by CDR Dr Raine. | |||
SD 2415 0921: Cadet Ayindrias locked other students out of Picard | |||
Dormitory Gymnasium for two hours. Cadet was given a verbal | |||
reprimand, but upon investigation of the incident, it was determined | |||
Cadet Ayindrias have been prevented from executing doctor-ordered | |||
exercise by fellow cadets. Although the other students initiated the | |||
aggression, Cadet Ayindrias should have reported the incident to her | |||
CO, doctor or counselor but did not for personal reasons. | |||
PERSONAL COMMENDATIONS | |||
- None | |||
COMMENTS AND EVALUATIONS | |||
"Shay is an energetic and observant woman with a keen mind and a | |||
strong sense of irony. An exemplary student and an open minded, | |||
adaptable and compassionate cadet who will make a fine Starfleet | |||
officer. Quiet and willing to follow orders, she has excellent | |||
judgment about when it's time to ask questions and when it's time to | |||
act. She's a great team player, and is willing to put aside personal | |||
differences and to ignore or deal with interpersonal conflict when it | |||
interferes with a mission or assignment. | |||
"She never was one to mix with the crowds. She kept to herself and | |||
stayed away from socializing, although she was respected as a team | |||
member and frequently was amongst the first picked for study groups | |||
and group projects. Her extracurricular activities seemed limited to | |||
her exercise and recreational reading, and occasional joy flights. At | |||
least, until the middle of her sophomore year when she made it onto | |||
Nova Squadron. She did the Academy and StarFleet proud." | |||
-LTCDR Trent Denshiam, Picard Dormitory CO, SFA | |||
"Shay is one of the few people with a real passion for the exacting | |||
science and subtle guesswork that is Stellar Cartography. She has a | |||
deep, instinctual understanding of where the stars are -- and how and | |||
why they move. She is able to handle the tedium of watching sensors | |||
for hours for just the minutest fluctuation and is willing to spend | |||
the time it takes to chart the progress of just a few atoms. She is | |||
very even tempered, never allowing a mistake to discourage her, even | |||
when it wipes out hours and hours of work. But I want to emphasize | |||
her passion for both her science and for Starfleet. It's that passion | |||
that will make her a valuable asset to the Federation." | |||
-LT. Maria Cantu, Professor of Astrophysics, SFA | |||
"Ayindrias is a natural pilot; her awareness of her surroundings and | |||
her love of flying make her a joy to teach. But she's also a | |||
dedicated student, determined to learn through knowledge and training | |||
what she already has in talent. She qualified as a level five pilot | |||
before the end of her first semester, and I look for her to be at | |||
least a level eight pilot before she graduates." | |||

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE | |||
------------------------------ | |||
RELGION: Vulcan / Deltan mysticism | |||
NOTE: Shayiana Ayindrias is considered a low-ranking Priestess in | |||
one of the Vulcan sects. | |||
PERSONALITY PROFILE | |||
Calm, even-tempered, patient, stable, but a loner. Difficulty | |||
trusting and interacting with others on a personal level, though this | |||
does not affect her ability to trust and interact with people on a | |||
professional level. | |||
COMMENTS AND EVALUATIONS | |||
"I have worked with Shayiana since she was referred to SFA | |||
counseling at the beginning of her freshman year; I've seen her grow | |||
so much in the past five years. But Shayiana is still a loner and | |||
still has difficulty interacting with people on a personal level. A | |||
great deal of this comes from her absentee parents and the fact that | |||
most of her emotional growth took place under the tutelage of a | |||
Vulcan scientist. Although she has difficulty opening up to others, | |||
she is considered a good listener by her classmates and is always | |||
willing to help someone when they need it. | |||
"She works well both individually and in team situations. Her | |||
recalcitrance to interact with people does not affect her | |||
professionally. This is also most likely because of her Vulcan | |||
upbringing and extended lifespan. It is my estimation that she is the | |||
emotional equivalent to a human in their early twenties a human that | |||
has never had a romantic or sexual relationship and has been raised | |||
by Vulcans, that is. | |||
"Shay has expressed that she believes Starfleet is the one place she | |||
stands a chance of fitting in or of finding a place where she | |||
belongs. She wants to be a Starfleet officer and seen as a Starfleet | |||
officer; not as a half-breed or as the student prodigy of a | |||
scientist. In this regard, she has studied the writing and career of | |||
Ambassador Spock intensively and holds him as the closest thing she | |||
has to a role-model or idol. | |||
"Shay is uniquely suited for Starfleet in that she spent the first | |||
years of her life assisting her mother in creating ways to integrate | |||
the Vulcan Academy of Sciences into a multicultural campus. She has | |||
also expressed an interest in assisting with First Contact | |||
situations. I would recommend to any CO that she would be an | |||
excellent addition to any First Contact mission her patience and | |||
ability to listen would be invaluable, as well as her tactful ways of | |||
seeming warm and welcoming without invading another person's privacy." | |||
-CDR DR Natasha Raine, SFA Psychological Services | |||
"Shayiana Ayindrias has come a long way in the years I have known | |||
her. I gladly award her both her certification and her doctorate; | |||
she will be a great asset to Starfleet. Once again, she has amazed | |||
me. Her potential is unlimited and so is her passion for seeking | |||
understanding and knowledge." | |||
-Dr Jaasi Ibraam, First Circle, Ilasa Institute of Psionic Studies, | |||
Aria, Delta IV. | |||
"Shay is willing to go above and beyond the call of duty and do | |||
whatever is necessary to do the right thing, not just the legal | |||
thing. She sees to the truth of things and not just the surface, and | |||
doesn't limit herself with notions of what she can or cannot do. She | |||
is concerned only with what should and must be done, and what she | |||
wishes to do. She pays attentions to the why and the how as much as | |||
the what - and she looks at the solution and not the problem. But | |||
above all else, her concern is for people and for right and wrong, | |||
not with things or concepts." | |||
-- Captain Moozh Natanazi, USS CONSTELLATION NCC 1017-G | |||
"She came aboard a doomed ship determined to help save us, and she | |||
took us a long way there. She was willing to risk herself, time and | |||
again, going far above and beyond the call of duty. She was willing | |||
to a high personal price to uphold one of the highest ethics: the | |||
needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one. She is | |||
an asset to this, and any other ship she serves aboard." | |||
-- Captain Sareka, USS FEARLESS NCC-56000 | |||
MEDICAL PROFILE | |||
------------------------------ | |||
BLOOD TYPE: Q negative | |||
ALLERGIES: Synthehol | |||
DISABILITIES [See appended medical history for details] | |||
- Ultra-sensitive to light. Wears specially designed filter lenses | |||
(blue-lensed glasses). | |||
- Susceptible to migraine headaches triggered by over-exposure to | |||
bright lights and neuro-toxicity caused by an overload of psionic | |||
neuro-transmitters. | |||
- Wears psionic neural inhibitor to manage psionic abilities. | |||
- Hi-grav adapted; requires 1-2 hours strenuous exercise a day. | |||
RECENT EVALUATIONS | |||
"Aside from her impressively daunting list of medical disabilities, | |||
I would say Shay's only real health concern is her lack of concern; | |||
she's going to be a challenge for any CMO, because she adamantly | |||
refuses to acknowledge her own physical and mental limits. Normally | |||
in a Cadet, I would call this a liability, but in Shay's case, where | |||
the majority of her problems are things that she cannot ever | |||
'overcome' or have 'fixed', she has to live and function with them -- | |||
she refuses to allow her medical problems to prevent her from doing | |||
her duty. And that is something very admirable in an officer." | |||
- Dr Lt Cdr Keith Laumer, CMO SFA | |||
"It became apparent after just a few months on Delta that the lower | |||
gravity was beginning to affect Shay's musculature; her skeleton was | |||
losing calcium and her muscles were atrophying. She mentioned | |||
symptoms of fatigue, soreness, stiffness and cramps. She also stated | |||
that these were similar to symptoms she had experienced on Eridani | |||
Secundus, but had attributed them to her headaches. She was diagnosed | |||
with hi grav adaptation syndrome and prescribed 12 hours strenuous | |||
exercise per day. I approved Ain-shar dance practices as meeting the | |||
requirements for strenuous exercise." | |||
- Dr Tyia Sajnel, General Medical Officer, Ilasa Institute for | |||
Psionic Studies | |||
"Her ordeal aboard CONSTELLATION, both the Pisces and Mishtosa | |||
missions, was extraordinarily physically and mentally taxing; but her | |||
recuperative powers are even more extraordinary. She is in excellent | |||
physical condition and is more than fit to return to active duty." | |||
- Dr LTCDR Elizabeth Ritten, SB DELTA | |||
MEDICAL DATA: HUMAN/EL AURIAN HYBRID | |||
[Excerpts from the file of Dr. Sohten, Prefect Dean Vulcan Academy | |||
of Sciences College of Medicine, Surgeon General of the Vulcan | |||
Academy of Sciences Hospital] | |||
Larel Ayindrias was an Eridani Colonies native; she had been | |||
genetically engineered since birth. However, she is the one in a | |||
hundred million Eridani who suffer genetic damage from the | |||
procedures. As in all such recorded cases, the genetic defects to not | |||
become apparent until later in life. On my advice, Larel declined any | |||
genetic manipulation for her daughter. It is my theorem that such | |||
damage will not only be passed along to a half-breed child, but | |||
compounded by the mingled genetic structures. This was especially a | |||
danger in Shayiana's case because very little is known of her | |||
paternal genetic donor. | |||
Keiran Alastair declined any medical testing. As the paternity of | |||
the child was not in doubt, there was little recourse but to allow | |||
him his recalcitrance, despite my official protests. As well, none of | |||
my requests to known El Aurian refugees for medical data have been | |||
answered. | |||
Shayiana was removed from postnatal care soon after birth by Larel | |||
Ayindrias. To my knowledge, she received very little, if any, | |||
professional medical care until Prefect Professor T'Aris brought her | |||
to me in 2367 after her sensitivity to bright light was discovered. | |||
T'Aris' solution to the problem was quite elegant. She adapted two | |||
standard light filtration lenses into a typical eyeglass frame | |||
favored by humans. Unlike the traditional human 'sunglasses', | |||
Shayiana's filters allowed her to see as a normal person in normal | |||
lighting. The filters can also be adjusted to allow more or less | |||
light in as needed. | |||
Shayiana Ayindrias was small for a human female newborn, and | |||
remained small for the rest of her life. Her growth remained normal | |||
for that of a human female until she reached the age of ten standard | |||
years. At approximately three months past her tenth birthday, her | |||
physical and emotional development began to slow substantially, | |||
although her mental and intellectual developments were substantially | |||
increased. | |||
Her physical development continued to remain gradual, although her | |||
mental development was on par with that of a Vulcan child. Her | |||
ability to recall and absorb information is a function of her nearly | |||
eidetic audio memory. | |||
I cannot determine a proportionate growth ratio in comparison to | |||
either human or El Aurian (there have been no responses to my | |||
inquiries concerning the growth and development of El Aurian children). | |||
Her pubescent period lasted approximately ten years, although she | |||
never began a menstrual cycle. There are two possibilities: either | |||
has not reached her sexual maturity as of yet, or she is not fertile. | |||
The medical experts on the Eridani Colonies favor the latter theory, | |||
as do I. She does not possess ovaries; however she does possess | |||
inactive glands where her ovaries should be. Observations made by | |||
Professor T'Aris and Mistress Jaasi Ibraam of the Ilasa Institute | |||
substantiate the theory that Shay has reached sexual maturity but is | |||
not fertile. | |||
Her brain is subdivided much like that of a Vulcan, capable of | |||
processing multiple tasks and inputs at once. I believe that this is | |||
a function of her El Aurian heritage. Considered by some Federation | |||
scientists to be the 'secret of Vulcan intelligence', neural | |||
subdivision is fairly common amongst vulcanoid and reptilian species, | |||
but not humanoid. I theorize this subdivision is partially | |||
responsible for her psionic abilities. | |||
Shayiana possess an allergy to synthehol caused by a minor | |||
difference in how her body processes complex carbohydrates and | |||
sugars. This allergy has been observed in .025% of humans, many of | |||
whom have parents who have been genetically modified. She is capable | |||
of consuming the grain alcohol based beverages favored by many humans. | |||
In 2398 while visiting family on Eridani Secundus, Shayiana began to | |||
experience severe migraine headaches. After the Eridani doctors | |||
failed to successfully diagnose or treat her condition, Shayiana was | |||
transported back to Vulcan. After ten months of hospitalization and | |||
consultation with several colleagues, it was determined that Shayiana | |||
was experiencing the activation of latent psionic abilities. After an | |||
unsuccessful attempt at training on Vulcan and further | |||
hospitalization, Shayiana was referred to the Ilasa Institute for | |||
Psionic Studies on Delta IV. | |||
MEDICAL DATA: PSIONICS | |||
[Excerpts from the file of Jaasi Ibraam, Primary Psionic Counselor, | |||
Ilasa Institute for Psionic Study] | |||
Shayiana Ayindrias was referred to us on Nov 8 2402 for evaluation | |||
and possible instruction when Dr. Sohten of the Vulcan Academy of | |||
Sciences Medical School reported that Shayiana was suffering from | |||
extreme migraine headaches and flashes of emotion/images from other | |||
people upon skin-to-skin physical contact or close physical | |||
proximity. Also at this time Shayiana's sense of touch was | |||
registering at 27% above her recorded standard neural response and | |||
increasing daily. | |||
Shayiana was transported to the Ilasa Institute for Psionic Study on | |||
Delta IV in March of 2403 and assigned to me based on my experience | |||
with crossbred patients developing latent psionic abilities related | |||
to one or both of the parent species. However, this did not appear to | |||
be the case with Shayiana. Her human parent had no psionic abilities, | |||
and the scanty medical records of El Aurian refugees showed no | |||
inclination towards psionics. However, no El Aurians were available | |||
for consultation. | |||
I was able to acquire autopsy records of an El Aurian. According to | |||
the findings of the autopsy, the El Aurian brain has an | |||
extraordinarily developed psychic center, but very little actual | |||
activity. I contacted the Eridani Colonies Central Medical Office and | |||
spoke with Dr. Misael Garas, a genetic specialist. He informed me | |||
that some of the genetic manipulation affecting the Eridanan brain | |||
and neural centers derived from Deltan and Betazoid genetic | |||
structures occasionally produced psionic talents similar to those | |||
abilities possessed by Deltans and Betazoids. It is possible a | |||
recessive gene in both Larel Ayindrias and Keiran Alastair became | |||
dominant in Shay. | |||
Upon further examination of Shayiana, the following was determined: | |||
1) She possesses the ability to sense emotion and receive strong | |||
mental images from any person who she touches for more than just a | |||
few seconds or is in close proximity. After some training, Shay is | |||
capable of sensing basic emotions and states of mind of people within | |||
two meters of her. | |||
2) She possesses an 'awareness' of space/time flows and spatial | |||
phenomena that extend into subspace or sub-quantum levels. This | |||
'awareness' is normally subconscious and does not register unless | |||
there is a massive (supernova sized) disturbance or unless she enters | |||
into a deep meditative state. This ability is usually manifested as a | |||
sense of the gravitational pull of nearby stellar bodies, and is | |||
probably one of the primary reasons Shay is so interested in Stellar | |||
Cartography and Astrophysics. We believe this is a product of the | |||
changes wrought on her father by the Nexus passed down to her | |||
genetically. It is now theorized by Dr. Sohten that the Nexus | |||
affected, on a neurochemical and genetic level, the psychic center of | |||
the El Aurian brain. | |||
Shayiana spent a further seven years at the Ilasa Institute for | |||
Psionic Studies, learning to control her abilities. Unfortunately, we | |||
can find no way for her to control her empathy. She was prescribed a | |||
psionic inhibitor usually given to Deltans who will have prolonged | |||
contact with other species. The device appears to be a thin silver | |||
necklace tight around her neck, and inhibits the psionic | |||
neurotransmitters. However, once it is removed, her empathy is | |||
intensified for a period of one hour per week of continuous usage due | |||
to a buildup of neurochemicals. If worn for too long (more than 72 | |||
hours at a stretch) it can cause toxicity of the brain and induce | |||
stroke and / or systemic nerve failure. I have very little doubt the | |||
full extent of Shay's abilities have been plumbed; there is just so | |||
much we don't know and don't understand about how her brain functions | |||
and develops. | |||
PSIONICS SUMMARY | |||
EMPATHY: Shay possesses out of control empathic powers requiring a | |||
full-time psionic inhibitor to manage. She can both sense and | |||
project emotions and emotionally-driven impulses, including causing | |||
psychosomatic responses up to a range of 10 meters. Any projection | |||
creates 'feedback' Shay also senses. | |||
TELEPATHY: As well as the standard abilities of projection and | |||
reception, Shayiana possesses the ability to sense and project | |||
emotion, thoughts and strong mental images from any person she | |||
touches for more than a few seconds. After some training, Shay is | |||
capable of sensing basic emotions and states of mind of people within | |||
two meters of her. Her abilities also include mind-meld and mental | |||
bonding abilities. Able to draw forth repressed memories and assist | |||
in the repair of damage caused by mental invasion. | |||
PSYCHOMETRIC PERCEPTION: Shay can sense the emotional state and | |||
'see' possible flashes of memory left as impressions in/on inanimate | |||
objects by previous owners. Length of contact and strength of | |||
emotion affect clarity. This is by far the weakest and most | |||
unpredictable of Shay's abilities. | |||
PSYCHOKINETIC PERCEPTION: She possesses an 'awareness' of | |||
space/time flows and spatial phenomena that extend into subspace or | |||
sub-quantum levels. This 'awareness' is normally subconscious and | |||
does not register unless there is a massive (supernova- sized) | |||
disturbance or unless she enters into a deep meditative state. This | |||
ability is usually manifested as a sense of the gravitational pull of | |||
nearby stellar bodies. | |||
BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD | |||
------------------------------ | |||
Keiran Alastair, an El Aurian artisan and philosopher was rescued | |||
from the transport ship LAKUL by the ENTERPRISE-B on her maiden | |||
voyage. Deciding (as any good philosopher would) that the worlds | |||
inside the Nexus were a lie; that perfection of joy and perfection of | |||
existence cannot exist, and therefore, the Nexus reflected the | |||
desires of the soul and heart, hidden from the conscious mind. He | |||
holds (and has written) that the Nexus is a manifestation (and/or | |||
reflection) of subspace and sub-quantum universes that access the | |||
infinite alternate timelines and that your own personal world is | |||
created by your subconscious to give you a way to understand and | |||
perceive the Nexus. | |||
Alastair became infatuated with human women and moved from affair to | |||
affair with them in the years since his rescue, using their passion | |||
and drive to give him a vicarious feeling of life again. He met and | |||
seduced Larel Ayindrias in the first months of 2370. Shay was born | |||
in the fall of 2371. Alastair left short after Shay was born and has | |||
not contacted his daughter in any way, other than small monthly sums | |||
of money coming from his proceeds as an artisan and writer. This is | |||
in accord with an agreement he made with Larel Ayindrias before they | |||
parted ways. Keiran Alastair's current whereabouts (and feelings | |||
concerning his daughter) are unknown. | |||
Larel Ayindrias was an education specialist in multi-species | |||
integration and diversity education. After successfully implementing | |||
a diversity training program at the Andorian War College, Larel was | |||
hired as Student Orientation Coordinator by the Vulcan Academy of | |||
Sciences to design and implement programs to educate both incoming | |||
and current students on multicultural integration. | |||
When Shay was eight years old, she was removed from her mother's | |||
custody by the Vulcan Civic Council (the equivalent of a lower court) | |||
because of her failure to enroll her child in any form of formal | |||
education. There were mitigating circumstances that prevented | |||
criminal prosecution. However, Larel was dismissed from her post at | |||
the Vulcan Academy of Sciences, and returned to her native Eridani | |||
Colonies to teach sociology at a local university. | |||
Larel Ayindrias passed away July 12, 2398 from complications caused | |||
by genetic defects (unofficially diagnosed as Degenerative Xenosis). | |||
Doctors on Eridani Secundus determined that Shay does not possess | |||
those same defects, because she has not been genetically modified. | |||
--- CHRONOLOGY --- | |||
00-08 (2359 - 2367) | |||
Because Shayiana's development was substantially slower than the | |||
human norm, Larel Ayindrias kept her from formal education, instead | |||
either having the child cared for by an in-home nursery worker or, | |||
later, after Shayiana had learned to walk and talk and had | |||
demonstrated a calm temper and quiet nature very uncommon in human | |||
children, Larel brought her along to many of the cultural orientation | |||
activities she was responsible for organizing and running. | |||
During this period of her life, Shay lived as if she were nearly | |||
blind. She normally wore a dark cloth over her eyes and operated on | |||
sound, scent, and feel. | |||
It was at one of these gatherings that she encountered Prefect | |||
Professor T'Aris, whom was impressed with the child's native | |||
intelligence and curiosity, and appalled at her lack of education. | |||
The child could barely read Standard or Vulcan, let alone write more | |||
than her name. To a Vulcan, this was an offense along the lines of | |||
child abuse. | |||
T'Aris spoke to Shay's mother, and although she understood Larel's | |||
fears concerning Shayiana's social and physical development, | |||
suggested that it was more than time to educate her, and offered | |||
herself as teacher. Larel refused the offer, but T'Aris continued to | |||
seek Shayiana out and teach her bit by bit when her mother was not | |||
around -- the illogic of wasting her intelligence staggered T'Aris. | |||
When Larel found out about the clandestine meetings, she strove to | |||
prevent T'Aris from speaking to Shay by forbidding the girl to | |||
interact with the professor. This had the opposite effect, causing | |||
Shay to seek out T'Aris (whom she regarded as her only friend). | |||
T'Aris began instructing Shay as she would a Vulcan child and Shay | |||
progressed quickly to the point where T'Aris was taking Shay out into | |||
the deserts for three and four day stretches for instruction and | |||
training with her father, Sim're (Master) Sohte. This including | |||
initial mind-meld training and desert survival training. T'Aris had | |||
never taught a child before, and only knew how to instruct Vulcan | |||
children. However, Shay seemed to thrive under the discipline and | |||
rigorous course of study. | |||
Larel Ayindrias did not appear to notice her daughter missing. | |||
T'Aris finally did the logical thing -- if Larel was not going to | |||
provide for her daughter one of the fundamental necessities of life | |||
(an education), then T'Aris would have to remedy that. She petitioned | |||
the Vulcan Civic Council and, after much debate, Shayiana was removed | |||
from Larel's custody. However, the Vulcan Civic Council also did the | |||
logical thing and placed Shayiana in a surprised and unprepared | |||
T'Aris' custody. | |||
Larel was dismissed from her post at the Vulcan Academy of Sciences | |||
and returned to Eridani Secundus to teach at Nietzsche University. | |||
08-27 (2367 - 2386) | |||
T'Aris wished Shay to be educated as a Vulcan child and treated as a | |||
Vulcan citizen. However, for this to be official and legal, Shay had | |||
to pass the Kahs-wan test -- a ten-day desert trek. Not only did | |||
Shay pass, she did so in eight days: only a handful of Vulcans had | |||
ever passed that fast. | |||
Shayiana remained under T'Aris tutelage, studying a variety of | |||
subjects, many of which she was allowed to choose herself. Shayiana | |||
had developed an interest in several areas of study -- XenoCultural | |||
and theological studies, esp. astrology, stellar cartography, | |||
linguistics, and first contact. T'Aris placed Shay as her aide and | |||
assistant, taking her on several expeditions, two of which lasted | |||
more than a year. One of which was on a Starfleet vessel, where | |||
T'Aris arranged for Shay to begin her training as a shuttle pilot so | |||
Shay could fly while T'Aris used the sensor arrays. Shay showed a | |||
precocious talent for flight early on, and it became a hobby of hers. | |||
Several times, T'Aris knowledge of Vulcan history and religion was | |||
needed on archeological excavations on Vulcan, and Shay accompanied | |||
her on most of these visits. | |||
T'Aris also began instructing Shayiana in the meditation and mental | |||
discipline that all Vulcan children learned; however, T'Aris excluded | |||
most of the schooling in controlling emotion, believing that it would | |||
stifle Shay's human side and her emotional and mental maturation -- | |||
though she did teach both the disciplines of 'arie'mnu' -- Passion's | |||
Mastery and Cthia -- 'the true way of things, or logic-truth'. | |||
Sohte trained Shay further in Vulcan's deserts and in the Vulcan | |||
martial arts. | |||
At the age of 20 Shayiana began to undergo the physical changes that | |||
marked the onset of puberty. Although the emotional upheaval was less | |||
than the human norm, it would last nearly ten years. | |||
27-39 (2386 - 2398) | |||
Shay enrolled in the Vulcan Academy of Sciences for what would | |||
become a twelve year course of study in multiple subjects. She | |||
believed that the study stellar phenomena was related to the | |||
astrological and occult 'sciences' that almost every space faring | |||
culture had a version of, and set out to prove it by studying both. | |||
Shay assisted in several notable projects such as the pilot of a | |||
solar sail spacecraft based on an amalgamation of ancient Bajoran and | |||
ancient Vulcan design during a comparison of the two cultures early | |||
development, and archeological digs on Vulcan, Bajor, and Cardassia | |||
Prime. | |||
Her Senior Thesis garnered her a number of accolades; although she | |||
only made a low-grade B, her extensive research into dozens of | |||
cultures, including Human, Vulcan, Deltan, Betazoid, Rihannsu | |||
(Romulan), Klingon, Gorn, Tholian, Andorian, Husnock, Ferengi, | |||
Bolian, Cardassian, and Bajoran allowed her to draw interesting | |||
parallels in occult and astrological theory (and some mystical and | |||
theological theory). Although her conclusions had no true practical | |||
application, her thesis also sparked a new round of research into the | |||
connections between religion, magic and science. Shay assisted on the | |||
project until her mother's death called her away to Eridani Secundus. | |||
39-40 (2398 - 2399) | |||
In 2398, Larel Ayindrias passed away from complications caused by | |||
genetic defects in her childhood home on Eridani Secundus. She | |||
recorded a message for her daughter to watch. Shay attended the | |||
funeral on Eridani Secundus, and stayed with her second cousins -- | |||
who were approximately the same emotional age as Shay. Kieran | |||
Alastair made a token appearance and made some peace with his | |||
daughter. Although his current whereabouts are unknown, he somehow | |||
manages to maintain knowledge of his daughter's activities and to get | |||
correspondence and gifts to her. | |||
Shay remained on Eridani with her cousins for the enjoyed relative | |||
freedom. Larel had left Shay with a small amount of money and the | |||
wish that Shay get to know some of her extended family and experience | |||
her mother's culture. It took Shay several months to adapt to human | |||
interaction, however, once she did, she found she fit in well. | |||
Although she never became close to any of her family, she did feel at | |||
home with them for a time. | |||
Near the end of her stay, Shay began experiencing frequent and | |||
severely debilitating migraine headaches that the Eridani doctors | |||
could not diagnose the cause of. She was transported back to Vulcan | |||
and remanded into her Dr. Sohten's (her uncle) care. | |||
Dr. Sohten was able to quickly identify the initial stages of latent | |||
psionic powers becoming active as the cause of the headaches. T'Aris | |||
and Shay entered into a retreat at Mt. Seleya to have Shay trained in | |||
psionic disciplines by her grandfather Sohte and grandmother T'hija. | |||
41-45 (2400 - 2405) | |||
Although Shay learned a great deal, including higher-level | |||
meditation and concentration techniques, Vulcan astrology, religion | |||
and mysticism, she was not able to control her psionic abilities. | |||
Shay assisted in continuing archeological research into the ancient | |||
religious orders that had controlled Mt Seleya at various times in | |||
Vulcan history. | |||
In 2403, Sohte entered into Pon Farr and at the Koon-ut-kali-fi | |||
ceremony, T'hija challenged. T'Aris would not stand with Sohte, | |||
however Shay did. Her grandfather killed the challenger and released | |||
his wife, but Shay never forgave her grandmother the betrayal. | |||
Shay was never able to progress in her studies past the rank of | |||
Initiate -- her powers remained uncontrolled. After five | |||
unsuccessful years, Dr. Sohten and T'Aris contacted the Ilasa | |||
Institute for Psionic Studies on Delta IV, and arranged for Shay to | |||
be treated there. | |||
45-51 (2404 - 2410) | |||
Shay was a residential patient at the Ilasa Institute for seven | |||
years, although no amount of training would allow her to control her | |||
abilities. Jaasi Ibraam modified a standard psionic inhibitor for | |||
Shay to use. It was during her stay on Delta that she met Miria | |||
Esenal, another patient of Jaasi Ibraam's, and when she got her | |||
piercing and tattoos, though she has never related the story to | |||
anyone. It is possible that Jaasi or Miria know, although unlikely. | |||
Miria was a former Orion slave girl training to control her | |||
phenomenal responses; she and Shay were roommates at the Institute | |||
and became close friends. Miria taught Shay the Orion Ain-Shar, a | |||
mixture of dance and martial art when Shay needed intense physical | |||
activity. | |||
While Shay was on Delta IV, she assisted in several archeological | |||
digs and historical research projects dealing with theology, | |||
mysticism or occultism. Although Shay began, she did not complete, a | |||
MindHealer certification. | |||
Near the end of her stay at the Institute, a StarFleet Officer, Lt. | |||
Cedric Arrington was referred to the Institute to train his minor | |||
psychokinetic abilities. He attempted to court Miria and often spoke | |||
of StarFleet to both women. Shay decided she wanted to join | |||
StarFleet, feeling it was the only place she might truly fit in. | |||
T'Aris and Jaasi both supported her decision, and Miria vowed to | |||
follow her when her treatment was complete. However, Miria committed | |||
suicide in the fall of 2412. | |||
Shay was accepted into StarFleet Academy the summer of 2410. She | |||
began her term that fall. | |||
51-56 (2410 - 2415) | |||
Attending StarFleet Academy was more of a challenge that Shay | |||
thought it would be. She found interpersonal relations very | |||
difficult, and had an even worse time of it in most of her | |||
engineering and combat-related classes. She maintained high grades in | |||
pure mathematics, and was considered to be one of the finest writers | |||
in her class. She also broke an Academy record, becoming the only | |||
Academy freshman to reach rank five pilot certification. Near the | |||
middle of her sophomore year, a member of the famed Nova Squadron | |||
dropped out of the Academy, leaving a slot open. The staff sponsor | |||
and team captain both agreed to offer Shay a chance to try out. She | |||
made the team with flying colors. Shay went on to become the Captain | |||
of Nova Squadron for her fifth and final year at the Academy -- the | |||
year Nova Squadron won every competition they entered. | |||
During her freshman year, Shay was involved in a violent incident | |||
and was raped by other cadets while all three were under the | |||
influence of a mind-altering drug -- which had been forced on Shay. | |||
She has refused counseling for the event and is believed to be | |||
protecting a secret for Michelle Underidge, a cadet near graduating | |||
from Starfleet Medical School. Cadet Underidge was expelled from | |||
Starfleet Medical and made to repeat her last year. | |||
During breaks and vacations, Shay did not return to Vulcan. Instead, | |||
she explored Earth and the Sol system as extensively as she could, | |||
participating in archeological digs and exploratory missions, | |||
particularly those involving the Sol itself. She was recognized and | |||
commended as a pilot on several ventures to both Jupiter and Sol, | |||
including two that used metaphasic shielding and advanced structural | |||
integrity field technology to descend closer to the surface of a star | |||
and father into a gas giant than any other mission has ever gone. | |||
Because of Shay's refusal to attend and/or participate in mandatory | |||
social functions, she was ordered to undergo counseling for the | |||
duration of her term. Because of her low combat, tactics and | |||
engineering scores, she was held back for an extra year. Another | |||
student under the auspices of StarFleet Academy's Counseling Office | |||
was suggested as a tutor for her martial skills. Ivan Yugensevich | |||
tutored her for three years and managed to get her up to par. He | |||
remains her regular correspondent and one of the closest people Shay | |||
has to a friend in StarFleet. | |||
Cedric Arrington maintains regular correspondence with Shay and | |||
follows her career closely, although he remains at the Ilasa Institute. | |||
56 - 57 (2415 - 2416) | |||
Right after Shay's ALB training, she ran into Ivan Yugensevich again | |||
-- the CONSTELLATION was at SB ALPHA for a change of command and a | |||
refit before heading out to deal with a Romulan threat in the Pisces | |||
sector. Ivan and Shay parted ways once again, Shay preparing to | |||
report to ADM Ash for assignment, and Ivan back to the CONSTELLATION | |||
for a mission he didn't know if he would return from. | |||
ADM Ash assigned Shay to GREEN FLEET under the command of ADM Milton | |||
Vaun at SB DELTA in orbit around Vulcan. To her surprise, Shay was | |||
assigned to the USS CONSTELLATION NCC 1017 G TACRON 33 GREEN FLEET as | |||
Chief Science Officer under the command of Captain Moozh Natanazi, a | |||
native of the primitive Preserver world Pisces R4. | |||
Before reporting for duty aboard CONSTELLATION, Shay took a few | |||
hours to visit her foster-mother, T'Aris -- now secluded in the | |||
monastery of Gol to achieve perfect divorce from emotion -- Kolinahr. | |||
T'Aris is cold and unfeeling towards her foster-daughter, unknowingly | |||
destroying Shay's fragile emotional balance. Devastated and unsure, | |||
Shay reports aboard CONSTELLATION, looking forward to re-uniting with | |||
Ivan. | |||
Once aboard CONSTELLATION, she discovers Michelle Underidge is the | |||
Ship's Services officer -- and she proceeds to continue her vendetta | |||
against Shay, tormenting her in every way she can. Underidge not | |||
only 'forgets' to assign Shay quarters, she hides her possessions, | |||
gives her uniforms over a century out of date, and sets her quarters | |||
to temperatures and light-settings designed to hurt Shay. | |||
Less than 72 hours after coming aboard, Shay experiences psionic | |||
backlash shock and is hospitalized in a psi-neutral cube by Dr | |||
Abigail Rgyon -- a woman telepathically connected with her Betazoid | |||
best friend. | |||
After her release from sickbay, Shay became embroiled in the final | |||
stages of a years-long quest for a Preserver super weapon when the | |||
CONSTELLATION and Captain Natanazi joined forces with Riov | |||
tr'Richaelu, a member of the Pisces R4 occupation force and a high- | |||
ranking officer in the Romulan 4th Fleet. Both tr'Richaelu and Moozh | |||
Natanazi knew the power of the Preserver super weapon, and both | |||
wanted to prevent mad Romulan Admiral tr'Ninith from gaining control | |||
of it. | |||
tr'Ninith had spend decades ruling the primitive people of Pisces R4 | |||
through the illusion that he and his officers were the ancient | |||
Assyrian and Sumerian gods (the Preservers created the civilization | |||
of the people of Pisces R4 as a mirror of those ancient Earth | |||
cultures) -- and as soon as he gained control of the Preserver | |||
weapon, he would destroy Earth and anyone else who stood in his way | |||
to becoming a God-Emperor of more than just the Romulan Empire. | |||
Luckily, the weapon was only functioning at a fraction of the power | |||
needed to be a world-killer; it needed a Preserver-made power cell. | |||
The race was on. In a many-prong attack, forces from the | |||
CONSTELLATION and tr'Richaelu's flagship, the CHR DHAEL, attacked | |||
tr'Ninith's forces and prevented him from recovering the power cell. | |||
Shay had been assigned as the Starfleet liaison aboard the DHAEL -- | |||
Captain Natanazi knew Shay's familiarity with both ancient languages | |||
and cultures, the Romulan language and culture and her own upbringing | |||
would give Shay -- of all her officers -- a fighting chance to make | |||
the tentative alliance work. | |||
Shay undergoes a brutal initiation into the Romulan ranks, surviving | |||
through sheer force of will to become a member of the elite | |||
tal'Aidan. She has been vague as to what her position in the | |||
tal'Aidan is, or what she knows of them -- except in a briefing given | |||
directly to Starfleet Intelligence. | |||
Captain Natanazi gained control of the weapon and used it to | |||
decimate the Romulan 4th Fleet, and it is believed that for a time, | |||
lost herself in what she had done. She had killed tr'Ninith, man she | |||
believed to be the god she had served as a priestess for over half | |||
her life, and then gained command of that god's most awesome weapon. | |||
She had killed God and taken his place. Many believe Captain | |||
Natanazi believed herself a Goddess | |||
Only Captain Natanazi and Shayiana Ayindrias know what occurred on | |||
the surface of that planet -- and they aren't telling, but since they | |||
returned from the planet's surface with the Romulan child Cassandra | |||
they have been a close as sisters. | |||
After the disastrous Pisces mission, the Moozh Natanazi was removed | |||
from command and replaced by Commodore Akiko Tomita, the TACRON 33 | |||
CO. The still severely damaged CONSTELLATION was then detailed to | |||
the sectors bordering the Sheliak Corporate to negotiate a trade and | |||
territory dispute carrying Shay's adopted Vulcan grandfather, | |||
Ambassador Sohte. | |||
Sohte cornered his grand-daughter Shay with a choice -- leave | |||
Starfleet and return to Vulcan to deal with her psionic abilities and | |||
come to terms with her estranged foster-mother, or spend the rest of | |||
her life running away from things she refuses to face. Confused, | |||
Shay turns to Ivan Yugensevich for help, only to find her friend is | |||
almost in a relationship with Michelle Underidge -- who saved his life. | |||
Forced by the last orders of Captain Natanazi to investigate the | |||
tension between Shay and Michelle, Ivan is forced to confront them | |||
both and discovers Shay was not the only one raped -- and she had | |||
been protecting Michelle's secret and shame for years. No sooner had | |||
the CONSTELLATION dropped off Commodore Tomita and Moozh Natanazi | |||
resumed command, she is ordered to humanitarian aide on the plant | |||
Mishtosa. Commander Caroline Trueman, returned to CONSTELLATION as | |||
XO to assist her old friend Moozh until a new XO could be chosen -- | |||
the Klingon Counselor Tad'ghik had been proven too unstable for the | |||
position, was left in command of a crippled starship as Moozh | |||
Natanazi went planet side -- where she and Shay were once again | |||
almost killed by rebels. | |||
Moozh Natanazi, for the first time in a long time, found diplomacy | |||
worked -- and was able to end the conflict on Mishtosa. Upon the | |||
CONSTELLATION's return, it was determined her damage was too | |||
extensive, too severe. The USS CONSTELLATION NCC 1017 G was | |||
decommissioned, leaving her crew at loose ends. | |||
57 (2416 - 2417) | |||
After the CONSTELLATION was decommissioned, Shay took a leave of | |||
absence to answer some of the questions about herself. She was | |||
unable to reconcile with her foster-mother -- T'Aris refused to meet | |||
with her foster daughter. She returned to Earth for less than a | |||
month; just long enough to visit the family of her fallen, comatose | |||
friend Dr Abigail Rygon, a casualty of the Pisces R4 mission. | |||
Confused and recovering from her serious injuries (some of which | |||
were still unhealed from Pisces R4), Shay left Earth for the quiet | |||
sanctuary of the Ilasa Institute of Psionic Studies. She visited the | |||
grave of Miria and spoke with Jaasi Ibraam for hours. Within a week, | |||
she was enrolled in an advanced and accelerated course of study to | |||
complete her aborted MindHealer's training. In less than half a | |||
year, after months of grueling study and training, Shay was certified | |||
as a MindHealer and a Counselor. | |||
Feeling her time at the Ilasa Institute was again complete, Shay | |||
left to return to Vulcan -- and Seleya, where she had first failed. | |||
Although still not in control of her abilities, she braved the | |||
gauntlet of tests and ordeals and earned the rank of Adept. | |||
At the urgings of her grandfather, Shay took the Counselor's exam on | |||
Starbase Delta and passed with ease. Within days, she received new | |||
orders: her leave of absence was over. She was re-assigned to the | |||
USS AKAGI in the new SAPPHIRE fleet -- her first billet as CNS, but | |||
it was her second with the AKAGI's CO -- Moozh Natanazi. | |||
58 (2417-2418) | |||
The SENTINEL-class USS AKAGI was decommissioned after only one tour | |||
of duty and a new USS AKAGI - a refitted AMBASSADOR-class starship | |||
was commission as the USS AKAGI NCC-10555 and was assigned a grab-bag | |||
crew of misfits, malcontents, perennial discipline problems, and | |||
failures, showing Starfleet's further distrust of ADM Tomita and her | |||
obsession with the Preserver legacy. | |||
In February of 2418, Shay was re-assigned as Operations Manager of | |||
the USS FEARLESS NCC 56000 GOLD FLT. This marked the first career | |||
advancing transfer Shay has ever taken, but assignment to the | |||
FEARLESS was on a volunteer-basis only. The crew of the FEARLESS | |||
(meaning the crew aboard at the completion of legal proceedings) was | |||
under capital indictment by the Klingon Empire. | |||
Her tour on FEARLESS began much like her tour on CONSTELLATION - she | |||
wasn't even greeted as she came aboard, but was sent directly to her | |||
duty station - and then on away mission aboard a Klingon freighter, | |||
where a flash/EMP bomb both blinded her and shut down her inhibitor. | |||
After going comatose from psionic shock, she was brought back aboard | |||
the FEARLESS, where Captain Sareka mind-melded with her. The | |||
necessary intensity of the meld left a lingering bond between the two | |||
that neither knew what do with - and a lingering attraction. | |||
After a day of recovery and the discovery that she would be blind | |||
for up to eight weeks, she was sent on a covert recon mission to an | |||
all-but abandoned Klingon mining/penal colony, which turned out to be | |||
a hidden Klingon military base supporting an archeological dig on HCG- | |||
34 Gamma Tau searching for proof that Chancellor Mor'Vath was, | |||
indeed, a prophescied savior of the Klingon people. Their shuttle | |||
was shot down, and in the course of trying to steal a Klingon | |||
shuttle, the Away team chanced upon the dig. Shay, after using a | |||
risky drug given to her by Dr Sohten to restore her sight, assisted | |||
with further recon efforts. | |||
The Away Team trekked through underground caverns of the Borqtach | |||
Canyon for several days until they were attacked by a Klingon | |||
security force. Shay was forced to dive from a high cliff into an | |||
underground waterway. After making contact with a native creature | |||
and being attacked by more Klingons, she was able to retrieve the | |||
Twelfth Tome of Klavek from the underground, underwater ruins. She | |||
was beamed aboard the FEARLESS, which blasted its way out of the | |||
Gamma Tau system. | |||
She was awarded the Wounded Lion and Silver Star by Captain Sareka. | |||
