MEDICAL NOTES 
MEDICAL OVERVIEW
Serenidad exhibits Vulcan-like focus, highly abstract thinking, advanced mental processing speed, and a nearly photographic memory. Her projected lifespan is expected to exceed 500 years. All these abilities are due to the ongoing Sicaraxan eugenics program begun at the colony's founding.
Until recently, Serenidad's "natural" abilities were enhanced by a series of artificial implants. She had artificial eyes that interface with three bioimplants in her cortex. These permitted her to visually process data files stored within her implants as well as improve physical coordination. Other implants in her cerebellum gave her acrobatic agility. Buried within her bones lay a personal shield generator, site-to-site transporter, and various energy weapons. Stored elsewhere were nanite workers to keep her artifical parts working and as anti-borg combatants.


B. Background Summary:
All of her artificial devices were surgically removed on SD 180403. Her homeworld had ordered this aciton for all Sicaraxans serving in Starfleet and in governmental offices throughout the Federation. It was deemed a politically necessary gesture in the planet's application for Federation membership. Serenidad looks forward to the day when her enhanced abilities will be restored to her.  
-----------------------


Catherine (or "Kit") was raised on Camilo V, a small human colony near
   
the Orion border. The colony was raided in 2399 by Orion slave traders,
who captured all young children between nine and twelve to sell on the
slave market after they had matured, while destroying all records.


After two years of living in the hold of an Orion ship with other to-be
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
slaves, Kit was liberated by a Starfleet crew and sent to a nearby
   
Starbase to undergo a stringent set of psychiatric evaluations and

therapies. After being released from medical care, she was sent to
  BACKGROUND SUMMARY
foster parents at Starbase 20. The foster parents decided after a year
that they were unable to foster a child, so Kit was transferred to
another set of foster parents at Starbase 34. The second set of foster
parents decided, after having their first child and moving to Starbase
25, that fostering would put them at a disadvantage, and Kit was passed
to another set of foster parents.


Foster parents number 3, Rick and Joanne Chang, were staff hydroponics
Sicarax was founded in the 22nd Century by a group of Earth scientists with the intention of creating a genetically advanced society. The colony flourished in peace until galactic politics drew a border with an unfriendly 23rd Century Klingon Empire only a few light years away. Sicarax applied for and received protection from the Federation, but not membership. The planet was quarantined to protect Federation Society from the dangers perceived by the eugenics program.
experts on the J'harra Trading post, and accepted 15-year-old Kit.
Political attitudes required over a hundred years to cool before Sicarax successfully lobbied the Federation Council to allow some of the colonists to apply for citizenship. Young Estrella Serenidad's parents were among the first applicants. Her parents entered Federation society as diplomats and quickly made names for themselves working with the Tholians.  
During her stay with the Changs, she adopted their last name. The  
Changs decided to move to the cruiser YANDA to function as hydroponics
experts there.


Catherine left of her own volition at 17 when they docked at Trading
The frequent diplomatic trips to and from Tholian space gave Serenidad a taste for life among the stars. Still, she had to apply twice to Starfleet before friendly Federation Council members could push her through admissions. The screening board admitted reluctance to shouldering responsibility for the obvious political consequences that Serenidad's career would bring. Once in the Academy, however, Serenidad enjoyed the fact that she performed better than most anyone else at nearly everything she did.
Post 52FJD8, one of the outposts used for trade between the cargo ships
that putted throughout the various sectors. A few days after leaving
the YANDA, she found a post as an assistant to the staff mechanic.


She left after two years when her mentor left the base and applied to  
While Serenidad appreciated her abilities, she has been incessantly drilled by her parents, mentors, and friends not to flaunt her talents or to develop attitudes of inherent superiority. As an adult, she came to appreciate just how closely political entities within Starfleet, the Federation Council, and her homeworld Sicarax were watching her integration. Her success or failure would directly affect her homeworld's ongoing pursuit of Federation membership.

IV. Official Star Fleet Record
-------------------------------


A.  Promotion History:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------
   
120601 Commissioned as Ensign (O-1).
PERSONALITY NOTES 
121207 Promoted to Lieutenant, Junior Grade (O-2).
  AMBITIONS
131201 Promoted to Lieutenant Commander (O-4).
Serenidad seeks to build political connections through Starfleet, then run for the Federation Council. She wishes nothing less than to speed the Federation's march toward symbiosis with the synthetic. She sees this as the next inevitable step in human evolution.  
160403 Promoted to Commander (O-5).
CHARACTERISTICS
Serenidad is intellectual, deeply spiritual, and quietly passionate about her political views. She is aware of the Federation's reluctance to indulge in artificial human enhancements and guards her more shocking opinions on eugenics. Since the Sicaraxan authorities ordered its citizens working within the Federation to abandon their artificial bio-devices, Serenidad's loyalty has been severly tested. Her cool confidence has shifted to near constant unease as she struggles to adapt to life without her enhancements. She feels far less secure personally without her body defenses.  


B.  Service History:
She treasures friendship, loyalty, and integrity. She does not trust anyone easily. Those who betray her trust find it nearly impossible to regain it.

on real-life problems and has surprising creativity when challenged with
problems outside the scope of the course." 110523

SPIRITUAL BELIEFS
"Catherine achieved far above expectations in the advanced elective
Many find it remarkable that a genetically superior human converted to Christianity. Serenidad claims that a classmate, Taka Kwihani, first challenged her on the subject of comparing religions. Kwihani helped her recognize the futility of existence without the hope of everlasting life. From there it was a two year walk toward becoming convinced that she had found the "right" religion. Of course, she admits to a habit of constantly double-checking the evidence, arguments, and her own personal reasons for believing. Religious debate is a favorite passtime of hers.

Professor Joos T'hins-lighter, Artifical Intelligence, Starfleet Academy
"Catherine is certainly competent in the field of computer science and
artificial intelligence, but she shows her true mastery of the
engineering field primarily in hardware and design.  She struggles more
with software-related problems than if presented with a problem that
lies in hardware." 110515

months and is very promising indeed. I recommend grooming her for
additional responsibilities in command as soon as possible." 130212
 
Commander Jerran Terel, First Officer, USS KIROV
"Catherine Chang has proven to be a most valuable member of this crew,
and it was with no hesitation that she was my first recommendation to
Captain Zane for the position of OPS/2O as soon as I found out that
Commander Landers would be leaving to command the new USS FEYNMAN. 
She'll have a lot to learn with the change from SCI to OPS, but she's
shown in the past that she has a very adaptable intellect and personality,
and should work out fine." 131205
 
Captain Zane, Captain, USS KIROV
"I can think of no better individual to assume the post of first officer
of the USS KIROV.  Although Chang has recently been promoted to Second
Officer, I believe that her time in duty and her assiduous attention to
detail are both signs of command material.  In addition, her promotion
will ensure continuity in the command staff and traditions of the KIROV.
High marks all around to LTCDR Chang."  160112

------------------------------------------------------------------------
VII.  Psychological Profile
---------------------------


Counselor Ranita H'tra, Staff Counselor, Starfleet Academy


"Catherine is a highly intelligent individual with a history of abandonment. 
She struggles with feelings of inadequacy and personal trust issues, but has
learned to control those feelings so as to effectively work in groups.  She
tends to be an individual and to be sought out instead of seeking others.


"Catherine also shows difficulty in relating to parent-child relationships,
since she has had so few true relationships of that kind. She also clings to
her identity as a Starfleet member, as it offers her some form of identity
that she can be proud of.


"Exposed to Orion female sensuality at a young age, Catherine is still
struggling with a healthy human sexuality, but will get there with more time.


"Overall, Catherine is an extremely serious individual but gets along well
on a surface level with her classmates.  I do not see any difficulty in her
living in confined spaces and would recommend that she be considered for a
ship position in a challenging environment."


------------------------------------------------------------------------
VIII.  Current Recreational Interests
-------------------------------------


Kit prefers to find solace in gardening and working with mechanical toys. 
She can also be found in various solo artistic pursuits, but rarely shows her
artwork to anyone.  She has few correspondents but writes to them faithfully.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
IX.  Miscellaneous Information
------------------------------


Physical description:


Kit is relatively standard for a human female, of average height and above-
average weight, though she hides most of it in muscle.  She looks generally
of the right form of an mostly athletic/active female, slightly thicker
around the waist.


Her hair is naturally black and straight, her eyes extremely dark brown.
Kit's face is slim, but lights up in the times that she smiles or grins.
Her eyes are very expressive and she tends to interpret others' facial
expressions as an indication of how they will react to certain news.


She has small, dextrous hands, and favors her right hand to her left. She
has longer legs than torso.


Her ears were pierced at 17.






Personality description:


Kit is a person whom most like to work with but that few really get to know. 
She has a hard outer shell - personable, likeable, well-adjusted, and tends
towards shifting between a thoughtful silence and wry grins. She rarely
laughs, but when she does, it's infectious.  She has a tendency to be slightly
self-deprecating.


The inside... well, that's where character development comes in.  She can be
very scared inside, though she quells those feelings as much as she can. 
More on her inside.  Lots of confusion that she hides rather well.


Under high pressure situations, Kit has a focus that is so narrow that it
drowns out most other things in the room.


On a long shore leave, she'll visit one or two people from her past - sometimes
she'll visit her last foster parents, the Changs, who are posted on a ship, or
her Academy friend Geri Stavrinski, who is posted as a lowly security officer
on a starbase.


On short ones, she's often at a loss as to what to do, shying away from large
social scenes.


[Updated 050118]


Sometime in the future, she's also known as "Red Fox."  Separate story involving
a -very- small crew and Chang as a burnt-out captain, going underground in a spy-
like setting.


There are a number of NPCs that are important in Chang's life.  A brief
description:
+  Captain Geri Stavrinski - Mentor from the Academy.  Currently
+ assigned
to EPSILON, formerly of the NEBULA.
+ Sparky Hodges - Life mentor and guardian.  Space mechanic.  Space
Gypsy.  All around decent guy.
+ Ty Ripley - Space Gypsy.  One of four sexy, telepathically-linked
quadruplets.  Likes to use her sex appeal to get exactly what she wants.
+  Jonathan Sesro - Known as "Screaming Eagle" - Kit's former love
interest, currently searching her out after a number of years in the Q-Continuum
(really has no memory, no power, and is currently hitchhiking across the sector,
trying to find Kit and avoid Ty)
[STRANGE HISTORY NOTE: Screaming Eagle, Sparky, and Ty were -all- player characters
from Prodigy's Star Trek RPG called "The Space Gypsies"
that I played in as Kit Saunders.  All of these characters are circa
1993-94.  If any of the original owners of these characters would like to contact me,
PLEASE DO.  When I began playing in ASR, I melded a lot of the alternate versions of
Kit into one new character.]
+ Michael Lopez - 2nd in Command in the KIROV's Marine division.  Also
known sometimes as "Raven."  Kit's secret boyfriend.  (Only person who really knows
is Nik DeLaney.)
+ Jibi - Weird, annoying space creature that looks like Tinkerbell and
has the IQ and attention span of a child on lots of sugar.  Picked up in the Dyson's
Sphere incident (cf. 2001 archive).  Lives in the Science Labs.
+ USS VERSIFEX - Ship wandering around with a bunch of people Kit will
need to know in the future.
[ANOTHER STRANGE HISTORY NOTE: Some of these characters I made up, and some of them
were real PCs from Prodigy's USS HOOD, which I believe I played on briefly.  I changed
the name in a post-RPG story I wrote back in 1994 or 1995.  Ironically enough, my other
PC, Maia Biaje, is currently posted on the USS HOOD.]
