Biographical Notes ------------------------ A. Chronology (tabular form): ----------------------------- 0-3: Lived with aunt in the women’s house at Nineveh. 3-9: Priestly training included religion, law, mathematics, divination and arms. 10-14: Ordination. A grueling process wherein 10 girls at the top of the priestly training (those not making the cut are sacrificed to Nina) are whittled down until four years later, a single priestess is ordained. 15-29: High Priestess of Nina at Ninevah. Until age 23 and the death of her mother served as Vizier to King Sargon II (Moozh’s mother and Sargon’s entire retinue were killed upon Sargon’s death), at which time Moozh became High Priestess of King Assurbanipal II. 29: Arrival of USS DaVinci. Through events beyond her control, the bronze-age warrior-priestess Moozh Natanazi found herself stranded on a modern starship, and faced with execution if she returned to her home, she set out to assimilate as much of the strangers' language and knowledge as possible. When she was discovered by the DaVinci's crew, Moozh already knew some 50 words in Federation Standard, and since she had questioned the computer regarding the people of the DaVinci, she learned of the Prime Directive, which was the vehicle under which she demanded asylum. 29: Upon the DaVinci's return, Moozh was closely examined by Starfleet using standardized tests and found to be extremely intelligent, to the point where Starfleet, the agency conducting the testing, expressed an interest and sponsored her training. Their motivations were not entirely generous, however, as Natanazi was both physically strong and came from a culture where brutality and barbarism were the norm, so while returning her to her own world would be a violation of the Prime Directive, releasing her into the general population was considered far too great a risk. 33: After completing her education, Moozh was "requested" to apply to Starfleet Academy. She understood very well the nature of her existence in this world, however, and knew that the request was the best option she had a hope of receiving, as freedom in society was not to be permitted; they needed to keep an eye on her. 37-45: Graduated number two in her class at the academy with a BA in Applied Mathematics, she then completed her final holodeck training and was assigned to the USS Hawking as an ensign in sciences. As an officer on a research vessel Starfleet felt it was assigning her to the best possible place, and may actually have been correct. Her keen intellect and curious mind proved an incredible asset, and over the years she was promoted through the ranks and eventually to the rank of full Lieutenant and five year stint on the USS Exeter, and then at her request was given the Chief science billet back on the old USS Hawking at the rank of Lieutenant Commander. 45: With the decommissioning of the Hawking, Moozh was by far the longest-serving member of her crew to be reassigned. Any and all reservations about the nature of her original homeworld had long- since been put to rest and LCDR Natanazi's file as given to the staffing authorities illustrated a very industrious officer who while physiologically and culturally unusual, had matured into a very competent officer. As a result, she was entered into Command Officer Training. 46: Graduated Command Officer Training and promoted to the rank of Commander, with her billeted as Executive Officer on the USS Constellation, much to her surprise, a front-line Kirov-class cruiser. 47: With the transfer of Captain Erickson, Moozh was promoted to Captain and given command of USS Constellation. 49: Assigned as Ambassador, USS LEDA 50: Assigned as Commanding Officer, USS AKAGI 51: Leave of Absense - Academic Tokyo University (Ph.D Applied Mathematics) 53: Voluntary Reduction in Rank to O5, Assigned Chief Science Officer, USS NOVA B. Background Summary: ----------------------- The USS DaVinci was on archaeological survey, investigating a strange text found a planet orbiting a Red Dwarf star, which while geographically and environmentally very different from Earth, was culturally an exact duplicate, with the important distinction that this planet was developed at the level of Earth, circa the 7th century BCE. All of the civilizations of the time were present, the Shang Chinese, Old Chosun, Assyria, Minoan Crete and early Greece, and the conquered peoples of Babylon, Sumer and Judea, and many dozens of others. The DaVinci, however, found the artifact it sought being carried on a battlefield by an Egyptian army being crushed by an Assyrian horde. Complications arose, as the "gods" were actually watching, and seeking to kill two birds with one stone, sent a particularly troublesome Assyrian priestess to the DaVinci, without the crew knowing. This priestess was troublesome because she was highly resistant to the mind control exerted on the populace, as most people of very high intelligence are, and through her own observation, she learned something of the truth regarding her people's existence. High priestess Moozh Natanazi, injured in the battle, was surgically implanted with an explosive, and transported onto one of DaVinci's docked shuttles, where she remained undiscovered for roughly 13 hours, during which time the shuttle's computer sensing a human occupant (the people of Moozh's planet are totally human in their DNA, though they have evolved to suit their habitat), was powered up. Likewise, as she spoke to herself questioning things, the computer attempted to translate the language, and eventually the universal translator kicked-in with a few words. Being very gifted in languages, Moozh queried what she thought was a goddess, and as the translator recognized her language as Near Eastern Earth origin, attempted to communicate in ancient Aramaic, the basis for Hebrew and Arabic, and a language Moozh was fluent in. During her time on the shuttle learning from the great goddess "Computer" Moozh saw enough to become a Prime Directive violation if returned to her world, something she desperately wanted to avoid as her knowledge was considered demonic, so with the bomb removed and her rapidly learning to speak Fed Standard, Moozh remained on the DaVinci for the remainder of its cruise, which was roughly 4 months. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IV.

Skills Profile ------------------ Moozh is extremely gifted in mathematics, physics and astronomy, though a byproduct of her primitive heritage is a difficulty understanding electronics and engineering. Also as a result of her background, she is particularly skilled in melee and hand to hand combat, though simply the brute force method as opposed to any martial arts or finesse, which the Assyrians most definitely lacked. Moozh also has a knack for predicting the actions of others after studying their art, writing or other works which involve strong expression of personality or creativity. This is not something that was taught to her, but either a natural ability on account of her intelligence or perhaps a genetic trait passed down by her Preserver ancestors. While Moozh has no frame of reference to modern electronics and thus often misses obvious technological solutions to problems, her mathematical skills are of such a creative and innate nature that she often solves equations in her head that are so complex that more conventionally educated and trained scientists don't even know how to express them. An example is D-warp calculations accounting for variables such as ship damage, towing or gravitational factors, which Moozh can calculate in her head faster than a conventionally trained navigator can input them into a computer and receive (an erroneous) result. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VI. Recent Fitness Report -------------------------- Commander Natanazi as stated in her medical dossier is completely human as per her DNA, however the adaptations to the environment of her planet are significant, and often intrusive. Her eyes are completely lacking cones, thus she is completely colorblind. She also must wear 99.98% gray filtered lenses in normal interior light to be able to see without pain, in what she describes not as "black and white", but as "white and whiter." While her vision has always been a serious limitation, as always a simple chromatic shift on the LCARS panels of most federation equipment enables her to read the displays without seriously impacting other crewmen, and as long as her sunglasses or contacts are worn, she is able to function with an acceptable level of visual acuity, though is restricted from being assigned to security duties. Another result of her native environment which was 3.2x Earth normal gravity is that Commander Natanazi possesses comparatively extreme levels of muscle and bone density. Other than breaking weakly-built chairs with her over 320lb weight, this has not been much of a problem. In terms of physical strength, she is roughly equivalent to a fit Vulcan male. She has maintained her physical strength in our reduced gravity environments through a rigorous program of body building, balanced by distance running for stamina and living quarters set to 4.0G. All-in-all, Commander Natanazi is in excellent health, and while physically imposing, presents no dangers to herself or others other than her unsuitability for security assignments on account of her poor visual acuity. Commander Natanazi also appears to be aging at a slightly slower rate than Terran humans, probably also due to environmental adaptations from her planet. While she is 53-years-old, her physiological age is between 34 and 38 for a Terran human. Dr. Harold T. Molina, Starfleet Command ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VII. Psychological Profile --------------------------- Commander Natanazi is a very unusual officer, which makes her difficult to evaluate. She shows no instability or imbalance and is of sound judgment and mind, however her demeanor is a bit unsettling, perhaps simply my own apprehension at sitting across from someone who used to practice human sacrifice or on account of much of her record being classified. Regardless, my fears are simply that, my own. Commander Natanazi has completed this program in an exemplary fashion, and on each of her past duty stations has overcome initially apprehensive intake counseling interviews to leave those duty stations with solid endorsements from the ship's counselor. It is also difficult to argue with her educational and professional achievements as well as her commendations. In my professional opinion, Commander Natanazi is mentally and psychologically competent to assume the science officer position on the USS Nova, though I still do not understand her desire for the reduction in rank and responsibility. Doctor Junko Watanabe, Starfleet Personnel Branch, Counselor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VIII. Current Recreational Interests ------------------------------------- Ballet and ballroom dance (has been learning for 8 years), which she does about as well as an extremely muscular body builder can do. Moozh is very fit and even flexible, but her weight and lack of precision motor skills interfere, still, she should be a far worse ballet dancer than she actually is, and is actually more than acceptable as a ballroom dancer, though still unlikely to win any awards. In recent years Moozh has also taken on an interest in wines and viniculture, and owns a small winery in Northern Iraq on Earth. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IX. Miscellaneous Information ------------------------------ Moozh Natanazi is very tall and muscular, though in no way fat. She is properly proportioned for an athlete, with the general build of a robust Klingon Warrior. Only her eyes are reddish gold (they glow with the intensity of say Christmas-tree lights) and her skin is bronze-colored. She is a good deal more muscular than most female body builders, and also has her fair share of scars, some of which are rather gruesome (ax wounds, arrow wounds, etc). Despite all that, she is attractive in much the same way that a female Klingon warrior might be considered so, and of course she has dimples and her eyes sparkle when she smiles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ End BioFile
