CHARACTERISITICS:
Zane is generally quiet but often displays a developed sense of humour
often directed at himself in a sarcastic sense. Very determined and can
become frustrated easily. A being of action not patience.
Hobbies/Interests: Reading-political journals, the study of Earth's
International Relations--19th and 20th Centuries.,
Music
Favourite Drink: Coffee, Black
Favourite Food: None...good appetite for most...See Medical File
MEDICAL NOTES:
As the only being of his kind little is known of his biology in
terms of life expectancy, physical norms, life phases etc. However
after study of the subject several areas have come to light.
Internally, Zane most resembles a Klingon in terms of having biological
backups of all major systems. For example all major organs have
duplicates that appear to have little function unless the primary organ
is damaged or incapacitated in some manner.
Of most interest is a small organ attached to the stomach which
processes protein in a highly accelerated manner. The result is that
Zane does not need and, in fact, seems incapable of sleeping. It
appears this organ acts as some sort of internal 'battery' or power
system. To remain charged the subject must consume a substantial amount
of food at frequent intervals. On an average day 8 meals are generally
consumed. When unable to follow this the subject appears sluggish and
begins to lose mental functions. While dietary supplements and vitamins
can be used a steady menu of solid food is recommended.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
In 2356 the USS REPULSE discovered a derelict ship in sector
HX-8946. The ship was determined to be at least 8000 years old. Upon
searching the vessel a small compartment was discovered that still
maintained partial power due to a small nuclear power plant. The
equipment being powered was retrieved and studied by the REPULSE. It
was determined that the equipment was designed to keep a fertilized
embryo viable. After much debate the ship's CMO, in a direct violation
of orders, revived the embryo from its stasis. After a six-month
gestation the being later named Zane was born.
As the REPULSE was on a deepspace-exploration mission the infant
was cared for and raised by the officers and crew of the REPULSE.
Primary care and guidance was undertaken jointly by Captain John Clark
and the CEO, Lt. Cmdr Cathy Ryan. Schooling was performed by the
various department heads but it was found at an early age that Zane had
little aptitude for the sciences. It is unknown if this is an
individual trait or one of his races.
By age sixteen it was unmistakable, the urge to leave and begin
a life of his own. It was decided that Zane would be best suited in
Starfleet and thus entered the Academy in 2372.
NOTE: In 2376 (SD:70823) USS REPULSE was listed as missing and
presumed destroyed.
Letters of Recommendation.
It is hard to believe that we found Zane 16 years ago adrift in space.
Since that time we have raised him 'as our own'. I suppose it is
inevitable that he would wish to join starfleet and it is a measure, not
only of or affection but our respect for his abilities that we forgo the
tradition of having an officer recommend him. Instead, on behalf of the
entire crew of the USS REPULSE, WE recommend him.
Captain John Clark
USS REPULSE.
-commanding.
It is with mixed emotions I approve Ensign Zane's posting to ALB as part
of his transition to the fleet. The destruction of the REPULSE has hit
him hard. Not only has he lost his family and his home. He must deal
with the fact that he must truly be alone. He does not know where he
is from or where he belongs. However, I feel that a starship posting is
the best way for him to overcome his sorrow.
Cmdr. Hargan.

B. Background Summary:
-----------------------
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
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
experts on the J'harra Trading post, and accepted 15-year-old Kit.
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
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
Starfleet Academy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
V. Skills Profile
------------------
Professor Althea Jamison, Basic Structural Theory, Starfleet Academy
"Catherine is a very quiet young woman who shows incredible promise in
the field of structural field theory and application. She performs well
on real-life problems and has surprising creativity when challenged with
problems outside the scope of the course." 110523
Professor T'Farr, Hydroponics, Starfleet Academy
"Catherine achieved far above expectations in the advanced elective
hydroponics course offered through the Academy. Given her background in
the field in real-life situations, I would expect her to be a leading
expert in the field after more years of study." 111215
Professor Indira Hjart-la-sa, Electronics, Starfleet Academy "Catherine
has a rich history of tinkering in her background and brings her
experience into the classroom with a creativity that I have only seen in
poor trading stations and colonies. Her mastery of electronics and
electrical systems is only a few years away." 101215
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
Commander Jerran Terl, First Officer, USS KIROV
"LTjg Chang has proven herself to be a critical member of the KIROV's
bridge crew, often burning the midnight oil in order to achieve the
results we need in times of need. Although she is still growing in her
management skills, she has made large improvements over the past few
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.]

Just your average human, no outstanding physical characteristics.
Wears hair cut very short. Facial expressions make it appear he is
always laughing at some private joke. Very outgoing, talkative,
personality. He takes his job and his dedication to Starfleet very
seriously although his mannerisms will lead people to believe
otherwise.
Has a fascination with Military Aerospace history, particularly the
Pacific Air War during WWII. Aviation has been a family business for
almost half a millennium as he is descended from the infamous Greg
"Pappy" Boyington of VMF 214, the Black Sheep Squadron. A ragtag
collection of replacement pilots that succeeded in downing 94 enemy
planes during its first 12 weeks of combat. Greg Jr. comes from an
enormous line of pilots and is fiercely proud of his family history.
Also an accomplished holo-programmer, he has written several
simulations depicting ancient military flight with his most prized
simulator being the F4U Corsair and the P51 Mustang. Having just
about every air and spacecraft from past to present, he is always
willing to take somebody on `head-to-head' in their craft of choice.
Having served on the CORAL SEA, now being decommissioned because of
having outlived its usefulness is now waiting reassignment to another
ship.

QUALIFICATIONS (MOCs) -- Operations Officer -- Science Officer -- Security Officer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES BACKGROUND SUMMARY 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. 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. 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. 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PERSONALITY NOTES AMBITIONS 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. 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. She treasures friendship, loyalty, and integrity. She does not trust anyone easily. Those who betray her trust find it nearly impossible to regain it. FAVORITE THINGS Favorite Scriptures: I Corinthians 15:54; I Thessalonians 4:13-14 Favorite Color: Cream Favorite Beverage: Sucar Rojo (Sweet, blood red beverage) Favorite Food: Cheese HOBBIES Christian Studies Philosophy Strategy simulations IDIOSYNCRACIES She is always eager to argue philosphy, religion, and politics. SPIRITUAL BELIEFS 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. WEAKNESSES Technological accessories. The temptation to show off, especially in competitive sports. Any philosophical debate relating to meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Activities:
Minna is something of a bookworm, and doesn't get out much. While she may
border on being socially inept (never even dated at age 32), she has lived
many lives vicariously through books, which are her passion. In addition,
she is an accomplished floutist, having played with the Seoul Philharmonic
Orchestra, and for the two years she spent at Cal Tech, she performed with
the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra as guest soloist on five occasions.

B. Background Summary:
-----------------------
Minna Chang was something of a prodigy, though by the choice of her parents
she was only advanced in academic grade once, more than that, in her
mother's opinion, would cause too many developmental problems. Still, as
early as Junior High School Minna was submitting entries to Federation Math
contests, and winning. By her first year of High School she had published
papers in both math and physics.
After a BS, a dual MS and two doctorates, all while playing flute
semi-professionally, Minna felt a strong need to leave the confines of the
solar system, and took a job with Starfleet, which eventually led to her
commissioning through the AOT program.

V. Skills Profile
------------------
Minna Chang is simply brilliant. She was admitted to MENSA at the age of 6,
has an IQ of roughly 230. Her talents are primarily mathematical, however
she has also excelled in music, which in her opinion, is perhaps the
ultimate expression of mathematics. Despite her intelligence, she is a poor
strategist, and is easily defeated in Western Chess, Paduk (Japanese Go) or
even simpler games such as checkers.
She also suffers, or benefits, from a rare condition called Esper-Blindness,
which means that she is completely inaccessible to telepathic and empathic
penetration. Telepaths simply are not even aware of her presence, and
cannot project or read thoughts or emotions. This is naturally occurring,
though exceedingly rare, affecting perhaps one in every billion humans. She
has absolutely no psionic ability herself, and with this condition,
absolutely never will.
She is also extremely well-read, prefering the safety of adventuring in
books to real life. It was two-years-ago, when her older brother was
reported MIA, that Minna realized that she hadn't even begun to live. That
even sparked her desire to see the universe, and while still very timid, she
has done her best to step out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
VI. Recent Fitness Report
--------------------------
I don't know why Cadet Chang is here, as a science post aboard a starship is
not what her education was aimed at. Still, she is eager and while timid,
tries her best.
Physically, military life is difficult for Cadet Chang as she is not strong
or athletic, and borders on anorexic. Still, she is healthy and has no
apparant defects.

VII. Psychological Profile
---------------------------
Cadet Chang is very timid and shy, but strangely, my telepathic abilities
are not capable of penetrating her thoughts. She did not test as
telepathic, but it is as though she is simply not there.
Using more conventional analysis, I believe that Cadet Chang is capable of
serving as a Science Officer on a Starfleet ship, I'm just not sure why she
wants to.

VIII. Current Recreational Interests
-------------------------------------
Minna still plays her flute semi-professionally, and actually gave a recital
the week before her AOT class in San Francisco, which was attended by many
of the highest ranking starfleet officers and politicians in that city.
When not practicing, or reading, she is usually researching whatever burning
mathematical or physics question has aroused her curiosity.

Received standard Trill education. 13-18: Received Scholarship to Lanore Conservatory. 18-21: Attended Star Fleet Academy, majored in Pre-Medicine. 20: Authorized LoA from Star Fleet to return to Trill and receive Kur symbiont. 22-25: Attended Star Fleet Academy, majored in Medicine. 26-31: Residency Completed, USS FORTUNE. 31: Assigned Chief Medical Officer, USS KIROV. B. Background Summary: ----------------------- Born and raised on Trill, Tyrzen is the youngest child of Wisnoe farmers, Lizan and Minarzo Ran. Wisnoe is a relatively small province, based largely around a farming community on the smaller Southern Continent of Trill. Off shore visitors or alien species are more rare on the Southern Continent than on the main Northern Continent, so Tyrzen's strongest influence while growing up was an uncle (her mothers' brother) who worked as an independent trader - primarily amongst smaller worlds that were not officially part of the Federation. His stories of strange planets and amazing life forms fuelled Tyrzen's imagination and from around the age of 12, she had decided that she too wanted to travel the stars. Tyrzen's other major love was for science, and at the age of 13, she was awarded a scholarship to the prestigious Lanore Conversatory. Based in Arment (Trill's largest City in the Northern Continent), Tyrzen flourished under the relative independence and freedom of the larger city; conntinuing to gain in confidence and maturity. At the age of 15, Tyrzen discovered medicine - she had always had a soft spot for healing, growing up on a farm she had never been short of any number of animal companions - all of whom had had at some point or another some form of doctoring performed on them. While studying advanced Scientific principles at Lanore Conversatory, Tyrzen became drawn to the intricacies of the corporal form and the way in which different species were literally put together. This would fuel a life long interest in xenobiology and exobiology. A Recruitment Officer from Star Fleet Academy, who visited and made a presentation to the school in Tyrzen's second to final year, persuaded Tyrzen to submit an application to the Academy. The application was successful and after graduating from Lanore Conservatory, Tyrzen joined the Academy to major in Pre-Med and Biological Sciences. At the Academy, Tyrzen flourished under the daily life and pressures of Star Fleet Academy. Her natural self-confidence made her popular with her classmates and several other non-human races were drawn to her and her way that she adjusted to life on Earth. Unbeknown to Tyrzen her name was also becoming talked about back on Trill, with the Symbiont Recruitment Board taking an interest in her. Tyrzen was initially approached at the successful completion of her Pre-Med studies and asked if she would be interested in hosting a symbiont. There is no greater honour on Trill than to be selected as a host for a Symbiont, so unsurpris- ingly, her answer was yes. However, with her impeding acceptance into Star Fleet Academy's Medical programme and the fact that usual placements of Symbionts happened when people's were in their 30's and 40's, she quickly put the offer out of her mind and switched her focus back onto her studies. With her aim solely on a shipboard position as a Chief Medical Officer, Tyrzen settled into Star Fleet Medical Academy with a passion that would leave a lasting impression on her Professors. Selecting majors that she believed would see her most likely assigned to a ship, she chose Emergency Medicine and her old favorite of Xenobiology as her respective Majors. Three and a half years into her Medical degree, Tyrzen received news that a Symbiont had been identified as a potential match. Stunned at the news that she was to receive a symbiont at only 23 years old, she applied for and was granted a leave of absence of six months from Star Fleet Academy to return home and receive the training to receive the Symbiont. The Kur symbiont was placed into Tyrzen four months after succesfully completing the preparation programme - and as is Trill tradition, Tyrzen officially changed her name from Tyrzen Ran to Tyrzen Kur at that time. Tyrzen returned to Star Fleet Academy shortly after receiving the Kur Symbiont and fitted back into her studies. The effect of the Symbiont was immediately obvious. Tyrzen's time at Star Fleet Academy up to that point had been marked by hard work, determination and a passion to succeed. She had lost none of those traits, but it was blunted slightly by a more measured approach to study and life. Her grades (which had already been excellent) improved even further as she took time out of her schedule to join the Star Fleet Academic Springball team and Tramping clubs. She fell naturally back into her old role of assisting those people who were struggling with life on Earth, formally joining the Star Fleet Academy Mentor programme in her final year, for which she received an Official Commendation. Graduating with her Medical Degree in 2412, she completed her General Surgical Residency aboard the USS Fortune under the direction of their Chief Medical Officer, LCDR R'chek; before being assigned to the KIROV as their CMO. Tyrzen has a deathly fair of shuttlecraft (a previous host was killed in a shuttlecraft accident). She also has a very low tolerance to stimulants (alcohol, narcotics and some prescribed medications) - repeated exposure or a significant dosage may potentially trigger a psychotic episode. Minor dosages will leave her feeling dazed and confused. C. Kur Symbiont Host History: ------------------------------ Ezaya (Female), Professional Skier (1943-2046) ---------------------------------------------- Ezaya was an incredibly gifted sportsperson, but preferred to ply her trade in individual sports (rather than team sports) and carved out a successful career as a Downhill Snow Skier. Her parents work requirements meant that Ezaya had little to do with them during her formative years and as such she preferred to work alone as an adult. She was therefore surprised when she was approached to have the initial Kur symbiont. Much of the Kur Symbiont's personality that arises in its subsequent hosts is attributed to Ezaya. It is in fact such a dominant personality trait that since Azenor's time, all future hosts are selected on the basis of their work ethic and a demonstrated determination to succeed that was so apparent in Eazaya's personality. Ezaya never married, but she did have a son whom she raised on her own. Lazes (Male), Entertainer (2046-2153) ------------------------------------- Lazes was a colorful character who spent most of his working life as a successful illusionist plying his unique trade in the tourist hotspots. Lazes was openly gay (a fairly rare trait amongst Trills) and generally preferred to live amongst more tolerant cultures, spending much of his later life on Risa. He had no children. Azenor (Male), Musician (2153-2250) ----------------------------------- Trills have long been known as great musicians and Azenor was a classic example of this. Azenor spent most of his professional life in the Trill National Orchestra and was widely recorded during his lifetime. His primary instrument of choice was the Karnor (similar to a small lute). Azenor and Tyrzen are an excellent example that not all the previous skills of one host will follow through in future hosts. Tyrzen is almost completely tone deaf - but courtesy of the Kur symbiont, she can can now follow basic scales, but very little else. Azenor never married and had no children. Terzon (Male), Trill Federation Representative (2250-2293) ---------------------------------------------------------- Terzon was a diplomat most of his working life, eventually working up to having a place on the Federation Council Health Board. He was married and had three children, but was critically wounded in a shuttlecraft accident, where the decision was made to remove the Kur symbiont. Kazana (Female), Government Cabinet Minister (2293-2418) -------------------------------------------------------- Kazana began her career as a Junior Policy Developer for the Trill Government. When Trill first formed the Economic Cooperation Group with several other planets (Betazed and Cyrena Prime being the other two major planets in the conglomeration) she was promoted to oversee the workings of the board and Trill interests in the project. In her mid-40's Kazana ran for local government and was successful, so beginning a full-time career in politics that cumulated in a Government Cabinet post. Kazana was married twice and had two daughters. ================================================================= V. Official Star Fleet Record ============================== A.

LCDR Michelle Smith, PhD Counsellor Star Fleet Academy ================================================================= IX. Current Recreation Interests ================================= Tireless to her career, Tyrzen is usually happiest when catching up with the latest scientific journal or medical reports. For recreation purposes, Tyrzen can often be found in the Holodeck where she demonstrates a fondness for mainly outdoor sports such as kayaking, snow skiing, camping and tramping. Tyrzen also enjoys playing Springball when the opportunity arises, but prefers to play against real competitors and not Holodeck generated opponents. ------------------------- END BIO FILE -------------------------
LCDR Loren Landers, Counselor
- played by Kevin Thigpen
- Updated SD 180531
Name: Loren Landers Current Rank: Lieutenant Commander Position: COU Physical Desription: Height: 6'1' Weight: 175 lbs Race: Betazoid (full) Skin Color: caucasian Hair Color: Blond, unruly and longish in front Eye Color: Dark Black (Betazoid) Distinguishing Marks: None Additional Remarks: Loren is not a well-muscled man, although he is quite fit for your typical negotiator (see history). Definitely not wiry, but also not overweight or out of shape by any means. Interests: 20th century rollerblading kickboxing (21st century styles) writing short stories Mental Abilities Brief Description: Loren has full Betazoid telepathic abilities, rating more or a less an average score among Betazoids in the implementation and use of his abilities. This average rating is remarkable considering his background and upbringing in the Klingon Empire. History Brief Description: Loren Landers was found on the SS PURUL, a derelict trading ship within the boundaries of the Klingon empire at the tender age of 3 years. The commander of the klingon bird of prey that found the vessel claimed Loren as 'salvage' the rest of the ship being too damaged by unknown forces for any kind of salvage. The klingon commander, Moff, named the pale, injured child Loren Landers after one of the names on the crew manifest for the ship. For Loren this left him to be raised on the klingon homeworld, Q'on'os, among his two brothers and one sister. The years that followed were naturally tough for the young, maturing man. Learningto fight was paramount for Loren, in order for him to just survive. His skin color and physical appearance made him a natural target, thus to just make it through a day without major injuries, Loren learned to defend himself. Upon reaching puberty, he slowly learned more about his Betazoid talents and developed these abilities to aid in his own defense. He learned to not only read his opponents physical movements in a fight, but also learned to gather 'impressions' from his opponents thoughts, thus allowing him to anticipate his opponents moves well ahead of the coming attack. In short, Loren learned how to fight, and fight well. Very few Klingons would dare call him out for a fair fight, as his reputation grew in the social circles surrounding him. Nevertheless, the feelings of isolation grew for Loren, and upon reaching 15, he realized just how different he really was. Leaving Q'on'os wasn't difficult for the child man. All he had seen there was fighting and hatred against him. Deep down there was a need to actually feel wanted and loved. Abandoning his 'family' on the Klingon homeworld, the youth managed to secure passage to the notorious Sirius IV colony, where after arriving nearly penniless, he managed to get hired as a dispute mediator for a major shipping exporter planetside. Staying nearly two years at this job, from ages 15 to 17, Loren then left, tendering an application to Starfleet Academy with the recommendation of Cmdr. Loroque, CO of the SAMURAI vessel assigned to protect the colony on Sirius IV. Excerpt from Loroque Recommendation "...his talent truly lies in his ability to determine the directions negotiations should go. Involving a particular dispute between two shipping parties ready to begin firing upon each other's vessel while in orbit, the young Mr. Landers not only assisted us in settling the dispute but convinced both parties involved how working with each other would not only increase their profits but allow them to nearly corner the market on a particular item. Needless to say, I was impressed by the wisdom exhibited by Mr. Landers at such an early age. I do recommend that his entrance into the academy be welcomed." Cmdr. Loroque, CO USS VIXEN Academy and Post-Academy years Starfleet Academy proved uneventful for the young Landers, passing his classes with average scores, excelling in Federation history and scoring high on the auxiliary services exams. Like all telepahths in Starfleet, Loren took the Telepath's oath vowing never to forcefully read another sentient being’s mind. Following his graduation, Landers was given the rank Ensign and assigned to the USS FEYNMAN as CNS. Serving for nearly three years aboard the FEYNMAN he rose rapidly in rank from ensign to full lieutenant, not to mention the growth of a deep relationship with the ship's crew particularly the ship's CMO, Dr. Mary Mackrensacklar (Mac for short). The relationship between the two flourished into a romantic relationship, which grew even more intimate upon the discovery of Dr. Mac's latent telepathic abilities. Assisting her in controlling her newfound talent was Loren, which even deepened their relationship. Feeling he had finally found that which was lacking in his life, namely love, Loren began to feel at peace surrounded by his friends on the FEYNMAN as well as Mary. During this time, the FEYNMAN on a mission in the Coalsack Nebula encountered a superior Xanthandi strike force and was subsequently destroyed. Fortunately less than 3% of the crew was lost in the attack and escape. As the crew awaited reassignment, fully expecting to be broken up and shipped to different vessels in the fleet, Dr. Mac was given an important assignment in a remote sector dealing with a sudden virial outbreak. Feeling it her duty to help others she accepted the assignment, effectively ending her relationship with Loren. Heartbroken, Loren himself decided to leave anything and everything that reminded him of her, requesting reassignment from the FEYNMAN crew which now had been placed on a new SOVERIEGN class vessel, the KIROV. Loren was reassigned as diplomatic liason to the Isaahi, and subsequently was involved in ensuring a stalemate and brief negotiations between the warlike Reavers, Isaahi, and Federation. After the negotiations had broken down, Loren was left without an assignment, until the opening of the Gibraltar II wormhole. Now that a new passageway has opened to the BETA quadrant, Starfleet saw a need for someone on the frontlines to represent the interests of the Federation in a diplomatic fashion. Enter Loren Landers, first contact specialist. Suddenly, Loren found himself back onboard the KIROV, alongside the crew he had hoped to forget, among those who were the only ones to truly care for him. Unfortunately, this stint back with the crew Landers grew to see as family was very short-lived. Starfleet, within a month of approving Loren’s billet as a specialist onboard the KIROV, recalled him to assign him to a special ancillary group within Starfleet Engineering, the Prototype Spacecraft Test Group. Recently discovered technology, brought by the arrival of a ship once lost in the Delta quadrant for some years spurred several advances in light spacecraft that Starfleet saw fit to further investigate. This group, PSTG, was tasked with the mission of design and testing of new craft. It was still unknown at this time why Loren Landers was tapped for being part of this group as his flight skills prior to entering into service with this group was highly circumspect. Nonetheless, after serving in this group for over 2 years, he sought and obtained a billet on the ship that was once his home, the USS KIROV, with flight skills far above what they had been previously. See Appendix: PSTG, for non-classified information regarding the PSTG.

The mission statement of this small agency is to design and test light spacecraft prior to rolling it out fleetwide. In order to accomplish this goal, the agency is given the power to recruit officers of the fleet as needed. MEMO: Cmdr. Dr. Owen Larson, Commanding Officer PSTG RE: Recruitment of Lt.Cmdr. Loren Landers I agree with Dr. Zaras’s comments regarding Lt.Cmdr. Landers. His telepathic abilities would aid us tremendously in gaining more ground in understanding the findings brought to us from that ship just recently returned from the Delta quadrant. I believe that his lack of ability in navigation and piloting can be remedied quickly enough. In addition, from what I’ve heard regarding his recent posting as a negotiator near that new wormhole, he should be more than amenable to our offer. Please proceed with contacting the commander. Inform him of none of our plans for him though. I want him in the dark as much as possible. Provide him with only the information he needs to know. -------------- End Bio chip --------------------------------------------------

education there.
18-22: Attended Star Fleet Academy.

B. Background Summary:
======================
Nik grew up in a relatively isolated region of Alaska, just north of
the Arctic circle. His parents, both writers, had moved to the area
to get back to a simpler way of life where they could raise a family.
Shortly after his 1st birthday, Nik's mother died when she accidentally
fell into a fissure in the ice of a nearby glacier. The death had a
chilling effect on his father, who was emotionally distant for the rest
of his life.
Growing up, Nicholas was forced to rely solely on himself for company.
This fostered a drive to make himself the best he could be, both
physically and mentally. To this day, he is a voracious reader of
anything he can get his hands on, as well as an accomplished athlete.
Upon the death of his father a month before his 18th birthday, Nik
found himself with no ties to his home and no reason to stay. Searching
for his purpose in life, he decided to join the Marines, whose
recruitment slogans promised that sense of purpose he lacked.

VI. Recent Fitness Reports
==========================
"Cadet DeLaney show great skill and dedication to his academic pursuits.
He will certainly do well within the corps. However, his solitary
pursuits and lack of interaction with his fellow students leads me to
believe that this could cause problems later on in his career. Perhaps
the most worrisome indicator of this is the record time he holds in the
Kobayashi Maru test. During this can't- win test, most students
struggle to determine the course of action that will kill the least
crew and civilians. Cadet DeLaney actually bombed a civilian city,
destroying countless civilians along with half of his crew. While it
was a justifiable course of action in the situation, the speed at which
he arrived at the decision bothers me a bit."

VII. Psychological Profile
==========================
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Star Date 81215
PATIENT: Cadet Commander Nicholas DeLaney
FINDINGS:
Cadet DeLaney appears to be a dedicated student with excellent career
prospects ahead of him. While not the brightest or most intuitive of
the students I've seen, Nicholas has an ability to apply what has been
successful for others in similar situations to his own current
circumstances.
Good qualities aside, however, Cadet DeLaney's mental state warrants
close observation. His early loss of his mother, isolation from others
and subsequent loss of his father seem to have combined to turn most of
his energies inward. While having no ill will towards others, Nicholas
seems to have no desire to connect either. His leisure activities are
almost exclusively solitary, and his Kobayashi Maru results indicate
little problem with sending others off to die when needed.
I would expect Nicholas to follow the rules and regulations expected of
him, but I would be wary of placing him in situations without precedent
or clear cut rules.

IX. Miscellaneous Classified Information
==================================
Nicholas believes there to be the potential for good and evil in all
creatures. Unfortunately, he has become fixated on the flaws in his own
character. He has come to realize that he has metaphorically bottled up
all his evil qualities into a small part of his own mind that he keeps
hidden.
Having analyzed his own personality problems, Nicholas has become
genuinely afraid to release the darkness near people and has generally
attempted to distance himself from others. Having gotten a taste of the
depth of the darkness he was capable of during his time in the combat
zone, Nik has spent a significant amount of time learning vulcan control
techniques.
His biggest fear, however, remains that he will be overcome by his own
evil nature, and destroy everything around him.
He will follow orders and do what's best for his unit, but he tends to
view his crewmates like chess pieces: Ideally he'd like to keep all of
them in the game, but when you have to sacrifice a piece to win, you
do.
