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.

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

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.

A. Chronology (tabular form):
------------------------------
EXAMPLE
0-13: Lived with parents.
13-18: Attended High School
17-20: Attended Ehwa Women's University in Seoul, Korea, where she received
her BS degree in Physics, with a minor in music.
20-22: Worked as a research physicist for Samsung electronics part-time and
played in the Seoul Symphony, but she stayed in Korea out of loyalty to
her parents. Finally her father practically ordered her to get on with HER
life, and so she decided to go back to school.

earend her doctorate in Applied Mathematics.
29-36: Worked for Starfleet as a civilian research scientist at Utopia
Planetia shipyard R&D in Communicaitons. Finally, feeling a certain
stagnation in her life, she put in for the AOT (Advanced Officer Training)
program and received her commission as an ensign in the Science Branch.
37: Completed AOT and ALB Training, awaiting assignment.
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.
Doctor Martin Jarvis
Staff Physician, Starfleet Academy
Monitoring Physician for AOT class 412
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Counselor Yolanda Black
Starfleet Academy Staff Psychologist
Monitoring Psychologist for AOT class 412
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

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 --------------------------------------------------
