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."
	-CDR Mark Valdez, Senior Flight Instructor, Nova Squadron Sponsor,
SFA

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.

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." -CDR Mark Valdez, Senior Flight Instructor, Nova Squadron Sponsor, SFA

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.

Reprimand History:

No Formal Reprimands on File.

Personal History and Origin:

When Alexander was born, his father had already served Starfleet for 
almost a decade. His mother, having never had much of a taste for interstellar 
travel, had long since elected to stay behind, awaiting her husband’s 
return after each mission his various starship assignments while tending 
the family’s ancestral hot springs inn with the help of Alexander’s grandparents. 
By the time Alex was three, his mother gave birth to his sister, Ruri, and the 
pair of them grew up helping their mother tend the springs and otherwise grew 
up in the relative calm of the countryside.

When Alex was about ten his father finally returned to Earth for good, first 
taking a position at the San Francisco Dockyards and eventually retiring from 
Starfleet service all together. His father’s retirement didn’t come before 
Alex managed to become enthralled with his father’s career path. Having been 
an engineer his entire career, Ichiro had a knack for telling stories about 
the many adventures and near misadventures he’d had while serving on starships. 
Alex never realized that his father had such an interesting job, and it wasn’t 
until he finally enrolled in Starfleet Academy and began to take courses that 
he realized how many of his father’s stories carried with them heavy 
embellishments simply for entertainment purposes.

Unlike her brother, Ruri didn’t share the Sato male compulsion for all things 
mechanical. Instead, she chose to enter Tokyo University to obtain a business 
degree so she could return home and manage the hot spring on her own, following 
their mother’s footsteps of responsibility and stability.

Starfleet Academy Career Summary:

Alexander Sato entered Starfleet Academy with the intention of becoming an 
Engineering student much like his father. His interest in Engineering was put 
to the wayside when Alex discovered some of the details his father had left out. 
While it didn’t totally dissuade him from the engineering realm, Alex decided 
he would rather take on the role of a strategist. His childhood reading obsession 
gave him the head start he needed, since many of his favourite books had been on 
the subject of Ancient Asian Martial Culture. With an old, worn, dog eared copy 
of the Six Military Classics of Ancient China sitting on his desk, Alex felt that 
he might perhaps make use of what he’d learned sitting under his favourite tree 
to build a career of his own. 

His second year at the Academy gave him the false impression that he would rise 
to the forefront of his class. His foreknowledge of basic tactics gave him much 
confidence though it also doomed him to being somewhat arrogant about his own 
mastery of things. He did however finish his first year at the top of his class, 
and many instructors predicted that he would indeed go on to do the same for 
the next two to come.

Third year and the Signal Intelligence course proved to be a stumbling point. 
While his grasp of the engineering principles were solid, some of the less than 
concrete and often times fluid codes and countersigns and decryption methods 
gave him much pause and held him back at times. While he finished the course 
satisfactorily, he was far from the top student, and lost his arrogance about 
his own skills.

By fourth year, he approached the Advanced Course on Tactical Analysis with great 
caution. He never tried to get ahead of himself even when the concepts were fully 
formed and locked in his mind. He became methodical and calculating to the point 
of obsession, taking great care not to repeat his mistakes from his second year. 
He was reward with outstanding grades for it, but it would not give him enough of 
a boost to realize his ambitious goal of being the head of the class.

While his grades never faltered and his dedication was never questioned, Alex was 
rarely seen throughout campus, and indeed for the majority of his four years his 
roommate was the only companion he had. Despite dozens of attempts on his 
roommate’s part to thrust the reclusive man into the social arena, Alex never found 
his niche and would rather spend his off time back in the reclusive and isolated 
home he grew up in rather than the clubs and bars of the big city. 

Alex graduated in the upper portion of his class, neither proving extraordinary 
nor mediocre, but he did prove himself to be a dependable officer when faced with 
ever-changing circumstances which was important in the decision to send him to 
the USS Cutchall for his first assignment. Life aboard the Cutchall was relatively 
calm, the ship didn’t enjoy the rigorous and fast paced missions that other vessels 
of its class did, and it rarely saw heavy combat action. The few times it did, 
Alexander showed that he could man any station needed and often times had to take 
on more than one task during the heat of battle when damage to the ship rendered 
stations inert and his fellows became injured because of it.

His first promotion came with transfer orders to the USS Valdosta, where he was 
placed in charge of the Sensors Division within the department. His enthusiasm to 
do the best he job could became evident immediately, and his division was cited 
twice for their superior work during missions.

The third year of his assignment aboard the Valdosta saw him advancing to the role 
of the CIC Executive Officer, giving him a chance to show the CIC Officer and the 
department what he was made of. Even though the pressure of the job overwhelmed the 
young officer at times, he did find himself prospering once he managed to get used 
to the workload.

His year spent as CIC Exec earned him his second promotion, and a few months 
thereafter he found himself being sent to a recent addition to the inventory of 
Blue Fleet. While Alex has some misgivings about being placed in a position of 
responsibility that would normally be given to a much more seasoned officer, his 
natural enthusiasm to succeed and be a valued member of his new crew will not 
allow such trepidations to impede on his performance.

Medical Report:

nor any hint of hereditary disease or infirmity that are or will later surface and 
prevent him from serving Starfleet.

Psychology Report:

At the time of his initial medical examination, Alexander Sato is reported to be in 
perfect mental condition, showing neither signs of emotional instability nor any hint 
of hereditary mental afflictions that are or will later surface and prevent him 
from serving Starfleet.
