Vorak is a traditionalist, whilst T'Plar is a more caring, typically motherly figure who does suppress her emotions but not to the extent that most Vulcans would. T'Pel is yet to really grasp logic and has little control over emotions, partially due to an upbringing on Andor away from any Vulcans with the exception of her family.

Medical History

Very little of Salak's medical records before his enrolement in Starfleet are available, and he is not forthcoming with specifics. It is not on record whether Salak had gone through the Pon Farr before the academy, or suffered any illness in his youth on Andoria.

His medical history during his time in Starfleet is well documented however, but is so far a fairly quiet file. Salak is not a regular visitor to sickbay and has a history of needing to be chased to attend Physicals. He rarely visits in cases of minor injury, citing reasons of logic.

Timeline

  1. 238212.28: A few weeks before this date, a loose piece of metal cut Salak's left shoulder during maintenance work. Did not attend sickbay on this occassion.
  2. 238303.15: An EPS Conduit ruptures in a Jefferies Tube which Salak is working in. Multiple second degree plasma burns and breathing problems. Hospitalised for several days of Dermal Regeneration and Anabolic Protoplases. Heart stopped on at least one occassion due to oxygen deprivation.
  3. 238304.24: Attends Physical upon joining USS Independence.
  4. 238307.27: Large cuts to the Chest after being attacked by a Gorn. Severe loss of blood required blood transplant from mother.

  • Date Graduated from Academy: Stardate 238110.23
  • Current Rank: Lieutenant (Junior Grade)

Working Areas

USS Independence (2383-Present)

Quarters (Room 04-????)

On Deck 4.


Chief Engineers Office

An annex of Main Engineering, Salak's office on the Independence bore many of the features of it's counterpart on the Wallace. The section contains a long curved desk, approximately half of which is taken up by a console. The other half is a flat surface used to place PADD's and Salak's usual cup of Spice Tea. Behind the desk is a curved window of transparent aluminium giving a clear view of the Warp Core. A long console fills the wall opposite this window, with the end of the section occupied by a replicator terminal, bio-neural gel packs, a relay and access to the Jefferies Tube network.


Deep Space 17 (2381-2383)

Quarters

Little used during Salak's initial time at Deep Space 17 and the USS Wallace, Salak was forced to use his quarters on DS17 after the events of mid-2382. More spacious than his quarters on the Wallace, the room is more airy and spartan; with minimal decoration. The lighting is similar to that of his quarters on the Wallace.


USS Wallace (2381-2383)

Quarters (Room 03-2921)

Deck 3, Section 29, Compartment 21. Salak's Quarters were reasonably small but comfortable. Salak kept his work on a desk close to the door, whilst he kept a meditation lamp on a shelf near by. There was a small table in the middle of the main room upon which he placed the lamp during meditation. The lighting was dark, with tints of purple.

Chief Engineers Office

Salak had an office on Deck 8 which consisted of little more than an Alcove in Engineering. The office contained multiple computer access terminals along with a desk which was frequently cluttered with PADD's.

Subordinates

As Chief Engineer of the USS Wallace, Salak was the Senior Officer for the Engineering department of the vessel and thus members of the department were his sub-ordinates. Due to the nature of the vessel, the Engineering department was usually divided into Teams, a system Salak would later use on other vessels.

Salak's Assistant Chief on Wallace was Ensign McLoughlin. Upon the Independence, his new assistant was Ensign Culan and he also works alongside Indy veteran Chief King.

Guilds & Duty Post Groups

Salak is a member of the Guild of Vulcans, the Readers Guild and the Starfleet Corps of Engineers, Starbase 118 Division
