During her second year at the Academy, Lael began studying Communications/Operations, Engineering, and Physics. | During her second year at the Academy, Lael began studying Communications/Operations, Engineering, and Physics. She did well in most of her classes, but the most memorable for her was her Engineering class during her first semester. The instructor for that class preferred teaching through experiences and she enjoyed the challenge immensely. While most in her class complained about his unconventional teaching style, she came to respect him for it. Seeing how the simulations he threw out barely fazed her, he made it a personal mission to come up with a scenario even she couldn't solve. In the end, he wrote a letter of recommendation that secured Lael's place on the {{USS|Victory}} following her graduation. <ref> [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-chintoka/jVDg9EQdgh8/QgXzqToyBAAJ System Reboot]</ref> | ||
At the end of her second year, Lael experienced disappointment when her first serious relationship of two years with girlfriend Ivina Genestra ended, albeit by mutual agreement. Though there was an attraction between them, they didn't feel anything for one another beyond friendship. Heartbroken, Lael went rock climbing with her friends that summer to get her mind off the break-up. However, due to her distraction and the foolish choices made by her climbing partner, she fell, resulting in a severe spinal injury that paralyzed her. She was told she'd never walk again. | |||

About a month following the accident, she was contacted by Doctor Gibbons. He was experimenting with the use of nanotechnology to treat otherwise untreatable spinal conditions. The procedure was highly controversial and hadn't yet been approved for Humanoid testing. Despite the risks, Lael agreed to be the first Humanoid subject to receive the procedure. Following the procedure, Lael completed extensive physical therapy to regain her mobility. It was during this time that she met {{n|Elina Kincade}}, who supervised her care and therapy. Through Elina, Lael also became friends with {{n|Rebecca Hollendale}} and with {{n|Dassa Alexander}}, one of Elina's students and an aspiring Starfleet medical officer. Prior to the beginning of her third year, Lael had an intimate liaison with Dassa, leaving the two permanently connected via an unintentionally-formed psionic bond. | About a month following the accident, she was contacted by Doctor Gibbons.
