Background

Early life

Seja parents meet on Tallos III where her mother Elken was working as a nurse in the local hospital and her father Bjorn had fallen ill during his transport vessels drop. Elken had found her father kind, unlike the locals who mostly ignored her because she a Bajoran refugee. After Bjorn left Elken found out she was pregnant. They kept in contact and Bjorn tried to visit and then 5 years later she was pregnant again. This time Bjorn arranged for his now expanding family to come live in with him on board ship.

Then 2 year later Seja was born. Seja spent her early childhood on aboard long distance transport vessels with her parents and two brothers. During the dominion war, the transport vessel was in starfleet convoys. She spent hours looking out of the window at the federation ships in awe and played games pretending to be the uniform officers she saw when they stopped at Starbases. This was the start of her dream to join Starfleet. During the war her father and the crew learnt how to fire weapons, as well as her elder brother much to her mother's dislike. When Seja was old enough her father also taught her. During one convoy attack Seja got trapped in one of cargo bay, a harrowing experience which she had nightmares about for years.

It could be fun living aboard a ship, she learned how to fly from a young age and how to handle herself in zero g. But sometimes boring with the long stops between station and her parents being busy with ship business and sometimes her and her brothers found trouble.

Through out her childhood her parents made an effort to introduce her and her brother to planets taking her place with snow, deserts, lake, forest etc... Seja found them interesting but intimidating with all the open space. They also tried to do what normal families did on planets they taught her to ride a bike within the ship corridor, they'd go for picnics a stellar phenomena in the ship shuttle and on outing when they were docked at stations like for family meals and bowling. Seja loved stopping at stations and visiting the sweet stand with the hopes they'd have her favorite treat - a Jumja sticks.

Seja mother tried her hardest to teach Seja and brothers Bajoran culture. She taught them Bajoran history, about the occupation, about the Prophets and the Bajoran language and gave them the food and drink of her people.

When Seja was 9 they moved to her mother’s brother farm on Bajor. Seja and her brother Relk didn’t settle. After a year, they moved back to transport vessel, leaving her eldest brother Birnath who was 17 behind. Then when Seja was 12 her mother left. At 15 her mother requested Seja to live with her and her new family. Seja was angry but reluctantly agreed she continued to visit her father during holidays. She spent 2 years living on the colony on and off before moving back to her fathers transport permanently.

At 18 Seja applied to Starfleet, but was rejected. She spent the next 2 year working on her father’s transport vessel. Life was fun aboard the vessel and she saw a very different side to it that from when she was a child. They drunk Cider, Beer together after work in Rec room and engaged in pub games. When they stopped at planets during the day they would do adrenaline activities and night frequent the bars. Her elder brother Relk always watched out for her. Sometimes things got a little out of hand for example Seja had to rescued by her brother when Jet Skiing after falling in and being unable to swim. During long voyages they would play pranks on the new crew members and Relk taught Seja some engineering tricks.

At 20 with much persuasion from her father, she reapplied to Starfleet and was accepted.

During first year at the academy, she dated Cadet Riley who she meet thought Jiu-Jitsu, he was a fourth year and a bad influence on her and her studies. After he left the academy and reduced contact, she vowed to focus on her studies and career over everything else. Deeba was her roommate during her first year and introduced her to Masala chai, they lost contact as their studies took them in different directions.

In her second year Seja failed General Astrophysics and had to take an extra course in her third year to make up for it.

After graduating from Starfleet academy, Seja was assigned to one of the federation embassy on Betazed. After a year on betazed her dreams came true and she was assigned as security officer to starship USS Constitution.

USS Constitution

Shortly after arriving on the Constitution she is sent on search and rescue mission through the Hinji jungle to find a downed shuttle crew. A member of the team is a Cardassian ensign Vehk her interacts with him cause an internal struggle between being brought up by her mother's with a hatred of the species and Starfleet's views on tolerance. Seja is keen to impress and luckily the mission is a success and Seja is promoted to Assistant Security Chief. After the mission she discusses her internal struggle with T'Seva (acting chief of Security) and comes to conclusion she judge every individual by own merits not their species behaviour which she still finds hard.

After a crew party Seja finds herself trapped on the holodeck with the other senior staff in a world of Dungeons and Dragons. She finds this experience difficult being out of control having weapons she is unfamiliar with. Seja and Ensign Horne work well together during the mission and it is somehow a success and they escape. Seja has found herself a little wary of holodecks after this experience.

During shoreleave Seja's elder Relk arrives which Seja is really looking forward too but Relk is struggling to accept the past and their mother's leaving and is turning to drink and party to cope. Seja speaks to counsellor Saveron and speaks to her father about him. Relk is unhappy about this and they are slowly drifting apart.

The crew are sent to retrieve a prototype federation ship (Geneva) from Klingon pirates. Seja is first to volunteer to join the infiltration team and become Klingon (the surgery isn't easy). But everything does wrong - her team lead by the Geneva engineer Tam turns out to be a liability and traitor. When it comes to battle with Klingons, she makes the discussion to shot the Commander to keep everyone else safe. Seja get shot in the battle and as they continue the mission Seja tries to take command of the team but her body deteriorates to the point of being life threatening.

Seja struggles to come to terms with what happened on the Geneva at first keeping secret what had happened to Tam. In the gym she refused to open up to Doctor Foster which severely damaged their friendship. Later she opens up with the truth to Captain Jalana Rajel and starts a long road to recovery. Seja was also left with severe damage to the nerves in her left arm making it inoperable at first caused by the tainted distributor that nearly killed her. She worked on rehabilitation therapy with Doctor Spears which she has found a slow and frustrating process. During this time spoke with Saveron and she explored other non physical areas of security with Doctor Spears providing simulated murder to expand on her investigative skills. By the end of shore leave she had gained majority use of her left arm, still struggling to do finer movement with her fingers like playing the piano but was cleared for duty.

The next mission which involved rescuing a Lineran scout ship from Lembatta Cluster, was quiet in comparison of the previous mission for Seja as she was assigned escorting the Linaran Minister Ohain with questionable ethics around the ship. But as she watched the creature being born she re-realised why she had joined Starfleet, to protect creatures like these. She went on investigate and find out the truth of what the Minister planned to do to the egg and baby and to report it.

During shore leave Seja's brother Relk decided to join the ship to do his recruit training. Seja is not comfortable with having him around and with some of the decisions he has made like changing his name to their fathers, dumping all his stuff in Seja quarters and his past drinking. She did spend some happier times with Raven and Ed going bungee jumping.

During there mission to investigate some strange energy reading Seja and her team were sent back to Halloween in 90s Salem. They were used to recover an alien space ship which made a telepathic connection with Seja's brain searching through her memories and leaving images behind. Seja is still trying to sort through those images taking Saveron's suggestion of visualising the images with drawings.

During shoreleave Seja and Ed went on their first date, taking a shuttle to a stellar nursery and enjoying a picnic under the stars. And Raven and Seja went skiing. All 3 of them (Raven, Ed, Seja) were promoted to chiefs.

The next mission started off with training on the holodeck driving Argos. The training got quite competitive as they raced the 4 Argos (firing at each other) and Seja seeing a new side to Ed as they raced head to head to the finish. On the track they faced dinosaurs and serpents. After a brave/stupid attempt to reach the finish first, Seja rolled her Argos beyond repair surrounded by dinosaurs Ed came to the rescue ( driving his bungee into the head of a T-rex ) and forfeiting his chance to win.

The mission itself involved driving the bungees to a damaged research outpost and ending up performing an evacuation as storm was incident. After the storm a second group was sent and Seja found it difficult to be left behind and putting others in danger instead of herself. She spoke to the captain about this and learned a lot about the role of command she had recently taken on.

During shore leave Seja got a chance to get to know Alex Blair more after working together on the research outpost to rescue one of the engineers. Seja also finished working with Relk on her holographic visualisation of her dreams left behind by the alien vessel. This allowed Relk and Seja to grow closed again and after Saveron advice will be passing the work onto Starfleet archaeologist in the hope she will get more information. Seja and Ed went on a second date that started off well visiting an interesting art exhibition but ended with them both in the brig after the exhibition was interrupted by protests. The experience made them closer.

Seja found herself back at the academy confused about why it was different unbeknown to her she was in a dreamscape. As the dreamscape went on they realised that they weren't still cadets and that they had graduated and now were officers on a Starship although their full memories didn't return until they were back a while. The experience caused Ed and Seja to discuss their past and to define their relationship. Seja opened up to Ed about Relk and a difficult memory of nearly drowning from her past. Seja had always troubled to open up to people but with the events over the last couple of years she is determined to change that.

The next mission was a trade mission to a sky city for a precious gas that if the stories were true could one day replace Dilithium. Seja went one of the investigate teams to a mining ship and soon found out how dangerous and bad the work conditions were to extract this gas. Unfortunately Seja was strung by a insert that had come with them from the Conny and was soon unconscious. Seja missed the next events as the city was attacked by a large creature called the Razaar that lived in the gas giants atmosphere. Seja was unable to help in the initial rescue but worked with their police department afterwards to find out the attack was caused by an neighbouring city unhappy about the Federation's trade talks.

As they returned to the station the captain was arrested. Seja joined her friends ( Ed, Sav and Laz ) for her first experience of playing keyboard as part of a group.

After USS Constitution

Seja left the Conny to take on a new challenge as Chief of Security of a struggling department. At first she enjoyed the challenge but after a while she found it frustrating and lonely as she struggled to changes she wanted.

Seja was seconded to intelligence for a mission involving tracking down who was supplying weapons to xenophobic Bajorans. She did well and made some good connections and was easily persuaded to stay undercover long term given her current difficulties as chief.

Then after 16 months under cover she was in too deep and too attached to the cause. She given up a lot for it. She made a mistake, blew her cover in the hopes of capturing the leader of the group. But it went wrong her fellow operative was nearly killed and she found herself demoted and on medical leave. This was classified.

For the next few months, she was depressed, moving between short-hall freighter job and bar, pulling in all those connections her and her father had to keep herself busy. Finally with no where to go she ended up on her eldest brothers doorstep on Bajor. She stay in the Vedek guest quarters for a couple of months, slowly recovering but still lost. Her brother persuaded her to go on a counselling retreat.

It took her a while but she finally realised that she should return to Starfleet. She signed up a refresher course at the academy. During the 10 months of training, she improved her skills in helm, intelligence and starship operations, hoping that it would give her best chance of a position given her background.

Awards and Service Ribbons

Award Name Date/Assignment Citation Sheathed Sword 23950628 USS Constitution-B I believe everyone has been injured at one point or the other. Most of the time the injuries are healed quickly and the character goes about their day again. But every now and then someone gets injured bad enough that even the apparent magic of Sick Bay won't be able to heal wounds right away. During our last mission we had such occurrence through a poisoned disruptor bolt injury about which Starfleet didn't know much. This could have been over with quickly by writing that Klingons knew a way how to deal with it, but this writer chose not to. Instead she decided to commit to the consequences and is taking the time to send her character through the aftermath, the trauma and rehabilitation, portraying the mental and physical recovery. For adding this piece of realism and depth to her character and the plot, she deserves to receive this award. Neelix Award 23960624 USS Constitution-B The Neelix Award is reserved for writers who do just that, and our honoree this year has done it all and more. This person is always helping out. Be it updating Wiki pages, helping other players both new and old, brainstorming plots or participating in mission planning among the staff. This person had become both and asset and an invaluable member of the behind the scenes of the Conny. Pathfinder Award 23970615 USS Constitution-B And one of these mentors is highlighted today. She has been part of the Conny's Staff for over two years now and dozens of new players have had the pleasure to meet her, many of which were her mentees. So it is not surprising that we hear a lot of great things about her. To quote two of her nominators she "has shown great talent in mentoring others and is a very deserving recipient of the Pathfinder Award. [...] Each email she sent to the newcomer was filled with genuine care and kindness. It was a shining beacon on what a mentor really should be.' and 'Yito Seja is a person who never fails to step up to the mentorship plate. Not only has she taken on a respectable number of mentees, she has also dealt with some uniquely challenging individuals who required her to go above and beyond what a typical mentor might experience.' As a CO it is a pleasure to have watched her grow since she had joined the crew and become a dedicated mentor who has the best of every player on the ship in her mind. I couldn't agree more with those who nominated her . Service Ribbon Name Date/Assignment Citation Starfleet Academy Graduate Ribbon 23930628 Starfleet Academy Awarded to those who have graduated from Starfleet Academy. Joint Meritorious Unit Award 23941104 USS Constitution-B When during our last mission our own people had gotten lost, you got together and did what you could to find them. One of these things was to ally with two Hinji individuals who - to say it nicely - were a challenge to work with. You took the challenge and turned it around to an opportunity. You worked together to the goal of finding our people. Diplomacy Ribbon 23941104 USS Constitution-B One very important part of the last mission was diplomacy. While we had not anticipated that of a relief mission, every path we took, ever corner we turned to, diplomacy had been vital to make sure we didn't twirl into a hurricane with the Hinji or to even kick off a war. Despite the hardships and challenges each and everyone of you has distinguished themselves by looking for diplomatic solutions in situations that could have escalated rapidly. Silver Lifesaving Ribbon 23941104 USS Constitution-B The last award that I will present holds a personal aspect. Each of you faced the unknown Hinji jungle, carrying supplies, with guides in whom we did not trust, for a destination of which we were not certain, in order to retrieve our crewmates. You tolerated uncomfortable conditions and overcame significant obstacles. And through it all, you carried me. Had you not done so, I might not be here to make this presentation. Purple Heart 23950518 USS Constitution-B Your injuries sustained this mission did not go unnoticed, and this is but a small token of Starfleet's gratitude. Good Conduct Ribbon 23950518 USS Constitution-B Risking your lives to face off against determined pirates in face-to-face confrontations, you have earned this award handily. Joint Meritorious Unit Award 23950518 USS Constitution-B It took a lot of diplomacy and tact for you to work with our host ship and crew to save the lives of the SS Geneva, and you all did so exceedingly well. Explorer's Ribbon 23951016 USS Constitution-B For the discovery of a new life-form (Grabby). Defense of Temporal Flow Ribbon 23960207 USS Constitution-B For protecting the timeline after being sent back to Salem. Lifesaving Ribbon 23960612 USS Constitution-B For rescue mission on Gamma Orionis VIb. Explorer's Ribbon 23961113 USS Constitution-B For discovering a new Species. First Contact Ribbon 23961113 USS Constitution-B For making first contact with the Dream Weavers. Department Chief Ribbon 23961113 USS Constitution-B For holding the title of department chief for no less than 6 months Starfleet Academy Graduate Ribbon 240111.06 Starfleet Academy Awarded to those who have graduated from Starfleet Academy.
