He joined the Vulcan Merchant Navy where he served as a junior technician aboard the S.S. Yarahla until 2399 when he was injured in a plasma leak and forced to seek medical attention on Denail, He found out that Alex was his sister and started chatting about their lives, their father and anything else that came up.
