Thelev displayed overt hostility toward Valis and her attempts to appeal to logic failed, causing him to become infuriated and leave the room. This unsettled Valis and, after meditating on the situation, she decided that IDIC - the Vulcan principle that infinite diversity is found in infinite combinations - required her to resolve the differences between her and the Andorian; only then could they harmoniously achieve the good brought about by their being combined as part of the same crew.

Relationships
Jhen Thelev
During her time on the USS Ronin, Valis was assigned to help then Ensign Thelev upgrade the ship's computer. Thelev displayed overt hostility toward Valis and her attempts to appeal to logic failed, causing him to become infuriated and leave the room. This unsettled Valis and, after meditating on the situation, she decided that IDIC - the Vulcan principle that infinite diversity is found in infinite combinations - required her to resolve the differences between her and the Andorian; only then could they harmoniously achieve the good brought about by their being combined as part of the same crew. She thus transferred into the Communications Department under his command until such time as she they were truly able to work effectively and amicably together.
Jackford Kolk
Valis was assigned to the Ronin at the same time as was Jack. They had also been at Starfleet Academy, Earth Campus, together, although they had little direct interaction while there. They were assigned quarters in close proximity to one another while on the Ronin, and Jack displayed a peculiar interest in Valis' relationship with Jhen; he seemed to find it... amusing. This perplexed Valis, though she never discussed it with him directly.
Once, during a shipboard catastrophe, she and Jack were trapped in a turbolift together. This incident helped to cement their friendship. Jack eventually began encouraging Valis to be more sociable, which Valis found valuable. This social tutoring continued once he become First Officer of the Ronin and resumed once he and Valis were reunited on the USS Endeavour-A. This again aided Valis in her endeavors to seek IDIC through amicable relations with members of every species.
T'Rau
Valis was honored to become en-ahr-at (roughly translated "godparent") of a friend's daughter. During the child's Ahm-van-kal (naming) ceremony, Valis melded with the child, who revealed that her name was T'Rau, from the word terau which means to fasten.
