Danielle Vistain

Vyas: "Come on, Danielle, let's go!"

Vistain: "All right, already! Sheesh, Bhavin...it's not like you had a shuttle land on you or something..."

Vyas: "Oh, you are never going to let that go, are you?"

Danielle Vistain is a junior engineering officer aboard the USS Independence-A.

Backstory

Vistain is often posted in the ship's shuttlebays. Among her friends is Durrell Taylor, a fellow junior engineering officer who is also assigned routinely to shuttle maintenance.

Both Vistain and Taylor were in the shuttlebay when Tenzin Zhou first came aboard the Independence in 2387. Later that year, Taylor revealed that his late friend Tyler Morris had harbored a crush on Vistain.

In December 2387, Vistain was caught pinned against a shuttle before the bay itself was about to decompress. Fortunately, the engineer managed to free herself and then make her way into the shuttle for safety. After the incident, doctors recommended that she not work in the shuttlebay, at least initially, but by May 2388, she had returned to duty in her original post and had even gained some affection for shuttlecraft number 3, Kitty Hawk, the same shuttle that had nearly killed her and then served as her protection.
