Lael Rosek/Career Milestones and Achievements

THE TEMLAI INCIDENT

This was the first mission of Lael's career and possibly one of the most significant given that the reason she was dropped from the Command track was due to her reaction to holovideos and descriptions of torture during an Academy class. She and a colleague, Janel Tarna, were held prisoner by a Romulan rebel faction (Sicarius) for three days. While imprisoned, they were tortured for information and drugged with an agent that reduced their ability to reason and heightened emotions in hopes that they would be persuaded to modify the Skyfire Virus for Sicarius's purposes. She was also sexually violated by her captors.

However, she managed to fight through her fears, anxieties, and the drug that was muddling her ability to think and work with Janel to form an escape plan. It was during this time that she killed for the first time to protect and save Janel's life. This particular mission, despite the psychological scarring she still carries from it, earned her the respect of her Captain and colleagues. She was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and received a Prisoner of War Ribbon, a Silver Lifesaving Ribbon, and a Purple Heart for her courageous actions in the face of life-threatening circumstances.

This would set the tone for her career, her actions and choices dictated by a strong self-sacrifice mentality where she would place greater value on the lives of her colleagues and innocents than her own.

THE THOLIAN INCIDENT

While a part of the Victory crew, Lael had her first encounter with the Tholians. Captain Nugra had received a tip from space pirate Harrington James of the SS Lady Adventure that a Starfleet ship, the USS Arrow, was floating abandoned in space. They went to the coordinates only to discover that the ship was deep in Tholian space. Away teams beamed over to investigate. However, the ship had, unbeknownst to the crew, been caught in a faraday field, making them easy prey for the Tholians.

She was working with Tarsi Asmara on a way to free the ship when the Tholians attacked with Tholian webs that caused radiation leaks on decks 5-7. Lael reported to help evacuate and treat affected crewmembers, but somehow tore her EVA suit, exposing her to the radiation. She continued evacuating the decks and once everyone was safe, she received a radiation inoculation, but had a seizure and fell into a coma. She awoke later in Sickbay after the mission had been completed.

DOCTORATE DISSERTATION: STEM CELLS AND NANOTECHNOLOGY IN SPINAL INJURY REPAIR

Lael did extensive research in an attempt to combine organic and mechanical components to replace her permanently damaged spine, using the mechanical components to repair wear-and-tear damage that occurred as a result of everyday activity with hopes of slowing down the damage to end the life of the spinal replacement. Once completed, her article was published in the Starfleet Medical Journal, Daystrom Institute Journal, and the Journal of the Daystrom Institute, earning her the title of Doctor.
