Professional
Her first meeting with her direct superior officer went well, and Samira took the opportunity to ask her chief in a few lessons on how to use or defend herself against an ushaan-tor. During that first meeting Samira also learned she was not only the chief's assistant but was also required to be able to do the job of the chief herself.
The Kid (as she will probably always call him after their Skarbek-adventure) has really good intentions but sometimes Samira wonders if he's not having a hearing problem or if there's something wrong with his short term memory. Or maybe something else is in play. A thing she will need to find out somehow. Although she was far from impressed after finding out mister Smith had managed to shoot down one of his own crewmembers.
Having done an investigation together with the Trill, Samira was really impressed with her work and knowledge.
For the few times she had worked closely with the Commander, Samira has the most respect for him and is hoping that somehow she can still learn from him, even if they work in different departments.
Tasha has this wonderful skill, to explain engineering stuff on a level that even Samira, who is not engineering minded at all, can understand.
Megan, or Meg for her friends, is Sami's roommate on the Gorkon. At first Samira was a bit reluctant having to share a set of quarters with a mind reader. But over time Samira appreciated her company and the always positive mood the other younger woman is showing, especially after the dreadful Skarbek adventure.
After making a fresh start on the Outer Hull Party, after al she had been ordered to guide him to the brig on a previous occasion, Samira joined Orson towards the Lower Deck Party and what happened afterwards, if something did happen, is only known between the two of them. He was also one of the three people who found her after she escaped from two kidnappers during the The Njörðr Incident. After that event Samira discovered she had more feelings towards Bear than she had realized so far. After hearing that Bear had a hand in the break out of Valesha Sienelis, who had prior been arrested on charges of treason, espionage and murder, and had fled the ship, Samira felt quite devastated and shocked.
Following Toran's martial arts classes, Samira had learn to know Toran as a strong and wise man. Yet during shore leave after the Njörðr Incident, she has seen a more sensitive side of the man. Something she decided to keep to herself.
Not knowing how to deal with a few events that happened on the USS Njörðr, Samira decided to seek help with the Counsellor. The Bajoran woman taught her that it was not a bad thing to accept help from friends or crewmembers.
Background
With both her parents and brothers serving in Starfleet, it was only natural that Samira would follow suit. She had spend all her childhood and adolescent life on spaceships and was used of living amongst different species. Yet the moment she entered Starfleet Academy a new world opened to her, a world she couldn't get used to. Unlike most of her fellow students she missed the confinements of a ship, something most people did not understand. As a result Samira failed her first year terribly and if it hadn't been for the extra encouragement of her brothers she would have given up. So the next few years she made an extra effort to make up for her mistakes and bad decisions she had made the first year.
Mission History
- Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This- 239508.27-239511.15
A few days after having boarded the USS Gorkon on Trill Samira and the rest of the crew, were put in an induced dream. Totally having forgotten about her past, Samira found herself en route to the Maquis fighter Skarbek. The Skarbek was also carrying a Starfleet prisoner and after that prisoner had been beaten up rather bad, accusations between the crew were flying high. While being split in groups to find the perpetrator, the induced dream started to break up, and weird things started to happen to everyone. Samira found herself in a cave with a symbiont pool, encountered a unicorn named Faith, saw a row of isolinear chips doing the cancan and had to take a ride on the horrific Arkaria's Brandnew Roller Coaster, to name a few, before her group (including Red, Sticks and the Kid) caught a person (Bondon) who could shed a light on things.
Some time later, Samira woke up in the Computer Control lab, together with Trellis Vondaryan and Thalas th'Koro. After some investigation it appeared a piece of equipment from the high security storage, had been stolen by the same people who had induced the dream, and those people were no longer onboard the Gorkon.
Aftermath
The Maquis experience had as result that Samira is currently more closed than usual. She also ended up having nightmares, for which she refuses to seek help, with the intend of solving things on her own. Also the news that her brother Marlon was send on a secret mission for a few months didn't bode well.
- The Njörðr Incident- 239602.05-239603.25
While the USS Gorkon is undergoing some routine repairs and maintenance at Starbase 123, part of the ship's crew have boarded the USS Njörðr en route to the New Horizon conference. The ship however sustains heavy damage in an unknown nebula and gravity is upside down. Mostly thanks to Tasha MacFarlane, Groznin Smith and Trellis Vondaryan their little group, managed to hold back a warp core breach. After finding access codes on the Battle Bridge Tasha MacFarlane succeeded in to displaying a message on working displays around the ship, a message that was later altered by Admiral Quinn Reynolds. Leaving the Battle Bridge Samira was being separated from the others, as she was taking hostage by two escaped prisoners who dragged her through the Jefferies tubes, in order to escape from the doomed ship, using whatever means the prisoners deemed fit.
Managing to disable the prisoners one by one and getting severely hurt in the process, Samira was later rescued by Orson Marshall, Groznin Smith and Gnaxac. With their help they reached the Life Support Control Centre, where through an unfortunate event, the gravity switched back to normal. Shortly after they were rescued and beamed onboard the USS Yarahla.
Aftermath
Distracted from what she had experienced during the mission Samira sought help and guidance from counsellor Valen Carys, who taught her it wasn't a bad thing to accept help when needed. Contrary to what her father always had made her believe.
After spending a wonderful afternoon on the beach with Toran Sevo and Orson Marshall, Samira and Bear picked up where they left off at previous shore leave. So it left her quite devastated and shocked, having to hear that Bear had a hand in the break out of Valesha Sienelis, who had prior been arrested on charges of treason, espionage and murder. Both Bear and the Romulan, now wanted by Starfleet Security and Jag, had fled the USS Gorkon.
- Operation Sea Devil- 239605.15-Present
Having chosen undercover names and teamed up with Genkos Adea (Doc), Cory Stoyer (Dante) and Kyrrha Tereen (L’ahl Vad), Samira (Newt) had been ordered to capture the Orion Syndicate boss Leelou who is currently hiding in the asteroid Nassau in the Ma no Umi region. Arriving at the Leisure District, Cory and Samira head out to buy equipment, so that Kyrrha can make a jammer that would prevent Leelou to use any electronical devices she's carrying. Yet a merchant had different ideas as he tried to ambush the couple, yet Cory and Samira managed to outsmart the criminals.
Later at the Vortex Cory started making amok and managed to get into the VIP area where Leelou resided, where he was later accompanied by Samira who used the turmoil of a distraction created by Doc and Kyrrha.
The last two managed to get inside the VIP-area using the backdoor and the team managed to capture Leelou and took her back to the docks, where the Syndicate Boss made a last attempt to escape, but thanks to the swift actions of Kyrrha, Cory and Doc the Orion woman was quickly apprehended. The group managed to lure Nassau's Authorities and made their escape of Nassau that was currently in lockdown due to an explosion.
Arriving at the rendezvous point with the USS Triumphant, Samira was in shock when she was greeted by her brother, Marlon, who she hadn't seen for almost a year.
Marlon, aka Blackbird, had all this time been undercover in The Slims of Nassau. Although he was very skeptical about the people retrieving him, in the end Blackbird, did go with Jo Marshall (Marshall), Groznin Smith (kid), Corliss Fortune (the talkative one) and Caitríona Cayne (Fox), who had been send out to bring him back to Starfleet as Blackbird suspected that his cover was blown.
