Ayiana Sevo/Relationships
During her time attending Starfleet Academy on Trill, Ayiana participated in the Academy's Cultural Exchange Subspace Friend program. She communicated regularly with a Human cadet named Cadfael Peters from Earth Academy. The universe had a sense of humor, it seemed, as they were both posted to the U.S.S. Victory within weeks of each other. Their first meeting was during a combat away mission a day into her posting.
Their second mission together - first contact with the Sunak - ended with Peters injured and Ayiana comatose. During that time, Cadfael stayed by Ayiana's side in sickbay whenever he was off-duty, even putting his "good-luck" watch on her wrist. After Ayiana had woken from her coma, Cadfael had declared his love to her.
The pair's newfound affection would prove to be short-lived, however, as Cadfael was transferred to the U.S.S. Darwin on their next mission. Their relationship would remain a close friendship, and they promised to keep in contact.
The first time Ayiana met Ensign Janel Tarna, he was surprisingly rude towards her. This attitude continued for some months, though the pair had limited contact. It was not until Ayiana helped rescue Tarna from captivity that the pair began to mend their relationship and start a fledgling friendship.
Ayiana was immediately impressed with the stoic Angosian science officer when he first came aboard the Victory. He was incredibly logical and very smart. In addition, he had excellent organizational skills which helped Ayiana immensely in running the science department, as she was not very orderly. In the short time she has come to know Tarsii, she has come to highly respect the man for his intelligence and professional skills. Ayiana regards him as one of her most important colleagues and a close friend. Sadly, their relationship was halted when Tarsii was abruptly reassigned to another ship.
Captain Nugra has been instrumental in Ayiana's budding Starfleet career. Upon sudden transfer of the Victory's former Chief Science Officer, Captain Nugra decided to promote Ayiana to the position as a newly-minted Lt. JG. While she had doubts herself about the responsibilities of commanding a department, Nugra thought she would do well. He was right. A few months later, Nugra yet again surprised Ayiana by promoting her to full Lieutenant. Ayiana was heartbroken to learn that Nugra would be giving up his command of the Victory, and reassigning most of her crew to a new ship.
While Ayiana may not fully understand the reptilian Gorn, he has no doubt had a significant impact on her life and career. Thus she has come to respect Nugra immensely.
While Ayiana was comatose following an injury, Talia Kaji used her telepathic abilities to enter Ayiana's mind in an attempt to discover the problem. It turned out Ayiana's symbiont, Sevo, was undergoing a psychotic breakdown caused by a traumatic pre-joined memory. Talia managed to navigate the strange dreamscape of Ayiana/Sevo's minds and managed to mend Sevo's mind; consequently allowing Sevo and Ayiana's minds to rejoin.
This very deep and invasive mental probe left some sort of lingering telepathic connection between Ayiana and Talia, despite the fact that Ayiana, as a Trill, has very limited telepathic abilities. The pair recently discovered that they could "feel" each other in close proximity, and Ayiana's surface thoughts were surprisingly easy to read for Talia, even if she wasn't trying. Bursts of emotion from one was felt particularly powerfully on the other. The two planned to experiment with this newfound connection to see how far they could push this unique relationship. In a way, Ayiana feels this telepathic link has brought her closer to Talia. When Talia was presumed dead on an away mission, Ayiana felt a deep emotional loss, which she couldn't explain at the time.
