SCOURGE OF ROMULUS

Lael joined the crew shortly following the Luxis III mission. She played a role in repairs to the damaged vessel until the crew was temporarily re-assigned to the USS Achilles while the Victory was in port for repair and refit. The Achilles was sent to work with the Romulan Republic in hunting down missing vials of the Skyfire Virus. During the course of the mission, Ensign Janel Tarna noticed a suspicious-looking female carrying what he thought to be the missing vials in a box and immediately gave chase when the woman ran. Lael went after Janel to offer back-up. However, she found herself caught in a firefight and was kidnapped in the chaos that ensued.

She awoke to find herself in a shuttle with her captors. Despite her fear, she taunted her captors, refusing to provide them with the information they were seeking. Lael and Janel were held in an unknown facility and tortured for three days by Sicarius. It was later discovered that part of that torture was a drug that enhanced the emotions of its victims, administered on the first day of their captivity. This resulted in a strong sexual attraction between the pair. While Lael and Janel were attempting to escape, Janel took a severe beating which led to a head injury and Lael took a Romulan knife to her right side while attempting to stop the Romulan from claiming Janel's life. They were later rescued by Lieutenant Tarsii Asmara and his team. After the team recovered the vials, Janel was rushed back to the Achilles, where he underwent surgery and care for his injuries. Even after the drug was out of her system, Lael found that her attraction to Janel hadn't faded. She stayed by Janel's side during and following his recovery.

AFTERMATH

Lael was called to the Captain’s Ready Room, where Nugra commended her on her actions. During this meeting, she requested and was granted a transfer to Helm/Comm/Ops. During the awards ceremony, she was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and awarded the Prisoner of War Ribbon, the Silver Lifesaving Ribbon, and a Purple Heart. She later discovered that Janel wasn’t present at the awards ceremony because he had gone AWOL. Consumed by a desire to become a host to a symbiont, he had defied doctor’s orders and piloted a lone shuttlecraft to Trillius Prime, desperate to make it back in time. Upon his forced return, Lael visited him in his quarters and learned that he had been rejected by the Symbiosis Commission and his family had disowned him. Neither he nor their blossoming relationship were the same after that. She then underwent counseling for her time in captivity (aka the Temlai incident).

THE SPIDER'S WEB

Following the awards ceremony and shoreleave, the Victory was again underway. Once out of dock, Harrington James, a space pirate and captain of the SS Lady Adventure, contacted the Victory and provided Captain Nugra with the coordinates to a Starfleet vessel, the USS Arrow, an Archer-class vessel lost in the early 23rd century. James came across the distress signal from the vessel and decided to pass the information along. Nugra pursued the lead and had Lael set a course to retrieve the ship. Upon arriving, Nugra assigned away teams to investigate. However, due to minerals in a nearby asteroid field that were confusing sensors, the teams were forced to use shuttlecraft out of concern that the same minerals would interfere with the transporter signal. Lael picked up some strange readings but couldn't get an accurate scan due to the interference from a nearby nebula. Though the readings weren't clear, the pattern indicated it might be another ship.

Once the away teams were on board the Arrow, the readings grew stronger and became more clear as the vessel approached and made contact with the Victory, stating that the Federation ship was in Tholians space and must leave immediately. However, they could leave until they had retrieved the away team. With the clock ticking and sensors limited, Lael and the Asmara work to find a way through the faraday field preventing them from rescuing the stranded away teams. The two were able to work a solution that used the Veritas orbs, lining them up to create a subspace relay of sorts, allowing them to extend their sensor range and target an asteroid. This would create a hole large enough in the field for the Victory to fit through.

However, before the plan could be implemented, the enemy ship attacked with Tholians webs that caused radiation leaks on Decks 5, 6, & 7. Lael reported to help evacuate the affected decks and treat the evacuated crewmembers. She donned an environmental suit and met Janel and Danny Wilde on Deck 5. Lael used the Jeffries Tubes to travel down to Deck 7 to find anyone left behind, then work her way up. While on Deck 7, she set up a containment field so the leak didn't reach the lower decks. During the course of her search, she came across Michael Goodwell, a suited up security Ensign who aided her in her search. They brought a few groups back to be inoculated.

Leaving Goodwell behind to wait for the next group, Lael went back down alone to check the remaining sections. However, she experienced hallucinations and passed out. When she awakened, she realized that her environmental suit was ripped and that the hallucinations were most likely caused by radiation exposure. She was able to seal the crack in her suit with duct tape, but she had already been exposed. She hurried to finish her search and report back for inoculation. By the time Lael got the last small group back to the meeting point, the Tholians had taken over Sickbay. Working with Goodwell, she inoculated everyone, hoping to delay onset for the less severe cases. Goodwell inoculated her, but she had a severe reaction to the inoculation and began seizing.

AFTERMATH

After the away teams returned safely to the Victory, the Tholians left abruptly and the Victory managed to use a tractor beam to tow the Arrow back to drydock. When Lael awakened, Janel filled her in on what happened. She then joked about how they haven't had a real first date and the two briefly discussed the possibilities before she placed calls to her worried mother and brother. She and Janel attended the awards ceremony together. She was awarded a Medical Science Ribbon for her part in rescuing and inoculating the crew. Following the presentation of the awards, Janel revealed to Lael that he had been transferred to the USS Darwin-A. While Lael was saddened by the news, she was determined that they would make the relationship work. When shoreleave was over, she reported for her new assignment, Helm/Comm/Ops aboard the USS Gorkon.

Notable Relationships

• Janel Tarna: Lael and Janel developed feelings for one another while both were held captive and tortured. They dated for a period even after Janel was transferred, but mutually ended the relationship due to the distance.
• Tarsii Asmara: Though the two only served together briefly, she came to highly respect his intelligence and his dedication to his duty.
• Nugra: Despite her initial hesitation, she came to highly respect him as a commanding officer and as a colleague. She enjoyed working with him and was sad to see him step down from command of the Victory.

• Rank: Lieutenant
• Duty Post: HCO Officer
• Commanding Officer: Captain Keelah Rhani
• Stardates: 239404.18 - 239407.07

PEACE IN OUR TIME

Lael arrived aboard the Za shortly after her surgery with little time to settle in. She reported to Captain Keelah Rhani as well as her required new crewmember physical and psychological assessment, reporting for her first duty shift as HCO on the bridge. At first, the mission didn't seem that out of the ordinary -- first contact with a bear-like humanoid species, the Hocktin, who were testing their first warp ship, the Pathfinder. They were a curiosity, to be certain, and Lael's inner engineer was positively giddy at the thought of exploring their unique ship design. She was assigned as part of the team with Chief Engineering Officer Commander Alex Blair and Chief Operations Officer Lieutenant Commander Kalos Fiorr that would set up a ship to ship network so the two races could exchange information while Captain Rhani and a selected team sat down with the vessel's commander, General Kzan, to arrange a meeting with the President of Hocktin, Longza.

After a couple days' journey, they arrived at the Hocktin homeworld. Just before beaming down, Captain Rhani learned that a flea-like creature had bitten one of the Za crew and had infected that crewmember with a deadly virus. Rhani informed Lael and her team of this and ordered them to finish up and report back to the Za as soon as possible. Despite the dangers, Captain Rhani decided to beam to the surface with First Officer Lieutenant Commander Trellis Vondaryan and Chief of Security Lieutenant Junior Grade Krindo Pandorn to continue discussions regarding an information exchange. However, during this meeting, a radical, Marshal Numiz, a military leader, abducted them and held them hostage.

Shortly after the Pathfinder had landed on Hocktin and the Engineering team had finished setting up the network, Lael was bitten, presumably by the flea-like creature, and experienced a strange reaction to the bite. Through communication with Lieutenant Chythar Skyfire in Sickbay, they learned the symptoms and that estimated time until the final stages of the virus (aka death) was 72 hours. It was also around this time that Commander Blair learned from the Deck Officer, Lieutenant Commander Alexander Williams, that Captain Rhani and her team had been taken prisoner. Once the comm had closed, Cjnur, one of the officers aboard the Pathfinder, attempted to take the Engineering team hostage. But Lael's martial arts expertise enabled her to disarm the two other guards and gain the upper hand.

Whilst taking Cjnur to the planet's Space Center to find a way to locate Captain Rhani, they ran into Professor Mindor, the designer of the Pathfinder, and President Longza himself. After a direct conversation between the President and the away team with the Za, it was decided by Lieutenant Commander Williams, despite the high risk of exposing the whole crew to the Hocktin virus, that Professor Mindor would beam aboard to aid in finding a cure. While trying to gain furthur insights into both the situation and Numiz's possible plan, Lael began experiencing further symptoms, such as limited no-touch telepathy and no-touch empathy as well as headaches, nausea, dizziness, lack of focus, and pain. Concerned, Commander Blair went along with Cjnur going to retrieve a medic for Lael under the watchful eye of Ensign Richards, which allowed them to get Cjnur out of the room. After a brief discussion, the President agreed to provide a blood sample in hopes that it would aid the Science team aboard the Za in finding a cure for the virus before it took more lives. Lael drew the blood and the container was beamed aboard the Za behind a forcefield to prevent it from infecting the Science team.

Meanwhile, on the planet, Commander Blair, who had also began experiencing symptoms, had begun working with Lael and Lieutenant Commander Fiorr as part of a rescue attempt to narrow down possible locations where the Captain and the others might have been taken.

Notable Relationships

• Alex Blair: Though the two had worked together throughout their time in the other universe, they became closer when he began dating her best friend, Chythar Skyfire. They had a bit of a falling out when it was uncovered that Lael shared a deep telepathic/empathic bond with Chythar as a result of him pulling her back from the brink of death during her spine replacement surgery and that she was nursing a physical and emotional attraction to Chythar. Since their experiences with the Hocktin, the two have resolved their differences and repaired their friendship.
• Chythar Skyfire: The two first met during the Gorkon's halloween masquerade, but really only became close after they became trapped in the other universe. In a moment of compassion upon seeing Chythar so miserable, Lael began a series of social graces lessons intended to make him less awkward. However, during their time in the other universe, they developed a close bond, even sharing a kiss while under the influence of extreme duress, believing the rest of the crew to be dead and them soon to be so. This sparked their telepathic/empathic link, which was only strengthened when Chythar pulled her back from death during her spinal surgery. The two have since resolved the tension between them and are closer than ever.
• Dassa Alexander: She is considered one of Lael's best friends. The two first met back at the Academy while at a bar one night, leading to a drunken one-night stand between them. They remained close friends and developed an unusual empathic connection. When Lael met her now ex-husband, Jensar Berel, he forced her to sever ties with Dassa out of jealousy, which Lael stupidly did. Years later, following Lael's divorce from Jensar, the two reconnected aboard the Gorkon. Dassa still held a non-platonic affection for Lael, which put a strain on their friendship. However, Dassa eventually came to terms with her feelings and began dating Tobian Dalton, a counselor aboard the Gorkon. Lael's surgery was particularly hard for her as, in the midst of performing the surgery, Lael's death broke their connection. Though this was hard at first, when Chythar was able to bring Lael back, Dassa and Lael began work on repairing their friendship. The two are again very close.
• Anjar Thoran: They worked together prior to their time in the other universe, but really became close when they were stuck there together. They shared a brief fling after Lael's break-up with Jansen, but remain just friends. The two have an easy banter due to their similarly cocky natures and share a close friendship, though not nearly as close as Lael shares with Dassa, Alex, and Chythar.
• Michael Goodwell: The two met on the Victory when Lael was trying to charm her way in to see Janel (who had gone AWOL and was confined to quarters when he returned). Michael initially nursed a crush on the charming Lael, but during their time in the other universe, fell in love with Abigail Young and was planning to propose to her when she died, something that he blamed Lael for.
• Aleya Thompson: She and Lael first became friends while serving together aboard the Victory. Aleya's fun and laid back personality was a welcome relief to the everyday anxiety and stress when they become trapped in the other universe. The two are still friends and talk regularly.
• Madeline Young: The daughter of a colleague, Abigail Young, who died in the other universe, she became Lael's ward after her Abigail's mother died and Abigail's will named Lael as a back-up guardian. Lael, Dassa, and Chythar have all since developed a very close bond with the little girl. Maddy affectionately refer's to Lael's two best friends as Uncle Chythar and Aunt Dassa. She connects most closely with Chythar, perhaps because of their shared abilities. She was extremely angry and disappointed in Lael's decision to send her back to Earth to live with Adelynn, Lael's mother, after the Hocktin virus nearly took Maddy's life, claiming that a starship was too dangerous for a child.
• Yishira Somlen: Lael first met Shira as her counselor after Tobian and Dassa started dating. Though she initially didn't like the woman very much, Lael has come to respect her professionalism.
