Background
Indrid Yirah was born in 2374 as the youngest child to Redena and Darin Kiaon. He grew up in a small town called Heran’zul. Sandwiched in a valley surrounded on all sides by hills and mountains, it rained often and the scenery was filled with lush vegetation, including many kinds of grasses and wildflowers. The people there mostly raised livestock, as they had been doing for hundreds of years and it was in this scenic, if not somewhat static, landscape in which Indrid was raised.
In his youth, Indrid was known for two things, his wide-eyed curiosity, and his general tendency to be flaky. The moment he picked something up he put it down again, leaving a trail of half finished projects and partly studied hobbies, of which there were many, in his wake.
He decided to join the Starfleet Academy rather on a whim, something that was typical of the young Trill. From the outside it seemed like an odd choice and many people he knew just assumed it would be another thing that he dropped after he took the preliminary test but, in truth, Indrid had recognized that his life needed a direction and figured that Starfleet would at least provide him with opportunities to grow.
After months of studying Indrid managed to pass the Academy entrance exam, only barely making the cutoff. His years in the Academy were difficult as, while he didn’t lack intelligence, discipline and good time management skills were just as alien to him as some of the fungi in Commander Niles’ Xenobiology class. Outside of his classes he joined the Starfleet Academy trivia team.
It was during his second year as an Academy student in which the idea of being joined with a symbiont took root in his mind. He had thought about it before, but more as a passing curiosity than giving it any serious consideration. It was in one of his biology courses where a guest lecturer from the Symbiosis Commission on Trill gave a presentation on the science behind joining that he began to think about it seriously. His final paper for the class ended up being about the commonalities in behavior between Trill symbionts and some species of Earth parasites that altered the behavior of their hosts. While far from being the most tactful paper that he could have written, it was what got him interested in learning more about the evolution between Trill and symbiont. However, there is only so much one can learn from books and interviews; by the end of his third year he had put in his application with the Symbiosis Commission to be joined.
Some time later, and two months after he had been joined to the Yirah symbiont, he was assigned to report to Commander Jo Marshall for his senior exam. And that is where his story truly begins…
