When Akoni turned 8 years old, her parents pulled her from her studies for one month to accompany them on a special family visit to Vulcan. Albanos had made considerable ties with a Vulcan couple during his first mission there, the one Gaiana had helped him with before their marriage. The Soriano's met with Silok, T'Karik, and their son, Selar who was one year older than Akoni. Selar was a quiet, kind, and thoughtful boy who always put consideration into every word he said. Although he was immediately put off by Akoni's contradictory and loud behavior, Akoni was instantly drawn to him and his foreign persona and refused to settle for anything less than a mutual friendship. Akoni eventually understood Selar's dislikes for loud voices and erratic behavor. Keeping this in mind, she followed Selar wherever he went, despite his disapproval to this. At one point during the second week, Albanos amusingly called her "Selar's Shadow", much to Akoni's and Selar's annoyance. Akoni became quieter and more controlled of her outbursts, earning the interest of Selar at the change. The two began to speak more frequently, but mostly with Selar speaking over his should nonchalantly and Akoni curiously asking questions around corners. While the their parents were away, Selar took Akoni on "adventures", as she liked to call them, throughout the inside and outside of his house. More than once, Akoni would convince Selar to hide with her from the Vulcan housemaid, T'Veran, even though they both knew the inevitable lecture they would receive for doing so afterwards. The exchange in behavior led to a close friendship between the two as they grew to be best friends. Selar began to act more boldly and spoke more often, suprising his parents at the change in behavior. As an only child as well, Selar was often private about his affairs, seldom sharing his thoughts or opinions with others. | When Akoni turned 8 years old, her parents pulled her from her studies for one month to accompany them on a special family visit to Vulcan.

Since Silok T'Karik were both professors at the Vulcan Science Academy, their influence was apparent in Selar. He would often show Akoni the equipment he'd received as gifts from his parents. Wildly interested in scientific items, Akoni grew a passions for Selar's favored field of interest, astronomy. The two spent most nights staring through Selar's telescope, admiring the beautiful Vulcan night sky that differed ever so slightly from that on Tandar Prime. By the end of their visit, Akoni and Selar had become inseparable, despite the faint friction that had sprung between them when the Soriano's arrived. The two exchanged comm addresses and easily stayed in touch. | Since Silok and T'Karik were both professors at the Vulcan Science Academy, their influence was apparent in Selar.

On the return home, Akoni told her parents of the wonderful time she'd had with Selar on Vulcan. Albanaos and Gaiana were very pleased that their daughter had enjoyed herself, until she mentioned her new found love for the sciences. They immediately shunned her interests and scolded her for believing in time consuming and useless research. Shocked by her parents reaction, Akoni dropped her curiosity in science for sometime. Later on in her high education, she was reintroduced to astronomy as well as starship engineering. Her interest was re-sparked and she secretly began to pursue them under her parents surveillance. As soon as Akoni graduated from her secondary schooling, she instantly applied to StarFleet and was accepted 2 months later. | On the return home, Akoni told her parents of the wonderful time she'd had with Selar on Vulcan.
