|valign=top|'''Crushed Dreams:''' During the spring of her first year at the Academy (stardate 238603.14), Lael was required to attend a mandatory psychological evaluation after her instructors and peers expressed concerns over her erratic behavior. The evaluation revealed that she was experiencing psychological trauma due to viewing and reading about torture. She was immediately dropped from the Command Track and nearly kicked out of the Academy. | |valign=top|'''Crushed Dreams:''' During the spring of her first year at the Academy (stardate 238603.14), Lael was required to attend a mandatory psychological evaluation after her instructors and peers expressed concerns over her erratic behavior.

''' | '''A Change of Plans:''' Lael was allowed to continue at the Academy on stardate 238608.17, but had to select another major and attend counseling sessions each week as well as regular physicals to determine her fitness for duty. Her passion for fixing things and for science lead her to an Engineering and Helm/Comm/Operations dual major with a minor in Physics. | ||

|valign=top|'''Another Boulder:''' After breaking up with girlfriend Ivina, Lael was devastated. Her close friends coerced her into a rock climbing trip up Mount Whitney. However, the trip ended in tragedy when her climbing partner, Michael, wanted to go up a dangerous face and didn't anchor the piton into the rock properly. It came loose and sent both plunging to their deaths. Lael survived by falling onto a ledge and was paralyzed from the waist down due to a serious fracture of her lower spine. | |||
'''An Unusual Beginning:''' About a week after her accident (238706.14), Lael met [[Elina Kincade]], who was Lael's nurse at the time. The two gradually became friends and Elina continued to support Lael through her recovery. | |||
'''New Hope:''' Told by her doctors that she'd never walk again with serious assistance due to the severity and location of her injury, Lael fell into a deep depression that not even those closest to her could pull her out of. It wasn't until she was approached by a civilian doctor that she saw a glimmer of hope for a future that didn't involve a wheelchair or other assistive device. She was the first Humanoid to receive a highly controversial nanotechnology spinal repair treatment. | |||
