Aquila, his mother, had never spoken of her reasons for leaving; or what kind of man his father had been, let alone who he was. At first Harry resented that. He speculated about the various scenarios that led to them fleeing Leya-I, in some of which Aquila played the role of the villain. But as Harry got older, he'd come to realise that it was her story to tell, and maybe one day she would. Till then, he would have to appreciate the cards he'd been dealt and try to make the best of it. | Aquila, his mother, had never spoken of her reasons for leaving; or what kind of man his father had been, let alone who he was.

As a child, Harry moved around a lot. Dr. Aquila Kiani's life's work had revolved around synthesising new strands of resilient food crops meant for colonies that couldn't afford the necessary energy for replicators, especially when supporting a growing population. This meant doing long stints in desolate systems, alongside hardy folk trying to make a life for themselves. Sometimes they'd even hitch a ride with federation starships aiding some of those distant colonies. It was on one of these trips that they met Isobel Ryce.

Dr. Aquila Kiani's life's work had revolved around synthesising new strands of resilient food crops meant for colonies that couldn't afford the necessary energy for replicators, especially when supporting a growing population. This meant doing long stints in desolate systems, alongside hardy folk trying to make a life for themselves. Sometimes they'd even hitch a ride with federation starships aiding some of those distant colonies. It was on one of these trips that they met Isobel Ryce. She worked as a teacher aboard the USS Curie for the children of the families it carried. She taught arts and crafts, creative writing & mathematics, and since Harry came aboard he'd been allowed to attend the classes, like all the other kids. They would remain on the USS Curie for a year, and when his mother announced to Harry that Miss Ryce and her were to be married, it was hard to determine whether the child had been happier about the news than the blushing pair. | ||
After that, life became much more sedentary. They had relocated to Tarola'n, Alpha Centauri IV, Isobel's home. Harry's love for holophotography, he would readily admit, was inherited from her during his time there. Although he confessed no real skill at the craft.

They had relocated to Tarola'n, Alpha Centauri IV, Isobel's home. Harry's love for holophotography, he would readily admit, was inherited from her during his time there. Although he confessed no real skill at the craft. Upon turning eighteen Harry was informed that he would be pursuing a course of study at his mother's alma mater, the University of Betazed. He would be majoring in Cognitive Science, a multi-disciplinary field that played to the strengths of the university; combing courses from its high acclaimed scientific graduate programs, with core subjects in the psychological studies department, widely regarded as the best in the Federation. | ||
