Gila first met Vailani Zoyara when the latter was unconscious in the Artemis' Sickbay, but the first time they spoke was when Gila was being accosted by a particularly hypochrondriac Bolian hybrid in the Brew Continuum on her 'break'. In the aftermath of that encounter, Vailani and Gila became fast accomplices to each other's workaholic tendencies, and enjoyed a good while of companionable working silence. In spite  of their radically different tempers, they became fast friends, and while distance has restricted their opportunities to truly lean on each other in times of distress, they still remain in subspace contact with handwritten letters, and even took trips during shore leave together. That aspect of their friendship is likely on permanent hold now that Vailani has been transferred to the faraway Amity Outpost, but Gila looks forward to the letters as much as ever.

Gila's first meeting with the Betazoid then-Second Officer was on the surgery table after he endured severe trauma during the Suliban boarding, but in the time that Gila's served on the ''Artemis'', she's had plenty of opportunities to form a more well-rounded opinion on the Lieutenant Commander. He's been a source of comfort in her most troubled times, most recently talking Gila out of a shameful resignation, and while Gila remains undecided on whether the crew is truly better off with her a part of it, she's dedicated to serve to the utmost of her abilities while she's here. She remains deeply concerned about the Lieutenant Commander's general health, as their encounters always give her the general impression of man who carries the world on his shoulders, but how does one ease that burden from someone all too stubborn to accept help?

Lieutenant Silveira and Gila's relationship is characterized by an uneasy dance between friendship and professionalism. The colloquial ease with which the Lieutenant consistently discards all social decorum, coupled with his far too observant interest in Gila's past, causes the secretive Mizarian to remain on her guard around him at all times, and yet, it also remains true that few aboard the ''Artemis'' has been as consistent in making Gila feel welcome and part of the crew. Last shoreleave, Lieutenant Silveira had invited Gila and Lieutenant Jovenan to cooking night in the Holodeck, and while anxiety was a constant companion as ever, Gila found that, perhaps, one day, she could consider the mischievous Tactical Chief a friend. (But that's an opinion that she'll keep to herself for a while yet. Wouldn't do to encourage him.)

While in different departments, calling Lieutenant Jovenan Gila's aspired goal would not be remiss. In the time since joining the ''Artemis'' Gila has been able to rely on the professionalism and good sense of the Edo Lieutenant time and again, and while confidence is a rare feeling to Gila, she finds that she's able to better emulate it when considering the bravery with which Lieutenant Jovenan faces her own fears and insecurities and the kindness that she has showed her. While most of Gila and Jovenan's acquaintance has been overlapping endeavours during the ''Artemis''' many missions, their shared acquaintance - Lieutenant Silveira - has started enabling the two to form an attachment outside of their duties as well, and most recently, the three of them shared a homecooked meal in the Holodeck 2. Hoping to be friends with a superior is very much at odds with how Mizarian Unit Theory works, but in spite of that, Gila finds herself actively seeking out Lieutenant Jovenan in moments where she feels most insecure, knowing that her leadership will see them through all tasks ahead of them.

Commander Genkos Adea is a consummate professional in many circumstances and an intolerable tease in most others. The Commander's primary goal in their working relationship is - as far as Gila can tell - to push her as far out of her comfort zone as possible, and while this is an attitude she recognized from others as well (notably Captain MacKenzie herself), the Commander may have pushed her one step too far. On a recent mission, Gila, Cdr. Adea, LT Jovenan and Ens Gnai were all transplaced to Ki Baratan, with a singular goal. To fake the Dominion's assassination on a Romulan Senator. It is perhaps unfair to aim the blame for that mission and the toll it took on her mental state on the Commander - it was a no-win scenario, after all - and yet Gila can't quite help it.
