→Life Before Starfleet

In dire need of a change, Helen returned to school to pursue a degree in psychology. David's father died, leaving the entirety of his restaurant empire to his son, which David manned with his mouth full of the bitter taste of his own failures. In search of comfort, he entered into an affair with an employee: Anna Greco. Helen was too clever for this to remain secret for long. Devastated, she left David and returned to the home of her parents. Six months of arguments, short reconciliations, and fights, as well as a third miscarriage, passed before Helen finally filed for divorce. She ended all contact with him. | In dire need of a change, Helen returned to school to pursue a degree in psychology.

As soon as she obtained her psychology license, Helen applied to Starfleet Academy, determined to get as far away as possible from David and the remnants of her shattered youth. Buried in her work, life proceeded uneventfully for a while, until her nerves reached their breaking point. Helen succumbed to a nervous breakdown, forcing her to take a leave of absence--the reason, however, is somehow stricken from her personal record. At home, her parents tried to get the best care possible for their daughter, though doing little more than leading Helen into an overly medicated haze. | |||
