Ann Readdy was born, on August 15, 2360, in New Chicago, to Walter and Florence Readdy. Her childhood was relatively normal and she has one brother, Richard and one sister, Kaye. Both siblings are younger by 10 years and 4 years, respectively. Everything was fine, up until a certain day, in October of Ann's senior year of High School.

On the evening of the last Friday of October, of the 2377-78 Senior year, while Ms Readdy was attending a school-sponsored Halloween party at a downtown Chicago hotel, dressed in an outfit she designed. It was comprised of a black catsuit,with silver trim and short black boots. Strapped to both forearms and the sides of both lower legs, were gray and silver pneumatic  

pston cylinders, like those found on late 20th Century PP615 drop sealers.

Ann stepped outside, for some fresh air. Unbeknownst to Ann, a cloaked science vessel, from an unknown world, Thalax, had settled into a geosynchronous orbit, over North America, New Chicago, specifically, and positioned itself, right over the hotel. Before Readdy could react, she was struck by a bright blue "energy bolt" emanating from the Thalaxian science vessel, unknown to the Federation, at that time. This bolt triggered, what was then called Spontaneous Trans-Molecular Mutation.

This was done as part of an effort, on the part of the Thalaxian race, to infuse other species, with their DNA and find out how each species "responds".First they study the planet's people, then after extensive, long-range scans, a single person is chosen, based on brain function, body mass and age. The Trans-Molecular Mutation, is actually a "side effect" of the DNA enhancement/infusion process.

This "process" mutated the pistons and air supply lines to Ms Readdy, and altered her DNA, melding hers with Thalaxian DNA. Thus the pistons, their air supply lines and fittings became living tissue, despite their appearance and feel. Becoming living tissue meant they could actually bleed upon damage and pain could be felt. What made this even more remarkable, was that these "appendages" can "autoregenerate" at will! Auto regeneration requires going into a deep "sleep", resembling a coma. Upon completion, Ann will awaken, on her own.
