BACKGROUND |
Lael was born Stardate 236711.04 two minutes before her twin brother Kellan in Cedar Rapids, Michigan to mother Adelynn Rosek. From birth, she was curious, always eager to explore her surroundings, particularly the outdoors. By the age of six, her natural curiosity had led her to discover her talent and fascination with fixing and building things. She excelled in school, outstripping her peers, especially in Math and Science. She spent summers studying wildlife and pursuing outdoor activities such as hiking, swimming, rock-climbing, mountain biking and climbing tall trees just for the view. She kept mostly to herself, her closest relationship being with her twin brother, Kellan. The two would often dodge through the forests near their hometown playing games such as tag and going for swims in a nearby pond.
As she grew older, she blossomed socially, her charm and easy laughter making her fun to be around. She, Kellan and their friends would spend summers swimming, swinging and cliff-diving. Her natural athleticism led to an active sporting career in middle, where she ran as part of the track team, receiving medals in numerous events.
At age 14, she attended a Starfleet summer camp and fell in love with the idea of Starfleet. From then on, she was determined to pursue a career in Starfleet. She devoted every spare minute of her time to preparing, sacrificing a social life for her dreams. It all paid off when she was accepted at the tender age of 18.
Lael wanted to pursue Engineering, but was pressured by her mother to join the Command Track. However, the vids and textbook descriptions of tortures caused her such a degree of stress that she nearly developed a split personality. She was removed immediately from the Command Track and forced to select another major or be discharged from Starfleet. Though at one point she considered accepting the discharge and going in search of her father, her brother encouraged her to stay with Starfleet and pursue Engineering.
Ivina was her first monogamous relationship and they were together for her first year as a Cadet. However, they mutually decided to end the relationship because they weren’t in love. The summer after her first year at the Academy, slightly heartbroken from her and Ivina’s ended relationship, she went rock-climbing with some friends, resulting in a fall that injured her spine to such a degree that she was told she would never walk again. But Lael was determined. She accepted an experimental treatment from another doctor and four months of physical therapy later, she was re-admitted to the Academy.
During her third year at the Academy, she met Jensar Berel, a Betazoid Ambassador. Their relationship moved quickly and within six months, they had eloped despite protests from both their families. Six months later, Lael graduated at the top of her class and received an internship assignment aboard Starbase 118 as an Apprentice Engineer. They remained married for another six months before his older brother’s death resulted in them divorcing so he could take his older brother’s place as Ambassador. She moved on and six months later met Alva Tigan, a Trill merchant. The relationship was short lived, however, as Alva ended things after her joining.
A few days later, Lael was transferred to the USS Centris-A where she served for her cadet cruise. Shortly after completing her cruise, she was assigned to the USS Victory, which was severely damaged by the singularity over Luxis III, resulting in her temporary reassignment to the USS Achilles for a mission to investigate reports of a deadly plague being stolen from a Romulan facility. During the course of the away mission, she and Doctor Janel Tarna were captured and torture in an attempt to convince the Starfleet Officers to help modify the plague. While confined, Lael formed a friendly association of sorts with the young doctor, leading to a budding romance.
Tarna has since transferred to the USS Darwin-A and Lael has taken a position as HCO aboard the USS Gorkon.

Personality Summary
She is extremely ambitious, persistent, determined and somewhat controlling. Not in a stubborn sense however, because she works for what she wants and controls with justified reasons. She never gives up when in pursuit of a goal. She is resourceful, adaptable and flexible, allowing her to re-survey a situation and take a different approach if necessary. She is fiercely competitive with strong observation skills and an excellent memory, allowing her to recall facts and when necessary, bring them to the table at the time of need. She uses proper facts and arguments to support her thoughts and opinions, ultimately winning her many intellectual and other battles. Her adaptability makes her an asset in diplomatic situations and she excels at restoring order to a chaotic situation.
Strengths
Charming and self-confident, Lael is the ideal diplomat and a great person to have around in tense situations. She puts all she has into everything she does and doesn't settle for anything less than spectacular. Her strong intuition allows her to determine a person's true motives, alerting her in moments if the individual is not to be trusted. Fiercely loyal, faithful and dependable, she will fight for those she loves and for what she believes is right. Her high intellect and dedication makes her a great problem-solver, an ideal person in a crisis. She's mentally strong, which allows her to overcome most external influences. Her natural curiosity and love of exploration make her exciting company.
Weaknesses
Despite her high intellect, Lael is prone to extreme jealousy and once involved in something, can border on obsessive. She's the classic workaholic, determined to solve all the universe's problems herself. She doesn't forgive easily and never forgets, occasionally acting on her vengeful tendancies. Part of her natural diplomatic skill is her ability to manipulate. Though she more often than not uses this trait for good, it comes in handy when she's in the mood for revenge. Her stubbornness and low tolerance for change mean she's inflexible regarding her beliefs and routines. She has great difficulty in acknowledging her flaws and can be somewhat judgmental of others, especially if her own beliefs are attacked.
Talents & Abilities
Lael is a very gifted individual whose talents span multiple subjects. Her main talents lay in mathematics, physics and engineering. Her curious nature drives her to take objects apart to see how they work. Her out-of-the-box approach to problems allows her to come up with some quite ingenious ideas to get out of some very sticky situations. She is also a quite skilled diplomat. Her ability to read others allows her to calm turbulent situations and have the other side thinking that the solution was their idea.
Ambitions
Ambitious by nature, Lael is drawn to power and everything that comes with it. She strives to rise through the ranks, determined to eventually become a Captain someday. In her everyday life, she is a perfectionist who challenges herself to be her best and do her best. She has a strong set of moral absolutes that it is almost physically painful for her to stray from and forces herself to find alternatives to keep them intact.

WHAT HAPPENED AT LUXIS III
Engineering Officer's Log, Stardate 239202.23 I arrived at the tail end of the mission and with the computers down, I can't get much information as to what happened. Engineering is a mess. There's been mention among the crew of a singularity. It's certainly consistent with the damage. Without access to the logs of what happened, I don't know where to begin unraveling the mass of melted wires and blown circuits. Hopefully, someone will be able to get enough power to the computer that I can review the Engineering and Bridge recordings. That should give me a place to start. |
SCOURGE OF ROMULUS
Engineering Officer's Mission Log, Stardate 239205.03
After spending three days in captivity following our initial failed attempt to retrieve the vials of the virus from the criminal that resulted in myself and Ensign Tarna being taken prisoner, I was able to assist Lieutenants Asmara & Sevo as well as Ensign Carpenter at last successfully retrieve the vials, apprehend those responsible, and return Ensign Tarna to the Victory. During our captivity, Ensign Tarna received an number of injuries ranging from minor to serious. At this stage, he is being treated for severe head trauma, undergoing surgery. Commander Vess hopes to know more in the coming days as to the extent of the damage and how it will effect Ensign Tarna's pursuit of his duties.
THE SPIDER'S WEB
HCO Officer's Mission Log, Stardate 239207.12
A difficult mission is finally coming to a close as I heal from radiation sickness. Thankfully, we were able to retrieve and cure all crew exposed. There will be aftereffects for some, but they will mostly be limited to less severe symptoms. The greater portion were quick to heal and are back to their normal duties. As for the lost Starfleet ship, Lieutenant Sevo and the other members of the away team were able to retrieve a great deal of information from the ship's memory banks. Strangely, the Tholians retreated quickly, leaving us the opportunity to wait for the arrival of a tow ship to take the old bucket to the nearest repair station to be picked over. No doubt it will be mothballed and turned into a museum exhibit, but at least we're one step closer to solving the mystery of her long-ago disappearance.
