Lieutenant Commander Jovenan is an Edo Starfleet officer. She is currently serving as the Chief Science Officer aboard the USS Artemis-A. Born on the Edo homeworld in 2373, she enrolled in the University of Hurkos in 2390, when the planet was ending its isolation. Upon graduation with a degree in Planetary Sciences, she entered the Starfleet Academy. In 2399, she received the commission as ensign and was posted on the USS Excalibur-A, later transferring to the Artemis with much of the Excalibur crew.

Early life and education

---

Jovenan was born in the Ramakis Community of the Somian Region on Rubicun III, the Edo homeworld in the Alpha Quadrant in 2373, before the planet’s accession to the Federation. The ongoing Dominion War didn’t affect the remote and neutral planet, allowing Jovenan to grow up in a peaceful environment. She was raised communally, common in her home region. She had a happy childhood, but as she grew up, she found she had no desire for intimate relations, an important aspect of Edo culture. While the other members of her community were accepting of her, she started to feel herself an outsider in her own culture. This roused her longing to leave Rubicun III.

In 2390, she was accepted to University of Hurkos Bachelor Programme in Planetary Sciences. Pending the permission of the Edo God and governance to leave the still partly isolationist planet, the university allowed her to participate in education remotely from Rubicun III. She excelled in her studies, and she was eventually allowed to leave for Hurkos III. The life in the campus was, however, too large a cultural shock for her, and she also faced harassment due to her culture. She faced mental difficulties, and her grades plummeted. Her community back home pleaded her to return, and she eventually agreed. She spent almost a year on Rubicun III before returning to Hurkos III to complete her remaining studies. This time she passed as human, which made it easier for her to concentrate on studying, and she graduated in 2395.

Starfleet Academy

After graduation from the University of Hurkos, she became interested in Starfleet and the possibility to explore strange new worlds. She joined the Starfleet Academy in 2395. Her decision to major in science had been obvious to her before applying to the Academy. Already having a degree in Planetary Science, she chose to broaden her skill set and specialize in something new to her, namely astronomy and xenobiology. She completed a minor in Communications and Operations. She didn’t actively hide her being an Edo anymore, but with so many humans around, very few had reason to think she wasn’t one too. She had almost perfect record in sciences but struggled with the mandatory combat and piloting courses.

She completed Starfleet Academy final examination at the Starbase 118 Campus. The examination was supervised by training officer Commander Genkos Adea, assisted by Lieutenant Commander Wil Ukinix. She assumed the role of the science officer of USS Centris-A during an away mission on Durosa, where they had received a distress call.

USS Excalibur

Jovenan shortly after joining the Excalibur in 2399.

Jovenan was first assigned to USS Excalibur-A, a Vesta class explorer. She was happy to join a vessel with extensive scientific facilities, but she was also uncertain of the Borderlands, the area of operation of the Excalibur.

Her introduction to the ship had to be postponed, as the ship was in the middle of a diplomatic mission. After the delegates were poisoned, Jovenan joined the crew she didn’t know yet to identify the source and find a cure. She met more of her colleagues during the following shore leave. The leave was however cut short as two officers went missing and were later kidnapped by a group of Klingons wishing to destroy the Excalibur. Jovenan and her colleagues discovered data on their location and status, providing the bridge vital information that helped in avoiding the destruction of the ship. She was awarded her first service ribbons thereafter.

USS Artemis

Along with many other officers and crewmembers of the Excalibur, Jovenan was transferred to the Luna class explorer USS Artemis-A in 240002. She first boarded the ship after the brief shore leave on Deep Space 224 wearing her new skant uniform.

Their maiden voyage was to Meranuge IV, where a meteor had hit the city of Tecra. Their relief efforts were cut short after the locals and telepathic crewmembers became aggressive under the effect of Da’allium dust. After the discovery of the cure and a shoreleave on the planet, Jovenan was promoted to Lieutenant JG. During a drill-turned-fight against pirates, Jovenan showed her skills in operating multiple different systems. She was then appointed the Assistant Chief Science Officer. Soon after the appointment, the crew had to face their counterparts from an alternate universe. The counterparts tried to take over the Artemis, except for Jovenan’s counterpart, who was killed after warning the Artemis.

The ceremony in which Jovenan was promoted to (full) Lieutenant and Chief Science Officer was interrupted by CloQ, and the crew was moved to an alternate past. After spending some time in c. 2376 Dominion Occupied Betazed, Jovenan and her team travelled back to 2374 Romulus with the intention to fix the timeline. After their attempt failed in setting the history back to its proper course, CloQ revealed Jovenan and others how the Starfleet had gained the Romulans to their side in the Dominion War in the reality. During the next shoreleave, Jovenan lead a training exercise in Bajor with disasterous consequences, and some of her team got injured.

Later in 2401, the Artemis was to join the Frontier Day celebrations at Earth. However, they discovered a Borg Cube on their way. Unable to warn Starfleet due to Changeling sabotage, the Artemis continued to Earth. After the Borg assimilated all the young members of the crew, Jovenan and other senior officers had to fight them for survival. Following them defeating the Collective, Jovenan found herself promoted to a Lieutenant Commander.

The return to the Borderlands was marked by a rescue mission on Ura Neteos III that turned to an unintended (second) first contact. A trip to the Rinascita system, to the Genesis Planet and the final resting place of USS Resolution, forced Jovenan and her team face-to-face with old friends and foes. The Artemis then proceeded to Galaris IV, where they investigated claims of outside interference in the war between the local powers, inadvertently getting drawn in the middle of the battle themselves.

Shoreleave 240112-240202

Shore leave: DS224 - 2401 (USS Artemis-A)

The Artemis spent the shore leave at Deep Space 224.

Jovenan took a tour to remind herself of the places on the station, when she met Dakora. The two decide to go eat somewhere together, when they are joined by Lt Commander Salkath. Salkath wanted to apologise to Jovenan for placing her in an uncomfortable situation before the events of the Frontier Day by suggesting that they would try to gain access to the Fleet Formation files without permission. Jovenan hadn't thought about that or what would have happened if she had agreed. They both express their apologies for how they acted. Dakora says that they both acted with good intention. They agree to let the issue go, and instead Jovenan asks if Salkath would like to join for their meal. They go to Vulcan restaurant, where they discuss their past in Starfleet and before that.

Plushy doll Silveira

Silveira invited Jovenan to see a project he had been working on. It turned out to be an holographic representation of an old Earth arcade. He is very excited to show her the games he has selected for each of their colleagues. He introduces Jovenan to a bubbleshooter game, which he has selected for her as it reminds him of her and it is the cutest game there. They play together, very close to each other, until they are surprised by Captain MacKenzie, who starts questioning them over what is happening there. They show MacKenzie around, introducing her to the games. After finding a pair of plushy dolls left there by Lyara Alroyo, they convince MacKenzie to try a racing game while continuing to talk together. Jovenan shows intent to leave, but Silveira stops her and gifts her the other of the dolls they found, the one that looks like him. MacKenzie unexpectedly jumps in and forces their hands together and "orders" them to a date the same evening. Despite the awkwardness, they agree, and Jovenan comes to his quarters at 1900 hours. The date goes well, but it is cut short by a small incident in the HazMat Lab which Jovenan needs to go and inspect. Silveira escorts her to the turbolifts, and they kiss before departing.

Jovenan also talked with Captain MacKenzie in the arboretum of DS224. She also met Samantha Richards in the Brew Continuum on the Artemis, despite Jovenan not recognizing her first. Richards wanted to thank Jovenan for helping her during the events of the Frontier Day. They talked about those events, and Richards revealed she has a relationship with Dakora.

The awards ceremony was held in the Elysium. Jovenan received ribbons for the previous two missions as well as the Department Chief Ribbon. She talked with Lyara after the event.

Resolution’s Heritage

Resolution’s Heritage (Artemis)

Jovenan and Adea are summoned to the Captain's ready room, where they find MacKenzie and their old Commanding Officer, Commodore Kalianna Nicholotti. A team of Klingons who claim to be scientists have entered the Genesis Planet created by the USS Resolution, the ship where many of the older members of the crew (but not Jovenan) had served. In addition, a Da'al team has followed the Klingons there. Since the planet had been ruled no-flight zone by the Federation, the Artemis must investigate. While the others would contact the other factions, Jovenan and Adea are to study the planet, given the rare chance to visit it. Curious and sceptical of the motives of the Klingon team (and the Da'al), they arrive to the planet, finding the two other ship expecting them. They prepare to beam down.

Jovenan and her team, consisting of Adea, Savel and Gnai transport onto the planet, finding themselves in a small forest. However, they soon discover that there seem to be no animal life anywhere to be seen, only plants. Jovenan suspects it has to do with how difficult creating animals must have been for the designers of the Genesis device that created the planet as they see it now. Speculating there may be more to see on the spot where the device was activated, they move on and discuss if they'd be able to publish their scientific results. On the way there, Genkos thinks he saw one of the flowers move. They get closer and discover that, indeed, the flower turned away from whoever was watching it, until it burrowed down into the ground. Soon, they notice that other flowers in the area are doing the same and are moving away from them. When they look back, the clearing they had beamed down to has been overtaken by scrubs and other plants. Since the flowers seem to be heading towards the Ground Zero, the activation place of the Genesis device, they head there as well.

The direct way to Ground Zero is blocked by an impenetrable wall of trees. In addition, the team begins to notice several Niburian sunbushes in their vicinity. While investigating the wall and the bushes, a tremor causes Gnai to fall onto one of the bushes, which releases a large amount of pollen. According to Jovenan, the pollen is dangerous if inhaled in large amounts due to its capsaicin content and it being fine. However, Gnai is unharmed thanks to its suit. They start to think the plants may be intelligent and aggressive, and as more and more sunbushes appear, they try to flee. Eventually, they find a hole in the wall, with trees bending over, forming an inviting archway over it. On the other side, they find a barren terrain, and the plants don't follow them there.

There is a crater in the middle of the barren area, and by a ledge of the crater, they find a single tree. They don't recognize the species of the tree, nor do they understand how it can survive in the otherwise lifeless area. While approaching it, they accidentally discover a substance similar to sap or resin underground. It turns out there are structures like roots or vines all around them, under the ground, and they believe they may have similar functions as the nervous and circulatory systems. Adea, thanks to his Betazoid abilities, also finds out the tree has a mind. Gnai suggests that the tree may be the remnants of a Resolution crewmember, which initially angers Adea, but they don't dismiss the idea.

They try to find a method to communicate with the tree, without appearing hostile or harming it. Eventually, the tree appears to notice them, as Adea is suddenly in pain caused by a mental connection, and the tree begins to rise from the ground. The tree, having some humanoid features, manages to speak out, calling Adea by name. Adea identifies the person as Lieutenant Commander Iefyr Farrel, Resolution's CSO. However, they are promptly interrupted by an armed Suliban. The Suliban says he's there for the tree. Jovenan recognizes his weapon as a Klingon disruptor, causing her to question if there were any Klingons on the planet to begin with. She is angered by the Suliban possibly having hurt her friends who were meant to meet the Klingons. The Suliban, Maular, reacts to this by pointing his disruptor at Jovenan, insisting that the team helps him set up transporter enhancers around the tree, or he'd kill Jovenan. Jovenan is terrified but tries to keep the others and the tree safe. Gnai, apparently protecting Jovenan, agrees to set up the enhancers.

Luckily for the team, the Artemis managed to beam a team to charge in their assistance: MacKenzie, Nicholotti and the Da'al Colonel Evreste. They manage to subdue Maular, who surrenders. Jovenan's team explain their discovery to the leaders. MacKenzie sends everyone else away, but asks Jovenan and Adea to remain with her to assess what to do with the tree. They consider what might have caused Farrel to transform into the Tree, what role she had on the planet and if removing her is possible. They come into the conclusion that there is probably nothing they can do to return Farrel back the way she was, nor to take her with them. In the end, they decide that in order to protect the Tree and the life on the planet, they continue the flight restrictions and don't reveal the existence of the Tree, instead only stating that there is new life developing on the planet. The hiding of information, even if not explicitly lying, bothers Jovenan, but she decides to go with the plan.

After the next shoreleave, Jovenan received the Scientific Discovery Ribbon with Adea and Gnai.

Shoreleave 240203-240205

Shore leave: Risa (USS Artemis-A)

The Artemis spent the shore leave at Risa.

Immediately after returning to the Artemis from the planet, Jovenan went to her office. Silveira joins her there, saying that he had something to talk with her relating to the mission. The real reason for Silveira's was to check on her and to continue the interrupted date from the previous shoreleave. He had profiteroles with him, and the conversation quickly turns personal. Dodging the awkward conversation about the kiss, they instead talk about what had happened on the planet. Jovenan admits to having been scared when she had been held at gunpoint. Silveira tries to convince her that she was strong, but she gets ashamed of getting so emotional over it. Silveira walks around the desk, kneels in front of her and hugs her. Jovenan enjoys it but gets overwhelmed and stops it. Instead, she starts to talk about their relationship and admits, cryingly, that she loves him but is afraid of ruining their friendship if she pursued anything further. Silveira is afraid he might have pushed Jovenan too far, and also admits to loving her. Jovenan reveals that her hesitancy stems from fearing of losing him as a friend and the self-described feeling of being unable to reciprocate to the way other people loved. She expresses her wish that he would rather find someone who could love him back the way he did and make him happy. Silveira, however, remains clear about that he loved Jovenan, and they kiss. Silveira asks Jovenan to be his girlfriend, and she says yes. She collapses onto him to kiss him on the floor.

Later, Jovenan and Silveira were invited for a dinner by Sadar. The two decide not to tell about their relationship to their friend yet, in case Sadar has a personal reason to organize the dinner. Sadar is nervous, and the two try to make her feel comfortable. The dinner goes well and the food is good, but the two are unable to hide their feelings for each other. Sadar catches their unusual behavious and asks them about it. The two admit to having started dating. Sadar asks them to perform a Mizarian ritual for new couples with her, and they agree. They both tell that they want to love and protect each other.

Jovenan also welcomed Sam Richards to the crew. They discussed work, Richards pregnancy and Jovenan's relationship with Silveira. Jovenan joins the rest of the crew to say goodbye to Adea, who left the Artemis to become the XO on the USS Eagle.

The awards ceremony was held at a beach. After the ceremony, Jovenan and Silveira talk about his past, kiss and go for a walk along the shore.

Opposing Forces

Opposing Forces (Artemis)

Jovenan joins MacKenzie and the Artemis senior officers in a briefing of their next mission. On Galaris IV, the two sapient and warp-capable species, the Kobyar and the Grunden have been engaged in a long-lasting war. Recently, the both sides have accused the other of receiving outside assistance and have asked Starfleet to investigate. After discussing how to find out the truth, MacKenzie assigns Jovenan, Silveira, Richards, Lieutenant Ollie Bergmen and Ensign Imril to accompany her to the Kobyar capital, while the rest visits the Grunden. Jovenan's team beams down to Xal-Kor’Za, the highly advanced, sleek and monitored Kobyar capital, where they meet Major Indeethl Oolwi of the Kobyar Defence Service Public Affairs Office. Oolwi appears genuine, responding to all their questions openly, although the Starfleet officers are somewhat hesitant to trust the Kobyar, especially after registering their biometric data to the government systems. However, as the mission is both investigative and diplomatic, Jovenan and the others try to form relations with their hosts while also asking questions relating to the war and the technology at their disposal.

Oolwi takes the team to the goverment main building, where they've been prepared a suite for their use while on the planet. They are considering between starting the investigation in full force or trying to enhance the Kobyar government's trust in them by participating in a cultural event. Oolwi permits them to study the Kobyar technology, helping them avoid the "unblinking eye" of the Kobyar intelligence. Having done so, she reveals them information about the most recent brutalities, going past her superiors. After studying the Kobyar drones together, MacKenzie splits up the team. Silveira, Imril and Richards stay in the suite to study the tactical drones, while MacKenzie, Jovenan and Bergmen are to go to the frontlines with Oolwi.

The three officers and the Kobyar liaison arrive to the silent and supposedly peaceful frontline area with a Kobyar aircraft. They study the area, finding several destroyed Grunden vehicles but nothing to indicate outside interference. Their work is interrupted, when a number of drones start bombarding their location. They take shelter under one of the destroyed vehicles. Oolwi is unable to call off the attack, saying that the drones must be from the Grand Marshall's questionable attack against the Grunden. The aircraft comes to pick them up amidst the bombing, and all of them manage to get away. While being chased by the drones, they open fire against their pursuers. Jovenan tries to hit them with her phaser. Seeing that the drones are also attacking a location of the Grunden side of the border where the other Starfleet team is, MacKenzie decides that they'll fly there to save them.

Personal life

Personality

Look Nan, I have seen you grow in the face of adversity. And grow in the right direction.

“

”

—Vitor Silveira

Jovenan is generally shy, although she has grown bolder over the time in Starfleet. Her bad experiences after moving out of her homeworld made her avoid touching other people and being too close with anyone, easily blaming herself of violating others’ personal area. In the Academy and her early years in service, Jovenan was skittish about senior officers. Her “fear” of them diminished as she become more familiar with the crew and rose in ranks. Eventually, she became close with many senior officers, and the apprehension and excessive formality have largely vanished.

She enjoys running. She has taken a habit of going for a run in the ship’s Fitness Centre, although she would prefer runs or longer treks in nature. The limited space on the ship and social expectations prevent her from running everywhere, which she prefers over constant walking. This sometimes makes her feel confined.

For cultural and health reasons, Jovenan typically eats vegan food. She isn’t opposed to eating meat or other animal-based food but won’t do so without a reason.

Having grown up with strict Edo law, which at the time required death penalty for all crimes, Jovenan has had difficulty in adjusting to the more relaxed moral code. She has poor tolerance of misbehaviour and may sometimes mentally judge people for their missteps from the legal codes. Still, she can also be not as black-and-white as she was raised to be, understanding that some actions might be necessary even if not strictly within the letter of the law. She is particularly strict on herself.

Jovenan is a follower of the Edo religion. Since the Edo God is a physical, albeit transdimensional, entity, she and the most Edo consider them a part of the reality and not as much something that needs to be believed in. Jovenan has a religious symbol in her quarters, and she prays occasionally. She, however, does not believe in spirits of the dead or other spiritual teachings of her culture.

She speaks Somian, one of the Rubicun Edo languages/dialects spoken in her home region. Thanks to the University and Academy language courses, she can also speak decent Federation Standard and some Betazoid. Her other language skills are minimal.

Style

While on service, Jovenan typically wears the skant variant of the Artemis standard sciences division uniform. She opted to wear the skant variant due to comfort and familiarity to the Edo clothing, despite having suppressed her Edo habits in public. If needed in cooler environments, she also has the basic version of the uniform, in addition to the thermal layers provided by Doctor Adea when she first joined the Excalibur. She sometimes wears her hair tied in a ponytail or similar style with a blue hair tie.

During off-hours when alone, she prefers to don more typical Edo clothes, such as her light pink romper. She has no problem wearing such revealing clothes when alone or with other Edo, but never wears them with off-worlders due to their reactions. When in civilian clothes with off-worlders, she usually wears typical Earth clothes, such as trousers, t-shirts and skirts.

She had an Edo Community leader’s necklace, which she received from her family. She often wore it under the uniform turtleneck. She had to destroy it on a mission to the past.

Quarters

Jovenan’s quarters are located on Deck 3, Sector 03, Compartment 17. She had lived in shared quarters on a lower deck while an Ensign, although the second berth had happened to be empty for the entire duration. After being promoted to Lieutenant JG, she moved to the upper deck with senior officers, to her own quarters.

As of yet, she doesn’t have many items to decorate her room with. She has some flowers, an Edo religious symbol and books around the room. Vitor Silveira gifted her a doll resembling him, which she keeps in her quarters, typically on the bedside table. She sometimes listens to Edo music in the privacy of her quarters.

Relationships

---

Family
	Jarer and Saven Caring parents, different ideals	Jovenan’s parents love and support her very much, even if they don’t always understand her. Jovenan: I was… I didn’t always fit in. I love my family and my home, and they love and care about me, but I didn’t always have the same… mindset about everything. They respected it, but I still felt an outsider.
	1 full brother, 3 maternal half-siblings, 4 paternal half-siblings	Supportive older siblings. Lovable little scoundrels for younger siblings.
	Several other communal parents and siblings	Being raised communally, Jovenan considers many of the older adults in her community her parents and kids her age her siblings.
	Jovenan Twin sister I hardly knew	Jovenans’ meeting was very unexpected and initially unfriendly. Alternate universe Jovenan ended up in the same universe with Jovenan by coincidence and appeared schemy and suspicious to her. However, after alternate Jovenan lost her life to save the Artemis, Jovenan began to regard her as her sister.
Boyfriend
	Vitor Silveira Friend? Best friend! And more!	Vitor was there for Jovenan from the beginning. The shared adventures, dangers and losses brought them together, and they became protective of each other. Their friendship was full of hidden feelings that wanted to burst into the view, leading to questions and doubts. Until one day, they decided to leave that behind them and be whatever they wanted to be to each other, and that was being a couple. Jovenan: Vitor, I don’t know… I… There were things I needed to say, that we needed to talk about. The things that we said to each other, about our feelings, and the stupid thing I said about being just a replacement to the other Jovenan. But every time we’ve met, I’ve been afraid we’d say those things again and that it would destroy our friendship. Silveira: No… Nan please… You shouldn’t be afraid to say anything to me… Please… Sorry Nan but that won’t happen, our friendship is solid and… I am sorry Nan… Jovenan: [::wipes off tear::] Now I fear I’ve ruined it anyway, because I think I’ve started to love you. Jovenan: You deserve someone else. Someone who can respond to your feelings and who doesn’t cry when they really want to do is kiss you. ::nervous laughter, raises eyes to him:: I just want you to be happy. Silveira: That is just what I want for you… To make you happy… I love you Nan… Jovenan: [::hugs::] Can I say it again? I love you, Vitor Emotional Chaos Wreck Stone Silveira. Silveira: That’s a mouth full but I’ll take it. ::Again he held her tightly and almost felt her heart beating next to his. Again he whispered next to her ear.:: I love you…
Friends
	Talos Dakora Action hero with a soft side	When Jovenan first met him, she wary of him. After a partially failed covert mission Jovenan had gotten herself into, Dakora came to their rescue. Jovenan noticed that he wasn’t the dangerous spy charicature after all. The events following them meeting their alternate universe counterparts lead them to become closer. Jovenan: I mean it. When I first joined the Excalibur, I was terrified of everyone. You in particular. I didn’t know you or what you do, and to me you seemed like a secretive, tough spy who could read my thoughts. But over time, I’ve got to know you more, and I’m not scared of you anymore. ::looks at him:: When I said you’re a good person, I meant it. Dakora: You, of course, have been a positive ray of sunshine the entire time I’ve known you. ::He placed a hand on her on her shoulder and chuckled.:: Though, I’m embarrassed to admit that I was a little worried you and I might not get along because I like to occasionally play a bit fast-and-loose with the rules. ::He waved his other hand dismissively.:: Figured you'd soon be calling for my execution or something ridiculous like that.
	Gila Sadar More capable than she believes	Doctor Sadar might not be the bravest or boldest individual, but Jovenan has quickly learnt she can always trust her skills and integrity in every situation. The multitude of missions together and shared friendships have brought the two to join forces often. Sadar: Th-That’s okay. I-I’ve been working, so… Rain check? Jovenan: Oh, I didn’t know you two already had plans. Well, good luck for your date when you get there! Silveira: Why don’t we make it a threesome? CloQ: You’re getting so close, but excuse me amoment. I want to go back and watch ::they pointed at Silveira:: this guy getting stabbed again. ::a pause:: I’m adding it to my highlight reel, it’s right up there with the fall of Romulus, the Napoleonic wars and ::they pointed to Sadar:: your violent death. Jovenan: ::puts arm around Sadar:: Don’t listen to them, they always lie.
Valued colleagues
	Addison MacKenzie Skilled but scary	Jovenan appreciates highly her first XO’s and later CO’s skill and dedication. Despite this and the fact that she considers most of the senior officers her friends, Jovenan and MacKenzie haven’t become close. Jovenan is still quite intimidated by her, which is not helped by the fact that the Captain once made her cry when giving a reprimand to her for putting a team in risk she couldn’t have known about. Jovenan: Th- Thank you for your confidence, sir. I’ll try to live up your expectations. MacKenzie: Expectations, perhaps not. More like, possibility. I will say that you’ve demonstrated critical thinking and good judgment in your time here so far. That counts for a lot in my book. MacKenzie: You’ll be responsible for overseeing his recovery and that of Crewman Renirs. You’ll also be responsible for collecting the information from the Bajorans about whatever they uncover in that cave. Jovenan: Aye, Captain. MacKenzie: Consider yourself lucky none of them died. Jovenan: ::wavering:: Aye, Captain.
	Gnai Much potential in a small tank	Although their first meeting on Romulus on a Q-created timeline was far from typical, Jovenan has been more than pleased with the other science officer's abilities. Rarely on the same team during missions, Gnai has demonstrated its skills on though spots on shoreleaves as well.
	Sam Richards Like me, but with more Borg-punching and Edo-like life choices	The reckless nature of the fellow planetary scientist has left Jovenan confused if she should admire, scold or protect her. After their first meeting on a Borg Cube, Richards transferred to the Artemis and started a family with Dakora.
Old friends
	Hiro Jones Space brother	Hiro joined the Excalibur soon after Jovenan, and they have served until his transfer to the Ronin. Finding Hiro easy to approach, Jovenan has spent much time with him, including freejumping across empty space and watching stars in the Astrometrics. During one emotional discussion, Jovenan admitted viewing the crew as family and called Hiro her brother, a title he was happy to receive. She was saddened when he left to another ship. Jones: Jovenan, listen very carefully. One: You never ever have to apologize for being your genuine self with me. I will never judge you for it, hold it against you, or think any less of you for it. I will always be someone with whom you can be free and honest, ok? That's a promise. Two: I never had any siblings. I didn't really even have many friends until fairly recently. I'm thrilled to be called your friend, and it is the highest honor I can think to be called your brother. Jones: Hey, I promise you: I will keep in touch. You’re going to hear from me all the time. I love you, sis. A few lightyears between us isn’t changing that. Jovenan: And you better tell Commander Niac I don’t appreciate him stealing my brother. Jones: ::a choked giggle:: I don’t want to terrify my new CO right off the bat.
	Genkos Adea Early role model	Not only was Adea Jovenan’s CMO on the Excalibur and the Artemis, he was her Academy final training officer. This made him the first approachable officer after assignment. Since then, they were on missions together multiple times, including Jovenan having him shot after running a sword through Lt Silveira, and her rescuing him from the closet. Him bringing her to visit his home town helped her to get to know him better. Adea: You want to know everything there is to know about Genkos, eh? ::he chortled:: Well, I’m not going to tell you everything I’ve ever done - we don’t have enough time, and there’s several past girlfriends, and at least one boyfriend who wouldn’t be best pleased. Elain: You call each other “Lieutenant” and “Doctor”? Adea: Jovenan and I are merely colleagues, Tevet. She came along as moral support. Although ::he slid a grin at Jovenan:: I think I have told her a few times to call me Genkos.
	Kawarda Valued colleague, great supporter	Jovenan and Kawarda both served as science officers on Artemis, and Excalibur before that. Kawarda has come in her rescue in more than one occasion, and she values greatly his work and support. Kawarda: Ensign Jovenan, you did a good job. You should be proud of yourself. ::a pause to consider:: Would ... you like a hug?
	Luxa Lorana The wild scientist	They first met when Luxa charged to a fight, roaring. Later Jovenan rescued her unconscious body from a cliffside ledge after she had tried to do that again.
Former colleagues
	Kali Nicholotti You will always remember your first captain	Nicholotti became Jovenan’s first CO when she was assigned to the Excalibur. Even though they have only met a few time, Jovenan holds her in great respect. Nicholotti: =/\= Well, you've done great getting us this far, Ensign. Thank you. =/\=
	Karrod Niac He took me out once… no, not like that	Jovenan and Niac’s service together on the Excalibur was brief but eventful. Niac brougth Jovenan and other ensigns to a spacewalk that ended up with them having to jump across empty space.
	Jaseb Chevalier Can’t look at without feeling guilt	Jovenan actually met his alternate universe counterpart’s dead body before him. It was long after that when the two worked together for the first time, and it lead to a disaster. Jovenan had to pull his body and severed leg out of a cave to save him. Because Jovenan was leading the mission, she blames herself for what happened to him.
	Salkath There is logic behind even the most questionable actions	When Jovenan had first tried to introduced herself to Salkath, he had suggested they try to access Fleet Formation files without permission. Jovenan obviously declined, but as she later found out, Salkath’s methods would have likely saved a large number of lives. They later apologised to each other and started over.
