	Chronological History

236206.13 - Kayla's parents meet Nestled in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York, Earth is a lake of middling size called Cascade Lake. The natural beauty is what drew Leanna Marsh to this remote region. For Gulliver Drex, it was a chance to get away from the rigors of academia. He had booked a "retreat to the past" at one of the small inns that bordered the lake, but soon found that for all his brilliance when it came to quantum physics, the nature of temporal entanglement, or the relationship of graviton pulses of black holes and their effects on wormhole stability, he was not exactly the "outdoorsy" type. Dr. Drex decided to take advantage of one of the classes offered at the resort: a painting class. The class instructor was a gorgeous young woman named Leanna. They were married the next autumn, and bought a house on the lake where they met.

2372-2385 - Childhood Over the next ten years, their family grew. The couple had four boys and one girl: Kayla. As a child, Kayla had a knack for turning up in impossible places - on the roof, inside the antique grandfather clock in the hall, or in the back room of the local transport station. Whenever questioned about what she was doing there, her answer would always be, "Figuring stuff out." Her childhood was a very happy time, as her parents were constantly supportive of her becoming the individual she was meant to be, and her brothers always looking out for her.

When she was 13 years old, Kayla was at the lake with a friend. This friend had a different afternoon in mind than Kayla did, and tried making inappropriate advances toward her. Michael, one of Kayla's brothers, was nearby and heard a commotion. Sensing his little sister was in trouble, he dropped his fishing rod and ran to aid her. By the time he arrived though, Kayla had not only diffused the situation, but actually turned it completely around. The scene Michael saw as he breached the treeline was his (relatively short) sister standing with her foot on the neck of a boy who clutched his ribs (3 broken it was later discovered) and blood streaming from his nose as she growled down at him, "I. said. no."

2385-2389 - High school In high school, Kayla frustrated her teachers by asking questions that challenged their understanding of the subjects they taught. Her AP Stellar Cartography teacher put a note in her permanent record commenting that Kayla was, "constantly making additions to her maps that were not known astral phenomena." When her father reviewed her homework however, he saw the graceful curves as what they were: visual representations of quantum entanglement of dark matter. Kayla remembers her father laughing to himself and saying, "She already knows more than them," smiling at her, then making her favorite dinner: pizza. She graduated valedictorian from her high school, and it seemed she could go to any institute of higher learning she desired. Kayla chose Starfleet.

239108.08-239510.31 - Starfleet Academy Starfleet Academy was like living in a dream for Kayla. Every professor, every class, every cadet challenged her in new and interesting ways, and Kayla rose time and again to the challenge. Double majoring in Physics and Stellar Cartography, Kayla worked tirelessly maintaining a near-perfect GPA. The one less-than-perfect grade she received was a B in SURV110 (Environmental Suits and Zero-G Training). She really did not like the feeling of not knowing where "down" was. In spite of her rigorous study, Kayla managed to make a few good friends at the Academy. She didn't date while enrolled, opting to focus solely on studies and friendships.
