Lael was born two minutes before her twin brother Kellan on Stardate 236610.24 to Adelynn Rosek in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedar_Springs,_Michigan Cedar Springs, Michigan]. She never met her father and, due to her mother's silence, knew very little about him. From a young age, Lael showed a talent for mathematics and science, her curious nature leading her to a passion for taking things apart to see how they worked. She spent much of her younger years in fields, studying the local wildlife, even to the point of keeping a nature journal. This love of nature extended to the stars. Lael would often spend summer nights with her brother in her backyard studying them through a telescope. She would visit the nearby [http://www.muskegoncc.edu/mathphysical-sciences/carr-fles-planetarium/ Carr-Fles Planetarium] whenever she could. | Lael was born two minutes before her twin brother Kellan on Stardate 236610.24 to Adelynn Rosek in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedar_Springs,_Michigan Cedar Springs, Michigan].

At age 5, Lael joined her school's Daisy Girl Scout Troop and learned the importance of doing for others. It was also at this age that she first began taking [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_jiu-jitsu jiu-jitsu] lessons to combat bullying at school. Though she was bullied in her younger years because her {{n|Al-Leyan}} heritage, her easy-going and compassionate nature won her many friends. She loved to sing and participated in her school's choir. By age 12, Lael's confidence blossomed and she joined her school's Student Leadership Club (SLC). Her passion for active pursuits led her to join her school's cross country team in 6th grade. | At age 5, Lael joined her school's Daisy Girl Scout Troop and learned the importance of doing for others.

Though Lael had always been keenly aware of her father's absence from her life, it hit hardest around the tender age of 9 when all of her friends were attending Father-Daughter dances and she was the only one who didn't have a father to go with. One particular year at age 11, she tried to talk her mother into contacting her father to see if he'd be willing to go with her. When her mother refused, Lael was disappointed and conceded that she'd ask her Uncle Thomas to take her. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-astraeus/dYjOst5yiQU/S7BIZ9hBAAAJ| Introspection]</ref> | |||
By age 12, Lael's confidence blossomed and she joined her school's Student Leadership Club (SLC). Her passion for active pursuits led her to join her school's cross country team in 6th grade. Her best friend was a boy named Nicholas Swett, who she remained close with throughout elementary and middle school. He was her first kiss at the tender age of seven. She’d dropped her sandwich at lunch wrestling with a boy named Blake Thomas for pulling her hair. She’d cried at first until Nicholas presented her with half of his and she'd pecked him on the lips to thank him. | |||

* '''{{n|Orson Marshall}}''': The two met during Lael's Engineering internship aboard [[Starbase 118]]. After a fight with a Klingon who'd spilled her drink and refused to pay for it, she shared her victory drinks with Bear. Both single and unattached, they engaged in a flirtation that turned into what Lael intended to be a one night stand. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-montreal/WWkhd0Xg4os/5KmwH8CFBgAJ| Scars]] </ref> But the chemistry between them was undeniable and the two kept in touch, meeting up when time allowed, resulting in a series of one night stands. Ironically, the two had a good deal in common and became good friends. | |||

Once she arrived on the bridge, she took her place at Commander [[Mei’konda]]’s side. Not long after she sat down, Lieutenant [[German Galven]] detected a temporal rift.

Once the comm was cut, he ordered helmsman Ensign [[Mesda Chatva|Chatva]] to move them toward the ''Veritas''. Once they were in range, Lieutenant [[German Galven|Galven]] and Ensign [[Esbrun Vardai]] began to work on closing the rift. | Once she arrived on the bridge, she took her place at Commander [[Mei’konda]]’s side.

With that done, the crew then turned their attention to locating the Tholian ships. Ensign [[Esbrun Vardai|Vardai]] reported three Meshweaver class frigates. Not long after they'd visually confirmed the presence of the ships, Tholian Commander Taroka hailed the ''Montreal'' and demanded their immediate surrender. When Commander [[Mei'konda]] didn't comply with the Tholian Commander's demand, the Tholian vessel opened fire, forcing the ''Montreal'' to defend themselves. | With that done, the crew then turned their attention to locating the Tholian ships.

Both Lieutenant [[German Galven|Galven]] and Ensign [[Esbrun Vardai|Vardai]] had possible options for disabling the ships. After weighing the risks of both plans, Commander [[Mei'konda]] ordered them to proceed with Ensign [[Esbrun Vardai|Vardai]]'s plan to use a reverse tractor beam to set off the [[Tholian]]s' torpedos, therefore disabling both ships. In the end, the ship closest to them was destroyed and the second ship was disabled. The battle won, the ''Montreal'' rejoined the ''Veritas''. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-montreal/NgR_8KQ8xnA/OIUVJJMkBgAJ| Not The Ending I Would Have Preferred]</ref> | ||

After Captain [[Mei'konda]]'s promotion ceremony, the crew settled into a new routine aboard their new ship, the {{USS|Astraeus}}. The vessel began its maiden voyage on stardate 239607.02, launching from the station in orbit of Cait. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-astraeus/y7ZAbx18gYc/5bogg-uRCgAJ| Almost Unbearable Excitement]</ref> Their first mission serving on the new vessel began with a request from the Bajoran government. The ''Astraeus'' crew was provided a list of names whom the Bajoran government claimed had been missing since the Occupation of Bajor. It was the assertion of the Bajoran government that these individuals had been taken and had not been returned to their homes following the war. The ''Astraeus'' crew would be part of the investigation and the talks in seeing these individuals returned. As part of their arrival at Deep Space Nine in orbit of Bajor, they'd be taking on new personnel and during the briefing, Captain [[Mei'konda]] tasked her with seeing to the crew transfers. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-astraeus/TIY9E59bo-k/-rlSZnKsCwAJ| The Proof Is In The Records, Part I]</ref> | |||
When they arrived in orbit of Bajor, they discovered a mysterious buoy containing numerous Cardassian records that they hadn't detected prior to arriving in the system. Some of the senior staff had their suspicions regarding its origin, but Captain [[Mei'konda]] had it beamed aboard for careful examination by the Engineering, Science, and Security departments. Meanwhile, Lael along with Captain [[Mei'konda]] and Lieutenant [[Riley Delar]], the ''Astraeus''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s mission specialist were to meet up with Bajoran minister Dalen Martov. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-astraeus/uNXVVPi2Lps/z2r2GPRpDgAJ| No Way We Got That Lucky]</ref> | |||
