===='''''TRANSFER TO THE VERITAS'''''====
===Assessment: Captain [[Roshanara Rahman]]===


Lael, Chythar, Alex, and Dassa all shared quarters on the Runabout ''Yahtzee'' enroute to [[Antor II]], where the ''Veritas'' sat in orbit awaiting their arrival. {{n|Anjar Thoran}} and {{n|Greywin Fergus}} had taken {{n|Madeline Young}}, Lael's ward, ahead along with Liara (Anjar's daughter) to get settled in while the four friends had waited for medical clearance to travel. Alex took the opportunity to clear the air with both Chythar and Lael respectively. The four friends relaxed and talked, enjoying each other's company for a short time before each went off to their own respective space. Shortly before landing, Lael goes to the runabout's mess for a cup of tea, unable to sleep. Chythar joins her and she wishes him a happy birthday, then gives him his gift: a video of Maddy presenting her science project for him. She reveals that the video played a big part of her decision to bring Maddy to the {{USS|Veritas}} with them.

|quote=Antor II is a mess. Tragic earthquakes caused by subspace rifts have rocked the planet, leaving a portion of the planet's domes uninhabitable. This has resulted in overcrowding and has led to violence on the planet's surface. Two bombings have taken the lives of many and has left many more in serious condition. Teams are still searching through the rubble for survivors. I've been assigned to work with Commander Blair and Lieutenant Commander Walker, our task: to rebuild the domes that housed the planet's population. We've come to the conclusion that once temporary housing has been established, it would be more efficient to come up with a design that would better withstand any future natural disasters.

Lael, Alex, Chythar and Dassa arrived on the planet, stunned to find the colony decimated by earthquakes. They later found themselves in Captain [[Roshanara Rahman]]'s ready room checking in. During this meeting, Captain [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] revealed that only 60% of the planets dome environments were sustainable and that the damage caused by the earthquakes was leading to overcrowding in the major population centers such as New Macau. They are interrupted by a call from the bridge. When they stepped out of the ready room and in front of the main viewer, they realized that an attack had happened. Buildings on the screen were up in flames. The Captain then ordered Alex and Lael to report to their posts in Engineering to begin working with Lieutenant Commander [[Luna Walker|Walker]]. The name rang a bell for Lael, though she couldn't figure out why. She and Alex stepped onto the turbolift and headed for Engineering. <!--A Fresh Start, Parts I-III-->

She succeeded, but [[Hanar Tuk|Tuk]] was shot in the process. She narrowly avoided being knocked over as he tumbled backwards. Stepping out of the way, she poked her head around the corner to fire off answering shots before returning to her cover. About this time, [[Kelrod]] arrived with a flashbang grenade and heavier artillery. [[Kelrod]] unleashed the grenade and the four managed to take out the remaining intruders. Once they were certain the area had been cleared, they headed to the auditorium to aid in the protection of the Governor. When they arrived, they found [[Rune Jolara|Jolara]] and [[Chythar Skyfire|Skyfire]] already taking measures to prepare for an attack. Once it was ascertained that the Governor and the civilians were safe, [[Hanar Tuk|Tuk]] and Lael were both treated for their injuries. Lael then connected with a computer console, confirming that all of the intruders had been confined to the brig. With [[Mei'konda]] on his way to the bridge, Lael joined the others to keep the civilians calm in case the scans were wrong.

At a somewhat formal dinner in [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]]'s quarters the night after, Lael was awarded the [[Silver Star]] for her part in halting the intruders who boarded the ship and the [[Joint Meritorious Unit Award]] for her part in working with [[Antor II]]'s government during the crisis. She also received the [[UFP Medal of Freedom]] for stopping [[Jilor]]'s forces. Once the awards and promotions had been handed out, she sought out Rahman, engaging her in conversation that got more personal than she'd anticipated, the topic shifting to her newfound abilities. The two wrapped up the conversation and Lael, seeing that Chythar and Alex had left, headed back to her quarters.

[[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] called a briefing in Sickbay for Lael's team ([[Sky Blake|Blake]]; [[Hanar Tuk|Tuk]]; [[Sepek]]; [[Nikki Ryan|Ryan]]), where Lael learned that mass quantities of a highly addictive drug called [[Medicines_Database#Felicium|felicium]] had been discovered aboard [[Outpost 3]], an abandoned station along the [[Mother Road]] while the station was being repaired. Commander [[Sky Blake|Blake]] and Lieutenant Commander [[Nikki Ryan|Ryan]] were assigned the task of analyzing the batches in hopes of discovering their origin. The rest of the team beamed over to the Outpost, where they were greeted by Lieutenant Commander [[Tristam Core]], the Engineer in charge of repairs. [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] instructed Lael to help Core with repairs while the others went to investigate the damage caused by the Klingon attack on the station.

The next evening, she was in the Officer's Mess relaxing with another mug of her favorite tea when Chythar came in and ordered food. They talked briefly about the Prospero shuttle project before they were interrupted by Ensign Slater's arrival. There were then a few brief exchanges before Chythar excused himself to feed Devlin, get Alex his dinner, and get back to work, leaving Lael and Slater to talk.

Later that evening after spending time with Chythar and Maddy on the beach in the holodeck, Jon surprised her by coming to her quarters, asking to talk. They began the awkward conversation regarding the pink elephant in the room. Lael didn't forgive him right away, but was able to hold an honest conversation with him about her feelings. They began their mending of trust with some quiet time alone together and dinner. Lael sought Chythar out the next day to tell him about Jon stopping by her quarters to apologize.

While working out in the gym with Anjar, the two bumped into Sepek and engaged in a bit of light conversation. She was later recruited for the ''Ferdinand'' crew, pitting her against the two shuttle teams for the second trial of the shuttle races.

Knowing that Chythar was still upset over Alex and in an attempt to soothe her own feelings, she took him to the holodeck and shared one of her childhood happy places with him ([http://www.muskegoncc.edu/mathphysical-sciences/carr-fles-planetarium/ Carr-Fles Planetarium] on the Muskegon Community College campus near her hometown of Cedar Springs). The two shared a bottle of brandy and stared up at the stars, talking. Alex was mentioned briefly, but Lael quickly changed the topic when they both started getting upset. Instead, she goaded him into going to the senior staff party in the Officer's Mess as her date, joking that he might actually get to dance with her to real music with Jansen being there to steal her away.

====='''''Senior Staff Party'''''=====
 
Still upset over Alex's unexpected departure, Lael attended the party in the Officer's Mess reluctantly and spent the first part of the evening at Chythar's side. the staff then gathered for the awards part of the evening and the entire crew was awarded the Extended Service Ribbon for their time serving in the Shoals. [[Evan Delano|Evan]] was then called forward and Lael knew what was inside the box [[Mei'konda]] retrieved. She felt envy and a touch of jealousy as he was reinstated as a Lieutenant Commander.
 
Following [[Evan Delano|Evan]]'s promotion, [[Mei'konda]] announced the ''Prospero'' ([[Chythar Skyfire|Chythar]]'s team)) as the winners of the shuttle trials. [[Mei'konda]], [[Stiftany Harik|Harik]], [[Alex Blair|Alex]], [[Chythar Skyfire|Chythar]], [[Kelrod]], [[Dallas Wolfe|Wolfe]], [[Luna Walker|Walker]], and [[Evan Delano|Evan]] were then awarded the Innovation Ribbon. [[Chythar Skyfire|Chythar]] and the rest of the ''Prospero'' team were also awarded the Captain's Commendation. 
 
But the ceremony wasn't over yet. As [[Mei'konda]] retrieved another box, Lael was shocked when Rahman called her forward. She moved to join [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]], standing frozen as [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] pinned a third pip to her collar. The ceremony done, Lael and [[Chythar Skyfire|Chythar]] then moved to congratulate [[Evan Delano|Evan]] with the intention of leaving afterward.
 
After a bit of small talk and a toast, Lael spotted [[Raissa Moonsong|Raissa]] across the room. Politely concluding the conversation with [[Evan Delano|Evan]] and [[Mei'konda]], she steered [[Chythar Skyfire|Chythar]] in [[Raissa Moonsong|Raissa]]'s direction in hopes of breaking the tension between them. But she only succeeded at making things worse, [[Raissa Moonsong|Raissa]] cutting the conversation short, leaving Lael confused and frustrated.

As the Veritas arrived to help the Astraeus, however, they came under attack and Acting Captain [[Mei'konda]] ordered Security, Engineering, and Medical to prepare teams. Commander [[Kelrod]]'s team was already in place, attempting to repel the boarding parties. The other teams eventually beamed over to the other vessel into the Engineering section to find many wounded being treated by the ship's CMO, Doctor [[Rajan]].

After Luna returned, Lael left for Sickbay for a check-up only to find Chythar already there being assessed by Dassa. As it turned out, Dassa was in a particularly irritable mood. She chastised Chythar for being reckless and getting shot. Somewhere during the conversation, Dassa revealed that she hadn't gotten her birth control injection before going to Betazed to see Tobian like she'd been supposed. A scan confirmed that she was, in fact, pregnant.

With her AAR completed, Lael reported to the Captain's Ready Room to give it to [[Mei'konda]] in person. The conversation eventually turned to command and their goals for the future. Lael revealed that she'd been eyeing the Assistant Chief spot and [[Mei'konda]] encouraged her to talk to [[Luna Walker|Luna]] about it.

Lael checked in with Chythar after Sickbay, partly to not be alone and partly out of concern for him and his injury. After pestering him to make sure that he'd eaten, she sat down next to him on the couch and they talked, Lael expressing her guilt that he and Jon had gotten shot on her watch. She came to the realization that in their line of work, him being in danger was just a reality she was going to have to learn to deal with. She then invited him to join her and Maddy for dinner, an invitation that he accepted. After feeding Devlin, the two went to Lael's quarters.

With the Captain's Mess seriously damaged during the firefight with Jilor's ships, Lael along with [[Alex Blair|Blair]], [[Evan Delano|Delano]], [[Luna Walker|Walker]], and Chief [[Lunat Drys|Drys]] meet up to plan a surprise makeover of the Captain's space. They talk about different options that will make the space functional and practical for multiple purposes. Lael suggested some more personal touches, such as painting the walls and a shelving unit to display artifacts. They also discussed a means for temporarily moving elements such as the table near the sitting area so that they weren't destroying it completely and it could be easily brought back into the space when needed. With all of the suggestions and ideas talked out, they got to work investigating ways to bring the designs to life.

Searching for a cup of her favorite tea, Lael entered the Officer's Lounge and was surprised to find [[Raissa Moonsong|Raissa]] there alone. She took advantage of the opportunity, taking a seat with the older woman, determined to figure out what exactly was causing the tension between them and how she could convince [[Raissa Moonsong|Raissa]] to hold a conversation with [[Chythar Skyfire|Chythar]]. At first, no matter what Lael said, [[Raissa Moonsong|Raissa]] seemed intent on countering it. But by the end of the conversation, Lael had earned the beginnings of trust from [[Raissa Moonsong|Raissa]]. She then wrapped up their conversation to continue working on the Captain's Mess project with [[Evan Delano|Delano]].
 
====='''''Another Day, Another Opponent'''''=====
 
While working out in the gym, Lael's fighting technique captured the attention of a new officer on board Ensign [[Marcus Wrader|Wrader]]. She approached him to welcome him aboard and the two got into a conversation about different martial arts styles. Intrigued, Lael challenged him to a sparring session. She was able to get a few well-placed strikes in, but was surprised by a particularly aggressive combination that had her flat on the mat. The moves impressed her and she asked him to teach it to her. They spent the rest of the session with him breaking down the combination and allowing her to practice it.  Following their sparring match, the two met up in the lounge to talk and get to know each other.
 
====='''''Trying Hard To Be Sneaky'''''=====
 
The day after her sparring match with [[Marcus Wrader|Wrader]], Lael ran into [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] in the ship's library and decided to do a little subtle investigating. She mentions the hideaway design that she and the others had been considering for the table under the guise of installing a hideaway bed in Maddy's room. She then asked [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]]'s opinion on the invention. However, concerned that [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] might be getting suspicious, Lael quickly redirected the conversation. After a few more moments of talking, she excused herself and went back to work on her project.
 
====='''''As Though From A Dream'''''=====
 
Insatiably curious, Lael found herself contacting [[Toryn Raga|Toryn Raga]], the man her father tried to set her up with, despite her better judgement. To her surprise, the two connected almost immediately despite the physical distance between them and had what was ultimately a very emotional conversation. This caused her to question her feelings for Jon and created tension between them.

The two talked about Lael's reasons for wanting the position as well as some of the realities that came along with it. Their conversation ended with Luna saying she'd talk to Captain [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] about making it official.

When all of the awards had been presented, Lael proposed that she, [[Chythar Skyfire|Chythar]], [[Alex Blair|Alex]], and [[Dassa Alexander|Dassa]] retire to her quarters for a nightcap or two.

Lael attended [[Evan Delano|Evan]] and [[Mei'konda]]'s wedding with Jon as her date. She did her best to hide the uncertainty caused by her last conversation with [[Toryn Raga|Toryn]], but Jon seemed to guess that she was hiding something and this created a lot of tension between them. At one point in the evening when Lael asked [[Alex Blair|Alex]] to dance as an excuse to seek his advice about the situation with [[Toryn Raga|Toryn]], Jon became jealous. This led to a disagreement between Lael and Jon. Though they eventually changed the topic and brushed the angry feelings aside, they didn't resolve the real reason for the disagreement and their relationship remained tense.

|quote=We've arrived at the coordinates [[Kallo Ver]] gave us, a ship graveyard of sorts for the wreckage of what we've determined to be a fleet of 23rd century Romulan warbirds. I have to admit this discovery has piqued my curiosity. Captain [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] has ordered two away teams--one per intact vessel--to investigate. In the mean time, I've been asked to help monitor their progress from the bridge. I've left Lieutenant Thoran temporarily in charge of Engineering while I'm away.

While Lael was working in Engineering [[Alex Blair|Alex]] came in and she noticed from his concerned expression that something was bothering him, but couldn't tell exactly what it was. After a little more beating around the bush, [[Alex Blair|Alex]] revealed the reason for his visit: recent sensor readings showed an explosion between the ''Veritas'' and the [[Star Station Esperance]], where they were currently docked. Unable to get detailed sensor readings, she suggested they check in with the bridge, which Luna did.
 
Later, with the away teams off exploring the shipwreck they'd been directed to by [[Kallo Ver]], Lael was asked to join [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] on the bridge to monitor the teams' progress and to clean up the sensor readings so they could better track the teams' locations in the wreckage.
 
Meanwhile down in Engineering, [[Anjar Thoran]] detected a slight variance in the anti-matter ratio that he cited as 'concerning'. Lael told him to keep a close eye on it and closed the conn. [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] then asked Lael to join her for a conversation with [[Kallo Ver]] in the Brig.
 
Once in the Brig, Lael assessed [[Kallo Ver|Ver]] in an attempt to understand him. She suspected, from what she'd read about him, that [[Kallo Ver|Ver]] had an ulterior motive, even if she couldn't pin exactly what it was. As the conversation continued, she, [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] and [[Sky Blake|Blake]] learned that [[Kallo Ver|Ver]] had staged the explosion to evade the [[Orion Syndicate]], who he'd made agreements with regarding a treasure potentially buried in the wreckage the away teams were currently surveying. After hearing this, [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] had one condition for his continued stay aboard the ''Veritas''.
 
[[Kallo Ver|Ver]] followed Lael, [[Sky Blake|Blake]], and [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] down to Engineering to help them better understand the nature behind the malfunction [[Anjar Thoran|Thoran]] had reported. Their conversation is interrupted by the bridge notifying [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] of an unidentified vessel off the port bow. After a brief, staticky conversation with the vessel's captain, [[Niraa]], a frustrated [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] ordered the small craft brought aboard for a face to face conversation.
 
When Lael first met [[Niraa]] in person, she'd already had her suspicions when she'd learned that [[Kallo Ver|Ver]] knew her and that the two had worked together at some point in the past. Her suspicions were confirmed when [[Niraa]] admitted that she had tracked the ''Veritas'' to its current location. When [[Niraa]] outright stated a curiosity about the treasure, Lael's suspicions regarding the woman's motivations were confirmed. It led her to believe that [[Niraa]] was after the treasure for herself.
 
Curious herself, Captain [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] elected to send over three away teams led by Commanders [[Mei'konda]], [[Evan Delano|Delano]], and [[Luna Walker|Walker]] respectively while Lael remained behind with [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] to monitor their progress. The teams later returned from the wreckage of the ''IRW Pellecia'' with a mysterious box that they believed contained a single artifact.


====ACT II====
====ACT II====


''SECTION UNDER CONSTRUCTION''
Lael, Commander [[Alex Blair|Blair]], Commander [[Mei'konda]], and scientist [[Timothy Alentonis]] were tasked with studying the mysterious box. In doing so, they discovered Romulan markings on the exterior of the box, confirming that it was of Romulan origin. They also learned that the material the box was made of deflected tetryon fields and radiation.
 
The issues with ship's systems were growing increasingly more frequent and disruptive. She'd initially believed it had to do with the wreckage, but with them now traveling away from it, she began to believe they were dealing with something aboard the Veritas itself.
 
Later in the Engineering workshop while attempting a deeper analysis of the metal's composition, one of the microscopes sparked and nearly started a fire. Lieutenant [[Anjar Thoran|Thoran]] rushed in to put it out. Fortunately, Lael had managed to put it out before it had become anything more serious. As he was leaving, [[Anjar Thoran|Thoran]] handed [[Alex Blair|Blair]] the sodium bicarbonate, joking, "Here. Just in case she starts another fire...this time, one that she isn’t able to suppress in time." <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/jho_VgOJrok/kPVjBHZJAQAJ| Where's The Fire?]</ref> Meanwhile, Dr. [[Timothy Alentonis|Alentonis]] had identified the metal as a rare Romulan element called [[Reskariaehhrr]] (''Reskari for short''). <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/pbK8yYkjyo8/-8hGAy9GBwAJ| What Is This Stuff?]</ref>

|quote=We’ve made some headway with our investigations into the Romulan element Reskariaehhrr, but most of what we have is based on simulations. As easy as it would be to just use bits of the box for further study, I can only imagine that the Captain and Headquarters want it intact. This really leaves little option but to take a team down to the planet in hopes of finding enough of the element to continue investigating its properties as well as the possibility that we could create an isotope that is similar enough in composition to its parent while being easier to replicate.

Lael compiles their findings regarding the box and the Reskari into a report, which she uses to persuade [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] to let her take a team down to the surface of [[Pellecia]] in hopes of recovering more of the rare metal for further study. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/pbK8yYkjyo8/-8hGAy9GBwAJ| Exciting Projects]</ref> She is successful and asks permission to take Dr. [[Timothy Alentonis|Alentonis]] with her. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/3HrL9MPF8mg/WL6AYpPmAAAJ| A Rare Opportunity], [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/Kx2Qu70urSA/izzLf1aHAwAJ| That's Half The Fun]</ref>
 
====='''''Confessions'''''=====
 
Embarrassed but desperate, Lael gathers the courage to tell [[Chythar Skyfire|Chythar]] about her very private predicament. She strongly suspects that she is entering her season and if she doesn't find a suitable mate, it could kill her. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/i93GAf1cCNo/4eEf6LnuAAAJ| I Have A Confession, Part I]</ref> [[Chythar Skyfire|Chythar]] runs some tests to see if he can find a way to slow down the progression and buy her more time. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/ohYaQNtwEBo/QgG2z7ruAAAJ| I Have A Confession, Part II]</ref>
 
====='''''Unexpected Invitation'''''=====
 
Lael received an invitation to [[Brell]]'s promotion party. Though she was excited at the chance to support [[Brell]], she was most excited, and a bit nervous because the {{USS|Atlantis}} was the ship Toryn served on. Their first meeting was intense with the two having a telepathic and empathic connection that rivaled her and Chythar's. Though she was a telepath with other Al-Leyans through touch, it seemed she didn't need to have physical contact with Toryn and they could hear one another's thoughts even across a large room.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-atlantis/Z1DISO_kNhw/Te0uU35zCwAJ| This Is So Surreal]</ref>
 
In the midst of their conversation, Lael realized that Toryn was emitting pheromones like crazy. This led her to the conclusion that Toryn was experiencing his Season and led her to wonder if he had somehow been the catalyst for hers. Though she'd been experiencing mild symptoms, her Season had laid dormant until she'd arrived on DS26.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-atlantis/NTXdN-9l0mY/XVcBNkYPCwAJ| If Looks Could Kill...]</ref>
 
They were separated by the arrival of [[Rune Jolara]], who pulled Toryn aside to talk. Lael sought distance and found a corner of the room where she could hide. She was briefly confronted by [[Valin Dermont]] about her and Toryn before Rear Admiral [[Renos]] getting everyone's attention. She slipped past [[Valin Dermont|Dermont]] and moved closer to the stage. She watched as [[Brell]] was promoted to Captain. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-atlantis/tRgZXHk97rY/iY1Flzl8AAAJ| Worst Timing Ever], [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-atlantis/aXWKYyGxJbo/c93rZhcIBAAJ| For The Honor of Brell]</ref> [[Toryn Raga|Toryn]] was promoted to Lieutenant, received a Purple Heart, and assigned as Chief of Security and Tactical. [[Serala]] was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade.
 
Following several very emotional moments where the crew honored the lives of those lost, Lael asked [[Toryn Raga|Toryn]] for a dance to celebrate his promotion and new department head role, an invitation that he reluctantly accepted. They talked while they danced and [[Toryn Raga|Toryn]] unexpectedly opened up to her about the mission that earned him the Purple Heart. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-atlantis/d6BkXQNKO7k/HSd9ADkIBAAJ| Honoring the Dead and Celebrating the Living], [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-atlantis/NIHjSwyCeos/y1n8r5amBAAJ| A Distraction While Dancing], [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-atlantis/Vh7BUjYLymA/1O2u-SREBQAJ| A Depth of Insight]</ref> But [[Toryn Raga|Toryn]] pulled back, leaving her there when things became to intimate. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-atlantis/CQ5fydE7eaM/2xo2DALoDQAJ| Close, Too Close (Raga).]</ref> With no further reason to stay, she returned to her temporary quarters and began to make arrangements for her return to the ''Veritas'' the next day.
 
====='''''All About Family'''''=====
 
Concerned about what will happen to [[Madeline Rosek|Maddy]] in her assets if she passes before [[Madeline Rosek|Maddy]] turns 18, she had reached out to her lawyer. On her way back from [[Brell]]'s promotion party, she receives a letter from her attorney with regard to the home that her father gifted her on Leya-I and her last wishes can't be finalized until it is resolved. During a video communication with her father, she confesses that she has entered her season. The news clearly hurts her father. He tells her he will look into the files of exiled Al-Leyans to see if he can find her a suitable mate to help her endure her season, even knowing it could get him charged with treason. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/2kk5wi2P3eE/VlTmabrrAAAJ| The Love of A Father, Part I]</ref>
 
From there, the topic changes to the home he gifted her and she finally learns the truth. He created a whole identify for her as his full-blooded Al-Leyan daughter to hide her Human identity and protect her from scorn and the Council. She's astonished by the depth of her father's love and dedication to her well being. By the end of the call, she has a completely new perspective on her parents and their short-lived relationship. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/CvxyC4nwGWc/1MTyp-3rAAAJ| The Love of A Father, Part II]</ref>
 
After the call to her father, she contacted her twin brother, Kellan, in need of reassurance that her twin had always been able to provide. She told him everything about Toryn and all that had happened in the couple of days prior. The conversation made her brother realize that he'd likely face a similar situation with his boyfriend, Layton, down the road. Despite the stress of the situation, Lael felt a renewed strength and determination after talking to him. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/4xAXf-mj3vo/EiEHHGTyAAAJ| Once Twins, Always Twins]</ref>
 
====='''''There Has To Be A Way'''''=====
 
After her return to the ''Veritas'', Lael went to see [[Chythar Skyfire|Chythar]] in hopes that he'd made progress on a way to slow the progress. Fortunately, Chythar had been able to come up with something and only needed a blood sample to customize it to her specific biological profile. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/DbfBID3q0kQ/QPvo5d0sAwAJ| Even If I Believe In Miracles, Part I] and [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/TS-4JQel0cM/rL5AQyItAwAJ| Even If I Believe In Miracles, Part II]</ref>
 
====='''''Another Day, Another Counseling Appointment'''''=====
 
Lael attended her first session with Counselor [[T'Katt Dugoras|Dugoras]] since starting the medication regimen meant to slow the progression of her season. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/gcio1gOoatk/wsLBdt_vAAAJ| Such Is Life]</ref> She opened up to him both about what she knew of the Al-Leyan season and its effects on the body as well as her telepathic and empathic connection with [[Toryn Raga|Toryn]]. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/1rpM-xdgP6E/H7VLqXtVAAAJ| Is That Explanation Complicated Enough For You?]</ref> The session concluded with her realizing just how complicated the situation had become and that she might have to make a choice that she didn't want to make. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/MAL7rwMUl1U/et9HvHU1AgAJ| Doesn't Mean I Have To Like It]</ref>
 
====='''''Another Perspective'''''=====
 
Unable to sleep, Lael nursed a mug of Ligonian Spiced Tea while going over the team list for her trip down to the planet tomorrow. [[Alex Blair|Alex]] approached and she tried to put on a smile to disguise her distraction. However, Alex saw right through her attempts and she confessed that the situation with [[Toryn Raga|Toryn]] was bothering her still. Again, she was told things she didn't necessarily want to hear, even though she realized that [[Alex Blair|Alex]] was right. Changing the topic, the two began discussing shoreleave plans and if either of them was planning to enjoy recreational time on the planet. Not for the first time in recent months, Lael teased [[Alex Blair|Alex]] about making an honest man out of [[Chythar Skyfire|Chythar]]. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/qoboxSv9vTE/mVJza8tSAQAJ| It's Going To Take More Than A Little Cheering Up], [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/z2LmzLFCPXg/26SdzJEyAgAJ|Enough About Me...Let's Talk About You and Chythar]</ref>

====='''''Heading for the Veritas'''''=====
 
Lael and [[Chythar Skyfire|Chythar]] arrived at [[Esperance]] and were readying themselves to board the shuttle back to the Veritas when they caught sight of Captain [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] and Commander [[Mei'konda]], who were apparently taking the same shuttle after having been away. Also boarding the shuttle and serving as their pilot was the newly assigned Ensign [[Valoru]]. The five talked sporadically for the journey until at last they arrived at the ''Veritas''. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/GUXr3j-yZyw/TCHUNCDpDwAJ| Good To Be Home, Part I],  [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/azycc8qrrz4/np3TbmbpDwAJ| Good To Be Home, Part II], [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/Wl_IU2zFEko/T8a8M2dsDAAJ| Home Again]</ref>
 
====='''''So Many New People'''''=====
 
The next evening, Lael forced herself to leave her quarters and at least pretend to be social. As she's ordering her drink from the bar in the Officer's Lounge, one of the new ensigns--[[German Galven]]--approached her and started making conversation. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/Wl_IU2zFEko/T8a8M2dsDAAJ| An Interesting Encounter]</ref>


====ACT III====
After a brief exchange and puns galore on [[German Galven|Galven]]'s part, he asked what Commander [[Mei'konda]] was drinking and offered to take him a refill. Once the Denobulan was out of earshot, Lael took a minute or two to process what had just happened between them. Another moment or two of conversation with Tobian and she joined the group that had surrounded [[Mei'konda]], introducing herself to new ensigns [[J'vreh]] and [[Lorian Lovar]].<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/7aIrWmtvgEI/WoBbWQ3KEwAJ| I Only Tease People I Like {REPOST}]</ref>
 
The group talked for a bit before Commander [[Mei'konda]] excused himself to go to bed and Lael was left with the new arrivals, carrying on the conversation a bit. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/kWuk0OwRuno/h51KlaADFQAJ| Begrudgingly Social...At Least At First]</ref> Soon after Lieutenant [[Carter Greyson]] and Doctor [[J'vreh]] excused themselves to go to bed, leaving her with the Vulcan scientist. She and [[Lorian Lovar|Lovar]] began talking about her Engineering project with [[Alex Blair|Alex]]. However, their conversation was interrupted by a comm from [[Anjar Thoran|Anjar]] asking for her help with an Engineering issue. Forced to cut her and [[Lorian Lovar|Lovar]]'s conversation short, the two agreed to discuss more details later and she left to help [[Anjar Thoran|Anjar]]. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/Iy-Eos4KQa0/zD1ZNyL4BAAJ| Promising Projects]</ref>
 
====='''''Lending A Hand'''''=====
 
Lael's holodeck time was interrupted by Lieutenant Commander [[Evan Delano]] to inform her that he needs to run maintenance and safety checks. At his request, she ends her program and Lael offers to lend him a hand. While they work, the two talk about how Lael is adjusting and she brings up strange dreams she's experiencing due to her psionic connection with Toryn Raga. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/hWodfm6JTpM/FwK5u5_UAAAJ| Interrupted Holodeck Time, Part 1]</ref> After hearing what she was experiencing, [[Evan Delano|Evan]] suggested meditation and even offered to teach her some of his techniques. She agreed and thus the two began sessions to help her get her emotions better under control. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/PCe5KspBOQA/KT7ZA85tDAAJ| Interrupted Holodeck Time, Part 2]</ref>
 
====='''''Flirty Denobulan'''''=====
 
Lael's holodeck time is interrupted by [[German Galven|Galven]]. His entrance distracts her and she's injured by the Romulan opponent she's fighting. He seems impressed by her skills. The two talk and then he replays the last few minutes of his Academy final. Following that, the two retired to the officer's lounge for a drink. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/jk2llq65QKg/ZLjSZTlNBAAJ| May I Have This Dance, Part I]</ref>
 
They talked and Lael opened up about something she rarely discussed with anyone--her first mission as a Starfleet officer. As the conversation progressed, she got a distinct feeling like he was trying to impress her. Even after she subtly revealed the fact that she was engaged, [[German Galven|Galven]] asked her to dance. Despite her uncertainty, she agreed. She was enjoying the experience until she noticed people starting to whisper. Suddenly uncomfortable, she broke away and attempted to end the evening. [[German Galven|Galven]], not picking up the hint, propositioned her. After stammering a polite decline to his invitation, she turned and all but ran to her quarters. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/RAP6ro92hYU/5Swlx3b1AgAJ| May I Have This Dance, Part II]</ref>
 
====='''''Celebrating Friends'''''=====
 
Despite having missed the last mission and wanting nothing more than to stay in her quarters, Lael reluctantly dressed to attend the post-mission ceremony nonetheless. The possible announcement of [[Alex Blair|Alex]]'s transfer to the {{USS|Constitution-B}} to serve as first officer made her even more hesitant to go, but she was determined to support her friends. With [[Jonathan Cumar|Jon]] back on Earth, [[Anjar Thoran|Anjar]] had agreed to escort her so that she wouldn't feel so awkward and alone.
 
Not long after her arrival in the Officer's Mess, Captain [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] made the announcement she'd been dreading. It hit her harder than she'd expected and she had to lean on [[Anjar Thoran|Anjar]] for emotional support. At a loss for words while the others congratulated him, she could only think her congratulations. Despite the bittersweet news of Alex's impending departure, the announcement of [[Evan Delano|Evan]]'s promotion to Commander cheered her up a little. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/V7xOAVSgjDo/9rSUv4dMBQAJ| The Things I Do To Support My Friends, Part I]</ref>
 
As awards were handed out, she got to enjoy a rare moment--[[Anjar Thoran|Anjar]] flustered as he received two awards he hadn't been expecting. When he rejoined her in the crowd, she didn't hesitate to rib him.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/-bf3X1lJk4s/s1PpXKNMBQAJ| The Things I Do To Support My Friends, Part II] & [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/DqxSAQj4wHA/hrczL8VMBQAJ| The Things I Do To Support My Friends, Part III]</ref>

Captain Rahman has called for a briefing, which I assume is related to our next mission. Given that we are headed toward Havley’s Hope and the Captain hasn’t seen fit to alter our course, I suspect that we are needed at the mining colony. I’m curious as to why they would request assistance from a Starfleet vessel given how independent the people of the Shoals are and how much some seem to resent Starfleet interfering with their affairs.
