[[Image:EmbassyXO-Teller.jpg|right|thumb|175px|[[Geoffrey Teller]]]]
Blake first encounters the [[Terran]] [[Betazoid]] hybrid [[Wil Ukinix]] in the ''Veritas''' Main Engineering, following their encounter with [[Jhalib Ekal]]. Blake eases tensions between Wil and Ekal when they cannot agree on which system to prioritise when the [[Temporal Integrity Commission]] threatens to sabotage the ship. Despite his being a relatively unknown entity, Blake tells Wil she vouches for Ekal, but asks him to tell her if he has objections to the time traveller being aboard.
On their first mission together into a mine of [[Havley's Hope]], Blake finds herself amused she (as ''Veritas'' Chief of Security) seemed less concerned with everyone's safety the [[Geoffrey Teller]], a new ensign who had recently joined the ship as an Engineer. She was displeased at Teller's immediate jump to his phaser at the first sign of trouble, but didn't ultimately inform him of this, assuming he would mellow the longer he spent in service.
 
Stranded on [[Limbo]] in 2396, Blake takes it upon herself to scout bushland areas for food and resources, but she is bitten by a snake on day 101 stranded. Teller follows the smoke of a fire she'd set, and finds Blake near-unconscious. He slaps her (an attempt to get a rise out of her) but she ultimately passes out before he rushes her to the crew's medical tent. When she comes-to, she sarcastically remarks to [[Cole Maxwell]] and [[Raissa Moonsong]] that she intends to push for Teller's demotion for the slap.
 
Blake meets [[Charlena Vanlith]] during a crew briefing, prompting her noting the young age of a portion of her crew that were now almost a decade younger herself -- Teller and Ukinix included, both being 25 years old at the time. That the crew was investigating a brutal murder caused her great concern for their young members' well-being. Regardless, Blake notes Captain [[Roshanara Rahman]]'s decision to send both Blake and Teller to Oshovir Ch'chileth to ask hard questions about his involvement in Illanos' death as an "interesting choice", as the interaction "could spell some interesting comments from either party".
 
When Ch'chileth accuses both Vanlith and Teller of being corrupt, Blake physically places herself between the trio to protect them from the increasingly hysterical Andorian. They learn more from Ch'chileth and his treatment at the hands of Armin Illanos (who Ch'chileth facilitated the murder of), and Teller refers to the Andorian as a victim and informs him there was nothing to be afraid of... but Blake sees this as intrinsicly false, based on his actions in spite of maltreatment. She becomes frustrated when Teller crafts a cunning plan to catch Illanos' true murderer, halting Blake's potential arrest of Ch'chileth, but allows the plan to go ahead.
 
Blake joins Teller, [[Evan Delano]], [[Ghant Xerix]], [[Addison MacKenzie]], [[G'var]], and [[Wil Ukinix]] as they played a game of poker. Blake declines to play, but hangs around "to see Ukinix lose his shorts".
 
MacKenzie recruits Teller to Blake's medical case when it becomes apparent the Brekkazoid needs a new spinal cord, shortly after his promotion to Lieutenant Commander. He attempts to help MacKenzie access Blake's medical records with his rank, but the files are still restricted. While they consider how to open those files, Teller helps create a field that will slow Blake's deterioration by thalaron radiation. Teller and MacKenzie inform Blake of their plan to treat her, and Blake gives them express permission to pursue her files. She's then isolated in Sickbay until further notice. She later allows Teller to extrapolate data from the [[Sky Blake (hologram)|Sky Blake hologram]] to assist in the creation of her new spine.
 
After ''Veritas'' is sucked into the Void, the ship loses contact with the Bridge. Teller is on Blake's list of potential acting-captains of the ship as Chief Engineer, but he was away aboard {{USS|Diligent}}.
 
Teller is present when [[Rivi Vataix]] boards ''Veritas'' with Blake's son, Ayden. Teller is unfairly used as a bell-hop, but Blake leaves him at Rivi's mercy. Later, as Blake takes over the Executive Officer's position, Blake muses she should ask Teller to jury-rig her office door to be permanently open to allow for walk-ins.

'''Blake:''' So much has happened, in such a short amount of time too. I am honoured to have witnessed you go from our resident savvy, sea shanty engineer, to a well-respected and strong Commander. ::A shaky sigh:: And still so young, at that.
 
'''Teller:''' If I’ve grown, it’s only because I could stand on the shoulders of giants.  ::He cracked a grin, tears mixing with laughter.::  Besides, it was either that or get a step stool.

Eventually, Teller is reassigned as Executive Officer of [[Embassy of Duronis II]] alongside [[Addison MacKenzie]]. Blake attends their going-away party aboard a holograhpic recreation of an old Constitution class ship and poses for a holo with he and [[Roshanara Rahman]]. As Teller and MacKenzie boards their shuttle to leave, Blake admits that she doesn't want to let them go and that they are friends, family — but that she supports them both immensely. She shares tearful hugs goodbye, and the two leave for Duronis II.
 
Blake and Teller share a sense of right and wrong, with a dedication to their duty post giving the pair an excellent but abundantly similar work ethic, but they differ when one questions in what their separate moralities are grounded. Where Blake tries to remain true to the letter of the law of Starfleet and the [[Colonial Coalition Marshals Service]], Teller bends his beliefs based on the actions of people, much to Blake's ongoing internal criticism.
 
Despite considering him young and a little inexperienced (at one point even noting him to be a "youngun"), Blake has a high respect for Geoffrey Teller and his capabilities as an officer and engineer. Blake sees Teller as holding a certain air of professionalism about him, despite of his easy-going nature. Often she finds herself hooked into his enthusiasm for his crew, and quietly supports his endeavours — a [[Brew Continuum]] mug can be found in Blake's office.
 
===Wil Ukinix===
[[Image:WilUkinixOnBetazed.png|left|thumb|175px|[[Wil Ukinix]]]]
Blake first meets the [[Terran]] [[Betazoid]] hybrid [[Wil Ukinix]] in the ''Veritas''' Main Engineering, following their encounter with [[Jhalib Ekal]]. Blake eases tensions between Wil and Ekal when they cannot agree on which system to prioritise when the [[Temporal Integrity Commission]] threatens to sabotage the ship. Despite his being a relatively unknown entity, Blake tells Wil she vouches for Ekal, but asks him to tell her if he has objections to the time traveller being aboard.


During her first meeting with [[Rivi Vataix]], Blake becomes privy to Betazed Noble House gossip when the Vataixes compare her relation to [[Aagan Eislas]] with the potential scandal of being related to the [[Ninth House of Betazed]]—and learns the family "Ukinix" was once the leading noble family of the House. Hoping Wil might have some insight regarding Betazoid noble politics, she calls and unintentionally becomes the first person to inform him of his connection to Betazoid royalty. Wil reveals he knew nothing about the connection, and jokes about needing a weekly "Betazoid royalty support group" to which Blake replies "If you intend to bring the alcohol, go right ahead."

Line 28: Line 68:


Wil accidentally interupts a rather serious conversation between Blake and [[Rairen Caide]], inviting her to breakfast. She introduces him to the Ranger, and defends the man's cold tone during their conversation. She admits feeling guilty about Lukaik's death in Marshal custody, though Wil reassures her they all joined Starfleet to make things better, and that they all learn from their mistakes. They joke that he would would be a witness in the unlikely event she was ever brought to trial over the incident.

When ''Veritas'' is pulled into "the Void", Blake encounters Wil in Sickbay following a ship-wide loss of power. Alongside [[Nic del Vedova]], they evacuate the crew to Cargo Bay 2 of the ship. Just as he attempts to leave, Wil zones out—a consequence of a telepathic conversation with [[Raissa Moonsong]]. Concerned for his well-being, Blake and del Vedova attempt to a slightly prone Wil to a safer area, but he recovers quickly—though keen eyes may note Blake was hesitant to release her supportive hold of him.


Blake cares for Wil almost as if he were a younger brother (possibly influenced by their near-decade age difference). She finds his chirpy and occasionally clumsy attitude on the job particularly refreshing, his positive demeanour leaving an ongoing impact on the all-work-no-play Brekkazoid. Because of this, Blake may quickly jump to his defence when she deems necessary. She often encourages Wil to "be careful", worrying that his merry work ethic may one day prove his downfall.

Blake cares for Wil almost as if he were a younger brother (possibly influenced by their near-decade age difference). The two connect quickly over their odd relations to Betazoid noble houses.

Because of this, Blake may quickly jump to his defence when she deems necessary. She often encourages Wil to "be careful", worrying that his merry work ethic may one day prove his downfall.  


The two are contrasting representations of Betazoid hybrids: while Blake shies away from her heritage, Wil encourages her to have an open mind about it. His willingness to engage in telepathic conversation with other Betazoids leaves her slightly unsettled and concerned for his well-being.

====Zhou Tai-Sheng====
 
===Zhou Tai-Sheng===
[[Image:ZhouTS.jpg|right|thumb|175px|[[Zhou Tai-Sheng]]]]
[[Zhou Tai-Sheng]] approaches Blake in an Ornaran bar in 2392 to recruit her as the ''Veritas'' strategic operations officer, having put pieces of conflicting reports and compiling everything surrounding Blake's status at the time together to find her in Bintac. Her academy record, final medical reports, and the occasional mention in another officer's log, coupled with her time spent on Ornara previously, were the slithers that made up her file. Unfamiliar with Ornara, Blake 'rescues' him from potentially poor choices of cuisine, and instead brings him back to her small apartment to discuss her duties aboard the ''Veritas'' where they remain for the night. When Brekka refuses ''Veritas'' entry into the Delos system to pick them up, they are forced to find other means of returning to the Starfleet vessel. She ultimately joins the crew on a provisional basis, much to the concern of a few members of the ship's senior staff.

[[File:Sabor3.jpg|thumb|250px|right|[[Sabor]].]]
Though deceased, Sabor still affects Blake's personality and psyche, as Blake once held access to his experience as a Starfleet armory officer - potentially why she was able to return to active Starfleet duty so easily. She can recall perfectly "rants" about potential weapons and uses, and such things influence her choices of defense when operating in the Shoals. However, there are some things Blake believes Sabor wouldn't consider despite his capabilities as an armory officer, such as Crewman [[Rotha]]'s use of a phaser to create a forcefield.
Blake doesn't discuss Sabor often with others, though inadvertently refers to him often - with no knowledge of him, however, these references go unnoticed by her fellow crew.
====Pre-2391====
Blake supposedly met Sabor following his transfer to the {{USS|Mercury}} in 2389, where he was assigned to her as the ship's armory officer. He makes such an impression through his dedication to his job that Blake asks for his transfer to the [[Embassy of Duronis II]], and again when she is moved to the {{USS|Avandar}}. Here, they begin a romantic relationship.

After Ayden is born, Sky's mentality and physical condition worsens considerably, unable to differentiate dream from reality. Unable to leave Brekka with a newborn, Blake decides to seek treatment on her homeworld. Blake undergoes surgery to "kill" her telepathic lobe, and remains in a coma for a week - during this time, Sabor reads about Frilativ Brekkian culture, and names their son "Ayden" (meaning strength during times of hardship).

====Four months====


Blake awakens from surgery totally unaware of the last ten years, and with no other option, decides to accompany Sabor and their two children home - if only to stay for a few days to get back on her feet. Shocked and uncomfortable with how much Sabor knows about her, she almost leaves just two days into her stay, but is convinced to stay on the promise that they will both be more open and communication their concerns with each other. [[Sky Blake/"Now."|Sabor recounts]] how they met aboard the {{USS|Mercury}} and the important steps of their relationship leading up to Ayden's birth and their wedding.

Line 117: Line 152:
Having so far refused Sabor's attempts to leave her home on Brekka, Blake suffers a seizure that forces the two to return to a medical facility in Lornae. Blake is cleared to leave after a night under medical observation, but the two get caught in the cross-fire of Brekkian military forces firing on an extremist group attempting to destroy an Ornaran embassy. Sabor, attempting to assist civilians to safety, is fatally wounded by military personnel. To the discomfort for all who ask, Blake can remember in vivid detail exactly how it felt as he passed away.

When arresting Commander Victor Yeager (commanding officer of the {{USS|Astraeus}}, Blake compares the final actions of Sabor to the non-action of Yeager. It is Sabor's maturity that allows her to conclude her encounter with Yeager calmly. Somewhat similarly, when faced with the visually threatening aliens discovered underground on [[Havley's Hope]], Blake exhibits a non-hostile attitude before and after encountering them, despite the unease of her fellow crewmates. She even goes so far as to be curious about the four-eyed aliens eye care when underground.

Blake has a brief conversation with a young man on a turbolift in mid-2395, notable in how the strangers eyes are remarkably similar to Sabor's.

Stranded on a small moon called [[Limbo]] for 101 days, Blake is bitten by a snake whilst out scouting. Affected by venom and with no means of communication with the crew, she starts hallucinating, seeing and talking to Sabor. She admits to him that she is still affected by his choice that led to his death - to save others from danger, which cost him his own life. Alone and with no crew nearby to simple stumble upon her should she fall unconscious, "Sabor" suggests using her stun weapon with her flashlight, which will hopefully make enough noise or cause a fire to attract attention. Though she initially rebuts this suggestion, she realizes she has very few other useful ideas. With his encouragement, she successfully sets a fire, though passes out before anyone locates her.
