Saveron: Difference between revisions

He applied and was accepted to the Federation Centre for Xenobiology Research where Saveron completed his PhD in Xenobiology, studying Xenononosis, the process whereby a disease passes from one alien species to another. Here he came under the tutelage of [[Bakewell,_Ramsey| Professor Ramsey Bakewell]], an eminent and respected Xenosociologist who had a profound influence on Saveron and greatly assisted with his adaption, at a mature age, to the poly-species culture of the wider Federation, and encouraged him to enter Starfleet, as the logical place to gain greatest exposure to alien patients.

Following his graduation, Saveron was assigned to the [[Ronin|USS Ronin]] under the command of [[Turner,_Toni|Captain Toni Turner]], and transferred with the rest of her crew to the [[Embassy_of_Duronis_II|Federation Embassy on Duronis II]]. Captain Turner's origins as a medical officer meant that Saveron respected her greatly as a commanding officer. He developed good working relationships with the majority of the crew, but particularly those members who had joined at or around the same time; Engineer [[McGhee,_Jaxon|Jaxon McGhee]], Marine [[Green,_Isaac|Isaac Green]] and Counsellor [[Yael,_Ashley_Deneve|Ashley Yael]].  

The [[USS_Thunder|USS Thunder]] - the support ship assigned to the Embassy - was on a routine patrol of the Sandbar under then Lieutenant Commander [[Rhul,_Tallis|Tallis Rhul]] when Saveron began acting strangely. It later became apparent that, through contact with some Bajoran relics, the good doctor had been possessed by a Pah Wraith. Forcibly mind-melding with Lt. [[Green,_Isaac|Isaac Green]] in an act of mental rape to force his compliance, Saveron used their combined clearances to take over the ship, nearly succeeding in taking it to DS9 to stage a Reckoning, before the ship's crew fought back. Control of the ship and Lt. Green were regained, but Saveron escaped and made his way to the hangar bay, where he was confronted by Lt. [[Anora,_Manar|Anora Manar]] possessed by a Prophet. Their comflict threatened to destroy the Thunder, until the crew were able to cobble together a chroniton generator and banish both beings from their hosts.

Following his own internal struggle with the Pah Wraith, Saveron found his personal composure and emotional control great compromised, and it took some time to rebuild. During this time he was counselled by Counsellor [[Yael,_Ashley_Deneve|Ashley Yael]]. It was an interesting juxtaposition because Saveron as the ship's Doctor was assisting Yael with his own health issues surrounding his enurodegenerative dissorder. The Doctor and the Counsellor built up a strong working relationship adn became particularly firm friends, perhaps partly because of the similar nature of their work and partly because of their similar personalities and preferences. Both were intelligent, pacifists, not overly social and because of species preferences avoid casual physical contact. Saveron also developed a great respect for the newly promoted Commander [[Rhul,_Tallis|Tallis Rhul]], who not only brought the ship intact through a nearly impossible problem, but did not place any blame on the officers involved, although Saveron blamed himself. Unfortunately the incident damanged his working relationship with Lt. Green. Even though the man laid no blame with him, the intimate and offensive nature of their prior mental contact made the two men stiffly formal with each other.
