Ayelet Kadosh: Difference between revisions

Kadosh is a confident woman who speaks with a slight Hebrew accent, though it becomes a bit more pronounced when she is excited. Despite the hardships she endured during the [[Vaadwaur occupation]], she remains resilient and upbeat. She prides herself on her composure, dignity, and professionalism, and during the occupation, her fellow insurgents called her their shining light in those darkest of hours. Maintaining these traits are especially important to her because she had promised to her friend [[Brockton, Jennifer|Jennifer Brockton]] that she would always stay the strong person that Brockton knew her as. Ultimately, Brockton did not survive to see Starfleet's liberation of the station. Although Kadosh was promoted for her actions during the occupation, she does not like to discuss what happened.

:Though Bakari would consider himself strongly protective of the other survivors, Kadosh often worries about ''him'' in the way that an older sister might worry about a younger and troubled sibling. Kadosh hadn't known Bakari, a low ranking security officer, before the [[Vaadwaur Occupation]], but she soon saw how protective he had become over the survivors who remained on the station. For a lieutenant junior grade like Bakari to become the senior officer on the station meant that he had witnessed many of his superior officers--his teachers, mentors, and friends--killed or worse. He promised those whom he saved that they would not be abandoned, but two months into the occupation, he confided to Kadosh one night that he felt Starfleet had abandoned them all to face death alone.

Kadosh was assigned to [[Deep Space 17]]'s medical department in 2385. She lived through the Grendellai and Ixvapyan bombings in 2386 and was present when the station was captured by the Vaadwaur on SD 238707.15 during the [[Second Battle of Eratis]]. When the particular medical facility she'd been working in was overwhelmed by Vaadwaur, several of the doctors and nurses were slaughtered outright by the soldiers. Kadosh and a few others were kept alive to take care of the captured prisoners during the [[Vaadwaur Occupation]].

On SD 238707.29, Kadosh was rescued by [[Bakari, Msafiri|Msafiri Bakari]]. Bakari took her back to his holdout where he and a handful of Federation personnel hid and planned an insurgency. Week by week, they did their best to stall the Vaadwaur's progress, but they were outnumbered and outmatched. Many of the insurgents did not survive to see Starfleet retake the station through [[Operation Bright Star]] on SD 238709.11.

During the ''Independence'''s next mission to [[Bilire VI]] to assist a Romulan refugee colony, Kadosh found herself and other Starfleet away team members the target of mistrust by the colonists as the settlement experienced an unknown plague known only as the Wrath. Ultimately, these tensions erupted into a riot at the colony's hospital, but the away team was quickly beamed away before anyone was hurt.
