Chythar Skyfire: Difference between revisions

When his friend {{n|Sal|Taybrim}} transferred to the {{USS|Darwin|A}}, that caused a few additional problems for CD. Most notably, it brought his fear of breaking a fourth counselor to the surface. What seems to him like a day later, after a drill against a couple of carefully programmed weapons platforms, he gets a call out of the blue from a shuttlepod that brings Taybrim back aboard.

Once he was transferred onto the USS Excalibur, the first mission they go on involves Chythar attempting to aid Lt. MacLaren in her efforts to stop a catastrophic plague from wiping out the Romulan population on Agurtha. [[File:Medics_of_excalibur.jpg|frame|right|Left to Right: Skyfire, Morgan, Folds -- Medical Team of the USS Excalibur A]]During said efforts, he was injured in an explosion that caused his mind to become haphazard shards of random thought but he was still fully capable of doing his job as a medical officer with only partial hearing. He was dedicated to research, as that was the task that [[Nicholotti, Kali|Captain Kalianna Nicholotti]] had bestowed on him. Due to his fractured thought processes and a low-grade concussion, it took him a few minutes to realize that was what he should be doing and the capacity of being the most useful at the moment. The number of patients greatly outweighed the number of patients, so he was chosen as the research monkey. Hard at work on the cure to the plague, he was too hyper-focused on this to notice at once that [[Cuthbert, Alden|Ensign Alden Cuthbert]] was in fact suffering from poison and not from the plague itself. He thought it was the plague at first because of his too-focused mindset. He is also the genius behind the Teapaste that [[Skyfire_Saving_Ensign_Cuthbert|saved Alden's life]]. The security ensign's near-death experience averted, Chythar finished what later became known as [[Skyfire_Cure|The Skyfire Cure]]. Within hours after the cure was completed, he was granted the rank of Lieutenant JG and [[Skyfire_Reactions|given awards for his actions.]]<br />

Just before they ship out, he makes a friend in {{n|Sal|Taybrim}}, who is the first counselor Chythar's worked with happily since getting out of the academy. Unfortunately, the test of time and life of Starfleet brings Taybrim's time on the {{USS|Excalibur|A}} to a close as it takes him to the {{USS|Darwin|A}}. During Sal's absence, he realizes he's going to probably wind up breaking a fourth counselor by the name of [[Ceilidh|Ensign Ceilidh Riverview]]. Last thing he wanted was to do that, so he set up a meeting over coffee with [[Collim Kieran|Lieutenant Collim Kieran]] in order to reinforce his shields and discuss the current situation with her. The two discussed, and Collim agreed to help reinforce his mental shields only if he set up that appointment with Riverview and began the discussion. What seemed like a month to Chythar, Taybrim's return from the ''Darwin'' cause him to hope again. Shortly afterward, the crew engaged the Slipstream drive and appeared in a region of space that began messing with their minds. The doctor was trying to save Ensign {{n|Azin|}}'s life during a [[Dokkaran]] mind meld that [[Skyfire_Azin:Complicated_1|messed with his mind]] in ways that he didn't imagine due to his impressive mental fortitude, for being human. As a result, the meld [[Skyfire_Trapped_In_The_Mind|rewrote his genetic code]] and granted him limited telepathy.
