[[Image:seashellsfromDuronisII.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Seashells From Duronis II]] After barely four months service aboard Janel Tarna is reassigned to the USS Victory and even on his first day, finds his experience vastly different to what he'd become used to. Where he hadn't met the Captain of the Spectre during his time aboard he met Captain [[Nugra]] immediately after the shuttle carrying him had docked. He found the exceptionally tall lizard to be a little intimidating at first and suffered badly from first day nerves. The Captain had him join the rest of the senior officers at a promotions and awards ceremony, there he met Commander {n|Alucard|Vess}}, Lieutenant Commander {{n|Paul|Sharpe}}, First Lieutenant {{n|S'arila|Donovan}} and cadet {{n|Charlotte|DeBarres}}. It was blatantly obvious to all how socially awkward and nervous he was. | [[Image:seashellsfromDuronisII.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Seashells From Duronis II]] After barely four months service aboard Janel Tarna is reassigned to the USS Victory and even on his first day, finds his experience vastly different to what he'd become used to.

Because they were on shoreleave rotation Janel was soon released to that he might spend some time on [[Embassy of Duronis II|Duronis II]]. The USS Victory was in orbit of the planet and had come to celebrate a particularly rare and special event - the promotions of Fleet Captain {{n|Toni|Turner}} to Rear Admiral and Commander [[Nugra]] to Captain. During his time there he managed to spend some time on the beach, enjoying the views of the beautiful coastline. While he wished he'd taken his camera down to the surface with him he did manage to pick a few nice shells, shaped similrly to scallops from the sand as he sat and chatted with {{n|Paul|Sharpe}}, {{n|Andromeda|Lightfeather}}, {{n|Chris|Kildare}} and {{n|S'arila|Donovan}}. Because he was in a much smaller group of people and an environment in which he felt comfortable and happy, his demeanor was much more relaxed than previously. | Because they were on shoreleave rotation Janel was soon released to that he might spend some time on [[Embassy of Duronis II|Duronis II]].

|Janel Tarna was exceptionally excited to have the opportunity to join his first away team since graduating from the Academy. It was headed by the Duronis II Embassy's first officer {{n|Hannibal|Parker}}. The team was to investigate the source of a strange signal but had barely touched down and begun their area search when the weather took a turn for the worst. A thunderous roar alerted the team to an incoming tsunami. They prepared the rib as the wall of water approached and took shelter aboard the vessel. Unfortunately {{n|Brooks|Gwinnett}} slipped and banged her head in a freak accident. The helmet she wore cracked but held together. Doctor Tarna attended to her immediately and kept her stabilized until they could get her evacuated. Her injuries were horrific, the worst Tarna had seen in his short career but he kept it together and as a result of his actions the marine's life was saved. He visited her in the care ward on Utopia Planetia when the Victory docked there and she was transferred to their larger, better equipped and staffed facility although she was not conscious at the time. | |||

Janel Tarna got another shot at joining an away team and after the disappointment from how the first one turned out he was eager to get to work and prove himself to his new crew this time. LtCmdr {{n|Eerie|}} was in charge of the away team, which was tasked with searching for 5 stolen vials of a plague, currently curable using an effective serum called the Skyfire Virus. The worry was that in the hands of the wrong people the virus would be tampered with, creating a new strain of disease that could devastate populations as the plague had done before the cure had been developed. Arriving on the planet their Romulan counterparts seemed pleasant enough on the surface. He could tell there were others in his team who really did not trust them but he tried to keep an open mind and give them the benefit of the doubt. | |||
In the process of their search, Janel came up with an idea regarding where the vials might be hidden. He and Ensign {{n|Lael|Rosek}} went to investigate only to find another Romulan already on the scene, with a box in her hands. The Trill medic tried to find out what was in the box but she fled the scene. Janel and Lael gave chase with Janel dropping his medical pack which was cumbersome and slowing him down. He was knocked unconscious by another Romulan hiding in the shadows of a nearby open room, giving the woman opportunity to flee. After stopping down to check on him Lael suffered the same fate. | |||
The two were taken prisoner and held in a cell at some unknown location. The next days were pure misery and saw them tortured and humiliated through various means: beatings, being hung in a pitch black freezer filled with dead and diseased Romulan scientists being strung up on meat hooks, more beatings, waterboarding, starvation, being forced to perform humiliating boots like licking their captors boots continued until a mysterious figure stepped in. During this time a strange but powerful bond had developed between Trill and Al-Leyan hybrid, love one might say. They were exploring this bond when interrupted by the mysterious figure from before, who moved them out of their cell, past a bonfire upon which Lieutenant {{n|Talia|Kaji}} appeared to be burning to a freighter. | |||
Aboard the freighter they had a rare chance to eat. Janel had a steak and kept the knife as a weapon. He was determined to escape, while Lael wanted to use the opportunity to rest. They had nearly come to an agreement when they realized the freighter was landing and that the welcoming committee didn't look too friendly. This forced their hands and they escaped, with Lael using her engineering know-how to force open the door, and Janel using his anatomical knowledge to savagely sleigh a guard before they even had a chance to react to his presence. They made their way towards the escape pods but met with more resistance. While they overcame it they were unable to move forward as Janel's condition continued to worsen. He can't remember much after that but is understood to have been close to trying to down some industrial chemical he believed to be a popular Trill beverage at the time. | |||
[[Image:Tarna.png|left|thumb|150px|Injured and AWOL]] Once rescued by {{n|Ayiana|Sevo}} and {{n|Tarsii|Asmara}} and safely back in sickbay, Commander {{n|Alucard|Vess}} had to step in to perform life saving brain surgery. Despite being an accomplished surgeon the injuries were simply too great and when Janel awoke and looked at his medical records he soon learned the bad news for himself. Damage to the frontal lobe indicated a host of problems might emerge such as showing less facial expressions spontaneously, changes to personality, decision making process behaviour and even sexual behaviour. He was truly worried for his future and what this all meant for him. | |||
After falling out with Lael upon regaining consciousness and finding her by his bedside, he later made up with her and they proceeded to get to know each other much more intimately. Any gains he might have made with their relationship were almost immediately put in jeopardy when a call from the symbiosis commission provided him with the opportunity he'd been working hard towards for years. In a series of bad decisions he went against Nugra's decision that he not be granted leave to attend the intensive series of exams without a medical pass from Commander Vess. Deciding that he wouldn't be able to get what he wanted from Vess he hired the best shuttlecraft he could get and went AWOL without another word to anybody. He was determined that nothing would get in his way and cut across pirate infested territory and through a hazardous nebula to get to his goal. He didn't realise how lucky he was to be alive until he got out of the wrecked shuttle and saw just how bad a state it was in from the outside. | |||
When he finally arrived he was a few hours late. He was granted a meeting in which his examiners dropped him from the program, showing how each decision he'd made since they called had proven him an unsuitable candidate. The decision was final and he was handed over to starfleet security who arrested him and took him to a detention facility downtown to await the arrival of the {{USS|Victory}}. | |||
