Hsina Amman: Difference between revisions

THAT WAS SIXTY-YEARS-AGO.  The six survivors went into stasis, certain that someone would find the drifting, derelict starship.  They did, 60-years-later, but only one of the six stasis chambers remained active, that of Dr. Hsina Amman.  Hsina woke up at Starbase 118 OPS, then spent a few weeks at Star Fleet Academy for a direct commission course (she did not attend a regular academy) and finally posting as an ensign on the USS Discovery-C.

Hsina's older brother died twelve-years-ago while she was in stasis on the Curiosity.  Her older sister lived until the age of 115, and did get to meet with Hsina once when USS Discovery took shore leave.  Hsina's only surviving relatives are an 80-year-old nephew and his three children, whom she has only met twice.

Most recently, Hsina and her shipmates spent some time on the planet Kjenta II, a high-gravity planet with similar physiological effects to Ba'ku inside the Briar Patch.  While the effects varied by individual, the older one was physically, the more their physical age reverted while on Kjenta II.  The effect is such that the longer one spends on the planet and more one exerts oneself while there, the more pronounced the effect, which in its end state would have a person age backwards (or forwards normally if very young) until they reached their physiological prime.  To make Hsina's age more complex, she essentially got ten-years-younger in her time on Kjenta II, and while she was born 104-years-ago and has lived for 44 years, she is physiologically 34-years-old.
