Finally, while Hsina is unbalanced and not quite right, she is very good at hiding it. She actually suffers from a genetic disorder that makes her completely psi-null. She has absolutely zero psionic potential where most humans have some, and while that means she can never learn some of the mental disciplines like walking on hot coals and the like, it also prevents empaths and telepaths from getting any reading at all, though a Vulcan mind-meld, which is a direct physical connection, will get a reading, but only if done intrusively as she is incapable of consenting as that involves opening up a part of the brain that simply doesn't work. There have been two instances, however, when somehow (Hsina doesn't yet understand it) two telepathic/empathic individuals were able to get something of a fuzzy-peripheral read on Hsina, while at the same time Hsina heard their thoughts as well. Defective hardware is Hsina's best guess. | Finally, while Hsina is unbalanced and not quite right, she is very good at hiding it.

Last Physical: | |||
Right hand and wrist crushed. Muscle and bone regenerated though significant nerve damage remains causing constant, intense pain. Patient was offered amputation and an advanced prosthetic, but refused. | |||
Non-linear aging. Patient underwent cryogenic stasis for 60 years, which halted her aging for that time. She also aged in reverse roughly 10 years on a visit to the planet Kjenta II, which has a metaphysic radiation much like that of the better known planet of Ba’ku (see Star Trek: Insurrection). Her current chronological age is 107, her experiential age is 47, while her physiological and medical age is 37. | |||
Three-years-ago patient was injected with the Daris II virus, which is nearly always fatal. Luckily a shipmate who had survived the virus was nearby, and a live anti-biotic was synthesized in time to save her life. She carries the Daris II cells in her blood, however no ill effects remain. | |||
Despite the constant pain in her right hand and wrist, patient is in exceptionally good health and has strength and endurance that measures exceptionally high for a human. Patient is medically cleared for active duty. | |||

Last Psych Eval: | |||
As always, Commander Amman is a most uncomfortable officer to evaluate on account of her being completely psi-null. While I am sure that a physical mind-meld would be successful, the officer continues to refuse to consent and as such it is absolutely impossible to know what she is thinking. | |||
Also as always, Commander Amman has passed the standard oral and written psych eval with our triggering any red flags. A part of me believes that she has simply studied the testing methodology and knows how to answer rather than answering honestly, but without an empathic or telepathic connection it is impossible to know. Polygraph, retinal flux and void-comp lie-detector tests have also returned inconclusive results. | |||
Lack of verifiable testing aside, Commander Amman is a most unusual person, though nothing in her past history or current demeanor suggests that she is in any way unstable. When I inquired about the constant pain from her right hand and wrist, she indicated that it does not bother her. I’ve conferred with Dr. Glenn and he assures me that such a pain level is highly intrusive and that it is impossible that she does not feel it, which leads me to believe that she has some sort of pain fetish or at the very least an exceptionally high pain tolerance. While unusual, it is insufficient to restrict the officer from active duty. | |||
Finally, Commander Amman consistently displays behavior that can only be described as odd. We’ve discussed the fact that in the 60 years she was in stasis most of the people she knew have grown old and died, but none of the expected signs of depression were present. If anything, she displays a Vulcan-like detachment from most normal human emotional responses, at least to the extent that I am able to determine through standard oral questioning. | |||
Commander Amman is cleared for active duty. | |||
