==History== | |||
In 2395, Ekal completed small work on [[Star Station Esperance]], and literally bumped into [[Sky Blake]] on a station turbolift. Convinced he looked familiar, she asks if they'd met before, though he claims to merely have worked behind the bar of the officer's lounge aboard the {{USS|Ronin}}. Though he wasn't told of her destination, he tells Blake to "enjoy the wedding" of [[Mei'konda]] and [[Evan Delano]].<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/ZFosmtOJ6aI/YEE2f_GqAwAJ ''"Something about those eyes."''], LtCmdr S.Blake, {{USS|Veritas}}, SD 239504.03</ref> | In 2395, Ekal completed small work on [[Star Station Esperance]], and literally bumped into [[Sky Blake]] on a station turbolift.

Ekal was later seen aboard the SS ''Rowena'' as it dropped two Starfleet officers back to Kidman I after rescuing them from a malfunctioning escape pod, performing minor upgrades to the freighter's sensor equipment. He would be asked by the freighter's captain to take apart the escape pod.<ref>[[Sky Blake/"Kidman I"|''"Kidman I"'']], LtCmdr S.Blake</ref> | Ekal was later seen aboard the SS ''Rowena'' as it dropped two Starfleet officers back to Kidman I after rescuing them from a malfunctioning escape pod, performing minor upgrades to the freighter's sensor equipment. When asked, he claims to the ''Rowena'''s captain that he is from [[Rigel V]], though opted to leave the [[Rigel system]] due to ongoing and heated political debates regarding the [[Kalar]]. He would be asked by the freighter's captain to take apart the escape pod, simply shrugging at [[Tristam Core]]'s insistence that the process may not be worth the work.<ref>[[Sky Blake/"Kidman I"|''"Kidman I"'']], LtCmdr S.Blake</ref> | ||
On Star Station Esperance in 239508, Ekal would meet with [[Roshanara Rahman]] and Mei'konda to individually restore their memories of a premature trip to the {{USS|Veritas}}, claiming to be with the Department of Temporal Investigations - and providing documentation to prove it.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/auFQhaJ5yJo/gJDQ5sMADwAJ ''"New Old Memories"''], Cmdr Mei'konda, {{USS|Veritas}}, SD 239508.16</ref> Though he fails to explain the reasoning to Mei'konda, he separately admits to Rahman that the two had perhaps caught a glimpse of something vital to an investigation he was undertaking when they inadvertently entered a second temporal anomaly on their return trip to the {{USS|Mercury}}. He asks Rahman to describe a battle between Starfleet and Tholian factions, specifically asking whom fired first - though the answer she provides (being a Starfleet quantum torpedo) causes him disappointment. Before she can further ask about the investigation, Ekal vanishes.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/SiJCqdKf0JY/hccpa4HBAAAJ ''"Eyewitness" Part 2''], Cpt R.Rahman & J.Ekal, {{USS|Veritas}}, SD 239508.20</ref> | |||
==Appearance== | |||
Despite the strange timing of his appearances, Jhalib Ekal is an otherwise unremarkable, middle-aged, vulcanoid Rigelian, possibly holding a [[Bajoran]] relation (given his minor nose ridge). He is described by many as being of medium height with a wiry build, sporting a thick head of short and curly brown hair, wearing clean and crisp clothing. To the common passers-by, his eyes are a generic brown and are nothing overly special - however, they [[Sabor|look oddly familiar]] for a certain few. | |||
The nature of his position within the Department of Temporal Investigations is not made clear, but Ekal carries equipment some would generally find out of the norm. For a day and age when finding the time and stardate was as simple as asking a computer, Ekal instead wears a bulky chronometer on his wrist. He has also been encountered twice carrying a medical kit, one of the instruments within being used to restore a few weeks worth of initially suppressed memories within Roshanara Rahman and Mei'konda. | |||
Ekal seems capable around starship equipment, assisting a civilian crew with minor upgrades to their sensors so to combat the tetryon interference of the [[Shoals]] when off the [[Mother Road]], and unfazed with being asked to strip a battered escape pod for parts. However, though often times he is alert, ready and waiting, he has on certain occasion noted to seem dazed or 'out of sorts' - though these small episodes last only for a short period of time, and the Rigelian quickly returns to his usual wide-eyed self. | |||
