====Wil Ukinix==== | |||
Blake first encounters the [[Terran]] [[Betazoid]] hybrid [[Wil Ukinix]] in the ''Veritas''' Main Engineering, following their encounter with [[Jhalib Ekal]]. Blake eases tensions between Wil and Ekal when they cannot agree on which system to prioritise when the [[Temporal Integrity Commission]] threatens to sabotage the ship. Despite his being a relatively unknown entity, Blake tells Wil she vouches for Ekal, but asks him to tell her if he has objections to the time traveller being aboard. | |||
During her first meeting with [[Rivi Vataix]], Blake becomes privy to Betazed Noble House gossip when the Vataixes compare her relation to [[Aagan Eislas]] with the potential scandal of being related to the [[Ninth House of Betazed]]—and learns the family "Ukinix" was once the leading noble family of the House. Hoping Wil might have some insight regarding Betazoid noble politics, she calls and unintentionally becomes the first person to inform him of his connection to Betazoid royalty. Wil reveals he knew nothing about the connection, and jokes about needing a weekly "Betazoid royalty support group" to which Blake replies "If you intend to bring the alcohol, go right ahead." | |||
The two attend a royalty event at the Vataix estate while Blake is stationed away from ''Veritas''. Wil informs her that the crew misses her, and that she'd missed an interesting few months on the ship. | |||
When Blake returns to ''Veritas'' following the murder of Armin Illanos, she is called to the surface of [[Ketar V]] where Wil (along with [[Kelrod]] and [[Roshanara Rahman]]) has been arrested for an "incident" in a public place. She berates him for his attempt at resisting arrest by the CCMS, and that he was lucky Marshals didn't add to his racket—though Wil calls the charge absurd. When they are released and return to the ship, he apologises for his role in their arrest and thanks Blake for her role in retrieving them. Blake reminds him that should he end up in trouble again, she would be there to assist. She later becomes slightly agitated when Oshovir Ch'chileth refers to Wil as a "corrupt" officer. | |||

'''Ukinix:''' I feel like I need a night out. (Snapping fingers) Oh, reminds me, I thought of a joke! From the other day, about us being in a turbolift? “Three Betazoids walk into a turbolift. You think one of them would have sensed it.” | |||
'''Blake:''' You realise out of the three of us, I can't sense anything, right? Your joke falls flat on it's face. | |||
'''Ukinix:''' (Smiling) Ah, no it doesn’t! “You think *one* of them would have sensed it.” Just one is all that’s required. It’s like that song, “One out of three ain’t bad. | |||

Wil accidentally interupts a rather serious conversation between Blake and [[Rairen Caide]], inviting her to breakfast. She introduces him to the Ranger, and defends the man's cold tone during their conversation. She admits feeling guilty about Lukaik's death in Marshal custody, though Wil reassures her they all joined Starfleet to make things better, and that they all learn from their mistakes. They joke that he would would be a witness in the unlikely event she was ever brought to trial over the incident. | |||
When ''Veritas'' is pulled into "the Void", Blake encounters Wil in Sickbay following a ship-wide loss of power. Alongside [[Nic del Vedova]], they evacuate the crew to Cargo Bay 2 of the ship. Just as he attempts to leave, Wil zones out—a consequence of a telepathic conversation with [[Raissa Moonsong]]. Concerned for his well-being, Blake and del Vedova attempt to a slightly prone Wil to a safer area, but he recovers quickly—though keen eyes may note Blake was hesitant to release her supportive hold of him. | |||
Blake cares for Wil almost as if he were a younger brother (possibly influenced by their near-decade age difference). She finds his chirpy and occasionally clumsy attitude on the job particularly refreshing, his positive demeanour leaving an ongoing impact on the all-work-no-play Brekkazoid. Because of this, Blake may quickly jump to his defence when she deems necessary. She often encourages Wil to "be careful", worrying that his merry work ethic may one day prove his downfall. | |||
The two are contrasting representations of Betazoid hybrids: while Blake shies away from her heritage, Wil encourages her to have an open mind about it. His willingness to engage in telepathic conversation with other Betazoids leaves her slightly unsettled and concerned for his well-being. | |||

[[Zhou Tai-Sheng]] approaches Blake in an Ornaran bar in 2392 to recruit her as the ''Veritas'' strategic operations officer, having put pieces of conflicting reports and compiling everything surrounding Blake's status at the time together to find her in Bintac. Her academy record, final medical reports, and the occasional mention in another officer's log, coupled with her time spent on Ornara previously, were the slithers that made up her file. Unfamiliar with Ornara, Blake 'rescues' him from potentially poor choices of cuisine, and instead brings him back to her small apartment to discuss her duties aboard the ''Veritas'' where they remain for the night. When Brekka refuses ''Veritas'' entry into the Delos system to pick them up, they are forced to find other means of returning to the Starfleet vessel. She ultimately joins the crew on a provisional basis, much to the concern of a few members of the ship's senior staff. | [[Zhou Tai-Sheng]] approaches Blake in an Ornaran bar in 2392 to recruit her as the ''Veritas'' strategic operations officer, having put pieces of conflicting reports and compiling everything surrounding Blake's status at the time together to find her in Bintac.
