If Dr. Aquila Kiani had to be assigned an epitaph on her headstone, no man could argue against highlighting her ceaseless dedication to her profession. They would only be half right in doing so though, for despite her aloofness, there was a part of her that desperately wanted to be close to her family. She could be warm, kind and even loving at times, making these moments of vulnerably doubly cherished by those who loved her in turn - whether due to obligation or through some genuine unexplained fondness. | If Dr. Aquila Kiani had to be assigned an epitaph on her headstone, no man could argue against highlighting her ceaseless dedication to her profession.

Aquila was born in | Aquila was born in Georgetown, Guyana, but unlike most Terrans she was desperate to leave. She had always had a particular love for plant life, and when given the chance to train in Botany at the prestigious [[University of Betazed]], she hopped on the first liner off-world. This would mark the beginning of a long and storied career in the field. Culminating in the synthesis of a novel strand of food crop varieties which were particularly resistant to a myriad of climatic conditions and would regularly guarantee high yields. The breakthrough resulted in a marked improvement in quality of life for colonists with limited access to energy. For her work Aquila has been awarded multiple commendations and honours from various institutions. But, the closest to her heart remains the renaming of the Exrenitii Conservatory in Tarola'n to the Aquila Kiani Wildlife Sanctuary. | ||

* '''The Radical''': Relatively early during his course of study at the [[University of Betazed]] (perhaps his 4 or 5th semester) a young and impressionable Harrison Kiani, fell in with a group of [[Betazoid]] renegades. Fiercely opposed to a nationalist political organisation called the [[Guardians of Betazed]]. To this 'outfit' they were nothing more than "terrorists masquerading as patriots." Many of them had expressed an interest in joining Starfleet, and when Harry said he wished to do the same he was happily ushered into the group (there was also the matter of having to buy each member their round for a week - as a sort of 'joining fee'). One night, during the usual sessions of heavy drinking, they had decided to brand Harry, to make him a permanent fixture of the cause. Thus, half-conscious and not knowing where he was, Harry got his first and only tattoo. It was a strange symbol, parts of it felt familiar - like something he'd seen on important looking buildings that lined the central promenade. His compatriots thought it to be quite funny, but the looks that he'd gotten from the tattoo artist and some of the more timid hangers-on amongst the renegades, told him this was something about which the authorities would not have the same chipper attitude. | |||
