V'Len Kel: Difference between revisions

While on shore leaving following the return from Okaea, V'Len struggled to overcome depression and anxiety associated with his new cardiac inducer.  Fortunately the former medical staff of the Thor rallied around him and he slowly got back to normal.  V'Len's hopes of putting the disagreement between he and Greaves behind them was shattered with the arrival of Ress Reiji, an Andorian advocate investigating the downing of the USS Thor.  The man seemed intent on embarrassing Greaves and V'Len was used as his instrument to do so.  V'Len was able to help someone, namely his good friend Ulasso who seemed to have picked up a straggler on Okaea.  The medical team discovered an anemone living in the saurian's nasal cavity.  The team was able to remove the unusual creature who seemed to exude psychogenic compounds which had been causing Ulasso to experience hallucinations.   

The USS Thor crew were finally transferred to the USS Oumuamua and departed for the gamma quadrant with V'Len now Chief Medical Officer.  Things seemed to have gone back to normal until, 3 months into the voyage, Greaves summoned Kel to his office with an unusual offer.  Greaves asked V'Len to act as XO while Commodore V'Airu was attending a diplomatic conference.  While acting as XO, V'Len made first contact with the Esse, a plant species who had journeyed for thousands of years to find a new home world.  V'Len briefly commanded the bridge, leading to the discovery of a second ship attached to the Esse vessel.  This vessel belonged to the Suclese who had been stealing sap from the hibernating Esse in order to stave off a degenerative disease their species had acquired.  With the Esse safely to their new home world, and Toz and Katsim working on a cure for the Suclese, V'Len was relieved to return to his sickbay.
