At the age of ten, Aresee experienced a particularly bout of mania, broke some school property, and injured two other children. In the aftermath of the "Playground Incident," three pediatric specialists examined her and discovered that she had been misdiagnosed as a young child and actually suffered from genetic hypercyclothemia, a rare, recessive, but also very major form of bipolar disorder. Aresee's medical and counseling therapies were adjusted accordingly, but the incident left her embarrassed and withdrawn, and she was home-schooled for the next eight years. | At the age of ten, Aresee experienced a particularly bout of mania, broke some school property, and injured two other children.

With her previous work behind her, Aresee was fairly certain what she wanted to do, and so she set out to do it. By 2382, she had finished her studies at Starfleet Academy and graduated as an ensign, but she had also found time to obtain a doctorate in psychiatry. Her friends were few and far between, as her old allies were long gone, but she made it to her final trial run, a holo-cruise from Starbase 118 aboard the ''USS Centris'', in August of 2382. | With her previous work behind her, Aresee was fairly certain what she wanted to do, and so she set out to do it.

Her friends were few and far between, as her old allies were long gone, but she made it to her final trial run, a holo-cruise from Starbase 118 aboard the ''USS Centris'', in August of 2382. | ||
===Early Starfleet Career=== | |||
===='''Victory'''==== | |||
Aresee's first assignment was to the ''[[USS Victory]]'', just as that ship was [[Government (Victory)|ordered to Tanuga IV]]. Aresee was assigned as counselor and medical assistant on a planetary triage team, there to assist the coup-torn planet. In the course of her duties, she was abducted by entities unknown. Despite deep-mind probes and many hours of meditation, she is currently uncertain what happened while she was a hostage. | |||
Aresee was rescued by a team from the ''Victory'' and returned to the ship's Sickbay. There, she spent several weeks off-duty and in technologically-induced resting periods, regaining her health. | |||
The ''Victory'''s next mission took the crew to the border of the [[Trinity Sector]], near both [[Romulan]] and [[Klingon]] space. The goal of the mission was to recover a platoon of marines whose ship had, officially, "wandered off course" and ended up near the (officially) abandoned Romulan Celipentha Station. Disguised as a Romulan, Aresee assisted the command crew in infiltrating the base, which had been reactivated by the Tal Shiar. The unexpected arrival of Aresee's mother complicated the situation, and the Starfleet teams were barely able to escape with their lives. | |||
Then-Lieutenant Ventu was offered her first chance at command when the ''Victory'' suffered a total power failure in June 2383, stranding the command staff in different areas of the ship. | |||
During the ''Victory'''s next mission, Aresee was assisting with the transport of several [[Bajoran]] diplomats when the ''Victory'' became a temporal battlefield, playing host to a variety of factions from a number of time periods. Aresee herself was "phased out" of temporal sync by a temporal agent named [[Trenet, Aurelie|Aurelie Trenet]], though she enlisted the help of her captain, [[Phoenix, Robin|Robin Phoenix]], to resolve the situation. | |||
===='''Constitution''''==== | |||
With the '''Victory''''s decommissioning and her own promotion to lieutenant commander, Aresee was assigned to the '''Constitution''' as second officer. Her first and only mission there involved the colony world Angel One, and its petition for Federation membership. While the negotiations took place, Aresee had the unexpected task of rebuffing a terrorist invasion of the '''Constitution'''. | |||
Also aboard the '''Constitution''', Aresee was reunited with Nick Parks, now a lieutenant in the sciences division. They re-kindled their relationship during the '''Constitution''''s shore leave to Risa, just in time for Aresee's next transfer to be made permanent: She had impressed her superiors and was being moved to the '''USS Triumphant'''. | |||
===Later Starfleet Career=== | |||
===='''Triumphant'''==== | |||
During the transfer period, Aresee decided to use her middle name as her given name, and so asked her new crew to begin referring to her as "Lily." She and Nick transferred as executive officer and chief of operations, respectively. | |||
The '''Triumphant''' was sent by Starfleet to open trade negotiations with the [[Free Trade Union]] at its base of operations, the [[Asterospolis]]. The political mission involved a lot of alliances and betrayals, as well as the tyrant Brol Isak and his modified [[Dominion]] battlecruiser. Nearly half the crew was lost or incapacitated in the resultant battles, including the '''Triumphant''''s captain, [[Rhys Bejain]], and forcing Lily, Nick, and Lieutenant, junior grade [[Reynolds, Quinn|Quinn Reynolds]] into the command posts. | |||
==== | Although they overcame Isak, the negotiations were eventually a failure and the '''Triumphant''' decommissioned shortly after its mission due to the damage it had sustained during its mission. | ||
===='''Independence'''==== | |||
Lily was transferred to the '''USS Independence''' as that ship's chief of medicine and counselor, and later acting first officer. Aboard the Independence, she continued to serve with Quinn and met her cousin, Doctor [[Reynolds, Hayden|Hayden Reynolds]], the man she would eventually marry. | |||
Lily's first mission of note was a mission of aid to the [[TE-IV]] colony world, which quickly turned into a terrorist/hostage situation. The most memorable part for Lily was being stranded alone with a gravely injured Quinn, and being forced to care for her until help came. | |||
Later that year, Lily and the '''Independence''' were flung across the galaxy by an unstable wormhole without their commanding officer, chief of medicine, or security chief, forcing Lily and Hayden into the places of first officer and medical chief, respectively. The '''Independence''' successfully made a few first contacts before getting itself home, and the results of the unexpected mission had been so favorable that the '''Independence''''s current executive officer, [[Riley, Sidney|Sidney Riley]] was given her own ship, and Lily was assigned as her first officer. | |||
===='''Tiger'''==== | |||
The '''Tiger''''s first mission, in which it encountered the [[Reapers]], was an unqualified disaster. Nearly one-third of the crew perished when the Reapers attacked, and it was only thanks to the quick assistance of the newly-discovered [[Avor]] race that the ship was not destroyed. | |||
During the '''Tiger''''s layover and refit, Lily finally married Hayden Reynolds, and also requested a period of leave to attend a counseling conference on [[Betazed]]. The conference turned into a first contact scenario when a non-human race named the [[Senmeten]] initiated contact with the group, which included a number of telepaths. | |||
==== | Just after the conference and her return to the '''Tiger''', Lily discovered that she was pregnant, and it was this discovery that led her to request a transfer to [[Starbase 118]]. | ||
====Starbase 118==== | |||
Lily and Hayden moved to Starbase 118, and Lily took up a job as diplomatic attaché to the region in the hope that it would be primarily a desk job. Although it was, ostensibly, it was barely a few weeks after she'd given birth to [[Ventu, Rhys|her son]] that she was ordered back to duty to deal with a major event, a mysterious Klingon pandemic and the visitation of a Klingon opera company. When an opera star was murdered, Quinn was arrested for the crime and Lily and Hayden were both part of the team that went to rescue her. | |||
Following the rescue, Lily was assigned as temporary CO to the '''USS Prospero''' for a series of war games with the '''USS Crazyhorse'''. During the course of the games, Lily and her crew were captured by a group of alien extremists who had taken over the homeworld of a gas giant species called the Lysandro. With Lily's team's help, the Lysandro were able to defeat their attackers, and Lily and her team were subsequently rescued. | |||
At the crew's leave on [[Vulcan]], Admiral [[Rocar]] of Starbase 118 announced that he was promoting Lily to commander, and that he had chosen her to succeed him as commanding officer. Lily's first task as CO was to answer the growing threat of the Klingon disease. She dispatched Ambassador [[Sharee, Delinda|Delinda Sharee]] to the Klingon Empire while she and new-FO Quinn Reynolds dealt with a species-jumping disease variant on the starbase itself. | |||
