:Zhou met Ivanov in 2384 while she was stationed on Betazed. The two formed a close friendship, with her playful personality being a nice foil to Zhou's tendency to overthink and take things too seriously, especially in the wake of the separation with his wife. Ivanov is one of the few people with whom Zhou—or "Spot" as she likes to call him—feels able to truly relax and show his sillier side, and it was her enthusiasm that partly inspired Zhou to then join Starfleet himself after he completed his post-graduate training. The two kept in touch after Zhou left Betazed, and by 2387, Ivanov also returned to space upon her reassignment to the USS ''Pioneer''. | :Zhou met Ivanov in 2384 while she was stationed on Betazed.

* '''[[Jessop, Veralise|Veralise Jessop]]''': A human medic who was killed in action in 2387. | |||
:Zhou did not know Jessop well until the day she died. A medic assigned to the bridge, Jessop helped escort Zhou to sickbay for treatment of his injuries received during his first away mission. Along the way, a cascading decompression occurred near the traveling party, and Jessop sacrificed her life to save that of Zhou and the others. | |||
* '''[[Shelley, Fiona|Fiona Shelley]]''': A human physician who transferred from the USS ''Achilles''. | |||
:Zhou had initially reacted with contempt upon Shelley's arrival, feeling that one of the patients she had beamed aboard was taking resources away from the overwhelmed ''Independence'' medical staff. The two soon realized, however, that they were more alike than not, with similar views on Starfleet and medical priorities, especially after Zhou expressed his frustration at being told to attend a staff meeting when so many injured crewmen still needed medical attention. Later during [[Operation Bright Star]], Shelley, who had suffered her own tragedies, helped Zhou confront his doubts about his abilities to serve his shipmates, especially in the wake of Jessop's death. | |||
* '''[[Tan, Alleran|Alleran Tan]]''': A joined Trill pilot who transferred to the USS ''Independence'' on SD 238708.28. | |||
:Though the Tan symbiont already had the lifetime memories of a previous host, its current host Alleran was a young man in his late 20s. Tan quickly fell in love with his new commanding officer [[Riley, Sidney|Sidney Riley]]. Though they had met briefly at Zhou's promotion ceremony in sickbay, Tan did not interact with Zhou again until Riley suffered severe injuries from [[Operation Bright Star]]. Tan and Zhou clashed over Tan's insistence on being with Riley while she underwent surgery. Ironically, Tan, unaware of Zhou's physiological limitations, had initially wanted to designate Zhou as the next host for the Tan symbiont before their confrontation. Still, the two eventually began to form a friendship, with Zhou seeing much of his younger self in the spirited pilot. Unfortunately, when Tan and Riley's intense relationship ran aground during her recovery, Tan felt he could no longer remain onboard. Before he left the ''Independence'' he wrote letters to his fellow officers, including Zhou: | |||
::''Dear Zhou,'' | |||
::''You were my first choice for alternate host and I feel that it is a crime that you cannot experience what I have experienced. I will add one amendment to our conversation last night- I will be assisting with the Vaadwaur reconstruction on their newly settled planet and... I hope, in time, the physical rebuilding that I do on that place will help my mental rebuilding within myself.'' | |||
::''Since we discussed our plan, I feel as though I have been in grave error by not seeking you out earlier. I feel that we are more alike than we know, except... and I hope that I am not being presumptuous here... you are more like an older brother to me than a comrade on this ship. I will remember your advice, knowing that it will not lead me astray.'' | |||
::''You are wise beyond your years, Tenzin, and it would have been a great honour to call you Tenzin Tan... but you are destined for much greater things.'' | |||
'' | |||
::''Never forget to follow your heart in all of your dealings.'' | |||
::''-- Lt (jg) Alleran Tan'' | |||
* '''[[Sasak]]''': A Vulcan physician who had attempted to save [[Jessop, Veralise|Veralise Jessop]]'s life after the [[Thetis]] AI had beamed the crewman onto the USS ''Achilles''. | |||
