Ayelet Kadosh: Difference between revisions

Ayelet Kadosh is a confident woman who speaks with a slight Hebrew accent, though it becomes a bit more pronounced when she is excited. Despite the hardships she endured during the [[Vaadwaur occupation]], she remains resilient and upbeat. She prides herself on her composure, dignity, and professionalism, and during the occupation, her fellow insurgents called her their shining light in those darkest of hours. Maintaining these traits are especially important to her because she had promised to her friend [[Brockton, Jennifer|Jennifer Brockton]] that she would always stay the strong person that Brockton knew her as. Ultimately, Brockton did not survive to see Starfleet's liberation of the station. Although Kadosh was promoted for her actions during the occupation, she does not like to discuss what happened to those outside of the insurgency.

Kadosh was assigned to [[Deep Space 17]]'s medical department in 2385, where she worked for the next three years. During that time, she lived through the Grendellai and Ixvapyan bombings in 2386 and was present when the station was captured by the Vaadwaur in 2387 during the [[Second Battle of Eratis]]. When the particular medical facility she'd been working in was overwhelmed by Vaadwaur, several of the doctors and nurses were slaughtered outright by the soldiers. Kadosh and a few others were kept alive to take care of the captured prisoners during the [[Vaadwaur Occupation]].

One of the Vaadwaur guards, however, developed an uncomfortable interest in Kadosh. Though she was prepared to defend herself, she was fortunately rescued by [[Bakari, Msafiri|Msafiri Bakari]], who delivered a rather brutal end to the guard. Bakari took her back to his holdout where he and a handful of Federation personnel hid and planned an insurgency. Week by week, they did their best to stall the Vaadwaur's progress, but they were outnumbered and outmatched. Many of the insurgents did not survive to see Starfleet retake the station through [[Operation Bright Star]].

Following the recapture of DS17, Kadosh was promoted from ensign to lieutenant junior grade in recognition of her service to her fellow officers during the station's occupation. As acting chief medical officer of DS17, she worked with ''Independence'' CMO Doctor [[Zhou, Tenzin|Tenzin Zhou]] to handle medical duties on the station, which included providing medical response to a riot on the promenade in response to the remaining Vaadwaur on the station.

When the ''Independence'' returned to DS17 thereafter, Kadosh was introduced to Zeet Tidari, a marine medic and pilot. She also reunited with her fellow Vaadwaur occupation survivor Bakari, but Bakari's animosity towards the ''Independence'' crew, stemming from the latter's accusations of sabotage by someone on DS17, created new friction between Bakari and Kadosh, which they eventually overcame.
