::2388, October 31st: Alleran Tan is near-fatally wounded aboard the USS Independence-A, saved only by the intervention of Ensign [[Velana]], who prevents the consciousness of his host being transferred to the symbiont via the use of a mind-meld. Comatose, Alleran's body is dispatched to medical Starbase 235 and, just in case, is prepared for symbiont transfer. Despite the gravity of his injuries, Velana's treatment works; but upon waking, Alleran learns that his injuries prevent him from re-qualifying on fighters. | |||
::Specifically, his heart suffered severe damage when his mirror universe duplicate shot him. It's a unique quirk of Trill physiology that, sometimes, damage to the heart results in a neurological issue where the heart's muscle degenerates and doesn't respond well to treatment. Recovery is possible, but prolonged; for the next six months Alleran experienced bouts of fatigue, nausea, weakness and dizzy spells. | |||
::The surgeons at Medical Starbase 235 determine that, in three months, there's a good chance he'll recover 70% of his former fitness. Long term, over the next year, he may recover up to 80%. | |||
::In addition to being unable to fly fighters, his request to return to the [[Independence-A]] in any capacity is personally denied by [[Riley, Sidney|Sidney Riley]], a decision that robs him of his home, his career, and his dignity. | |||
