|BLURB= Whether she’s piloting a shuttle into a hazardous situation, or taking advantage of DS26’s copious bar facilities, there isn’t a dry moment with Na’lae Mandak. Her writer, Brian, is one of the more experienced members of the crew, and it shows through with his excellent character development. His ability to detail a scene beautifully is recognized with the Nebula Bar, and her recent acquisition of the Pilot’s Sextant- one of the coveted Duty Post Awards- speaks to her commitment and skill, both within the sim and without. | |||

Thank you to Brian for agreeing to answer a few questions that will allow us to get to know the player behind Lieutenant JG Mandak a little better!: | |||
'''<font color="#350069">Who or what gave you the urge to join StarBase 118, and more specifically, the intelligence department?</font>''' | |||
When I first joined the fleet some time ago, I came out of academy as an intelligence officer and was assigned to the Starbase. Coming back after a couple year hiatus, it just felt fluid to go back into Intel. As the rules seemed a bit different now, there was a short waiting period to get back into the role that I know and love. Intel has it's draw for the fact that your PC must be useful in many areas in order to be a successful spook. It's always been fun to write like that. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">hat do you love most about this community?</font>''' | |||
It would be hard to pick one thing to love. Just it's simple existence is astounding. I explain to people I work with what this is, and how long it's been around, and show them the wiki database, and jaws drop. All done via email. And IRC before that. This is just something I've loved since submitting my original application, and what things are conducive, I just can't wait to get back to it. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">Which StarBase 118 character would you most like to meet in real life?</font>''' | |||
I don't even think he's a member of the Federation anymore, but my original mentor, the man I sent my first sim to, Talis Rhul. He was a captain at the time, and was the leader of my academy class. He guided me through this thing we call PbEM. I've just always had a large respect for those who teach. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">Na'Lae is a Rekarian. What lead you to chose that species??</font>''' | |||
The answer to this one might be more simple really. I just had never heard of Rekarians, and there wasn't too terribly much about them in the wiki (albeit it was full at the same time). Not to mention, I saw no other Rekarians on the roster. I'm not real big into being characters that aren't humanoid. Not sure why, the idea just never really grew on me I suppose. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">What advice do you have for new players?</font>''' | |||
Invest in your OOC relations with your shipmates. Some great and long friendships can come from this sort of thing! | |||
'''<font color="#350069">What piece of Star Trek technology would you most like to see today?</font>''' | |||
Oh without a doubt, warp, and the things needed to make that happen. Space travel is something I'll never get to see. That's part of the reason we do this is it not? Then again, the idea of the world finally working together for one common goal sounds good too. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">What drew you to Star Trek in the first place?</font>''' | |||
My father used to watch this stuff when I was a kid, and I ended up watching TNG almost every night while I was a kid as well. I'm in the TNG generation, but I love all things space culture. | |||
'''<font color="#350069">What are you passionate about (outside of simming of course?</font>''' | |||
My daughter means the world to me, and is any of the reason I do anything. As far as hobbies go, I don't have time for many outside of EMS, but I enjoy cooking, playing bass, PCGAMING!!!! | |||
