Marlee's past and how it effects the present
- Marlee was involved in the development of weather sensors which were used to detect ionic storms. A failure in these sensors led to the death of the family of the Mar symbiont's previous host. Marlee blamed herself until the day she died; Alleran carried a fair chunk of that guilt until his death.
- Marlee was part of the search and rescue team sent to locate the USS Ackerman. Alleran never found time to discuss that with Commander Whale, possibly out of guilt that the ship wasn't found.
- Marlee died alone and unloved, something that drastically affects Alleran Tan's behaviour towards potential partners. When he was courting Captain Sidney Riley, his fear about being left alone again caused him to push the relationship much faster than Sidney wanted to go. She ultimately broke it off with him, causing a significant amount of distress to the young Trill.
