<USS Avalon> "Remembering the Past" Commander Skyler

"Remembering the Past"
Written By:
Commander Skyler

         After Ensign Bailey left her office Skyler was extremely tired, both 
physically and mentally. It had been a stressful day. She had interviewed the 
new security officer and met the new replacement for Dr. Moreya and knew that 
she would have to talk to Georgia soon. 

         Skyler was concerned for Captain valQIS on the Allegiance and hoped 
that everything was going to work out okay. It would be a terrible loss to 
Starfleet if anything were to happen to valQIS Kat. She was one of the best 
officers that Skyler knew and she was honored to know her.

         Leaning back in her chair Skyler tried to remember the past on the 
Avalon - A, with Captain Ketchum and Cmdr valQIS as XO. valQIS was part Klingon 
and part Elasian. She was known for being a member of the High Guard during 
the time of Martok and was an expert in hand to hand combat as well as weapons. 
She was/is a proud woman, one who would refuse treatment even though it would 
relieve any pain that she was suffering. As CMO it took Skyler quite some 
time before valQIS would trust her and vice versa.

         Once that trust was obtained, it was difficult to break, however if 
broken it would be very difficult to regain again. valQIS was difficult to get 
to know and often kept to herself. She was most open with the Captain and it 
wasn't until the Captain was kidnapped that she let down her guard and let 
Skyler in just a little. Then when the Captain and valQIS were missing across 
and 
into the Romulan neutral zone, Skyler broke several laws to make sure that 
they were returned safely to the ship and to Starfleet command.

         Unfortunately, Skyler ended up on trial for breaking several 
Starfleet laws as well as Romulan laws. Without the support of Captain Ketchum 
and 
Cmdr valQis, Skyler would probably still be scrubbing potatoes or some strange 
thing like that. Instead, Skyler managed to get promoted, and assigned to the 
Avalon - B as the XO, and had the opportunity to return the favor and help to 
save Cmdr. valQIS.

         Skyler only hoped that they had arrived in time and that they would 
be able to rescue Captain valQIS and her crew. It was the least that Skyler 
could do for her considering all that valQIS had done for her. She had made 
Skyler a better officer and in some ways a better person. For that Skyler would 
be 
forever grateful.
