| Personal History | Tienn Iteela was born second to last of the Tienn family children, she was generally looked after by her elder siblings, same with her younger sister, Tienn Nerra. She and Nerra were twins, much like Ezas and Kerris but they had to deal with the endless fear of the Cardassians. She was present for the situation for the incident that nearly cost Tienn Ezas her dignity, a Cardassian wanted something that the young woman wasn't prepared to part with so she and their youngest was first to kill the guard in self-defense. Iteela was serving as the lookout. Needless to say, the entire Tienn family went into hiding, however, their mother was picked up and made to serve as a comfort woman for the Cardassians. For Tienn Iteela and her twin, Tienn Nerra. it was nothing short of a disaster as both girls were very close to their mother and without Tienn Jaina around, both girls felt like they had lost her forever, even when their father had reassured them otherwise. For Iteela, this created a serious anger management issue which would haunt her throughout her life. Neera too would have her own anger management issues but she instead went into the Marine corps, where she could work on it. When she came of age, she left home and enlisted in Starfleet, alongside her sisters as their brothers elected to remain home and help Bajor recover from years of systematic abuse at the hands of the Cardassians. Iteela went into medicine, hoping it would help her found an outlet for her rage, unfortunately, it did not as she went off to a civilian university for three bachelor's degrees in medicine. Her anger management issues followed her even here and she struggled with her issues while in her off hours at bars and parties. Iteela joined Starfleet in twenty-three eighty after watching the Dominion War and everything else that happened in the seventies while she was in school, high school and at university, the handsome Bajoran woman graduated fifteenth of a class of sixty-five students as a nurse and from there, Tienn joined Starfleet as a warrant officer and was assigned to the USS Carpathia which was an Akira class vessel, she attempted to it in among her mostly Bajoran crew and she did well. Iteela's service on this ship was noteworthy as she enjoyed her time here but four years later, before she was assigned to the USS North Star and she served here another two years before the destruction of this ship at the hands of a renegade Cardassian Galor class vessel which was destroyed itself by the fleeing evacuees from the North Star. This action stoked her rage and further fanned the flames of discontent that never truly faded within Iteela, rather than take the time off offered to her, she was posted to the USS Colossus, a newly commissioned Galaxy-class ship as one of their duty nurses and here, she flourished, earning herself a commission as an officer rather then a warrant officer. Through the late eighties, she was assigned to the Colossus before being posted to the USS Orlando, a Steamrunner class starship as their Chief Nurse. Unfortunately, it was here where everything came apart as the Chief Medical Officer was interested in her, she was not interested in him so he made his move and she punched him out for putting his hands in places where they should not go. It would cost her rank of Lieutenant JG and her promotion to Lieutenant and she would see herself be busted to Ensign for it. However what Tienn did not know was that the demotion was illegal as her rank should have been suspended and not stripped from her. Tienn found herself being punished by assignment to the USS Roanoke, she has remained here ever since, festering in her own dark rage and this has caused her trouble on the Roanoke in several fights. To make matters worse, she got into a fight on duty with one of her co-workers who was pregnant, except Tienn, overwhelmed and then beat the other woman to within an inch of her life. WEhat she didn't know was that her drink had been spiked with some anger-inducing drugs that were meant for her friend, Lt Commander Benice Gyce. Tienn got arrested and has since spent the last few days in a holding cell, pending the outcome of her Captain's Mast. A few days later the evidence needed to have the charges dismissed began to surface and while she was let off with the charges, she believed herself to be guilty as sin. This caused her to develop something of a measure of self-loathing. However she would continue to pay her own penance as she began writing a book about her experiences, life story and career in Starfleet, her thoughts and emotions all went into the book. Her relationship with Gyce Benice also flowered around this time when Gyce announced her intentions to court Iteela. Iteela felt that she was foolish as she didn't figure it out sooner but she decided not to push the other woman away. However before anything else could happen, she found herself stepping up to the line with the hanger deck fire. Manning the transporter station to enable an evacuation which saved hundreds of lives. But the system became damaged and she ended up choosing to make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that other people lived so she by choice was the last person out of the pod, before the forcefield fell and she was blown out into space. She looked around, unprotected from the vacuum of space while her body sailed out ahead of the USS Roanoke, but unfortunately, her eyes were damaged and her ears also were badly damaged during the incident. Her recovery was a few months longer in which her rank of Lieutenant JG was restored to her along with the Federation Medal of Honor for her heroics in the hanger deck fire, it was only because she had gotten desperate and she was determined to save as many as she could, even if it meant she would die in the process. This was something she was prepared to accept that she would die so others could live. What she was not expecting was that someone else on one of the nearby ships was able to grab her in a transporter beam and beam her back onto the Roanoke after having been blown out into space after the failure of the hanger forcefield. This is something she is slowly coming to terms with help from her friends and former enemies. Lieutenants Kameron and Elizabeth Yamaguchi were both able to bury the hatchet with her because of her heroics. Iteela had a very hard time coming to terms with this and it took several other Yamaguchi's including the head of the family Fleet Admiral April Yamaguchi herself to send Iteela a note via subspace that her heroics washed away her earlier crimes. JAG had dismissed all of the charges against her. Iteela did not accept the fact that everyone was ready to elevate her to sainthood so she still feels she has a penance to perform. Even Saki Yamaguchi has tried talking her out of it and has failed. However, all of this came to a screeching halt during a visit to the ship by a Federation Ambassador and a group of secret service agents who within two hours had managed to start a war between themselves and Roanoke's crew, who honestly wanted to kill them after all was said and done. Two hours later the body count was one dead, an Andorian nurse and Iteela herself had been disabled, with Gyce crippled and her recovery is expected to be long and brutal. Iteela's physical injuries were substantial but over the course of a week or so, they were healed with some Akurian medical technology but her mind needed some specialized help, so Iteela was transported to Vulcan for the assistance required. It took another week with several major mind-melds with a Vulcan healer, but in the end, however, Iteela was restored almost back to what she was, however, she has taken on a major Vulcan attitude towards life and her approach to work. Many things changed for Iteela almost overnight, she became much more pragmatic and logical, rather than wanting to work long hours, she now would work her normal shift but make time for herself for breaks and meals, where she never did before. Iteela's remaining time on the USS Roanoke was uneventful until the short war between the Klingons and the Gorn, which the Gorn requested Federation assistance. The Federation answered with a massive military response rather than talking things over. The conflict saw the destruction of the USS Roanoke and she was reassigned almost instantly to another posting. About the same time, Iteela found out that she had become pregnant with twins, also as she was reassigned, her good conduct earned a revision and ending of her ranks suspension and her rank of Lieutenant was restored as JAG had reviewed her case and found that her rank was removed illegally, the Captain had no cause to justify her demotion of two grades and thus, it was all expunged from her files. Her Lieutenant's rank time was restored to her. Iteela was reassigned to the USS Fall of Berlin as one of their medical officers. The father of her children went with her, the two have been working on their relationship and it had been a slow and steady thing between them. It was while she was serving here that Iteela finally earned her doctorate and could practice medicine as a full MD rather than remain as a nurse. Their service here was uneventful and a year later, in mid-2393, the two of them were reassigned to Starbase Vanguard along with many of Roanoke's former crew. She was also promoted to Lt Commander about the same time. About four weeks after Tienn's arrival on the Starbase, she was contacted and informed that her demotion had been illegal and that her service record could be corrected for her time in service and the nature of said service. Tienn reminded that about the incident on Roanoke with her beating up another person and that concern had been dealt with at the time. |
