| Personal History | Most of Lia's childhood she was in a catatonic coma due to a genetic abnormality that had her Telepathic ability turned on when she was born. She was abandoned and found by local authorities on Quazulu VII and was labeled LIA, Lost Infant Abandoned, by the Medical staff at the hospital. On December 8, at the age of 10, Lia emerged for her coma. When she awoke she had been transferred to a pediatric hospital on Betazed that specialized in children with her condition. The two physicians assigned to her case, Doctors Elison Circe and Alexi Klein were the closest things to parents to her that her name was in their honor. Her development both mentally and physically was remarkable that she was already meeting, if not succeeding most of the milestones of her age. Lia quickly embraced the society and environment of Betazed and even enrolled in school and became more social than before. In 2374, at the age of 15, Lia took and successfully passed the Starfleet Entrance Examination. When she was preparing to leave for Earth at the end of the year, the Dominion conquered Betazed. The Dominion Occupation of Betazed lasted for only seven months however much happened to Lia in those months. The Dominion instituted curfews and many of the populations were put into labor camps. Dr. Circe was killed when he joined the resistance, and she was separated from Dr. Klein. During the occupation, Lia used her telepathic abilities to help the resistance learn about troop movements and other tactical information that lead to successful strikes against the Dominion occupiers. When the Federation reclaimed Betazed, Lia felt a new sense of purpose. Not to take anything for granted and to embrace life. Following the attack, she volunteered to help at the local hospitals. Most of her time was spent in the recovery ward, sampling listening to the patients allowing them to express themselves and then offering comforting reassurance that everything will be ok. Sometimes a mere touch helped relax them. It was from that moment on, Lia knew she wanted to be a Counselor. A year later in 2376 she was accepted into the summer psychological program sponsored by the University of Betazed on Starbase 293 and earned a certificate of excellence from the program. The program left her feeling unchallenged, and unsure if a career in Psychiatry is what she wanted to do. By the fall of 2382 she was accepted into Starfleet Academy and majored in diplomacy and psychology and due to some persuasion of her peers minored insecurity. She also took courses in basic leadership and one semester of field medics. During her second year at the academy, she and a few of her classmates were participating in a holodeck away team simulation. This simulation was to test the under classmate in security and combat skills. Lia was well prepared, however, what her instructor was impressed with was not how she handled the hand-to-hand combat but how Lia handled aiding a fallen comrade who needed minor medical care. After the simulation, the professor approached her suggesting she would make a better career decision to change her minor from security to medical. After weeks of thinking it over, Lia took her professor’s advice and switched her minor. Lia graduated at the top of her class in 2386 and was quickly offered an assigned as Diplomat’s Aid to the Diplomatic attaché to the Darsaean Alliance. Just as quickly she was offered she accepted. A year with the attaché was an overall dull experience for Lia. Most of the time was spent being a glorified assistant to the assistant of the Diplomatic officer. She spent most of her time collecting data on local government officials that visited the compound and the local population. The Intelligence officer was impressed with her database and recruited her to join him on his new assignment on Starbase 723. In the early year of this assignment, Lia found the work to be enriching, even fun. However, the old stonewalling slowly made itself apparent when the station's chief of intelligence clung to his position, rejecting transfers and promotions in favor of remaining on the ship. Indirectly, this action locked Lia in the deputy position with no opportunity for advancement. This led her to investigate the possibility of going undercover in the field. In 2385, her request to go undercover was granted. Lia excelled undercover, amassing useful data for the Federation. While most of her missions were successful, that luck didn't hold. In 2389 a Ferengi informant betrays her to the Orion Syndicate and she was taken to one of their outposts. She was stripped of her communicator and its universal translator, depriving her of the ability to protest the treatment. Intrigued by her admittedly unusual heritage, their scientists began to experiment on her, looking to see what type of being she was. Lia learned she was immune to most toxins via the experiments. She spent several weeks in captivity, with multiple rounds of experimentation, before she was extracted by an infiltration team. The nightmare was over and despite her protest, Starfleet recalled her from the field and placed her behind the desk at Starfleet HQ doing more light duty. In 2390 eager to get back out on the field, a positioned opened up on the USS Galileo and she quickly applied. She served on the Galileo for one year before she was reassigned to the USS Dreamcrusher as their Chief Intelligence Officer, She served here for the better part of two years before she was promoted and sen to Vanguard to become their Chief Communications officer in a department that was recently resurrected, she was the first choice for a new department. |
