Appearance
| Height | 1.7m/5' 7" | |
| Weight | 92.6Kg/204.2 lbs | |
| Physical Description | Measurements: 36D 27 40 Hair: Blonde Hair, to midpoint of back Eyes: Grey Eyes (Verticle slit during bright light, full open in dim light, like a Terran Fox or Cat) Fur Coloration: Orange coloration, White front, throat, Under muzzle and cheeks going to throat, Arms, legs, tail, dark grey forearms, hands, ankles and feet. Tail is orange coloration with white tip. Typical Vulpienrey Body demarcation zones for changes in fur color. Single dark grey marking on muzzle along with dark grey ear tip markings. Other: Vulienrey have retractable climbing claws on hands and feet. They typically wear gloves with between finger openings as well as open toed footwear or footgear with permeable membranes for use of claws for climbing and fighting. Medical Information Age: Vulienrey age at a rate of 0.54 years compared to Terrans. 1 Year Vulienrey = 1.85 Year Terran. They can live upwards to 150 Anararhs (277.5 Terran Years). They mature at a faster rate than Terrans when comparing Anararhs = Terran year, however, when comparing actual aging between Vulienrey and Terran, they mature slower. Typical Maturity ages are: Kitling (child) 0 - 8 Anararhs, Adolescent Years 8 to 12 Anararhs, Young Adult 12 - 49 Anarahs, Middle Aged Adult 50 - 90, Senior Adult 90 - EOL (up to 150). This corresponds to a Terran Year versus a Vulrienrey Year: Kitling - 0.6154, Adolescent - 0.667, Young Adult - 1.25, Middle Age and on - 1.5. Height: The racial norms are similar as for Terrans in range minus three inches. However, the female Vulienrey range is taller than the Terran female range. This corresponds to: Vulienrey typical male height is from 5'1" to 6' 3". Shorter and taller can happen, but are atypical. Vulienrey typical female height is from 4'7" to 6' 0". Shorter and taller can happen, but are atypical. Weight: It was discovered that the Vulienrey Race is similar plus 20% to the weight/height ratio the ideal ratio of Weight to Height for Terran Bodybuilders. It is speculated that the heavy G as well as the races habit of being tree dwellers account for the density of the musculature and bone structure. Typical Maturity ages are: Kitling (child) 0 - 8 Anararhs, Adolescent Years 8 to 12 Anararhs, Young Adult 12 - 49 Anarahs, Middle Aged Adult 50 - 90, Senior Adult 90 - EOL (up to 150) Body Structure: The race has the similar humanoid appearance of most races, with the exceptions being an elongated muzzle, large ears as a canninoid or felinoid race, balancing and gripping tail, along with retractable climbing claws. There are several bone growths not found in many humanoid races due to the unusual internal organ arrangement. Skin: The race has thicker skin in most areas to support their dense to light fur growing over their bodies. The race has similar markings and fur types as the Red Foxes of Earth, however, many types of variations for markings and colors can occur. Senses: Vuliendrey have the typical humanoid senses plus vibration sense. Their eyes see partway into the ultraviolet and infrared spectrums which helps them track each other in the tree road at night. Their sense of hearing is acute, which can be a detriment if not having been exposed to loud combat noises or other blares of sounds. They sense of smell is more acute than many humanoids, but not as acute as other canniniod races. Their sense of taste is heightened due to their sense of smell. Whiskers: There are whiskers on the muzzle not only used for sensing vibrations and passage size, these whiskers are used to convey emotions in the rather complicated to follow L'Tandrey speech patterns (Vuliendrey take after L'Tandrey social speech), with familial and colloquial changes occurring according to region. There are also small vibration and touch sensing whiskers in the fur of the wrist, ankles, and end along the top of the tail from root to tip. This sensing is for near detection, especially when rapidly transversing trees and moving around and through branches as well as tracking nearby movements. Tail: One use for the tail is for used for poise and balance as would be expected in Tailed races. Another use is in communication with others as movements are used to accentuate, diminish during speech, show humor, show emotional state, and other relegated communications during speech. Musculature: Vuliendrey have a dense musculature with extra bands of muscles to aid in organ protection, tail use, and rapid bursts of strength for tree and rock climbing. Internal Organs: Vuliendrey have three lungs, two hearts, and two livers besides the normal organ accompaniment of humanoid races. This internal structure supports going into the super dense atmospheric areas of their planet as well as going into the thin air of very high areas as well as the drop off of gravity. Reproductive Organs: The sexual differences are on par with the majority of Mammalian Humanoid Races, as in two sexes. As a furred species, the fur becomes very silky and short near the genitals/nipples, disappearing altogether next to the reproductive organs. Females have the typical two breast arrangement with associated vaginal/intestinal lower arrangement, with the internals similar to Terran females except for the following differences: One, there are extra muscles transversing the abdominal cavity around the internal vaginal organ. These muscles allow for sensing and gripping their partner for coaxing more semen from the male besides giving pleasure to the female. Two, there is a third rectal chamber that seems to be a defense against parasites and invertebrates of their world. This chamber produces an antibacterial and anti-parasite mucous which also has other unusual properties, which will not be delved into further for this introduction to the female reproductive physiology. Males have similar external reproductive organs as other humanoids, except, the following differences: They have 4 testicles and a larger prostate, with a faster sperm and semen production and greater storage capacity as the culture is one of many females to one male mating structure. Psionics: The race, while seeming like the L'Tandrey, do not share that races psionic ability of Awareness sense. The Vulienrey have the more typical abilities of Telekineses and Telepathy, which are tied to their physicality. They can have other abilities, but those are rare among them. Their Telepathic range is usually less than 100 meters and Telekinetic Range at line of sight out to Telekinetic range. Telekinetic mass lifted is dependent upon range, and seems to be a max of what they can comfortably lift.

Personality
| Personality Overview | ---------------------------------------------------------- General information ----------------------------------------------------------- She is fun loving and curious, gregarious but yet tempered in her outgoing nature by the reactions of other races of her physiology. Still, this does not stop her from initiating contact and having a good sense of humor. She loves helping others, besides solving puzzles and problems. In her culture, there are acquaintances and friends, not friends and best friends. Once friends are earned, she is very devoted to them as they become part of her 'extended' family. Also, she is an insufferable romantic and loves going out on dates. She greatly enjoys reading Sherlock Holmes and Tarzan, following each for their quirks and enjoying holodeck adventures with both. She has a very solid devotion to duty and to the crew on whatever ship she is serving. She believes in always doing her best, knowing that circumstances can come about where even your best is not good enough. There will be that scenario where she will not survive, but she will face it doing the best she can, and in doing so live. As a minority race in the Federation, and one of the few with psionic abilities, she works towards overcoming others reactions to her so that she might find out more about them. The differences between cultures makes them interesting to explore and see what is similar, and what is different, which intrigues her. As a very good looking anthro Vixen, she attracts many who want to 'date' her, but some then shun her when they find out she is telepathic and telekinetic. Still, even being psionic, she has had several males of several species who were aroused by her appearance and exoticness who pursue her (especially by what is heard through the underground about her race, Vixens from the L'Tandrey Protectorate are pursued for the black-market sex-slave trade.) This was mostly on Existence Point Planet in the Federation Territories. Dislikes: Convoluted Social Rituals, Those without Honor and Respect, Racial Disparity ----------------------------------------------------------- Hobbies and Interests ----------------------------------------------------------- Hobbies: Astronomy: Urvasi views Astronomy as an expression of underlying curiosity about time, seasons, and ourselves for who we are in the universe. Getting to those stars, finding the paths to enjoy the journey to new stars, as well as existing ones with friends and possible friends, to know where in relation you are to your homeworld and your friend(s) homeworld, is priceless. Of course, finding the quicker path if possible to get there before others is always a bonus. Flying: Big or small, she loves taking a ship out among the cosmos to enjoy the depths of the local space is always a joy. However, as situations are not always civil, to also push a ship to its limits to understand what and how it can do before a situation occurs that requires the knowledge to know what and how the ship can perform is always a bonus. Many hours in the simulator are enjoyed. L'Tandrey T'Ritua Martial Arts: She loves practicing her particular martial arts style. It is quick and efficient. It takes into account her natural claws and tail, while also including her tree road experience and dancing ability. It allows use of her favorite Melee Weapons. As this improves endurance, toughening the body, as well as quick actions and reactions, it fits into being a member of the Navigation/Flight team. Dancing: She loves Vulienrey Folk dancing. The lithe dancing that seems a combination of acrobatics, belly dancing, and couples advanced dancing appeals to her and her sense of desiring accomplishment in a task well done. When dancing with others, she does her best to put them at ease and perform the 'female's' dance role around them so they can feel proud about dancing with her. Musical Instrument: Her choice is the 12 string guitar. So many beautiful harmonies can be pulled out of having those 12 strings, along with the guitar itself becoming a percussion instrument with the harmonics and dis-harmonics of the strings and vibrations inter-playing. She secretly loves some of the ballads for that instrument as she can feel the vibrations with her vibration sensing whiskers, and sometimes, well, she greatly enjoys the effects. Unusual spots to Hike: As she grew up in the tree road on her homeworld, as well as rock climbing, she loves to find spots to see if she can find other tree roads. Of course, many times it is just weaving through the limbs and brush as quickly as possible as the 'trees' she finds are so scrawny. However, the holodeck makes up for that. Dense Atmospheric Surfing: This is a sport she loved on Nestranstra III, her homeworld. The gravity being 1.8 with deep valleys meant air currents and denseness almost a third of water, meaning a well tuned hover board with only gliding capabilities coupled with a sail meant a great thrill of riding the 'waves'. There are clubs dedicated to the sport. She did do re-entry surfing on Existence Point, but it isn't the same. Damage Control Extras: Control systems. She received training and trained herself to be able to repair as well as bypass control panels attached to the flight control systems, which in turn allowed her to perform those tasks on other auxiliary panels. She has taken time to dismantle then put back together a navigation and flight control panel just so she would not panic and know what to do in case of an emergency. Interests: Clothing and jewelry: When off duty, she likes to wear loose fitting blouses and skirts. She enjoys wrist bracelets, ankle bracelets, and jewelry tail wraps of thin spring platinum wire. She likes to wear boots, but those boots have areas for her foot claws to come out when she extends them. She loves shopping for clothing styles that accentuate her femininity while also allowing her freedom of movement. As a furred race, she tends to make sure 'tight' clothing is not so tight as to press the fur into her skin, the fur needs to have airflow along it to wick away sweat, especially along the typical sweat paths for humanoid sentients. When shopping alone or with others, she looks for jewelry that compliments without being showy for the outfit and occasion she is vying for. Cocktail Mixology: She is dabbing in Mixology. She loves trying new tastes, even though she does get many a disaster. Still, it is fun trying as well as learning the classics. Tarzan of the Apes: These story books remind her so much of home. There are the dangers, the large trees, the strength feats, all of which are nostalgia and sometimes she sets herself up on the holodeck just to get over home sickness. Her inner desire is to find someone like Tarzan who she can relate to and pursue. Right now, the holodeck adventures is getting her through. Sherlock Holmes: She greatly enjoys reading through those detective books and trying to figure out what, how, and threads to put everything together. She loves the classics, as well as the newer stories written. She loves being a 'watson' on the holodeck and just enjoying the scenario. ----------------------------------------------------------- Vision and Passion ----------------------------------------------------------- Urvasi is desiring to go aboard as many types of starships as possible to navigate and fly them, that is if she doesn't find a ship she greatly enjoys flying and doesn't want to leave, or will go back to after other types are flown. She is wanting to experience more of the multi-culture cohabitation she has found exists on Starships and Starbase and enjoy learning more about herself from those experiences. She is still passionate about flying and navigating, but she is also growing more aware that she has a career growing, which means she can start looking for a male that piques her interest who can except her petitioning to date and see if they hit if off. To help out with this she is studying cooking, homemaking, and caring for children. If a ship she joins has kitlings on board, she would like to join into the daycares, schooling, or whatever else is provided for them. The best way to learn is to immerse oneself, especially in dealing with kitlings. The future is open. However, she recognizes she needs to be diligent to recognizing the good in the situation and those around her to know when to pursue, yet be aware of warning signs to get herself out of situations not conducive to her career or herself. Right now, Starfleet is her commitment, flying among the cosmos her vision, and the crew with its diversity with future friends as well as that future husband with wives is her Passion. |
History
| Personal History | Personal History Primary Education Days At a young age she was drawn into star gazing with her father. She loved 'pictures' in the sky as well as seeing close objects such as meteors and their two moons, Ranarheou and Ranarharr. During her primary schooling, her father took her on trips to the Moons and nearby asteroid belts and she was fascinated by the journeys. At this time, she was started into T'Ritua Martial Arts as every Vulienrey was to take the L'Tandrey Martial Arts schooling. This type of Martial Arts was unique in that it took into account tree road navigation for attacks and defense while also accounting for tail and claws of the Vupinoid races. Along with these activities her mother took her to a folk dance festival where Urvasi desired to learn these dances. Her mother enrolled her into mid week evening classes to learn these dances. Urvasi loved it. Before Secondary education started, she was to pick a musical instrument to learn. She was fascinated by a visiting rock band where one of the lead guitarists had a 12 string guitar. She chose that one without realizing the commitment needed for it. However, as she continued to focus on it, she discovered she loved playing and learning the guitars ability for intricate melodies. During a family vacation between Primary and Secondary education, her father let her fly the family's shuttle craft between the moons. This sparked a second love for Urvasi, that of flying. Being able to actually cruise through space to see guiding stars and their position to the path chosen was a thrill for her. During her secondary education, she was taken out by her older siblings for exploration and hiking. As this was with her siblings she did not realize this was actually to help her body develop the muscles and stamina needed for long treks as well as defense needs in the tree road. She just enjoyed being able to get through the exploration stronger and faster every time. At the turnaround point of each hike, the siblings would build a shelter shanty together, teaching Urvasi the basics. Of course, while on these hikes, her siblings had to show her their favorite self engaging sport, Dense Atmospheric Surfing. Their favorite spot was Lirkrhansarr, a deep valley trench within 10 km of Tlrathenie City where Secondary and Higher Education Kitlings would engage in surfing with lower powered hoverboards with sails. She loved watching her siblings, desired to try, and they enjoyed teaching her the basics. During one summer, on her own, she decided to build a better tree house with girly additions to make it nice for her mom and sisters. However, the wood she chose from the pile her brothers used was not in good shape, and she build the tree house over an area without tree limbs within easy reach that could be used to snag and stop a fall. Thus, when the floor gave way and she fell, she had a one way ticket to the ground below. She did manage to telekinetically snag a nearby limb on her way down to change her course, but her psi was still growing and not strong. She managed to fall into some lower limbs to slow her descent and roll to the ground without having to face critical injury, but those impacts did cause some puncture wounds in her torso and limbs. She was treated and spent the rest of her short vacation recovering. She took away from that incident a mindset to check resources and think through plans before committing to an action. As she was entering adolescence, she was given testing for Personality, Mental Acuity, and Psionic Abilities. All were noted at the higher bell curves for typical female Vulienrey, and so she was cleared to continue her education schedule without any remedial study. It was nearing the graduation from secondary education that she learned the family was moving to the Federation frontier zone territories, a planet called Existence Point. Her father had a job offer there and it was decided to pursue it as the planetary gravity was very similar to Nestranstra III. That summer, after graduation, the Elandorn family moved to Existence Point. As the planet was of heavy gravity and harsh conditions, everything was named after misery and perseverance. Thus, the place they moved to on the continent of Almost Livable Continent was the city of Survival III. Rhylandor and Lyrielle made sure the kitlings made the transition well and got them settled into their home and school life once more. Fortunately, there was a community comprised of several 1.8 g world sentients including other Vulienrey so that the kitlings would feel at home. High School Days --------------------------------- Urvasi entered high school (her Higher Education Program) just after her 10th Birthday. She dove into several extra-curricular programs to keep up with her hobbies and interests. It was at this time she discovered books of Sherlock Holmes and Tarzan. She loved reading these and fantasizing about the settings within the books. It was during one such external trail setup for a Tarzan episode that she met Verrona Azariah Olalandren and the two became fast friends. On her 11th birthday, she had the typical battery of Vulienrey tests for social adjustment, personality, and Mental Acuity. All tests were sat and were in the upper bell curve as before, showing Urvasi had integrated well into the families current community. There was a scary, but proud moment for the Elandorn family when there was an incident at a training hall. During advanced chemistry, an older student had decided to do an experiment by himself on the second floor, little used room. He was merrily going along until he mixed up the ratios for an experiment and a blaze of a fire broke out. At first he tried to put it out himself, but fire extinguishers were sparse on the little used area of the second floor and so he gave up and left the building. He quickly tried to find a teacher to report the blaze, however, that gave time for the fire to spread under the third floor where several classes were in session. As the flames burst through the flooring and vents, teachers organized students to the end stairwells to get them out of the building quickly. However, one class was cut off, and that happened to be the class Urvasi was in. As her family had practiced fire and flood drills continuously in their home, she immediately helped the teacher to organize the students as windows were broken open and cleared of glass, then ropes were used to get students to the ground. However, billows of toxic smoke were flooding the room as the fire was quickly following as some of the students were refusing the ropes. Urvasi created a sling and took a student upon her back, climbed out the window, then scrambled down till second floor when she dropped off the side and landed properly to drop off the student. She went back in several times, but the fire was in the room by the time of the final student. She soaked a sheet, then she climbed back up into the classroom. She braved the flames and smoke to go to the corner where the female was hiding, put the wet sheet over her, put her into the sling, then carried her out of the burning building. She received several arm, feet, and leg burns, as well as having taken in a lot of smoke. Urvasi was taken to the hospital to be treated. Meanwhile the building was allowed to finish burning under controlled conditions as it has been a teaching hall from decades ago and the academy decided it was time to put in a new teaching hall with modern construction. Urvasi was released after a day with weave bandages to help her burns heal. She went back to school not minding her healing burns. Two weeks later, during a school assembly, she was given a commendation for her role in helping students to escape the fire. She graduated the Higher Education Program. She was then tested for Maturity as well as for Advanced Scholastic Schooling. The testing showed she was now considered a young adult and able to enjoy now being an adult with all the vices that could entail. The extended extensive testing, used to help students decide upon next course of studies, showed Urvasi had aptitude with Astronomy/Navigation and Piloting. She signed up for and entered the Advanced Scholastic Studies Curriculum (University studies.) University Days ------------------------------- Urvasi entered the Advanced Scholastic Studies Program in Piloting and Navigation with sub disciplines in Console Control Systems and Personal Equipment. While in the studies, she continued her Dancing, Martial Arts, Guitar, and hiking. Existence Point did not have any dense atmospheric pockets like on her world, so she tried Re-entry surfing, but it just wasn't the same. Still, it was something, and she took several medals for the University for doing so. She kept up with her Tarzan and Sherlock Holmes readings and found several reenactment clubs she was able to get involved with. In doing the Sherlock Holmes that she picked up the interest in Mixology and began applying it during scenarios at bars. Of course, her now bestest friend Verrona had joined these clubs as well and the two enjoyed helping each other out especially on the Tarzan excursions. It was after her 14th birthday that she was finally able to perform a personal goal for herself: taking apart and putting together a Flight Control Console blindfolded. Verrona and she went out partying, with just a hiccup from 'registered age' to 'maturity age' discrepancies needing explanation. After this, Urvasi went out with three IDs: University ID, Vulienrey ID, and Federation 'Equivalent Age' ID. By her 15th birthday, she had mastered several types of folk dances as well as earned her Turenarr Belt in her style of Martial Arts. Now it was just getting each master level stripe put onto the belt. It was just after this she graduated her Advanced Scholastic Program and she was asked if she wanted to take the test for a Tau-Riene Specialty Acadamia on the L'Tandrey Homeworld of Tau-Riene. She jumped at the chance and took the test. She passed. She prepared to leave for the L'Tandrey Protectorate for that program. Advanced Specialty Academy --------------------------------------- After saying goodbye to her family and best friend, she boarded the L'Tandrey trimarin Crystalline hull star vessel to go to Tau-Riene. After arriving she immersed herself into the curriculum. This was also a chance to take folk dance lessons of the L'Tandrey as well as see if she could get an advanced mark on her Turenarr Belt. One thing she marveled at was how the world's gravity was 1.55g, yet the L'Tandrey were stronger than the Vulienrey. She joined several extracurricular activities to enjoy her time among the mysterious L'Tandrey. During the Mid Term testing, there were additional tests to get her acquainted with the Federation Standard 1 yr time cycle. She discovered that many homeworlds were very close to this standard for time due to how a 0.8g to 1.2g world had to be situated from its sun to be able to support life. She passed the mid term testing and the acclimation testing. It was at this time that word was sent back to Existence Point and a friend of her Father, one Star Fleet retired Captain Andrew Patomic Grillien, had decided to sponsor her to the StarFleet Academy upon hearing the good news from Rhylandor. Urvasi continued to train in her martial arts and discovered she could not move past one stripe on her belt until she could learn to better feel about her environment. L'Tandrey have an awareness sense that 'sees' the environment around them without eyes. She didn't, but she did have her vibration sense whiskers, hearing, touch, and fur. She was able to use these senses to get her first stripe, but still needed to better understand what she was feeling from the environment to pass the very rugged, random testing for that second stripe. She loved the foraging club she had joined. The fast pace through the tree roads and brush trails, the understanding of herbs/roots/edibles/insects for sustenance, the quick shelter builds, all contributed to her growth to not freeze or get flustered in an unusual situation. She had already shown she could when she rescued the students from the fire, but that was a special situation. The folk dances were another club she loved. And, thanks to her vibration whiskers and tracking who was near her, she could perform the more intricate history and lovers dances that usually required that special Awareness sense only L'Tandrey have. She appreciated the praise from the instructors as she grew in awareness of how to sense about her to perform the dances. Urvasi graduated the Tau-Riene Academy with honors. She went around to her clubs and friends to say goodbyes while packing for her return trip to her home. Two weeks later, or rather, 3 weeks, 4.9 days later Terran time, she boarded her transport to return home. |

| Service Record | Starfleet Academy News and Vacation ------------------------------------------------- Urvasi was greeting with a welcome home party when she walked into her house. At this party was Captain Grillien who presented to her the Certificate of Acceptance to the Federation Starfleet Academy. She was very joyful and grateful for him to have sponsored her. After the party was over, he sat down with her to go over what would happen next and when she would know a spot would open up for her. She asked if she could spend the fall season in his guest house so that she could go onto a Terran time schedule so as to not disturb her family. Andrew was pleased at hearing this and readily agreed to her occupying his guest house. Her parents readily agreed as this would be a great way for Urvasi to acclimate living 100% by herself as she had always been in dorms or their house up to this point in her education. Urvasi moved her belongings, those that she would take to the academy, into the Guest house. Andrew already had it furnished while Lyrielle, Urvasi's mom, kept the larder stocked. Thus, Urvasi had only to live as a single person in an apartment while adjusting fully to Terran time. Of course, she would make sure to time her wake periods with those times her friends were also out and about so as to spend time chatting, shopping, and enjoying hobbies together. She quickly got acclimated, especially as she already went through the training at Tau-Reine Academy 7. It was returning from a Surfing expedition that she received a missive from the communications tower at the starport. A position had opened up at the Academy for the fall (Terran Time) season and a transport would be there to pick her up on June 25th. She calculated it out to be 82 Nestranstra III days away, or 152 Terran, from her Birthday tomorrow. As it was her 17th Birthday, she prepared for the thee days of Social, physical, and mental testing that was to occur. While her maturity was fully there at age 12, it was considered poor taste to be eligible until all schooling taken care of. So, the 'final' societal testing could be done from age 13 onward. Of course, this was Vulienrey years. If explaining to a Terran, that would be age 22 years Maturity, then 24 years and up for final testing. Of course, it was a fun thought in thinking to a Terran, her age would be almost 31 and a half at her 17th Birthday. Two weeks before the transport ship arrived, Verrona came to live with her and adjusted her schedule to be on Urvasi's time. The two enjoyed each others company both sleeping and quiet times together. They went out together to say Urvasi's goodbyes and do some more Surfing and Explorations together. Of course, just shopping and chatting was always fun. Urvasi packed up on the day before while receiving a promissory note from Verrona that if arrangements could be arranged, Verrona would pack up and come live with Urvasi for companionship. Urvasi put that into a frame to hang on any dorm or quarters wall as her career in Starfleet progressed. All too soon, the two said their goodbyes and Urvasi boarded the transport to the Academy. Service Record Starfleet Academy 2431 - 2435 ---------------------------------------- Enrolling and Getting Settled Getting off the Transport, Urvasi was greeted by an Academy representative who handled Sponsored Alien Race Cadets. Lt. M'Lilvani showed her around and handed out her class schedules. Captain Grillien had already sent over her schooling records and the Academy created a schedule around those. Several Urvasi could test for if she desired. Urvasi decided she wanted to go through the classes fully as most of her schooling was for L'Tandrey Tech Vessels, which was different than Federation Tech vessels. M'Lilvani was greatly pleased with this desire. She helped Urvasi through the gambit of the various clubs and activities, matching them to Urvasi's hobbies. M'Lilvani assigned Linntarra as Urvasi's roommate. Linntarra'a race is Varkolak. M'Lilvani watched in interest as Linntarra and Uvasi began saying unusually grouped sentences as they seemed to move ears, whiskers, tail, eyebrows, or head in just a certain way. Shortly, the two were conversing in broad movements of their various appendages while saying some or no words. Both turned to M'Lilvani and told her thank you. M'Lilvani asked what just happened and Linntarra let her know while both use ears, whiskers, tails, and body movements as speech, they are two different races and gave each other a crash course in toddler speak. They both found common ground to work with and could develop interpersonal friendspeak from that point. M'Lilvani thanked them for the interesting information an lesson. Just as with her previous universities and academies, Urvasi's time was spend immersed in studies, extra curricular activities and social activities. Meanwhile Linntarra and she continued to work on their friendspeak while being a wingman for each other when out and about checking out dancing scenes, etc. During on scenario where the two gals were 'turning down' two drunken guys being too amorous, Linntarra found out how strong, and heavy, Urvasi was. She was surprised and impressed. She let Urvasi know that he Varkolaks are known for prowess, and in the past have been confused as werewolves by Terrans. Urvasi joked that she could be the Werevixen to Linntarra's Werewolfess. Those two terms stuck as endearing nicknames for each from that point. Second Year First Cadet Cruise (May 22nd) Urvasi was pleased when she and her roomate were picked for a Cadet Cruise after their second year at the Academy. the Cruise length was six weeks. Urvasi greatly enjoyed her time being on board, no claustrophobia or other mental stress signs showing from being 'enclosed in a metal can in the middle of space'. During 'down' times, she did her typical hobby of spending time in a holodeck to take apart and rebuild control consoles and personal equipment. Several other cadets on board who wandered in looking for her for social time could not believe she would be using down time for such and endeavor. However, during several 'attack with damage' drills, her 'unusual hobby' came to light as she wasn't flustered, performed her navigation and piloting tasks, while also doing damage repairs without needing guidance. When the command staff asked about her past in dealing with such, she let them know about the fire she had been in, and the very hard, fast paced drills at the Tau-Reine Academy. At the end of the cruise, Urvasi received good marks for all goals she was being tested for. She looked for Linntarra to find out about how her cruise went, and Linntarra reported she received good marks for her time in engineering as well. Urvasi's 18th Birthday (November 30th) On November 30th, while Urvasi was out getting commissary supplies, Linntarra and several other friends decorated the Dorm Common room for Urvasi's 18th Birthday. When the banner went up, the other three friends looked confused. Linntarra quickly made a second, smaller banner for underneath that had 'Terran Age 33, Her Terran Adult Age was 22'. That alleviated their concerns. The party was a success with gifts being of small pieces of jewelry and civy clothing that Urvasi greatly enjoyed. Third Year Second Cadet Cruise (May 22nd) Urvasi was pleased when once more she and her roommate were picked for a Cadet Cruise after their third year at the Academy. This Cruise length was also six weeks. However, this time, both went to different ships. Urvasi managed to be assigned to a larger ship than last time, which was awesome in her opinion. Once more, Urvasi greatly enjoyed her time being on board. She continued her hobby of spending time in a holodeck to take apart and rebuild control consoles and personal equipment. This time most on board knew of this, but it still threw off other cadets who didn't know. Several drills and scenarios later the ship returned . Just like last time, Urvasi received good marks for all goals she was being tested for. She met up with Linntarra chat over coffee and snacks about their cruises. Linntarra had also done well and received passing marks. Urvasi's 19th Birthday (October 4th) Urvasi was called for an after hours meeting in a conference hall in the main building. However, upon entering, she was showered with confetti and congratulations by Linntarra, M'Lilvani, several instructors, friends, and some admirers. Of course, Linntarra had up a sign reading 'Terran Years, 35, old lady now?'. The instructors along with some others were worried that this sign would cause a bad reaction from Urvasi, but Lanntarra was adamant it wouldn't. And, it didn't. Urvasi laughed and began joking about the age and how she didn't look a day past 34. The two roommates knew each other well. Of course, during dancing, what others did not see was the two calling each other spinster names using their friendspeak ear/tail/whiskers/body shift movements. However, after the dance and they both burst out laughing, Urvasi had to do a little explaining of what happened and why. The students laughed while the instructors had very thoughtful looks on their faces. If a tailed and eared race could be taught some specific movements that a command crew could understand, that could help with passing information during times when speech could not be used. Graduated Starfleet Academy (May 22nd, 2435) Urvasi graduated along side Linntanni on May 22nd, 2435. Urvasi was in the top 7% of the graduation students, Linntanni was in the top 20%. Urvasi took the prescribed courses for becoming a Navigator/Helmsman as well as extracurricular courses for being able to repair Control Consoles, personal equipment, as well as programming so she can create various homeworld scenarios to enjoy her hobby of Dense Atmospheric Surfing. Course: Starfleet Command School Major: Helm/Nav Minor: Com/Ops Extracurricular: Damage Control: Console Control Systems Extracurricular: Personal Equipment Maintenance Extracurricular: Programming ENG222: LCARS Programming 2 ENG321: Base-Mode Programming ENG323: Application of Creative Design in Holodecks Right after graduation, Urvasi received notification that she was already requested for Helm/Navigation on the USS Avalon (NCC-63887), an Akira Class vessel, commanded by Captain Arnold Kane. They were coming to Earth for a resupply and computer system update. They would be there in two weeks. Urvasi and Linntarra spent this time together exploring the Redwood Parks. Linntarra travelled along the ground as Urvasi traveled through the trees. After the first week, Linntarra received her assignment. She would be shipping out to go meet her ship in another three weeks. After Urvasi's second week was up, the two said their goodbyes. Urvasi made her way to the Starbase where the USS Avalon was coming into dock. First Crew Assignment - USS Avalon 2435 - 2439 (May 30, 2435) ---------------------------------------------- Urvasi quietly waited for the rushed crew departure for shore leave and then went aboard to meet the Officer on Watch and anyone left in medical for her coming aboard physical. She was pleasantly surprised to be met by the Captain as well as Chief Medical Officer. Both had wanted to meet the newly graduated Ensign of the unusual race of Vulienrey. Neither were disappointed. The Captain continues his rounds as the CMO took Urvasi to her quarters, she was the single occupant, then to medical for her physical. The CMO curious about the numbers in her chart and realized that everything was as it said. She was heavy, strong, a curious nature, had two hearts, three lungs, and a physiology that definitely allowed for jumping and climbing through large trees. He also noted the PSI abilities and had her demonstrate them. When she looked around to make sure others weren't there, he asked about it and was pleasantly surprised to find she didn't flaunt them but discreetly used them. She was not an L'Tandrey who always used their psionics as a part of everyday life, she was a Vulienrey who used them when needed. He told her she passed and welcome aboard, now get stowed and then enjoy two weeks of shore leave. Urvasi did so, then went and found Linntarra and told the news. The two hung out while also trying to be available in case any of the crew of the Avalon came looking for them. However, that didn't happen as this was just two weeks of R & R after having been out for two years. She was introduced to the CFO and crew, who took a liking to the amiable Vixen in their midst. Urvasi dove right into her assigned tasks, enjoying piloting and navigating for the Avalon. Upon finding out about her 12 string guitar, she was invited to crew evenings for playing with a band. Her extracurricular activity of Holodeck Programming got around as well and she was requested to help to fine tune some of the home made programs by the crew, which she gladly accepted. There was only a couple of incidents of someone trying to see what type of holoprogram she was using without announcing themselves, only to find knee buckling collapsing to floor gravity on the other side of the doors. Now others on board knew why she had a quarters to herself. The word quickly went out to always announce first, for both holodeck and quarters. PROMOTION: Urvasi was promoted to Lt. jg after having been on board for one year, May 30, 2436 20th Birthday: (August 11th) Urvasi quietly celebrated her Birthday by going and getting her physical for turning 20 in the medical facilities. That evening, she went to the officers lounge to enjoy a quiet drink of Speyside Scotch. Her quiet time was interrupted however by the Flight Control Staff showing up with a Birthday cake to help her celebrate. It seems a certain nurse in medical overheard the reason behind the physical and informed the CFO about her birthday being today. And, of course, she had to explain her homeworld years versus the Terran years, and yes, she celebrated on Nestranstra III time, and yes, her planet did not have a leap year and hence why her Birthday today was 11 days off of the Fed time born shown in her charts. 2nd Tour - Remained on USS Avalon May 30th, 2436. Captain Kane asked Lt. jg Elandorn if she would stay on for one more tour. She replied yes and so she remained on his ship for a second tour. Incident with Stealth Mine: January 15th, 2437. The USS Avalon was investigating reports of some supply ships having taken damage from an unseen enemy in transporting goods to New Berlin colony. As there are several other colonies and outputs in that sector, this was deemed a high priority. The Avalon arrived fifteen days into the new year 2437. As the ship was exploring the area of the reported incidents it was noted that there were several large asteroids nearby that were part of a traveling group that was plotted to pass harmlessly through the systems. The Captain was having the crew prepare a beacon while being on the lookout for whatever ship had been attacking the transports. Urvasi was at navigation when her tail straightened with its fur standing out. She brought a hand up to her head to lightly touch below her ear. As this was her third year on board, the command staff as well as fellow Flight control crew knew something was very wrong. Captain Kane asked her what she was sensing. Urvasi let him know that she was sensing a minor gravity well with a hyperspace signature near the smaller of the three asteroids. The sensor crew reported they were not detecting anything. Deciding to follow up on his hunch of believing what Urvasi told him, he had the ship subtly move transversely to the asteroids. Urvasi said the sense moved with them, transverse, and was coming closer. After talking with the CSO, it was decided to send a runabout out with a theta projector and running under warp 1.001 speed. That should interact with the hyperspace field and cancel it out momentarily. That was done with the shuttle being remotely guided by Urvasi. As it passed by, there was an energy flare that showed a 50 foot black sphere where there had been none. Sensors now locked on and found it was a self guiding stealth explosive device, filled with a high yield, 100 Megaton Nuclear device. It was towed by the remote controlled shuttle and then destroyed with a Photon Torpedo. The Captain asked if Urvasi sensed anything else. At first she said no, nothing, then she stopped. She now reported a smaller field had just appeared right beside the smaller asteroid. At that same time the Science station said they detected machinery and energy coming from the small asteroid, and then it just disappeared. The Captain decided to take out that asteroid. After two photons, the Asteroid had fallen to pieced and sciences could now see it was not an asteroid, but an automated stealth transport ship that was carrying the stealth bombs. Science probes sent to the now out of commission transport ship showed several hundred years old, not any known tech, and that the hyperspace field was being used as a stealth and trigger technique. The bomb would be deployed, move to the path of the incoming vessel, then be swept up by the warp field and detonate against the transport. The other two asteroids were deep scanned, but nothing untoward was found with those. The Captain wrote of his report and sent it off to Starfleet. Promotion to full Lieutenant: May 30, 2438 The Captain called Urvasi into his quarters before her shift started. He presented her with her Lieutenant Pips and gladly pinned them on her. She was ecstatic and promised a drink and dance later that evening with him. He took her up on that promise. Celebrated 21st Birthday: June 18, 2438 This time the flight crew took Urvasi to a conference room to celebrate her birthday, then to the officers lounge to ply her with drinks. She asked why for the extra celebration, they let her know about the 21st birthday being a special one for Terrans. As they wanted to celebrate it that way, she went along with it, with the dancing and the drinking going on till early morning. On the next morning, there were several who were a little under the weather, especially after the special 'good stuff' was brought out. Urvasi herself was doing well, having drunk enough to feel it lightly, but without hampering her ability to work properly. Completed Second Tour: May 30, 2439. This time Urvasi did not pursue another tour on the USS Avalon. She wanted to change to a different ship to experience flying that vessel and learning of its crew and culture. Captain Kane wrote her an outstanding referral and dropped her off at the nearest starbase to await a new command. Assigned to the USS Enterprise: June 14th, 2439. As Urvasi took some R & R on the station, she received word back that she had a new assignment and to expect to be transported shortly. She was excited once more and looking forward to the next part of her journey. |
