History[edit]
Career Event 1: Re-Discovery of Xeno Species
While on Planet Ismares with an away team studying an ancient extinct culture, Kimi discovered an energy-based lifeform inside the nearby star. She awoke this lifeform using modulated energy signals to mirror its own apparent attempts to communicate across the stars. These “Star-gods” are in fact an ancient species, spoken of in the Vulcan allegories, and were thought to be extinct.
(Picked up the 'Alien Lifeforms' Focus.)
Career Event 2: Encounter with an alien culture
As part of an away team researching deuterium mining potential on an apparently uninhabited world, Kimi was frustrated by the lack of lifeforms to study – when she saw something go into a subterranean cave. Following it in, she discovered a cybernetic alien species that had long ago learned to transfer their essence to robotic bodies. These “Cybernauts” were friendly, very technologically advanced, but eccentric and hidden away under the surface of this planet for a long time. They seemed to be functionally immortal. They welcomed the Starfleet personnel, but trapped them and then demanded one of their number agree to be “transferred” to become one of them.
(Picked up the 'Alien Lifeforms' focus.)
Kimi figured out through linguistic study of their names and other clues they were not all different individuals, but digital copies of the same individual. She reasoned that as they could digitally clone a mind, they did not necessarily need to “transfer” and kill the original. She volunteered for the procedure and the Cybernauts agreed reluctantly. They desperately wanted a new consciousness with which to interact (imagine talking to yourself for an eternity). (Picked up the 'Xeno-culture/society' and ‘Linguistics’ Focus.)
