Kalia Parsala


 * Nurse Kalia Parsala
 * The Head Nurse is Kalia Parsala, a black-skinned deltan. Because of her empathic and hormonal abilities she could best tune to the needs of Doctor Yggdrasil. Their working relationship together is a complicated matter: the Doctor normally cannot move outside the sickbay with its hole mass (only parts of its body, like the translator-frost, or the surgical ants, some symbiotic branches, tentacles and vines, etc.), so it needs a humanoid agent as a main representative outside in the decks of the ship and in the away-teams. So Kalias work is more, than the usual work of nurses. To balance this, she has fever work in the sickbay, because most of the nursing work is done by the ecosystem of Yggdrasil's body, so Kalia is only needed to show psychological compassion toward patients.

Kalia as a private person is a more complicated being. She is a kind of revolutioner in her home sotiety, she was raised in the hedonistic ways of her people, but she got the feeling of alienation from pure sexual interaction (which is a dominant part of everyday interaction in her homeworld on Delta). She definitioned herself as an asexual being, thus socked her family and friends, which led to her volunterly exile from the homeworld. But the outside world reacts even more purly to her asexuality, as the deltan society, which led to all kind of painfull confrontation with other crew-members, except the non Neringa Zvikaite, who has similar world-wiew, as Kalia (only Neringa's ascetism is based on religious piousness and self-neglection, not on distaste), so they feel as a kind of kindred spirits. Kalia feels herself as a patriot nonethless, interacts with other deltans, and now she has the same goal, as them: she wants to find a cure against the weapon of the Dominion, which pollutes the waters of Delta.
