| − | Rachel Winston, M.D., was born Waychel of the House of Ranston, Keepers of the Revered Shawl, 25th in an unbroken line. Waychel was a 'Gammazoid', a Betazoid born without their empathic gifts. Her lack of empathic skills was a great disappointment to her family. Though they tried to make it appear as though nothing was wrong, Waychel sensed their disappointment, and it was painful for her, the scars running deep. Eventually, Waychel learned to close off and block other empaths, as well as interpolate emotions through body language, vocal patterns and dynamics. She got so good that other Betazoids took pity on her, thinking her skills were below average, rather than non-existent. But eventually, the pity and disgust from her fellow Betazoids became more than she could bear. Waychel left Betazed, never to return. After getting in touch with "The right people, Waychel of the House of Ranston became Rachel Winston. |

| + | Arban Breetal's medical career began on [[Earth]]. He had been refused a position at [[Ravenstone Memorial]] on Earth. He then entered [[Starfleet Academy]]. After graduating, he was posted to the [[Starfleet]] Garrison on [[Kalimor]], where he met a young [[lieutenant]] named [[Montaine Buchanan]]. The the two men became fast friends. They spent a considerable time on the planet. Then in [[2338]], Kalimor was attacked by a heretofore unknown species called the [[Mahr]]. After neutralizing the [[colony]]'s minimal defenses, the Mahr destroyed what was left of the colony. The survivors were then herded into pens. Thus began their eight month ordeal. The Mahr provided irrelevant, backbreaking labor for the most meager of barely edible rations, along with physical beatings and torture for little or no reason. It was the concensus of the surviving colonists that Arban's medical training be hidden so he could treat the injured and infirm away from the scrutiny of the Mahr. Arban healing skills were exposed when he tried to help [[Sakor]], an elderly [[Vulcan]] that had suffered a brutal beating at the hands of the Mahr. Despite Sakor's protests, Arban was determined to try and ease his pain. After he was spotted, the Mahr sadisticly remarked, "That not how you stop pain, This is how you stop pain." He then beat Sakor to death. His medical skills exposed, Breetal was taken to [[Ch'man]], one of the Mahr leadership. After he returned, he went to the first colonist that needed tending, but would not meet the eyes of any of the other colonists. The Mahr then ordered colony leader Lieutenant Montaine Buchanan to provide colonists for experiments, and Arban Breetal would assist in the experiments. That night some of the more fit colonists attempted an escape, stealing what little reserve food that the colonists had put away. The Mahr hunted them down, for the sport. None of them were heard from again. The Mahr continued to take colonists for experiments. Sometimes they would take them from the work groups, sometimes they would just come into the camp. to take who they wanted. The experiments came to a climax when the Mahr took Montaine Buchanan. He was returned in a delusional state, like the other affected colonists. Breetal managed to smuggle what he thought was an antidote from the lab. He administered it to Buchanan. The antidote worked, though it left the young Lieutenant exhausted, and unable to work. His girlfriend, [[Emily Alkon]] took over leadership of the colonists. When the workgroup returned, none of the group would face Buchanan. He soon discovered that Emily had been taken by the Mahr for experiments. She was returned a few days later, in the same delusional state Buchanan was in. This time Arban had no [[antidote]]. It had been siezed by the Mahr in the attempt. Emily died the next morning. Two days later the camp was liberated by Starfleet. |

| − | After arriving at Earth, Rachel enrolled in Starfleet Academy as a pre-med student. She nearly flunked out her first year, not because she was academically deficient, but because she was so distracted by the intensity of non-empaths body language. Eventually, she acclimated, spending her time off travelling, or studying people back at the Academy. Rachel graduated, and completed med school and her residency, endiing up as CMO of the Oberth class starship USS Chimera. |
||
| + | After recovering, Arban and Montaine were assigned to [[Starbase 43]]. Montaine as [[Logistics Officer]], Arban as a [[Medical Officer]]. They remained at the [[starbase ]]for thirteen years. When Montaine was promoted to [[Captain]] and given [[commanding officer|command]] of [[Deep Space Three]], Arban followed as the replacement [[Chief Medical Officer]]. Once there, Buchanan began a campaign of austerity and cutbacks. Arban, seeing no harm in it, simply gave in to Buchanan's force of personality. Over the twelve years, Dr Breetal watched as Buchanan cut station staffing to barest minimum, leaving it able to handle day to day traffic, but vulnerable in the event of mass casualties. The mass casualties came in the form of a [[Betazoid]] diplomatic [[shuttle]] that came under attack while on a covert mission. After the {{class|Miranda}} [[starship]] {{uss|Remington|NCC-19827}}, which was on its way to study a trinary star, diverted to assist, and towed the shuttle to DS3. With the support from Doctors [[Winston]], [[Hern-chinz]], along with their respective medical staffs from {{uss|Chimera|NCC-11555}} and ''Remington'', handling the sudden influx of casualties became manageable. |
||
| − | For the most part, since her arrival, Rachel had kept mainly to herself. The only person knowing her background was Dr Wylothia from the station medical staff. Anyone else was only allowed to do a comparative scan only. |
||
| + | Shortly before the ''Remington'' arrived with shuttle casualties, Captain Buchanan was injured in a turbolift accident. As the engineering crews rushed to reach him, he was saturated with [[anti-grav]] coolant. When Arban finally reached Buchanan, one of the first things he said to him was that he had to "Save Emily". Arban was forced to conclude that inhaling the coolant had placed him in a delusional state. After getting him to [[Sickbay]], he placed him in a pure [[oxygen]] field and engaged a [[theta suppressor]] in order to allow him to rest, but this also inhibited short term memory. despite this, Buchanan and Arban worked together to aid [[Avery Tovar-Smith]]'s sister, Emily, who appeared to be afflicted with the same pathogen. |

| − | Following Chimera's rescue of the Ferengi ship Profitable Venture, Rachel gained an unwanted suitor, the ship's loadmaster, name of Goshen. Despite Rachel's repeated rejections, along with aversion therapy in the form of traction without anesthetic, emptied punch bowls and the threat of a Lobectomy with a dirty fondue fork. Goshen's amorous misadventures wouldn't abate. Eventually, Goshen gave Rachel a gift in the form a a miniature statue that she discovered was Escherrite in origin. Being a xeno-archeologist, the statue peaked her curiousity. With the concurrance of Chimera's Captain, [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Gregory Torkelson]], She, LT Exler, and Goshen undertook a covert away mission to The Enclave, a Trading post on the edge of the Pinchot Expanse. Barely escaping, the trio were returning to DS3 aboard Goshen's shuttle, the Successful Negotiiations, when they were attacked by the pirate vessel Solar Winds. The Caravelle and Chimera undertook rescue operations, but only Rachel and Goshen were rescued from the ship. Renova was rescued following Chimera's second battle with the Solar Winds, along with the recently reappeared Sayzar Tyrellian, though Captain Tyrellian succumbed to his injuries. |

| − | Rachel's past was brought to light on Chimera's next mission, to a world called Melnora, and contact with a possible offshoot of the Betazoid species. Chimera was carrying a small diplomatic detachment from Betazed, led by Ambassador Briz Nemon. The first meeting between Rachel and the Ambassador was, in a word, explosive. In the words of Medtech Giles, "I heard her. Through the bulkhead. After she chased the Commander and the Ambassador out of the burn unit, the Commander followed the Doctor into her office, where they had a brief, but loud discussion." |
||
| − | |||
| − | After arriving at Melnora, Winston led an away mission to observe ordinary Melnorans in their day to day lives. While in the marketplace, Rachel, Knox, and Randy Thomas came under attack by radical factions. Escaping with relatively minor injuries, The Melnoran planetary leaders Lord and Lady Ranteen, discovered an artifact from the marketplace (allegedly) stolen by Chief Knox. They determined resolution through the Ivory Throne, an artifact that amplifies empathic sense. Lord Ranteen discovered Rachel's secret, but agreed to keep it to himself. Under threat of the Chimera leaving orbit immediately, Ambassador Nemon conceded that her real intent was to assess the existence, and possible acquisition of the technology. She also related the story of how she came to know the existence of Melnora, and the legend of the Ivory Throne. At a reception later that evening, the animosity between the Ambassador and Rachel reached boiling point when Rachel dropped her empathic blocks and gave the Ambassador the full force of her hatred towards her former people. In retaliation, Ambassador Nemon revealed Rachel's secret, despite Renova's protests. |

Starfleet career
Arban Breetal's medical career began on Earth. He had been refused a position at Ravenstone Memorial on Earth. He then entered Starfleet Academy. After graduating, he was posted to the Starfleet Garrison on Kalimor, where he met a young lieutenant named Montaine Buchanan. The the two men became fast friends. They spent a considerable time on the planet. Then in 2338, Kalimor was attacked by a heretofore unknown species called the Mahr. After neutralizing the colony's minimal defenses, the Mahr destroyed what was left of the colony. The survivors were then herded into pens. Thus began their eight month ordeal. The Mahr provided irrelevant, backbreaking labor for the most meager of barely edible rations, along with physical beatings and torture for little or no reason. It was the concensus of the surviving colonists that Arban's medical training be hidden so he could treat the injured and infirm away from the scrutiny of the Mahr. Arban healing skills were exposed when he tried to help Sakor, an elderly Vulcan that had suffered a brutal beating at the hands of the Mahr. Despite Sakor's protests, Arban was determined to try and ease his pain. After he was spotted, the Mahr sadisticly remarked, "That not how you stop pain, This is how you stop pain." He then beat Sakor to death. His medical skills exposed, Breetal was taken to Ch'man, one of the Mahr leadership. After he returned, he went to the first colonist that needed tending, but would not meet the eyes of any of the other colonists. The Mahr then ordered colony leader Lieutenant Montaine Buchanan to provide colonists for experiments, and Arban Breetal would assist in the experiments. That night some of the more fit colonists attempted an escape, stealing what little reserve food that the colonists had put away. The Mahr hunted them down, for the sport. None of them were heard from again. The Mahr continued to take colonists for experiments. Sometimes they would take them from the work groups, sometimes they would just come into the camp. to take who they wanted. The experiments came to a climax when the Mahr took Montaine Buchanan.

The antidote worked, though it left the young Lieutenant exhausted, and unable to work. His girlfriend, Emily Alkon took over leadership of the colonists. When the workgroup returned, none of the group would face Buchanan. He soon discovered that Emily had been taken by the Mahr for experiments. She was returned a few days later, in the same delusional state Buchanan was in. This time Arban had no antidote. It had been siezed by the Mahr in the attempt. Emily died the next morning. Two days later the camp was liberated by Starfleet.
After recovering, Arban and Montaine were assigned to Starbase 43. Montaine as Logistics Officer, Arban as a Medical Officer. They remained at the starbase for thirteen years.

With the support from Doctors Winston, Hern-chinz, along with their respective medical staffs from USS Chimera and Remington, handling the sudden influx of casualties became manageable.
Shortly before the Remington arrived with shuttle casualties, Captain Buchanan was injured in a turbolift accident.
