ECF Directives Acceptance Pledge

I, Vanessa Ann Yates Jaran hereby accept and promise to abide by as well as uphold all the Directives of the Exploratory Crews of the Federation.

Dr William, and Yvonne Yates were investigating the possibility of using alien spores of Omicron Ceti III to repair psychological, and mental illness in humans. They arrived May 27, 2356 @ 8:02 am, over that time their daughter Vanessa was conceived. But on August 8, 2358, Yvonne was infected with the alien spores, the effects on her were classic, and relatively easy to remove. Yet the spores also affected her fetus, they bonded with its developing DNA, and effectively became part of Vanessa Yates.

At birth, the telltale signs of infection were apparent when she was born hermaphrodite. On February 22, 2359, the Yates' returned to Earth, where it was concluded without a steady dosage of berthold radiation, Vanessa would perish. A berthold implant was developed that would release non-lethal doses of berthold radiation, as well as regulate the alien spores effect on here mind.

August 27, 2373, Vanessa was accepted into the Daystrom Institute, where she studied cybernetics, and nanotechnology. September 13, 2376 while enroute to Velara III, William and Yvonne's vessel came under attack by the Borg. This was devastating to Vannessa who would drop out of the Institute and enroll into the Starfleet Academy. Although originally longing for a command post, she excelled in sciences and engineering. In 2381, she graduated from the Academy.
