Rear Admiral Gensilan
Created By: Garry Stahl
Marital status: She is bonded to Tanban, a biological Ane male. She is also married to Admiral Jay P. Hailey and is campaigning to make him the first voluntary human in a mating weave. Plalyatlas a Zhodani expatriot has also been added to the sexual union giving an even male-female balance. Okay, it's a weird family. This is Oz after all. Gensilan has four Children. Serilan, an Ane RI and Hailiban an Aneilog RI are no longer at side. She other two Tailan, and Ane RI and Kilaban an Aneilog are still growing up. She has two adopted children as well. Roak, a Klingon was adopted by Hailey. Cindy the Hamon encoutered by Hailey in "The Dreamer" came back to him when she felt out of place with the other Harmon and shed her YAGLAhood to be a little girl. Routine Activities: Caring for her children and mates as well as running the Sector. She also acts as the main database for the Federation in this area. Skills/Training/Professional Skills: Gensilan is primary trained as a ship driver. She has attended Starfleet Command School although she is a graduate of the ADF RI school, not the Academy. As a computer she can quickly add additional skills as required. Financial Status: Rich beyond the dreams of avarice, and doesn't really care. Group Affiliations: Ane All, RI net, Sentient Rights Commission, Starfleet, ADF. Personality: Gensilan projects a mothering figure. She did after all have a superb example of the type to learn from. She is a fun loving as any Ane but reaches for nurture as her first response. In the office she is professional. The nurture still comes through however. Ambitions and Goals: She pretty much has what she wants. Physical/mental Problems: Gensilan suffers from the typical RI need to be needed and liked. This typically manifests in their bodies, when as a rule are beautiful to the point of unreality. Gensilan is no exception here. Any version of her will make male of the appropriate species drool all over. She has the usual RI limitation that she needs a computer to live. RIs are the child of technology and cannot survive without it. Enemies (And Why): General enemies of the Federation. Those people that fear artificial life forms. Special Abilities: Gensilan currently has the Renaissance Station mainframe to play with. This is one of the largest and most advanced computers in the Federation, or just about anywhere. The Builder designed and built computer is far in advance of even the Crystalmind units RIs usually get. Gensilan is taking ruthless advantage of that. She has standard Ane psionic abilities with a slightly weaker teleport. Weaknesses/Disadvantages: Gensilan can be adversely affected by things that adversely affect computers. Heavy RF, even through all her bodies are shielded, subspace pulses and things that drain energy. The nature of her work and her main unit mean her mobility is limited. History and Experiences Which have Affected Character Greatly: Gensilan was among the first generation of deliberate RIs. Her Mother yearned for another child and she simply could not conceive. Healers told her it was worn out. After 380 years she was out of viable eggs. However her bondmate was one of the software architects working on the AI problem. Crystalmind computers had been waking up. It was their contention that rather than preventing this, they should control it. Socialize the infant personalities. Early tests have been positive. Generation one was good, but the engineers and healers felt that touch was important, being Ane of course. To this end they bought the Stoner Medical company and developed lifelike bodies for the computer people. They now had a child analog they could use to aid in the raising of computer people. Gensilan was among the first five to be raised in this fashion. The success of her class led to further refinement in the kernel and process. After childhood Gensilan was more or less at a loss of things to do. The RI program was still working out how it would work. She took the early courses on how to be a ship, but berths were rare at the time. The new ships were just coming on line. Most had RIs that had been developed with the ship. However The newly retired Admiral LaSaille had just had a new ship built. The SS Desiderata needed a ship driver, and Gensilan took the job. When Jerry entered his period of isolation Gensilan got tired of hanging around the dock. She resigned and applied for a berth in the Horned Fleet. This time there was an opening. The USS Rengal needed an RI,and it was a Euphrates class ship, the same as the Desiderata. She had not had the berth long when the Rengal was lost is a time fugue caused by the Fernegi playing with something they shouldn't have. The Rengal popped back into space time a 1000 light years away and 75 years later. She was rescued by and rescued the USS Discovery in return. The Rengal was a loss. The biological crew dead and only the three RIs surviving. They joined the crew of the Discovery on their trip back to Federation space. They were there when the Discovery encountered Oz, and encouraged Hailey to stop. Meanwhile Gensilan had been helping Hailey find himself again. The stress of too many years in deep space, away from any aid was getting to him. In the process she came to love the man, and he her as well. They are indispensable to each other. Meanwhile Gensilan was more or less thrust from the Horned Fleet to Starfleet in general. She took time to do Command School, and returned to STB-600 as a Captain. Later as the area has expanded and his role as become increasingly complex Hailey promoted her to Rear Admiral. Gensilan is the first "artificial life form" to reach flag rank in Starfleet. Some consider her a "back door" Admiral as she has never commanded a Starship. He entire tenure as a Captain was a ground assignment. She replies that she has been a ship. How much more in command is that? Gensilan commands Starbase-600 and its immediate sector.
