Personal History		Talla grew up in a small andorian colony. Those who knew her when she was young always considered her gifted, But those same people would also be the first to admit that she was a problem child and a mischief maker. Her boredom often preceeded an unexplained fire, or malfunctioning piece of equipment but, while she was always the suspect, there was never enough proof to connect her to the incident. One night while she was exploring the colony's computer systems, she stumbled into the sensor logs and discovered an anomaly. Closer investigation revealed it to be a borg ship on approach -- the signature had been disguised. She tried to warn the colony's leaders, but everyone assumed that this was just part of an elaborate prank. They went so far as to study the sensor logs, but the consensus was that Talla had fabricated the data. With no other recourse, she beamed out a subspace distress signal to all nearby ships. The transmission had barely been sent before the borg ship descended upon the defenseless colony. Talla was among those abducted. She was assimilated, but was rescued by a starfleet ship almost immediately. After the rescue was mounted, Talla was one of the fortunate ones to escape with very little modification. However, the incident left her bitter and resentful. Her family was gone, her friends deceased. She signed on with starfleet and decided to focus her skills on something more important than random mischief: revenge.
