Biography[]
In the 2360s, she was serving aboard the USS Enterprise-D as a helmsman. She informed Captain Jean-Luc Picard that they had entered the uncharted system they were sent to investigate, to which he responded by calling her "Ensign Nobody." She informed him that she did, in fact, have a name, but was interrupted by Worf, who told her not to speak to Picard without being first spoken to. She believed they were acting like tyrants, inciting Picard to have Worf escort her off the bridge.[2]
