V'Lenn

Doctor V’Lenn is the Chief Medical Officer of the USS Mercury. The Vulcan began her career on starships, before spending a decade away from Starfleet, providing medical services and support to settlements on frontier worlds. It was, she argued, the only logical response to the Federation’s downturn after the Attack on Mars; she had to be wherever people needed help the most, and could not do that in the uniform. She was brought back into the service by Captain Daragon, with whom she had served in the past, and who assured her that on his ship, she could make a difference. So far, Doctor V’Lenn has been given no reason to regret her choice. Although she is as austere and emotionally detached as any Vulcan, she is an astute observer of people, and capable of putting her patients at ease through knowing exactly how to communicate with them. It is not a warm bedside manner – but it exists.
