He gave his life in 1999 to save Jakarta, Indonesia during the Meteor Crisis. He is regarded as a hero there and in the USA.</P><P>The Warp Drive Project’s Shepard Class Cruiser is named after Deke.</P><P>In 2012 Steven Ashby saw the ghost of Deke Slayton in space. In the course of investigation he got Therilan. Her presence and sensor package invoked the Littleton Uncertainty Principle Once the sensors are turned off Deke made an appearance.</P><P>It seems he was stuck in space due to having died there and his body scattered and never buried. Therilan fired those sensors back up and gathered every bit of Human tissue in orbit she could find. She filtered the not Deke from the lot and gave Steve a box with about half a kilo of matter. Then Micheal Flynn, also along for the ride cast a reincarnation on the box.</P><P>Deke appeared as a young woman. Everyone, Flynn included, was shocked by the occurrence. Therilan really got her brain bent.</P><P>Deke, now Donna Ashby (Nee Slayton) went home with Steve to get her now female feet under her. Jennifer acts as female technical adviser. Donna decided that reestablishing an official presence as Deke Slayton was not necessary or advisable. She took a position as a "Human refugee" under the Lost Persons Treaty, All the old dogs down at the Warp Drive Project and the Corps of Discovery are clued into the deal. Some are more accepting than others.</P><P>Donna has been using her newly flexible brain to uptake the new technology. She is the first Human fluent in Vulcan. She has all the advantages of being one of the old school space dogs with the additional advantage of being made of foam rubber and having the new technical knowledge as well.</P><P>Donna has taken her girl out to play after many a long talk with Jennifer Ashby. She went for the safest boys at the WDP, one of the Aneilog males. They get "sex with no strings". She won't say which one and does not have a current relationship. She is getting comfortable in her female skin. Still looks at girls however.
