# Personal Life

Born to parents Sovaj and T'Met on Vulcan, Sipone had a remarkably uninteresting childhood. She did however, develop a knack for engineering and intense study, pursuing a range of sciences and engineering disciplines to enhance her knowledge. While her father encouraged her to seek acceptance to the Vulcan Science Academy, her mother also influenced her to consider a career in Starfleet, citing that the diverse, albeit unusual, sources of information would broaden her perspective. Upon reaching the age of 16, she applied to and was accepted to Starfleet Academy. During her first year, she was selected for a career in Engineering, with a focus on Cybernetics and specialized fabrication. Despite having graduated alongside her class in 2395, Sipone opted to continue her education, spending an 2 additional years at Starfleet Medical to study the medical applications of Cybernetic engineering. Her first posting involved being assigned to a research and development team attached to Starfleet Medical, helping with the mechatronic portion of a series limb prostheses that would eventually become standard-issue medical replacements for injured personnel.

Upon promoting to Lieutenant Junior Grade, she was assigned to the USS *Sergius* as a general purpose Engineering Officer, though her specialty prioritized her assignment to the ship given that it was a medical transport ship. After progressing through a relatively calm tour of duty, she was promoted to Lieutenant and transferred to the USS *Clancy*. During the outbreak of the Federation-Klingon War, she saw many a combat action and carried herself with diligence, as well as help pioneer several cybernetic enhancements that would come to aid in the recovery of injured personnel, even at one point herself becoming injured, necessitating the replacement of her right forearm with a cybernetic replacement. However, many a time did she encounter Agents of Starfleet Intelligence. Whether due to the pressures of war, or just the passionate desire to survive, many times they would take possession of the ship to use for many confidential missions, hampered shipwide efficiency, and were otherwise mysterious in their explanations of such illogical breeches of the Chain-of-Command. As a result, she finds the Intelligence arm of Starfleet to be highly illogical, and driven by ambition to preserve the Federation through secretive means, sometimes putting others at risk in the pursuit of information.

She promoted to LCDR in 2409 and was assigned to lead a sub-division of the Cybernetics research and development department of the Daystrom Institute, aiding in several cybernetic innovations and enhancements being developed. Eventually, she felt her career needed to progress back to Starship duty, and after almost 10 years of design research and cybernetics production, she selected a posting to the 26th Fleet.
