Maya on Psychon

Intro

Details

• Daughter of Mentor.
• According to some sources (original source not known to the Editor), born on the 3rd Day of Tayad, 6752, in Manos Province, Psychon.
• (Unverified:) Implications that she once knew Psychon as it once was, or at least before the planet's environmental cataclysm got so severe as to force most Psychons to leave or go underground. The Editor is not sure if such was indicated in the series itself.
• Maya knew -- or at least met -- Dorzak, at some point on Psychon, for he recognizes her and she is clearly not surprised by his recognition.
• Lost her mother (not named in the series) some time years before before the Alphan encounter -- apparently years before, perhaps as Psychon's decline began or hastened.
• Maya and her father lived in caverns under Psychon's surface for some time at least, apparently for years, most likely a number of years.
• Familiar with some aspects of Psyche, but kept (by Mentor) unaware of its darker side and uses.
• Learned the ability of molecular transformation nascent in all Psychons.
• Verbally pushed by the commander of some aliens held in a cell, she discovers the horrors her father is perpetrating (via Psyche) on aliens in an attempt to Psychon, and frees some imprisoned aliens (four Alphans), one of whom she takes with her to confront her father. That alien, Cmdr. John Koenig, immediately attacks Psyche. Mentor dies in the resulting death-throes of Psychon, even as Maya struggles to save him despite his wanting to be left to die on the planet. She is thus left the last living Psychon on -- and to leave -- her homeworld before its final and total destruction.
