Details
- Has a small mechanical implant, a
Neuro-Pulsonic Jammer,
in her brain, to block Dorzak's psychic influence.
- Forced to seek help from Alpha when Dorzak momentarily
breaks free and the end result is one of her crew members is
dead and the other critically injured.
- On Alpha, when she sees
Maya, another Psychon,
Sahala attacks Maya,
earning immediate distrust from almost all Alphans,
which, while showing her deep fear of Psychons,
also hampers her ability to convince the Alphans, especially
Tony (who is in
temporary command of Alpha),
of the true danger of Dorzak.
- Alan is the only one to give Sahala
a chance at first.
They find each other "very easy to be with."
He soon falls for her.
- When Tony threatens to board Sahala's ship,
she attacks a guard, steals a stun gun,
sets it on kill, and to pressure Tony to back off,
points it at a now-recovered Maya.
Alan, however, grabs it back from Sahala.
- When Yesta recovers consciousness,
Dorzak, now awake, drives Yesta to falsely accusing
Sahala of killing Clea.
- Eventually, though, other Alphans start growing suspicious
of Dorzak, and Maya is reluctantly convinced to
transform into Sahala's form,
to confront Dorzak and try to determine the truth for herself,
from his lips.
Maya learns the truth, but is discovered,
and Dorzak takes on her form to manipulate other circumstances.
- As a result, Dorzak captures Sahala, and Helena,
who is about to be forced to remove Sahala's
neuro-pulsonic jammer, so Dorzak can force Sahala
to fly Dorzak (presumably with Maya on board)
to wherever he wants.
- Tony, having realized Dorzak's masquerade as Maya,
breaks in and defeats Dorzak, and Sahala's ship,
with Dorzak safely back in stasis, is returned to her.
- She and Alan share two kisses, in goodbye.
