[edit] History
[edit] Early
Early in her career, Laurel worked for Mars Colony Security and was stationed at a mining colony. Unfortunately for her, the command staff was corrupt and took bribes for promotions. Refusing to go along with this, she couldn’t get herself promoted or released from her contract. After a while, she began breaking the rules and putting everyone else’s safety at risk, because she just didn’t care anymore. Then Sinclair came to work at the station. Realizing what she was doing, he got her to stop breaking the rules and fight the broken system within the rules. In doing this, he would make sure she got promoted.
[edit] On Babylon 5
By 2257, she had become first officer of Babylon 5 overseeing the arrival of the last of the diplomatic staff. When the Vorlon ambassador Kosh suddenly fell ill and collapsed, she had to relay the news that the Vorlon High Command would not allow them to open his Encounter suit to examine him further. Later, she was a deciding factor in getting their resident telepath Lyta Alexander to Scan ambassador Kosh to find out who tried to kill him, something she objected to both professionally and personally. She helped Commander Sinclair and Garibaldi track down the real assassin. She was replaced by Susan Ivanova in 2258.[1]
[edit] Notes
- Her first and only appearance was in the The Gathering.
