Character and Story Appearances

(From Encyclopedia entry - clean and update)

12 of 19 was born Leeta and Kitra, twins girls on a Grikite colony world ("The Latest Fad" [BRG]). They grew up, went through school, graduated as engineers, and took jobs at Astro-Engineering ("The Latest Fad" [BRG]). When the Borg descended upon their planet, both assisted in the resistance, although Leeta was primarily following her dominant twin's wish to fight ("The Latest Fad" [BRG]). They were assimilated approximately 40 years before the prior assignment ("The Latest Fad" [BRG]). The trauma, and a case of assimilation imperfection, melded the two formerly seperate personalities into one mind in two bodies ("This is Borg?"; "A Day in the Trenches" [BRG]) 12 of 19 gained her current position of engineering hierarchy head when Captain picked her for the ssignment ("This is Borg?" [BRG]). She is often chosen by Captains to fill the Engineer position, but she hates the name, so often uses a different designation ("Captain's Tale" [REJ]). During Captain's initial assignment, 12 of 19 went by Omega ("Captain's Tale" [REJ]); currently she is "Delta" because it is her fourth time as head in the last six cube deployments ("This is Borg?" [BRG]). She has threatened dire consequences if she is picked again before the HIerarchy of Eight makes a complete rotation ("This is Borg?" [BRG]). Delta's species has a controllable glandular system, which includes a caffeine-like stimulant ("A Day in the Trenches" [BRG]). And while Delta is an excellent engineering drone, she has difficulty coordinating her hierarchy with efficiency when many of her drones are physically active; the threshold for initial problems is 60% ("A Day in the Trenches"; "A Speeding Cube Gathers No Stardust"; "A Fish Story" [BRG]). If there is one thing Delta hates (besides Weapons), it is Klingon opera ("In Space, No One Can Hear You Panic" [BRG]). As head of the engineering hierarchy, it is Delta's job to make sure the cube stays in one piece, more or less. One of the more difficult episodes was when Cube #347 was infultrated by a space mold, which ended up leaving on its own before the ship utterly fell apart ("A Day in the Trenches" [BRG]). Personal problems include the time when Body B was affected by a mech virus, the effects of which mimiced a state of drunkenness ("Borg Scratch Fever" [BRG]), and when the same body was kidnapped by a genetic collector ("The Latest Fad" [BRG]).
