Delta (12 of 19)

Original Name: Leeta (body A) and Kitra (body B)
Species: Grikite (#4888)
Assimilation Date: 2334
Hierarchy: Engineering

Pre-assimilation life

12 of 19 - presently subdesignated Delta - was born on the Grikite colony world of Bridi as the twins Kitra and Leeta. Following their schooling, both were hired to the ship design firm of Astro-Engineering, as well as joined the local militia. While neither really expected Borg to attack their backworld colony, such did happen; and the militia was finally sent into action to defend their hometown of Grishna as the last line of defense. When Grishna was finally, and definitely, overrun by Borg, Leeta was badly hit by a disruptor and both ultimately captured.¹

(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]).
