| Personal History | Saeko Busujima was born September 5, 2368. Her father left her mother when Saeko was 3, and when she was 6, her mother was arrested and charged with possession of Romulan Ale. It was these events in tandem that led to Saeko developing abandonment issues. With her father uninterested in taking care of her, having relinquished custody when he left, Saeko was placed into foster care. Growing up, Saeko was unsure of what exactly she wanted to do with her life. She tried out for a couple of sports, but her tenures ended with her taking her frustrations out on her coaches before rage quitting. However, she did find out there were two things she was good at; sword combat and flying. However, as there wasn't much of a career to be made out of being a swordsman, Saeko decided to go into Starfleet so she could fly all day long. However, during Saeko's time in the Academy, it became evident that they were interested in making her into a "Jane of All Trades." When she graduated from the Academy in 2388 with the rank of Ensign, she was assigned to the USS Fujimi as a Science Officer. Even though it wasn't the job she wanted, she was incredibly proficient at the job she had, and within a year of graduating, Saeko found her collar a half pip heavier with a promotion to Lieutenant JG. However, shortly after gaining her extra half pip, a superior officer pulled Saeko aside and attempted to sexually assault her. But Saeko was more skilled in self defense than he realized. While Saeko was successfully able to defeat her attacker, she didn't stop and continued beating him until she was found and had to be pulled off him. The superior officer was near death as he was rushed off to sickbay. This event led to her demotion to Ensign in retaliation, and though Saeko was promised an inquiry into the superior officer's actions, she was quietly shunted off to the USS Irohazaka before any action was taken. Saeko spent the next five years or so drifting around, working various jobs aboard various ships as she was needed, making true to the "Jane of All Trades" that Starfleet had desired of her. That was, until 2394, when someone aboard her (at the time) most recent assignment, the USS Ibaraki, referred her to an opening in the USS Tokyo's fighter wing. After some deliberation, Saeko decided to move forward with the opportunity, as it would finally grant her what she had been wanting to do, and that was fly. However, Saeko found that, like her previous assignments, her reputation had preceded her. Compounded with the fact that she and two other pilots, then-Ensign Mika Fujimoto and Lieutenant Iowa Riverside, had been vouched for by the unpopular Air Boss, Lieutenant Takeshi Nakazato, Saeko soon found that her only friends on board the Tokyo were Riverside and Fujimoto. In 2395, while the Tokyo was under investigation for the destruction of Alvatar, Saeko went on a camping trip with Iowa, and during the trip, Saeko opened up and admitted that her time since the attempted assault, in which she had become known as the "crazy, unpredictable girl" had been weighing heavily on her, and at Iowa's suggestion, Saeko put in a request for an LOA. A year later, in 2396, a fresh-faced Saeko decided now was the time to return to active duty. When she reported in to Starfleet, Saeko was informed that her former position as a fighter pilot aboard the Tokyo was still available. Still wanting to get out there and fly, Saeko agreed to return to the Tokyo. |
