History: Born in New, New York, Earth, Sage grew up in a normal family setting. The Brennans have run a successful travel business for the last 83 years and hoped all their children would choose to work in said business when they finished their educational studies. Sage was not so inclined. She always had her head in a book about the stars, so when she reached the appropriate age to enter Starfleet Academy, she did.

Her course of training followed the requisite subjects on protocol, diplomacy, basic first aid, target range , etc., but she specialized in counseling. Without the special attributes a telepath could bring to the Counselor’s position, Sage had to study harder than some in order to make the same grades. She took extra blocks of instruction, like body language, emotional auditory evaluation, and facial familiarization. The total effort she put in to her training resulted in excellent marks all across the board and she graduated with honors.

Her first ship assignment was the USS Constellation. She served there in an apprentice position successfully for two years before being transferred to the USS Argo with a promotion to LT jg. It was during her four year tenure there as CNS that she was part of an Away Team who beamed down into a hostage situation. Lt jg Brennan was negotiating with the captors for the release of their prisoners back in to the hands of Starfleet where they would get a fair trial. One of the captors fired on the Starfleet negotiation team against the direct orders of his leader. Lt Brennan was hit in the chest with the projectile from his weapon and her heart suffered major damage.

Due to circumstance and the inability of the then present CMO, Lt Brennan’s life signs ceased to exist for almost two minutes. It was because of quick thinking on the part of Lt jg Alan Kuryack, a medical support officer, that she survived at all. Once he got her heart started again, she was put on life support while the Argo headed for the nearest medical station. Brennan was given the best medical treatment possible for the area of space and the moment in time. She now has a mechanical heart, her own having suffered too much damage to be repaired sufficiently, and no cloning apparatus available to grow her a new one at the facility where the surgery was performed. The trauma of the ‘near death’ experience has left Lt Brennan unwilling to risk another surgery to have the man-made heart replaced with one from her own tissues.

During the following years, Sage studied medicine and got a second degree as a Doctor of biology and surgeon. Although she has worked most of her career as a counselor, she keeps up to date on medical journals to keep her license active.
