There was a substantially long pause before there was a chirp.

=/\= Solomon Kane is a fictional character created by the pulp-era writer Robert E. Howard. A late 16th–early 17th century Puritan, Solomon Kane is a somber-looking man who wanders the world with no apparent goal other than to vanquish evil in all its forms. His adventures, published mostly in the pulp magazine Weird Tales, often take him from Europe to the jungles of Africa and back.

Howard described him as a tall, sombre and gloomy man of pale skin, gaunt face and cold eyes, all of it shadowed by a slouch hat. He is dressed entirely in black and his weaponry usually consists of a rapier, a dirk, and a brace of flintlock pistols. During one of his later adventures his friend N’Longa, an African shaman, gave him a juju staff that served as a protection against evil but could easily be wielded as a weapon. It is revealed in another story, “The Footfalls Within”, that this is the mythical Staff of Solomon, a talisman older than the Earth and unimaginably powerful, much more so than even N’Longa knew. In the same adventure with N’Longa, Kane is seen using a musket as well. =/\=

There was a pause and then the computer continued.

=/\= Star Fleet records show a Medical officer Ensign Solomon Kane serving on the vessel Matador at the time of it’s destruction on Stardate 90632.45 (May24th, 2232) Do you wish to access that record? =/\=

Computer

Stopping dead in her tracks, Aizala muttered under her breath, “Wait. What?” Shaking her head, she replied =/\= Yes please. =/\= She wondered if that Solomon Kane might be a relative of the Solomon Kane she knew. After all, it couldn’t be the same person! He would be dead by now!

There was a chirp and the computer brought up the personnel file.

Name: Kane, Solomon
Birthdate: Unknown
Place of Birth: New Detroit Colony, Parses System, Alpha Quadrant
Parents: Unknown

The rest of the record was fairly generic in format, if not content. Solomon Kane was an orphan who spent years on the street as a youth. He had an aptitude for biology and medical sciences, and overcame great hardships to become a highly decorated Paramedic and specialist in Search and Rescue with the New Detroit Fire Department. A successful tenure there brought him to the attention of a Star Fleet officer and eventually he was admitted to the Academy. A contentious career there had him graduate with a Physician’s Assistant designation. He was cleared for his M.D., but never applues for the licensure. He was a skilled doctor and was on his way to a successful career by all accounts when the ship he was on was destroyed with all hands.

The picture assigned to the file was of a heavily tattooed man with wild hair and piercing green eyes… an exact facial match to the man she had examined.

Computer

Having returned to her desk once again, Aizala read the file with interest, the picture not registering with her at first. But when she did look at the picture she felt her jaw drop. Not wanting to believe that this was the same person, she asked, =/\= Computer, did Solomon Kane have siblings or children? Or any other known relatives? Anyone still alive today? =/\=
