"There is a condition worse than blindness, and that is, seeing something that isn't there..."
Tas'nalu sha Ran'emi, or Tas for short, was born on Penthara IV, during the asteroid strike that slowly rendered the planet lifeless. Blind since birth, Tas, like many of the members of her race was attuned to the planet's elements, mainly Earth, from a very young age. Even as the planet was breaking down she learned to control the rocks and soil around her, as well as minerals and ore such as iron, silver, and zinc. When the planet was no longer safe she and her family wandered, seeking sanctuary on a space station. While there Tas was taken under the wing of a kind engineer who taught her the inner workings of the ships that would come in for repair, since she was a quick study and seemed not to wish any harm to the Federation. Though never officially joining Starfleet she offers her services to ships in need of Engineers, acting rather like a travelling mechanic.
