Note: This story takes place during and after the occupation of Bajor. Some characters are fictional, some are known Star Trek characters (and thus owned by Paramount). It mostly follows the DS9 and TNG storyline, but some changes are made to suit my crazy needs. :) This story will be updated every week.
All That You Can't Leave Behind
This is my story. An introduction is in place.
Chapter 01 - Prologue
My name is Susanna Ishan Cusack, adopted daughter of Ishan Chaye, biological daughter of Sophya Cusack. Medical examination shows I was born in april 2346, the year during which Terok Nor became operational. My mother was human, as was my biological father though no records were found of him. Out of respect for my Bajoran father I continue to carry his family name.
It is unknown how I came to live in the Bajoran sector, but a notebook Chaye left before he died states that he met my mother on Terok Nor. They engaged in some kind of relationship and after three months she disappeared, leaving me behind at the age of four. I spent most of my life aboard the station under the care of Chaye, until he was excecuted in 2366, after being wrongfully convicted of attempting to assassinate Gul Dukat, at that time Prefect of Bajor. Two months after his death I finished designing a control that would sabotage cranial implants used by members of the Obsidian Order. This device was smuggled off the station, only to be captured by a Cardassian military order. Under pressure of torture, my friend Marat Dane, confessed the designer of the control and I was arrested the same day.
I was imprisoned in what I would later learn was the former Gallitep labor camp, that was reopened after it's liberation by the Shakaar Resistance Cell in 2357. Amongst inmates, this camp was known as Boryhas, or spirits of the dead. This is what most of us became, and those who survived would continue to feel like.
This is my story.
