Nethania's Early Life: Nethania was known for being a wild child. She was conceived from a donor egg. Braeton, her would be mother, was discovered to be terminally ill a week into her pregnancy. Nathaniel underwent Paternal Surrogacy, in which he carried Nethania inside his abdominal cavity. Nathaniel had been informed that eventually his male hormones would override Nethania's female hormones and change her into a baby boy, but for some freak of nature it never happened. Nethania was born a beautiful healthy baby girl, although she was discovered to be extremely tomboyish and completely infertile.

Nathaniel raised Nethania by himself for ten years and the two have a bond that is stronger than a normal father/daughter bond. Nethania's babysitter was often times her Uncle Maxwell, a physicist. It was in her uncle’s lab that she discovered she had a strong knack for science and particularly for Nano-science. Maxwell fostered that skill in Nethania until she could out do him on even the most difficult tasks; Nethania was only 8 when she did that.

Ayani: Nethania wasn’t happy with Ayani and despised the woman in the beginning. Ayani attempted to kill Nethania twice in an attempt to silence the young girl who found out she had slept with Maxwell Taylor, Nathaniel’s brother the day before her wedding. After the second attempt, the two became closer, but Ayani failed to become a mother figure for Nethania.

Alicia: The role of mother figure was passed on to Alicia Washington who first came into Nethania's life Christmas of 2126 when Nethania was only 12 years old. Alicia felt an instant connection to the troubled girl. When Nethania found she couldn’t go to her father, she often turned to the older woman for comfort and safety. No matter how strong their relationship was, it didn’t stop Nethania from punching Alicia in the nose when the field medic tried to tend to the battle injured young Taylor.

Nethania’s military career: Nethania, like all of the first born Taylors, was expected to go into the Army. Nethania broke tradition by joining the Marines and graduated from the Academy in Annapolis. The Taylors, including her father disowned her for it.

The Underdogs: All Underdogs had similar situations to Nethania; they are incredibly smart in specific tasks and come from a family that is traditionally bred for a specific branch other than the Marines and you have to fully willing to do things completely unorthodox. Tom Boylan and Cassie Durwin are both former Underdog members.

Teaming up with Dad: Eventually, through efforts from Admiral Roland and General Philbrick, Nathaniel and Nethania where brought back together and the Army soldier and Marine soldier served together on some missions.

Medal of Honor: Nethania has earned three Congressional Medals of Honor. Traditionally the US president puts the medal on the recipient, but when Nethania earned her third medal her father was given the special honor of putting it on her, Nathaniel claims it was the proudest moment of his life.

August 2138: Nethania disobeyed a direct order from Admiral Roland to stand down when she found out Ayani and Lucas had been taken captive. Nethania recalls it as the worst day of her life. They were all set to rescue Ayani and Lucas, when Nethania became distracted by her fritzing out binoculars. Nethania missed the opportunity to save them. The Underdogs stormed the village, rescued the survivors and got out. Nethania purposefully became separated from the others, taking Ayani’s body to safety where she utilized, for the first time, her life reviving serum. To prevent the secret of Nethania's discovery from getting out, Ayani was forced to go into hiding from the world. Nethania resigned from the military after returning to base. It was the first time she didn’t respond to her father’s gentle counseling.

Gone Spinosaurus: the Taylor family was ordered stateside for Ayani’s funeral and to rest and recover. Earlier the year before, Nethania and Lucas had found the remains of a Spinosaurus Aegypticus Lucas found the better remains, a near perfect femur. shortly after his mothers death, he gave it to Nethania in hopes that she would try to illegally clone a Spinosaurus and then ruin his father's life when she was arrested, it worked better than he had expected. Nethania was invited to do a news interview where the news report enraged her, Nethania, in front of live network television, nano-morphed for the first time into the dreadful Spinosaurus. Nethania went on a vicious rampage, destroying things and killing innocent bystanders. In a desperate attempt to save his daughter, Nathaniel ran to her; talking to her in his most gentle and calming voice, Nathaniel managed to soothe the savage beast, getting Nethania to return to human form.

Pangaea: Lucas sold his dinosaur fossils for top dollar and paid Mira to kill his half-sister. Roland intervened, nethania's death was faked using a toxin that dropped her vital signs to be undetectable by even the most sensitive of equipment. She was transported to Rio Brazil where he told her his plans to send her through a time fracture that her Uncle Maxwell Taylor had created.

After careful consideration, I deleted my other stories and compiled them into my first story as additional chapters.
