The Crew Ensign Zulah Zulah has come a long way from the days when we first rescued her, along with several other current Nova Dragons, from the clutches of slavers. Together with Raggy (and I often doubt that she needs his presence) she forms a rock from which many Nova Dragon ground operations can either be launched or recovered. Her martial prowess is second to none, whilst all of us have at one time appreciated the covering fire she has provided with a repeating blaster rifle. And yet there is more to her than a heavily armed and armoured behemoth. Our communications have never been so secure, and the capabilities we now have for voice pattern alteration have enhanced our operations immeasurably. And yet after all these months, what do any of us really know about Zulah the person? Very little has to be the answer. I have always prided myself that past indiscretions are no bar to entry to the Nova Dragons. It is what we do in the here and now that defines us, not mistakes made in extremis. Zulah's loyalty is, in my opinion, unquestionable and her commitment to our ongoing mission is second to none. She may not host dinner parties for any other crewmember, but then again she would not leave any of us behind if it were in her power to retrieve us. As with any other member of this crew, Nova Dragon or otherwise, I remain ready to offer friendship to any and all who would take it, and most of all to those who would reciprocate it.
