History[edit | edit source]
In 2269, Romaine, a lieutenant, was assigned to supervise an equipment transfer to Memory Alpha that was carried out by the USS Enterprise. Early in the mission, her first deep space assignment, she developed a romantic relationship with Lieutenant Commander Montgomery Scott, the ship's chief engineer. Soon after, non-corporeal entities from the planet Zetar II attempted to take control of Romaine's mind and body. The Zetarians were driven out and destroyed after Romaine was placed in a pressure chamber, where atmospheric pressures greater than the entities could survive freed her of their influence. She then began her tour of duty at Memory Alpha. (TOS episode & Star Trek 6 novelization: The Lights of Zetar)
Following her being cleared for duty at Memory Alpha, Starfleet assigned a young Vulcan named Simus to assist Romaine in dealing with her exposure to the Zetarians and to monitor her for any aftereffects. Using what he had learned from Romaine (and others), Simus helped establish what would eventually be named the Mira Romaine Center for Rehabilitation and Reintegration at Betazed Station 4. Simus and his staff went on to treat several Starfleet officers whose minds were formerly controlled by other species. (TNG novel: Takedown)
Later in 2269, Mira was posted to the USS Rainbow Warrior. She served a short time there, then took a three-month course at the Vulcan Academy. She joined the Memory Prime implementation team, and was assigned as the Chief Technician of the facility. Chief Technician Romaine was instrumental in the identification and apprehension of an attempted assassin, tr'Nele, on Memory Prime.
Mira discovered that she had the ability to directly communicate with the synthetic consciousnesses, the Pathfinders, without the need for a circuit-based interface. Lieutenant Commander Spock postulated that her ability to dissociate her mind from her body in this way was the reason the Zetarians were drawn to her. (TOS novel: Memory Prime)
By 2286, she had risen to the rank of captain and was the chief archivist of the Memory Alpha project. That year, she arranged a live subspace link between the Memory Alpha computers and the USS Enterprise-A, as part of a clandestine effort between members of Starfleet, the Romulan Star Navy, and Klingon Defense Force to defeat a group of malevolent creatures who had killed many members of each organization over the preceding decades. She joined Captain James T. Kirk aboard the Enterprise for the duration of the unauthorized mission. (TOS comic: "Debt of Honor")
