Biography[]
In the year 2253, Oyama was ranking officer on the bridge during the ship's visit to Areta when Captain Pike called asking for a lifeform scan in a particular region. She quickly relayed that there was a large concentration near a massif, with nothing between them and Pike's location. Pike then asked her to have him and three others beamed to within a kilometer of that location, and she relayed coordinates to the transporter room. (TOS novel: Vulcan's Glory)
In 2268, Oyama reported to Security Chief Vincent DeSalle. She, DeSalle, and Gomez were the security detail accompanying Leonard McCoy, Christine Chapel and Helen Gordon in a shuttlecraft to the planet Midgwis to investigate the activities of Yarblis Geshkerroth, who had assumed the identity of Kirk. They searched huts belonging to a Federation contact team. When the landing party visited a Klingon encampment, Oyama and Gomez served as sentries hidden in nearby brush. (TOS novel: Ghost-Walker)
