About Me
Bred in the hive farms of the military creche, Diana's fate was decided even before she became a hatchling. From infancy, she was indoctrinated in methods of survival and fed nutrients designed to stimulate growth and deaden the emotional response centers. The purpose of the program was to breed professional soldiers, individuals who could kill and command. As Diana grew to adulthood, she was educated in the sciences required for work on a spacecraft. She excelled, having decided that she wanted to someday command a mother ship on an invasion foray to a distant world.
Diana and her coterie of agents had supported the Leader in his coup, never letting him know that his opponent lost via subtle subterfuge. The new Leader was pro-war, and work on an invasion fleet commenced at an accelerated pace along with intelligence-gathering on the human way of life and Fifth Column activities on Earth. Various samples of humans were secretly kidnapped and brought back for careful scanning and vivisection to develop artificial human skin that would disguise Sirian infiltrators. The Leader wanted to take the planet quickly and quietly so as not to expend any more of their planet's dwindling resources than necessary.
Diana, while having worked her way up to a position of authority, was still subject to the wishes and whims of one of the fleet commanders, a female who had not been part of the old creche program and to whom the military was a job that carried great social prestige. Diana hated her, and coveted the highest goal of her indoctrinated life. As the armada neared Earth, it was D'ana who suggested that it would further the bond of trust if they were to turn their alien names into closely-approximated human equivalents.
The contact and subterfuge went well, but Diana did not reckon with the wiles of human nature, or that someone like Donovan, whose job it was to uncover truth where only suspicions lay, lurked among them. As reprisal, Diana had Donovan's son kidnapped while other Visitor personnel tricked Donovan's mother into supporting their efforts in return for favors. But Diana continued to clash with her own commander, and when the Resistance unleashed their bacterial weapon, Diana took the opportunity to slay her superior and assume the position for herself. Diana then also single-handedly murdered the fleet Supreme Commander, leaving only her in authority. But her power was short-lived, as she set the mother ship to self-destruct and then fled in a shuttlecraft, only to be later captured by the Resistance.
A year later, while being tried for crimes against humanity, she escaped through the nefarious machinations of Bates and his hired gun, Tyler. Diana knew Bates wanted her to reveal the secrets of the captured mother ship, and she intended to give him only trivial information until she was in a position to steal the powerful vessel back. But a Fifth Columnist stepped in to alter her plans, much to her advantage. Diana escaped and managed to reach a control center where she was able to contact the waiting fleet, which rescued her.
On board the mother ship, she renewed her war against humanity, resisting even the Leader's final call for negotiations. But she went too far when she plotted to have the Leader assassinated and place the blame on human rebels. The plot was uncovered and she found herself under arrest and a prisoner of her own people.The CricketSoda Myspace Editor!
