OOC: As per this post: https://www.star-fleet.com/core/command/command/posts/293294/?page=1

Eela Dasca had learned a great deal in her six decades of life. Forty years in uniform had taught her discipline, and endurance. Years as a therapist taught her how to hold space for the pain of others.

Learning to hold space for her own pain was a much harder lesson and had not come easily. But in embracing all the new revelations in her life, she also understood that as much as she wanted challenges and thrived in those environments, she needed more ease. She had earned a break. A true break where she wasn’t running from one mission to the next.

The truth was that as much as she was good at this job, and as much as Oed had helped her become more herself than she had ever been, it had also taken from her. She needed to pause and reassess her life and what she wanted. So, she made a difficult decision and stepped down as Lieutenant Governor.

She packed up her life and rather than go back to Earth, which had never felt like home, her and Caridee, and Kian and Alais went to Halii. Her daughter and family were there to have an extended vacation, but Eela was there to heal something deeply spiritual in her that had been broken. It was what she needed right now.

But Oed has sunk deep into her soul and she suspected that she’d return again. Oed was like that. It claimed you and once it did, you were never truly gone from the place.
