Lina

Lina (Lieutenant) is Sil's Security Officer. She is a Coreate who has served with Sil for over 40 years, and is Sil's second most trusted officer, after Kir. Lina adores Kir, and constantly seeks his attention... often sleeping on Kir's head or back when Kir is sleeping or relaxing. Kir is annoyed by this, but he does genuinely like Lina, so he occassionally tolerates her affections. Lina is an extremely intelligent being, and an endless source of on-demand information. She is also very adept at discerning how events will "play out", given just a few key initial factors. This makes Lina an exceptional security officer, as she can usually discern or sense impending danger to Sil, long before the danger is actually present. Sil often refers to Lina as "My Fortune-Teller." Lina usually responds, "I cannot see into the future... I merely interpret current events and actions, and logically predict the only realistic, inevitable outcome, based upon those facts."

When studying human history, Lina researched the events of World War II from the beginning until 1943. Then, Lina said, "The USA invaded the beaches of Northern France, and after Germany was defeated, the USA dropped an atomic bomb on Japan." Lina's instructor said, "How could you possibly have known that?" Lina responded, "Given the available facts, it was inevitable." This kind of deductive ability has made Lina a very much sought-after instructor in the field of security and preventive tactics. Lina is also a Chess Grandmaster.

Lina often assists Sil with covert operations, gathering intelligence and information. This has been especially useful on Earth, where Lina can pass without hindrance almost anywhere, as she appears to be a common House-Cat.

Lina was once "captured" on a military installation, after which one of the officers took Lina home to his 8-year-old daughter. Lina escaped shortly thereafter, but not before the officer's daughter had posted photos of "Cuddles" on her Facebook page, wearing a pink bonnet and little pink shoes. Sil an Kir delight in bringing up those photos on their computers and cellphones, and laughing about them whenever Lina is nearby. "Ohhh... Cuddles... Come Here, Little Kitty!" Lina will usually look at them and say, "You know that I can take a nasty S#*t in your shoes, and kill you in your sleep, right?"
