Dauk-Dauk

Dauk-Dauk is an Ithenite male who is the leader of the USS Admonitor's civilian crew.

History
Dauk was forced into the world of commerce at a young age. From this he learned shrewdness and cunning, as well as an eye for manipulating people to do what he wants of them.

Imprisonment
Sometime in the 25th Century, when word reached the Federation that the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-C) and the USS Admonitor had appeared, before Order 865 was reinstated, a plan was hatched to procure a group of saboteurs and spies onboard one or both of the ships in case something amiss should occur and the Federation needed someone on the inside. Knowing that it would be considered xenophobic if the crew of either ships kicked aliens off because of a conflict of interest, the Federation rounded up a small group of aliens chosen of at random: Dauk was one of them.

These people were brain-washed over a short period of time into believing that they had been slaves with a member of the Admonitor crew on Typhon III back in the 24th Century, and that they had evaded discovery by hiding in the cargo bay all this time. Furthermore, the more prominent members of the alien group were given command protocols inserted into their brain-washing, which gave them orders to sabotage or disrupt ship functions.

Just as Order 865 was enacted, before the Enterprise-C and Admonitor left Earth, the alien group, including Dauk, were beamed in to the cargo hold of the Admonitor.

Liberation
In 2407, the USS Admonitor and the Enterprise-C returned to Earth to rescue Edward Shield from incarceration and execution. Dauk was sent to the Cheyenne Mountain Complex to shut down the surface-to-orbit and base defenses, allowing the Away Team to beam into the base. While there, the mind-washing began to wear off and Dauk once again received some recognition of his past and his mission.

When the ships left, he beamed onto the Enterprise rather than the Admonitor. Using a plasma burst, Dauk forced a shutdown of the warp core, which stranded the ship there while the USS Admonitor made it to safety.
