Baddest. Redshirt. Ever.

Karen finished up the stats for Senior Chief Petty Officer Xi'an Coy Mahn this morning, meaning that all of the characters are now set for the second season of USS Carter. Coy Mahn had appeared briefly as an NPC on the security team in the first season who, like O'Brien before her, has been upgraded to full PC status.

As part of her shared history with First Officer Funk, Xi'an was part of the reverse boarding party that overran the Klingon ship that was boarding the USS Sprague. While Funk and some others went to the bridge, Coy Mahn sneaked into the security decks, ambushing Klingons and killing them unarmed (because a phaser shot would show up on the Klingon's internal sensors and reveal her presence) and blew up their internal weapons and secondary tactical control. The image that's coming to mind is putting Zoe from Firefly into a red miniskirt.

For all that, she's still a non-com security staffer. A redshirt. She just happens to be the most combat worthy, sharp-eyed and sneaky redshirt in Starfleet. So now the Carter should start beaming down 2 redshirts, so that the monster can kill the *other* one and Xi'an can kill the monster.
