The final one of our technicians that we have met so far in the Sagas
Sue-Lim Wang
Sue-Lim, like the other technicians first appeared in Season Seven - Orbis Terrarum En Concursus
Sue-Lim's mother was originally with the Viet Cong during the Vietnam war, but was successfully turned by
Mr Vee who was an intelligence officer at the time. At the fall of Saigon in 1975 Sue-Lim's mother was spirited out of Vietnam and given assylum in the UK, where on and off Mr Vee had an illicit affair with her, resulting in the birth of of Sue-Lim Wang in the mid to late 1980's.
Growing up,
Mr Vee appeared to take no place in Sue-Lim's life and Sue-Lim was convinced that her father had just abandoned her and her mother and went back to America. It was only on her mother's death bed did Sue-Lim find out that her father was some ranking official in Inter Dimensional Entity Control. By then Sue-Lim had been recruited as a librarian come technician at the IDEC-UK off-site storage unit nicknamed, The Annex. Here she worked with her childhood friends the late Jason Turner
(Killed during a surprise attack on the troll citadel Karam Tag Chou) and her fiancé
Pete Smith. What Sue-Lim did not know at the time, was that it was her father who engineered her recruitment to the IDEC UK
During her time at the IDEC-UK, she was tricked by Mr Davies,
Mr Vee's aide into reproducing the banned artificial wormhole generator, originally produced by Timothy Zachery a rouge technician at the IDEC-UK HQ,
(Known as the Facility).
As "reward" for this work, Mr Davies ordered her to be executed, or in official parlance,
Deep Cleaned by an IDEC Clean up squad along with
Jenny Green after he had
Colonel Samuel Peters and
Commander Mark Johnston arrested.
Her execution order was rescinded at the last minute by
Mr Vee himself, who then shot dead Mr Davies who had given the order to kill his daughter. It was later that Sue-Lim learned from the Colonel that the high ranking official in the IDEC-US who was her father was Mr Vee.
This revelation did not quite lead to reconciliation as she became resentful that her father was not letting her do things, like go on the fateful mission that would result in the death of Jason turner. She considered that after abandoning her, he was now interfering in her career.
She did finally manage to get her way to go on the mission in the Russian Prospect craft that was to close any rift that the Magnus Timor might open up around the world of the Mystical realms. This was because, not only was she a brilliant technician in her own right, after piecing together the artificial wormhole generator and working with
Dr Charlene Henshaw to augment two to allow heavy equipment and vehicles to pass through to the Mystical Realms, but because she also speaks fluent Russian. Sue-Lim learned this when as a child she accompanied her mother who was a contract cleaner at the Soviet Embassy in London.
Sue-Lim was one of the few from the IDEC-UK to return back to our universe after dealing with the Magnus Timor, and the only member of the team to have done a space walk, when she and the Russian pilot had to abandon the Progress craft to space walk to a the USS Endeavour space shuttle. (A space walk she only barely made alive)
On return to Earth, Sue-Lim found herself trapped in a bureaucratic nightmare and placed in an immigration detention centre in Florida. According to international law, any astronauts rescued in space must be returned to the country they were launched from. Sue-Lim was supposed to be going to Washington DC as the IDEC-UK had been wound up with all remaining personnel transferred to the IDEC-US, but for a time US Immigration insisted she had to return to Russia and apply for a visa to enter the US. It was suspected that the parentage of her mother was a cause of this.
It was only on the intervention of the chairman of the executive committee of the IDEC,
Kathryn Cooper that she was released and picked up in person by
Kathryn cooper. By that time Sue-Lim was sporting severe facial bruising which she passed off as a result of the emergency space walk, and she had a reluctance to talk about her time at the immigration centre.
Over her time subsequent to this, she suddenly had issues of intimacy with her Fiancé which she worked to overcome.
Pete Smith loves her and knows she loves him, so respected whatever Sue-Lim was working through. Periodically her new friend
Dr Charlene Henshaw would come across Sue-Lim after she had been crying, but Sue-Lim passed it off as a cold she had picked up.
The truth only came out, after they had found illegal surveillance devices in hers and Pate's billet at Quantico , allegedly planted by another government agency, which caused Sue-Lim to go AWOL. After tracking her down,
Dr Charlene Henshaw got from her that whilst at the immigration detention centre, she had been assaulted by a senior guard in revenge for the loss of his brother in the Vietnam war, and on his orders gang raped by two other guards.
Sue-Lim was then arrested on false charges by the FBI, and whilst in their custody attempted suicide by hanging with an enchanted scarf unwittingly delivered to her by
Celeste.
Sue-Lim was only saved when
Celeste blew away the door to the interrogation room and materialised briefly to scream for help.
