Kamal Zaman: Difference between revisions

'''Kamal Zaman''' is a [[civilian]] from [[Coral]].  

Originally from [[Coral]], he emigrated to [[Earth]] for medical school. In [[2537]], his younger sister, [[Yasmine]], was inducted into the [[SPARTAN-II]] program and replaced with a [[Flash-Cloning|flash clone]].<ref name="eleven">[[Axon Clips Chapter 11]]</ref> After watching what he believed to be his sister's degradation, he decided to become a doctor and left for Earth.<ref name="three">[[Axon Clips Chapter 3]]</ref>

At some point, Kamal suspected his girlfriend was cheating on him, and hacked into her [[chatter]] to find out for sure. It is unclear what happened, but their relationship ended.<ref name="one">[[Axon Clips Chapter 1]]</ref>

In the year [[2552]], his mother set him up with the daughter of one of her friends, named [[Sophia Bossedon]]. However, Sophia was already dating a local gangster named [[Aiden Maki]], but she knew her mother would disapprove of her dating someone from Earth so she didn't tell her.<ref name="one" />

While Kamal was researching flash cloning, about how soon the clone's body starts failing, he realized that his sister had died the same way. In other words, his sister had been replaced with a flash clone.<ref>[[Axon Clips Chapter 7]]</ref>

Kamal soon became paranoid, believing that [[ONI]] was spying on him. In fact, it was [[Durga]], a fragment of the [[Melissa (AI)|Melissa]], a smart [[AI]] created from his sister's brain after her death. While trying to track her down, Sophia came to tell him that she was being deported. Aiden had been arrested, and several of the visas he'd arranged were canceled, including hers.<ref>[[Axon Clips Chapter 8]]</ref> After reports came in of Coral's [[glassing]], they decided to make a run for it. Sophia made a detour to bail out Aiden and was arrested. Kamal figured Sophia had abandoned him, and left town to track down the one spying on him.<ref>[[Axon Clips Chapter 9]]</ref>

Kamal found [[Jersey Morelli]]'s apartment, with Durga living in his computer. Durga explained how Yasmine was taken and trained to be a Spartan but ultimately died from the augmentations. Durga claimed that she was a mere copy of her personality, but Kamal insisted that he could still hear Yasmine in her. Durga offered him a job, saying that it was another chance to save her, and he accepted.<ref>[[Axon Clips Chapter 10]]</ref>

Durga's team of Kamal, Jersey, [[Janissary James]] and [[Rani Sobeck]], broke into [[Chawla Base]] to deactivate the [[Deep-Space Artifact]], a [[Forerunner]] device broadcasting a countdown timer. When Kamal was just about ready to give up, Durga told him that Sophia didn't run off with Aiden as he had thought, but that she was arrested. Kamal asked why she didn't tell him sooner, and Durga responded that before she wanted him willing to die, but now she wanted him motivated to live. Kamal was then certain that she was Yasmine because only she could be such a brat. Jersey was soon able to disable the artifact, but it first sent out a massive [[Slipspace]] wave that reassembled all the fragments of Melissa and also awakened Yasmine's mind. They were able to escape the base and get back to Jersey's apartment.<ref name="eleven" />
