Biography

Yong took part in the Battle of Adena, after an illicit operation prompted by Commander Naderi resulted in Dominion ground forces coming under attack by the zerg, and being forced to ally with Daelaam forces under Admiral Urun for mutual survival. After their forces allied, the two endured an assault from the Niadra Brood, with Yong taking a hit to the arm from a hydralisk's needle spine, but used a stimpack to dull the pain. A member of the squad named Elms sensed a zerg presence in the caverns behind them with her psionic powers, and ordered the squad to investigate. When objections were raised by the squad, Yong defended Elms, saying her powers had allowed them to survive this far.

Yong and her fellow marines

The squad ventured into caverns below, encountering creep. Elms was then ambushed by an infestor, which Yong killed, shooting the strange larva it produced. When Yong turned to Elms for further orders, Gary protested that a mercenary should not be leading them. Further in they discovered a massive swath of zerg held in reserve. During a fighting retreat, Elms revealed to her squad that Commander Naderi and Captain Hogarth's operation was illegal and black market, and that they intended to pocket the proceeds. Yong tossed a grenade at the oncoming zerg, collapsing part of the cavern and allowing her squad to escape. Up above Elms contacted the protoss who were making a last stand against Niadra to buy the terrans time to escape. Elms ordered the squad to move to the nearest dropship, but after overwhelming the protoss Niadra ordered her zerg to advance on Yong and her allies.

Yong pilots the dropship

As the group sprinted toward a dropship, they contacted Captain Hogarth, but when he realized that the squad had not retrieved the jorium, he cut communications and left orbit. The terrans were able to escape through a shipping hangar. Yong stuck with Elms as they fought through the zerg, battling through another group of infestors, and offering to kill Elms if they ever got her. The group fought through to a nearby dropship, when Elms was psionically assaulted by Niadra. In order to stop the attack Yong punched Elms unconscious, piloting the dropship offworld. In the rear, the rest of the marines discovered a cache of jorium in the ship's cargo hold.

On the dropship, Yong watched the news as they reported that the mercenaries were responsible for the Battle of Adena, and that they had all died on the surface. Yong greeted Elms, who had awoken, and told her that knocking her out was a one time thing. Yong then told Elms a Dominion battlecruiser was tailing them and firing warning shots, to which Elms said they would try to escape to a buyer she had for the jorium. Gary reacted violently, forcing Elms to knock him down with a punch. Yong commented on how strange Gary was acting as Elms set them on a course for their buyer.

The group arrived at the Last Junction, and Elms suggested that Yong and Contreras stay behind, with Yong noticing Elms getting headaches around the jorium. When Contreras voiced that they could not trust Elms, Yong talked her down, saying she had helped them so far. However found themselves surrounded by the mercenaries affiliated with James Sykes, and were contacted by Elms, who gave Yong a tip that they would be ambush by saying their split would be "three ways." Yong opened fire on them and a firefight broke out. In the midst of the fight Gary stumbled out, vomited and mutated into an infested terran. He tore through the mercenaries and ran off into the outpost. Yong contacted Elms, and the two exchanged their situations, Elms telling Yong they had been double=crossed, and Yong telling Elms that Gary was about to make the outpost a warzone.

Personality and Traits

Yong and Elms

Over the course of the Battle of Adena, Yong became trusting of Elms, even in spite of the psionic powers she hid from her squad. She was able to shrug off battlefield injuries with the aid of stimpacks, and kept a good sense of humor even during the heat of battle.
