Xintal Linojj

[Meste17]

So I have read on the Memory Beta article on a Commander Xintal Linojj, who famously served as executive officer aboard a certain famous ship called the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-B).

I read that in 2319, she became grievously wounded when a portal to another universe amputated her arm, as per The Lost Era novel One Constant Star. What could this possibly mean for her career? Might she have to step down as first officer? Will she remain XO of the Enterprise?

Is it plausible that a bionic substitute is proposed to him as they did to Nog?
It does not seem so advanced that it can not be available at the beginning of the 24th century.

I don't see why it would have a significant effect - command level officers tend not to have jobs where a full set of limbs, eyes, etc, are essential to their performance, especially if fully functional or near-fully functional replacements are available. Certainly commanding a starship with one arm would be somewhat less taxing than flying a Spitfire with no legs.

It is true, especially considering that the vocal interfaces seem completely complementary to the physical ones, in the on-board systems.

In Melora, she expressed amazement that anybody would design a station which had poor facilities for disabled people. Seems to me the implications of that are that Starfleet is very much in favour of disabled personnel continuing to serve. So sure, I don't see it impacting anything.
