Profile
Geordi was born without optic nerves. His parents' varying duties often
seperated the family, and Geordi shipped out with one or the other of his
parents, but seldom both. Sometime after he turned eight years old, Geordi
was given an answer to his blindness, a prosthetic device called a VISOR
which allows Geordi to see the entire range of human sight and the rest of
the electromagnetic spectrum. This ability, completely overlooked in some
cases ("Disaster", where Doctor�Crusher pointed out to Geordi that a wall in
the ship was heating up which he apparently had not noticed), has also
gotten Geordi out of some tight scrapes ("The�Enemy", to name just one). But
when captured by the Romulans, Geordi was brainwashed and his VISOR was used
to relay instructions to him in an attempt to use him to assassinate a
Klingon governor and make it look like a Federation operation. The plot was
stopped barely in time, and it's safe to assume that Geordi's VISOR was re-
paired so he wouldn't become a Romulan puppet again, and perhaps it was even
completely foolproofed.
Geordi has never been very lucky in love. Whenever he finaly gets bite the
girl just disappears from the serie. This was the case with both Christy and
Sonya Gomez. He's also tried with Dr. Leah Brahms, one of the designers of
the Enterprise, it worked fine on the Holo-deck (Her as an image..) but when
he met her in real life, it turned out she was married...
