Ola Lila was a female Olipheranth who was serving onboard the scout ship Magra, when it was inadvertently shot down over Glassdell (Mars). The ship was of unique design, and was entirely filled with water. It was crewed by two Olipheranth and one Homocarcharodon Caracharias (shark anthro), and was meant for extended flights through deep space. The two other crew members were killed in the crash of the small ship, it only being 75 meters long, and an easy target for Glassdell's orbital missile sattelites. Ola was recovered from the wreckage with minor injuries, ushering in the Earthain Empire's first encounter with extra-quadrant life, as they had encountered aliens in the past, but only those in the immediate surrounding solar systems.

Ola Lila was transported to a research facility within Glassdell's Sabaeus mountain range where she recovered, being housed in a large tank for observation. She was rather intelligent, and managed to escape from her confinements on just her second day being held there. Although, she was unable to open the sealed door to the laboratory, and returned to her tank as her skin and lung were drying out. She was reprimanded by her human captors, even though she could not understand them, and proceeded to escape from her container every night for the next week before they were able to create a method of keeping her within the tank. They actually had to electrify the edges where the hood of tank and the rim met, as the cartilage and muscles in her tentacles were flexible and strong enough to squeeze through even the smallest gap, but this made escaping quite unpleasant.

Ola remained in human captivity on Glassdell for a total of two Earthain months, where she was studied and examined throughrouly, and even anestesized for a full body MRI and HFIR (High Frequency Imaging Radar, 'Heffer' for short) scans. Her attending was changed to a young human male by the name of Andrew Rowmaker, who took much better care of her than her previous, who had his left femur broken in two places when he prodded Ola with an electrified rod, while she was misbehaving. Her bahaviour improved dramatically under Andrew's watch, but he was reprimanded for letting her out of her holding tank on several occasions, even though he argued it was the confinement that was driving her to escaping and misehaving.

After two months, a small contingent of Middenian warships arrived over Glassdell, using a Blackforce emmiter to hide their presence. Andrew had learned much of Midden's basic language, and was interacting with Ola when a Sundart landing craft touched down outside the research facility, and a phalanx of Eternal Guardsmen swarmed in, incapacitating the guards and any personnel they encountered with their weapons, which overloaded the nervous system of it's target, leaving them quivering unconcious, and usually either vomiting or deficating. Or both.

The team entered the lab where Ola was being held, but held their fire at Ola's request. They were all heavily armored Venrocks, and Andrew and most of the rest of the faculty simply thought them to be humans. Ola was transported out of the facility, where she managed a final goodbye to Andrew, before the ship ascended to the waiting floatilla overhead, which immediately returned to Midden, without so much as a blip on Glassdell's radar.

Ola served for eight more years in the Midden Royal Navy's Advanced Scouting Division, wand was noted for her writings on Human beings and their behaviour,
