Is she dead?

I noticed she was in the shuttle bay when the cadets were heading off to prepare for the trip to Vulcan. Assuming that the Enterprise was the only ship to survive Nero's assault, does that mean she's possibly dead assuming she isn't seen on the Enterprise when it leaves? --Tanjo22 15:44, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

I could have sworn I saw her at the end. I'll probably watch the film again.- JustPhil 15:43, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Which ship was she assigned to? I remember she exchanged a smile with Uhura right after they both got their assignments but I missed the ship's name. Starfleetjedi 20:50, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Gaila was assigned to the Farragut along with Uhura, hence why she turned to Uhura and smiled. Uhura got out of it; Gaila didn't. --From Andoria with Love 01:09, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
That's just a conjecture; in the group of cadets Kirk was in earlier, they were assigned to many different ships. All we know is she grinned. – 99.7.171.65 05:31, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
By the way, even if she wasn't assigned to the Farragut (I'm sure she was), all of the ships in the fleet to which the cadets were being assigned were destroyed. As for the possibility of survivors, since the Narada was willing to destroy the Kelvin's evacuees and since there was no mention of survivors, it's pretty obvious Gaila is dead. Sorry, Gaila fans. --From Andoria with Love 03:49, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
In regard to seeing Gaila in the crowd at the end, I think there was another Orion or two in the Cadet crowd as well. - Adm. Enzo Aquarius...I'm listening 04:09, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
All the ships but one. Me, I'm holding out hope.– 99.7.171.65 05:31, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
Well, yah, all the ships except the Enterprise. Alas, she was not aboard Enterprise. --From Andoria with Love 05:45, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but where on Earth are you guys getting this notion she was assigned to the Farragut? Because she smiled? She just as well may have smiled because she got the Enterprise, obviously the plum assignment. No, until there is verified canon confirmation, she cannot be listed as dead, and declaring she was on the Farragut with no on-screen proof is equally absurd. --Ibanesse 04:25, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Lisa Vidal can be heard saying "Gaila, USS Farragut." I will double-check when I see it IMAX next weekend, but I'm almost certain of it. --From Andoria with Love 04:30, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Regardless, until we have definitive proof, the page must remain unclear on this, as per standard guidelines. Wikis don't do assumptions. --Ibanesse 04:36, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, but remember, it needs to be written from an in-universe POV. Noting that her fate is unknown should be done in the background. --From Andoria with Love 04:38, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
Then by all means, do so, if I am doing it incorrectly, but changing it back to the "she's dead" version is equally unacceptable. --Ibanesse 04:39, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
