What If: Saavik Performed A Mind Meld On David Marcus On The Genesis Planet? Find Out What Happens Next

Demora Sulu! Read her bio here:

stu’s the kind of guy to shout CONFESSION TIME (giving billy an aneurysm) at a party and says the most unhinged unasked for shitty story and then proceeds to laugh about it whilst everyone else is either disturbed or laughing along uncomfortably

lol PSA an oopsie happened but you can still sign up for Eridani episode prompts!!!

I’m currently writing up something right now, and you bet your ass Terrance Riley (and Sopek) are gonna be featured in it… 🥴

The S1 Prompt for Star Trek Eridani have been mistakenly removed from the collection (I am sorry, I'm still learning how to use the collection setting of the prompt meme). They are now up once more and you can sign up again in the claims you had, or if you're new, find new and interesting prompts! We were so glad to see such interest and I hope we can count on all of you again, despite this technical mishap.

Link to the collection and prompts Here.

Once again, many apologies.

Lieutenant junior-grade, Demora Sulu, helmsman

Daughter of Captain Hikaru Sulu of the U.S.S. Excelsior, Demora Sulu was born on March 24 2273. A bright and enthusiastic young crew member, her family ties made her close with many members of the crew of the NCC-1701 Enterprise. Her father, of course, but also Lieutenant Pavel Chekov, whom she considered as an uncle, as well as Nyota Uhura, who was named as her godmother. She was a close friend to Anton Pavlovich Chekov, and was secretly a bit disappointed that he decided to pursue a career in the junior ambassadorial corp rather than Starfleet. 

After graduating from Starfleet Academy in 2293, she was assigned as helmsman of the Enterprise-B on its launch. Having been on board during its disastrous rescue attempt of the El-Aurian ship and accident with the temporal energy ribbon was a very difficult experience for her. Following this event, Saavik also got closer to Demora, having only briefly met her at gatherings of the old Enterprise crew that they both happened to attend. 

Not only is Demora used to feeling like she has big shoes to fill due to her father’s success, but this experience at the helm during such an accident made her lose some confidence in her skills when she was assigned as helmsman of the U.S.S. Eridani as a lieutenant junior-grade in 2296, aged 23. Captain Saavik, having been a helmsman herself not so long before, often tried to be reassuring or to give words of encouragement that Demora is doing the right thing. As the mission of the Eridani progressed, she became more confident in herself, her skills and the path that she wanted to take.

She quickly developed a close friendship with navigator Wane Perry, whom she had met at the Academy and shared a few classes with. 

Her father taught her fencing, and she liked antique weapons. In her quarters was also a small habitat to a neutered pet tribble, gifted by her aunt Nyota.

Marithyk Ry’Anauk

Marithyk is Kyral’s younger brother by 4 years. Since his brother’s departure from the Andorian Imperial Guard, Marithyk had been fiercely protected by Kyral, but also very much encouraged by him when he expressed his interest in a scientific field, which Kyral believed to be safe. When he decided to follow a specialisation in xenobotany, it became clear he would have to work on planets after his schooling on Earth, the planet on which the relocated after Kyral’s Ushaan duel and his entry at the Academy, and that was far less pleasing to the older brother. 

He had an ever curious personality, with a great enthusiasm for any plant life, from its biological composition, ideal terrains, chemical structure and even symbolic meanings to various cultures. His general demeanour made him seem naive and unassuming, but his brother’s Ushaan and following months of fear on Andoria before they left for Earth, along with Kyral’s constant near paranoia made him very aware of the dangers of the world. 

As a result of being very sheltered by his brother, he had a deep longing for freedom of choice, which translated in his desire for pursuing sciences and space explorations in his domain of xenobotany. He was especially interested in rare flora, hoping one day to be able to analyse one sample of the botanical specimens grown in the Genesis Cave on Regula in the second phase of Project Genesis. 

After his brother’s departure as the Eridani’s First Officer, he began joining exploratory science vessels, and even returned to Andoria for the first time since he was 10 years old. 

Marithyk was introduced in the third season of Star Trek Eridani, when he became a commissioned xenobotanist on board the ship, but he was mentioned beforehand by his brother Kyral in many instances.

Ch. 3 is up! Here’s the art for it :)

Boy does Captain Kirk have a rough one in it. Don’t worry, it’ll get worse. ;)

Dr. Malachi Cohen, ship psychologist

As the ship’s psychologist, Dr. Cohen had one of the most important jobs on the Eridani. At least, that was what he told reluctant patients. He was known to use a direct approach, being a very good listening ear and an expert at encouraging self-reflexion and the development of proper coping mechanisms among crew. A very pragmatic man, he did not believe in space madness or other superstitions, which he often joked as being ironic, given that he was a practicing religious man. Inside and outside of his work, he tended to use a lot of sarcasm, using it to diffuse the atmosphere as well as blowing off steam when needed. 

As a psychologist, it was his professional opinion that everyone could benefit from counseling and therapy, and he attempted many times to convince even the Vulcan crew members to attempt it at least once, proposing a logical approach reminiscent of the teaching of Surak used by mind-healers in Gol. It was one of his greatest sources of frustration on the ship as Captain Saavik and Sopek repeatedly refused. 

While being a friendly person, his unique line of work made him stand apart from a lot of the crew, mainly due to patient confidentiality, and he struggled with that loneliness. Despite that, he felt too fulfilled by his work on exploration ships to change careers and opted to consult a fellow therapist himself via holocalls.
