Voyages of the Eridani

River, weep gently for us

What's in a name

One for all and all for one

Hey Joan

The Merchant

Butchers and paupers

Stage Q

Where one must thread

Under thy skin

Green thumb

Two birds with one stone

The first born

The Dreamers

From a cut of a scalpel

Smoke and Mirrors

Does the abyss stare back?

The time-sifter

By star benign I

By star benign II

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.  

Is it better to die from the consequences of your own hubris, or to be forced to live with them?

This is a chart depicting David Marcus’ injuries post-botched-Genesis resurrection on Star Trek: Eridani.

Idk if this has been done before but

Commander Kyral Ry’Anauk, First Officer of the U.S.S. Eridani

Kyral Ry’Anauk is the eldest son of Kisharn and Vi’al Ry’Anauk, who were both part of the Andorian Imperial Guard. He has a brother, Marithyk, who is younger by three years. As a child, he planned to follow in their footsteps after their death and serve as well. At 14 years old, a fellow Andorian pupil declared Ushaan as a way to avenge his father, as Kyral’s own parents were his commanding officer during a fight on the outskirts of Andorian space. The duel was disputed and later annulled before the death of either participants when said rival grabbed Kyral’s brother to use him as a human shield. While the challenger was penalized and removed from serving as an Imperial Guard, this event left Kyral with deep emotional scars, as well as physical ones, prompting him to leave his training and set his sight on safer options for himself and his remaining family, as he feared that others could still hold vitriol due to the actions of his parents in the field and refused to endanger Marithyk because of it. He endeavoured to keep his little brother safe from troublemakers and any ill-meaning people, sometime to the point of overprotection.

At 18 years old, he joined Starfleet Academy and moved to Earth, spending 4 years on the command track and building his stamina to compensate for his higher Andorian metabolism compared to humans. His combat instructors often praised his qualities as a fighter, and encouraged him to continue working to combat the exhaustion that would quickly settle in for him in hand-to-hand combat. Kyral had a hard time admitting to weaknesses of any kind, and put a lot in effort to palliate that difficulty.

Due to the mental impact of his traumatizing duel, he often had to consult with psychology specialists at the Academy, despite his reluctance to do so.

After graduation, Kyral postponed assignments to ships or far from Earth for a long time as Marithyk went to study xenobotany at the University of Princeton, to remain close to his brother. Only once Marithyk pushed him to take up field assignments did he truly start to move up the ranks, getting assigned to the U.S.S. Hornet until becoming a commander and being transferred to the Eridani for its five years mission under Captain Saavik at 37 years old.

As per Starfleet command’s request, he was required to consult the ship’s psychologist on a regular basis, given that it was his first deep space assignment as First Officer. He did not like these sessions and how vulnerable they made him feel. He was highly critical of ship psychologist Dr. Cohen, but eventually grew to respect him.

At the start of the mission and for its first few years, he had a hard time connecting with Captain Saavik, but they eventually fell into a rhythm and came to an understanding as a command team.

I was talking to my friend and it hit me that there is SO much potential for a My Big Fat Greek Wedding Spirk AU.

Like dude. Just picture it.

30 something year old Spock trying to live his life and gain some autonomy from the bounds of Vulcan culture and trying to date Kirk in secret. Spock having a big ass family and the reason he keeps not telling Jim about his relatives is because he can’t keep track of them there’s so many. Instead of a bunch of cousins named “Nick” Spock has ten Vulcan relatives all named Selek. He secretly has no idea who is who (much less which part of the family they’re from).

The scene where they find out about Toula’s boyfriend and they’re like oh so YOURE Mr Pottery Class EXCEPT it’s “ah, so YOU must be Mr Transwarp Theory Logistics,” and Jim is like sweating bullets while Spock is internally hemorrhaging.

Jim having to undergo various Vulcan rituals and learning the language in order to impress Spock’s family.

Someone PLEASE write this. Like.

Jim: I’m sorry I didn’t ask to date your son, but sir, he’s THIRTY years old!

Sarek:

Jim: Alright. May I.. PLEASE ,, date your son???

Sarek: …

Sarek: no.

Jim: …

Jim: I’ll see you tomorrow Spock

(Bonus points for Sybok - or Michael- being like Hey Jim! We’re gonna kill ya!) ⌄ ⌄
