Hey Billy Loomis, Can We Go

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.

Idk if this has been done before but

Captain Saavik of the USS Eridani

Lieutenant junior-grade Wane Perry, navigator

Born in 2272 on the colony of Ajilon Prime, Wane grew up near the border of Federation and Klingon deep space. They went to the local naval academy on the planet, before setting their sight on Starfleet and its more advanced fleet of vessels. Due to Ajilon Prime’s proximity to Klingon space and frequent Klingon visitors, Perry spoke a variety of Klingon dialects, a skill that became often useful on away missions involving the Klingons. 

They studied navigation and command at Starfleet Academy, and shared a few classes with Demora Sulu. They were assigned to the Eridani in 2294, serving under captain Bowman as a lieutenant (junior grade), was promoted to lieutenant- senior grade and earned the post of main navigator in 2296 when Saavik became the ship’s captain. At 24 years old, they are among the younger crew members, and often show a prankster nature during ship downtime. Due to their close work posting and time at the Academy, Wane and Demora became very close friends.

Dr. Tuyết Duong 

Born and raised in Vietnam, Tuyết Duong was an apt doctor and neurologist. She studied xenobiology and attended the College of Medical Sciences at the Tri-Planetary Academy. Her skills caused her to be commissioned by Starfleet in a planet-wide medical crisis, and following that event, she kept working for them in various sectors. When planning out the medical crew of the Eridani, her name was on the listing of possible medical professionals, and Dr. McCoy vouched for her, having read her paper in neurology and heard of the events in which she provided medical aid. As such, at 34 years old, she was a doctor on the Eridani. 

She was very sociable, easily adapting to the many medical crews she worked with, and especially caring toward those around her. Despite all of this, being a commissioned doctor with no real field training by the Fleet left her feeling quite useless on away missions, because outside of providing medical aid, she could not defend her fellow crewmembers or herself effectively or contribute to strategic planning. 

Dr. David James Marcus, science officer and head of the science department

Son of the renowned scientist Carol Marcus and then Commander James T. Kirk, he was born in 2263 in Montréal, but later lived on various starbases and scientific outposts with his mother. Carol Marcus took the decision to raise her son on her own after her separation with Jim, before she even gave birth to David, as she found Kirk’s career to be incompatible with parenthood and feared that her son would follow in his footsteps and leave to explore the dangers of space.

David was homeschooled for his primary and secondary education, with tutoring in all the necessary fields by many of his mother’s colleagues. Considering this and the fact that they moved a lot for Carol’s research, David did not have many friends growing up. He went to college and completed a double major in xenobiology and astrophysics, before getting his doctorate in particle physics. He then joined his mother’s research team on Project Genesis. At this time of his life, he was very cautious of the military, believing Starfleet, while affiliated with the research of the Genesis Project, would attempt to steal and use the technology in nefarious ways.

His first meeting with his father James Kirk was a shock, but he quickly realised how alike they were, both determined, intelligent, caring yet stubborn men. Following the event on the Genesis planet, namely his death and revival, David suffered from many medical consequences due to the Genesis effect healing his body, yet causing nerve and muscle damage, which left him disabled. His symptoms are similar to epilepsy, migraines as well as mobility issues, which arise when standing up for extended periods, for example. He resorted, after his year long recovery on Vulcan, to use orthotics braces to facilitate his movements and prevent pain and mobility issues.

While still preoccupied by the possibility of corruption in any organisation, he decided after his recovery to pursue a career in Starfleet, to his mother’s dismay. Part of his reason for joining the fleet is a desire to do better with his wide scientific knowledge, mostly after how his impatience caused many deaths with project genesis. He still doesn’t always trust Starfleet, and also wants to use his presence in the fleet to prevent use of new technology in ill manners. As such, he is strict about protocols, as well as safety precautions in the science department he runs. Along with that, David’s upbringing among scientists and on various space stations did not allow him to make many friends, and his friendship and sibling bond with Saavik also motivated his career choice. His very sheltered life as a teen and young adult, on research labs and space stations, also awakened a desire to discover what’s out there, and to be on the front line of scientific discovery.

When he began the procedures to enter Starfleet Academy for for command, field science and space training, Saavik had to plead her case with the Admiralty, both because of his scientific fraud regarding the addition of proto-matter in the Genesis matrix, but mostly because most of the Admiralty believed his disability to be too great of a liability on a spaceship. That never deterred him, as he believed that he could achieve a space posting and was ready to put in the effort to achieve it.

In 2287, he became a part of the science team on the Enterprise-A, serving on his own father’s ship. This assignment allowed father and son to get closer, but David never got to build as strong a bond with Jim as the one he had with his mother. When Saavik was transferred from her post as helmsman of the Enterprise-A to the Eridani, he put in a request to join her. He was refused until 2291, when he joined Eridani’s science team as lieutenant.

He was outspoken, unafraid of telling what he believed, as well as quite stubborn. David was also very passionate about his many projects, and very enthusiastic about the new discoveries Eridani can make out in space.

By the time that Eridani departed for her five year mission in 2296, David was 33 years old, a lieutenant-commander and Saavik had named him her science officer and head of the science department. Despite Carol’s mistrust of Starfleet, she is very proud of her son’s achievements.
