POOB HAS IT FOR YOU

The Operation department of the U.S.S. Eridani

Art by @parallelfallout

Heyyyy so I officially published the first chapter of my Trek fic!!! Here’s the description:

In which an away mission goes wrong, and a new helmsman is needed for the U.S.S. Enterprise: one Gary Mitchell, former…friend of one James Tiberius Kirk.

Kirk is desperately trying to keep his past hidden and maintain his image in front of his crew, but recent events are bringing everything he’s been pushing down closer and closer to the surface.

Meanwhile, Spock is suspicious of this new crew member and…perturbed as he realizes he may not know Kirk as well as he thought he did after everything they’d been through over the years.

The universe has never been kind to James T. Kirk. (But could it be, in the end?)

Check it out if you want I will include artwork for the second chapter and beyond ^-^

THE AO3 site for STAR TREK: ERIDANI is open for you guys to sign up to make your own stories/art/whatever based on the episode plots, or just to read the lore/posts on the collection the creator @purple-iris made (plus some artwork from me!) !!!

This AO3 work aims at centralizing all information regarding the character biographies and episode synopses for the Star Trek: Eridani fan project, a for-fans-by-fans series. This series will be hosted as an opened prompt meme challenge, with the prompts being the various episode summaries written by purple_iris_bloom ( @purple-iris ) and ghostofgoldendays ( @parallelfallout) , the co-creators and hosts.

Ensign Terrance Riley, tactical department 

Son of Kevin and Niamh Riley, Terrance Riley was born in 2274 in San Francisco, but spent most of his summers in Donegal when he was growing up. As a teen and even a young adult, he was a bit embarrassed by his father’s big personality, but grew to be more accepting of his heritage and family. 

During his time at the Academy, he often was Sopek’s “human studies club” fact checker, not by will but rather due to the Vulcan’s insistence. A meek and mild mannered boy, he tended to be pushed around easily. Despite a certain annoyance with Sopek’s attitude, the Vulcan also defended him from bigger bullies in the optic of “conserving the club’s fact checker”, which created a certain respect between the two. His demeanor came in great part from growing up learning not to complain about things and not asking for help, as he has many siblings. His interactions with Sopek inadvertently taught him to stand up for himself. 

As a tactical officer, he was a very quick thinker, and easily came up with strategies on the spot. Captain Saavik often liked to hear his ideas in times of crisis. 

He became an ensign in the tactical department at 22 years old on the Eridani for the ship’s five year mission in 2296.
