Sneak peak for Star Trek : Athena, Ep 1 - Just Another Day

Miram glanced back at the woman as the corners of her painted lips turned upward. She reminded her of a barn cat that liked to play with mice before biting their heads off. It was an unnerving thought.

Many of her former peers had told her that she had a horrible judge of character. She just hoped for the sake of her sanity and career, she was wrong about her assumptions this time.

“Oh, boy. Here we go.” The man next to her looked unperturbed and went back to reading something on his PADD.

“Rank and name, kid,” she said. “Quickly.”

“Ensign Tobin ch’Zynes. Operations.” He rattled out. “I’d say ‘Pleasure to meet you’ but you don’t look very happy to do so.”

The woman chuckled. “Oh, a wise ass. Haven’t seen that before. Gotta admit, that’s pretty ballsy.”

Tobin shrugged, “I aim to please, Ma’am.”

Miram stepped in, sensing the storm gathering behind her eyes. “I’m Ensign Miram Tauri, ma’am. Engineering.”

“Oh, yes. You’re both new. I am Lieutenant Elaine D’Aureville. Navigator.” She gently nudged the man next to her who shot her an irritated look. “This delightful man here is our wonderful doctor, Michael E. Jenner. He’ll be the one to fix you up if you get into trouble. You can call him Mike—“

“Don’t call me Mike,” he said, putting his PADD away, giving up on reading. “It’s either Doctor Jenner or Micheal.”

Elaine snorted, nudging his side with her elbow. “And you tell me I’m uptight.”

He picks up her smoothie, swirling the blue and purple concoction. “You are.”

Miram cleared her throat, her own strawberry smoothie forgotten. “So…what’s it like being on the Athena?”

“Finally, something interesting to discuss.” Tobin leaned forward. “It can’t be as bad as the rumors I’ve heard.”

“Well, kid.” Elaine said. “It’s definitely something.”

Miram frowned at Elaine calling her kid.

“Define ‘something’,” Tobin said.

Elaine just grinned. “Trust me, you’ll find out. It's not like you have anywhere else to go.”

Miram and Tobin exchanged a look.

“She’s exaggerating,” Michael said, taking a sip of his smoothie. “Mostly.”

First episode will be releasing on April 10th. Links will be shared soon!

AOS Kirk, drunk: Hey Uhura... Spock takes good care of you, yeah? He treats you right?

Uhura, who isn't dating Spock anymore but does Not want to flirt with Jim Kirk: Yes. He does.

Kirk, wistfully: I'll bet he does. He seems like the type to really know how to treat a person. He's caring, y'know? You're lucky. Lucky. *he trails off into drunken mumbling*

Uhura, who is rapidly coming to a realization: ???

I’m still freaking out about Spock Prime’s TOS crew photo from Beyond

Yes, I know this is 8 years old at this point but my Autistic Brain decided to freak out about this again today for no reason at all so hear me out bc it drives me absolutely NUTS every time I think about it.

So basically, the circumstances required for Reboot Spock to find this photo in Spock Prime’s possessions after he died are absolutely wild. Let’s walk through it shall we:

First thing to remember is that this photo does not exist in the Kelvin timeline. At all. The characters all look different and even if they’re supposed to canonically grow up to look exactly the same as the TOS characters, Spock Prime went back in time from his own universe so the photo cannot exist in the Kelvin timeline, at least yet.

Second thing is that Spock Prime must have carried this photo on his person when he went back in time in the jellyfish ship.

This is because Nero captured Spock (and his ship) and stranded him on Delta Vega, presumably with nothing but the clothes on his back and whatever else he might happen to have been carrying in his pockets.

Also, he couldn’t have stored the photo on his ship to retrieve later because Reboot Spock blew it up to ignite the red matter and destroy Nero’s ship. So whatever Spock Prime brought with him from the Prime Universe must have been on his person when he was stranded on Delta Vega.

Now, when Spock first sees Reboot Kirk in the cave, he says the classic “I have been and always shall be your friend” along with “It is remarkably pleasing to see you again, old friend.”

If we take a peek at the timeline for a sec, Kirk Prime disappeared into the Nexus in Star Trek: Generations in the year 2293, when everyone presumably thought he died. Now, Kirk did reappear into ‘normal space/time’ in the year 2371 when the rest of Generations takes place, but only Picard really saw Kirk before he died for real—so basically, the last time Spock could have seen Kirk Prime was in 2293. In the Prime Universe, the Romulan star went supernova in 2387, which is when Spock Prime goes back and creates the Kelvin Timeline.

SO: all this means that it has been at least 94 years (2293-2387) since Spock Prime has seen a Kirk in any universe. THEREFORE: this means that Spock Prime was carrying THAT TOS CREW PHOTO on his person 94 years after the last time he had seen Kirk. Whether he had been carrying it on his person for the entirety of those 94 years, or just during his mission to try and save Romulus, or something in between is anyone’s guess. But basically, even almost a century later, Spock thought those people and that photo were important enough to take with him on his body when he was sent to save Romulus. (A mission that required extreme speed and efficiency, if I might add).

ANYWAY: the photo in Beyond is shown as a rather small, yet touching, moment of nostalgia for fans of the original Star Trek show, but when you really start to think about what was required for that photo to exist in Reboot Spock’s possession at that moment, it just starts to drive me a little bit absolutely bonkers.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. Have a nice day.

Neither of you can leave before the entire shelf/table/whatever is finished. (It can't be the easiest/tiniest furniture though. It has to be kind of complicated and/or take at least an hour.)

There's also versions for: ds9, lower decks, voyager, tng

If you could serve with any star trek crew what one would you choose?

Feel free to explain why below

[the-starship-athena]

Hey, guys! Welcome to the Q&A for Star Trek: Athena.

This will be the first of many Q&A’s for STA. I’ve gotten a few questions that I hope will clear up things. Let’s get started!

Q1: What is STA?

It’s pretty much what it says on the box.

In keeping with Star Trek tradition, I’ve named this project Star Trek: Athena. It’ll be following the adventures of the crew of the USS Athena over the course of their three year mission.

Q2: When does STA take place?

So…here’s the thing.

We know that Star Trek has two timeline, TOS (Prime timeline) and AOS (Kelvin timeline.) The relationship between fans and the timelines…well it’s complicated. You either love it or you hate it or you begrudging like both of them. I’ve been fan since I was kid thanks to me discovering Star Trek while bored during the summer and looking for something to watch.

The problem is the story that I wanted to tell didn’t fit into the prime timeline because there is already so much packed in there so I ultimately gave up on it but then when I watched the 2009 Star Trek movie I realise that maybe I could make my story but still keep it Star Trek. 

Thus, the idea for STA was born.

To answer everyone’s question, yes, it takes place in the Kelvin timeline. The story takes place in 2264 immediately after Star Trek Beyond.

Q3: Who is the crew?

Okay, so the crew is different. I kind of wanted a mix of both bridge crew and lower decks crew because I thought maybe it would be more interesting story wise. Star Trek Lower Decks did kind of influence a little bit of it but then so did The Next Generation.

I plan to release a crew profile soon so like you can get a preview of who is who and what their ranks are and what they do on the ship.

I had to do a lot of research both into the prime timeline and the Kelvin timeline about ldifferent ranks and ship classes and positions on the ship. So like I had a consult both memory alpha and beta, which was fun.  

Keep your eyes out in the future because I will post a full post about our new characters - 8 of them in total - and then the minor characters.



Q4: What do you mean by ‘episodes’ being released?

Okay, I think we’re all familiar here with the format of Star Trek so I aimed to do something similar but in a writing form. It’s not a script or a fan made movie or anything like that. Think more on the lines of the novelisation of certain episodes of TOS, kinda like that but in a shorter format.

It’s going to be a three-year mission, so I am dividing this up into three seasons. I have everything already planned out and drafts are written. Each season will most likely have 10 to 12 episodes and I’m thinking of adding like a little short mini episodes probably like in between seasons just know small little stories or maybe like deleted scenes that I didn’t think made the final cut.

The first episode of STA will be posted on April 10. Hopefully there will be no delays but I look forward to everyone reading this because I’m really excited.

Q5: Why did you start this project?

For fun.

I’ve always been a very big fan of Star Trek, ever since I was kid.

It’s the kind thing that shaped me as a person. So it’s natural that I want write something as a tribute towards it

So came up with the idea of here’s my little star starship crew and they go off into space and there’s all these cool adventures but then they also learn these important lessons… i wanted it to be in spirit of the original Star Trek while adapting some of the newer aspects of modern day trek.

But then I was like okay this might be a stretch and I realised, is this just like me day dreaming or is this something I actually wanna do and then I formed the idea of STA.

Then you know they came with the whole hammering out all the details and deciding what I wanted to do and then finally I realised let’s put this in the kelvin timeline because you know there’s a lot of unknown about this timeline so it makes sense to have this crew in this timeline.

I hope I haven’t lost anyone on this but you have question, dont be afraid to DM me.
