Tristam Core/Relationships: Difference between revisions
→Roshanara Rahman
| Line 93: | Line 93: | ||
Their relationship becomes somewhat strained when Tristam begins to avoid her due to the decrease in his verbal skills. Rahman removes him from duty due to this medical condition, frustrated and becoming increasingly worried about it. He apologizes (or tries his best to) and proceeds to explain the problem to her, and both promised to work through the problem together. The two later spent time together, though both awakened to find that Tristam's telepathy had (somewhat) returned during Roshanara's mad dash to prepare for the launch of the {{USS|Invicta}}. | Their relationship becomes somewhat strained when Tristam begins to avoid her due to the decrease in his verbal skills.

When [[Roshanara Rahman|someone]] makes a deal within the [[Engineer's Trading Post]] involving the Invicta's bridge briefing table, [[Angeline Loupaz]] is forced to create a false holographic table as they locate the original. Tristam attempts to swap the holoprojector with a model more sufficient for the job, but is forced to distract Roshanara - namely kissing her on the bridge of the ship, asking instead for 15 minutes away for a quick bite to eat, priding himself on the fact that he has never lied to Roshanara. | When [[Roshanara Rahman|someone]] makes a deal within the [[Engineer's Trading Post]] involving the Invicta's bridge briefing table, [[Angeline Loupaz]] is forced to create a false holographic table as they locate the original.

It would also be the first of few displays of their relationship whilst at least one of them is on duty. | ||
On the island beach of W Cygni 5C, Tristam and Roshanara share shore leave with the rest of the Invicta crew. As the Avandar crew arrives, Tristam is introduced to [[Nikki Ryan]], and Roshanara jokingly implies jealousy and threat regarding his interaction with Ryan. Later, they go out on a trip in the shuttle, discussing Roshanara's relationship with [[Tasnim Shandres]], whom was now her ward, when the shuttle is forced to land due to an error. They spend the remainder of the day together playing three-dimensional chess, despite having repaired the issue. | |||
Their relationship takes another turn when Tristam begins to struggle to differentiate Roshanara and "Captain Rahman", beginning with the supposed death of their Invicta captain [[Aron Kells]] - where the crew becomes struck with grief over the presumed death of their captain, Roshanara snaps at Tristam on the bridge. She later apologizes when he leaves the Invicta with an away team. | |||
Upon her promotion to Commander in 2393, Tristam kisses Roshanara in front of the crew. He later expresses to Kells that he is actually concerned Roshanara is holding him at an arms length, and fails to notice the awkwardness of the conversation. | |||
Much later, the two discuss the possibility of going to Rodul, having been many years since Tristam had seen home. Roshanara expresses a small amount of concern over exactly how much Tristam's family already know about their relationship, of which he explains isn't actually all that much. | |||
When Roshanara is reassigned as captain of the {{USS|Syracuse}}, she recommends Tristam as First Officer to [[Joseph Washington]]. He would later refurbish the Syracuse lounge into a self-sufficient holodeck, concerned that a ship of engineers could not test future developments. Catching him mid-refurbishment, she'd go on to assist him. | |||
Following a stressful mission on Adova, Tristam spends time running simulations for his [[Tristam Core/Logs|MST]] project in Roshanara's quarters. Here, he explains the importance of ones feet to her, in that they're the sole part of the body that keeps one grounded. | |||
They speak again about going to Rodul, to which Tristam admits he feels uneasy about. However, they're interrupted by [[Kinan Venroe]], resulting in the crews of the Invicta and the Syracuse in making the museum ship {{USS|Venture}} space-worthy so that it may front the [[Khitomer Centennial]] parade. When the Venture finally launches, they banter over the 22nd century uniforms they're required to wear. Later, Tristam finds himself once again in conflict as to 'which side' of Roshanara he was speaking to mid-mission. | |||
After a stressful mission in which the Venture crew was thrown back in time, in which Tristam suffered through what he considered to be a traumatic engagement of telepathy, Roshanara and Tristam travel to Rodul, where Roshanara meets Tristam's immediate family and his home. As she explores his bedroom, which had remained unchanged despite the long period of time, Tristam notes to her how juvenile he was. They spend two weeks on Rodul together before Roshanara is called back to duty. However, unable to come to terms with the violent encounters of his time in Starfleet so far, he decides to remain on Rodul, without further discussion with Roshanara. | |||
They go on to maintain contact despite the distance between them, but the relationship proves to be minimal at best, as Tristam fails to tell her about the ongoing problems he has with his family. In spite of the lack of contact, he sends Roshanara his Eye of the Artist for safe keeping. | |||
After weeks of silence, and prompting by Kinan Venroe to return to service, he calls Roshanara in hopes for a placement aboard the {{USS|Veritas}}, suggesting he could potentially work on circumventing the tetryon emissions of which play havoc with the ship's communications. However, after long periods of time without contact from him, Roshanara forces him to answer pressing questions regarding their relationship, and Tristam admits to not only being unable to differentiate her off duty and on duty personas, but feeling uncomfortable as to burden the ship's captain with unnecessary information. They agree to work on communication, and Tristam is accepted aboard the Veritas. | |||
Two Rodulan engineers board the Veritas to oversee the use of Rodulan technology in the upgrades to ships communications, and Tristam starts to feel uncomfortable working with them looking over his shoulder due to his age and "inexperience". Because of this, he begins to triple check his own work, and at one point, forwards adjustments already confirmed by the ship's [[Luna Walker|chief engineer]] to Roshanara to confirm. Given that he is already a qualified engineer, she replies in a memo questioning why he forwarded it to her in the first place. | |||
In mid-2394, Tristam is reassigned to [[Outpost 3]], and the two are once again faced with a long-distance relationship. With their last separation fresh in their minds, Roshanara expresses concern that he may feel trapped in an obligation to her despite being separated by lightyears of space. He assures her that he doesn't feel that to be the case, and they both promise to be better. | |||
They finally come face to face again after months of separation when Roshanara visits [[Outpost 3]] to see the work he'd completed thus far, but the happy reunion comes to a stall when Roshanara suggests ending the project to spend resources elsewhere. They are unable to finish the argument, instead finding a stash of [[ma:Felicium|felicium]] hidden within the outpost's bulkheads, much to Tristam's surprise. | |||
