Still tasked with improving communications in the area, Starfleet sends Tristam to [[Kidman I]] to complete construction of a relay station on the colony world—he also helps develop new water reclamators for the small settlement [[Bupirninyirring]] in his spare time. Just after installation of a critical component, the settlement is attacked by a pirate crew, whom infiltrated the relay station. Though unharmed, Tristam was locked in a storage closet, and the critical component he’d finished installing was stolen. Disturbed by the notion that the component may allow the pirates an advantage by improving their communications capability within the Shoals, [[Sky Blake]] brings Tristam along to retrieve it—though they are successful, they end up trapped in a malfunctioning escape pod. Using the component as a distress signal, the two are eventually rescued by a civilian crew passing by. | Still tasked with improving communications in the area, Starfleet sends Tristam to [[Kidman I]] to complete construction of a relay station on the colony world—he also helps develop new water reclamators for the small settlement [[Bupirninyirring]] in his spare time.

When a temporal anomaly produces the younger selves of Roshanara and [[Mei'konda]], [[Sky Blake]] informs Tristam of the incident. She tells him not to speak to Roshanara, fearing his over-reaction and inability to handle an encounter with her (given the strong possibility they cannot revert them back to their former selves), but he ignores her advice and meets with Roshanara late at night, vaguely catching her up on events that occurred. Though he does not inform her of their relationship, he refers to his present Roshanara as his partner, vaguely describing her in his eyes when prompted. He details his fear to Roshanara that he might not get her back (the current-day version of her), the young Roshanara tells him to have faith in her, not realizing they are both referring to herself. | |||
Later, when the ''Veritas'' is stuck 600 years in the past, Blake asks Tristam to “babysit” a Borg infection taking place in the ship’s sensor dome, but he is distracted by an Omega symbol locking the ship's systems down. Roshanara contacts him with [[Timothy Alentonis]], tasked with building a harmonic resonance chamber for Omega molecules. They construct what eventually turns out to be a molecule vacuum cleaner, though to use it for its designated purpose, they have to push past several Borg drones aboard the ship, resulting in Tristam’s creating a carrier wave power-down for the drones in proximity, caused by a false command from a perceived collective. Eventually, back in 2394, LtCmdr Rahman returns to her time of origin, and the true Roshanara Rahman returns to the ship once more. | |||
In September 2394, work on the [[MST project]] hits an unexpected stand-still because of the limits of current-day technology. His disappointment is quickly set aside upon the disappearance of a ''Veritas'' away team that includes [[Tasnim Shandres]], Roshanara’s ward. But he senses [[Anjar Thoran]]’s struggle to keep a level head as the ship’s acting Chief Engineer—and when he gives the engineering staff conflicting orders, Tristam pulls him aside to briefly counsel him, chastising his attitude toward the staff. | |||

Tristam is present during the group meeting regarding the missing teams, concluding that a quantum surge redirected the transporter losing all team members. Though affected by Tasnim’s disappearance, Tristam works with the teams to locate her—and despite being limited by professionalism, he does his best to console Roshanara during the meeting. He works with [[Geoffrey Teller]] to convert solar power into useable energy for the EPS relays, using his premature designs for the MST project as a guide. As they rip up a transporter pad, he schools the new engineer on the “shortcomings of warp drive”. The experiment is a success, and they recover all crew members from their mysterious location—though Tristam’s first instinct is to baby Tasnim to the best of his ability. | Tristam is present during the group meeting regarding the missing teams, concluding that a quantum surge redirected the transporter losing all team members.

[[Lael Rosek]] calls Tristam in for a meeting about ‘goal setting’ and his performance for the following year which confuses him (as he is aboard in a specialist role, as dictated by Captain Rahman). Mistakenly believing the conversation was regarding his report about [[Anjar Thoran]]’s behaviour during Rosek’s disappearance, he asks if Rosek is attempting to bribe him to change his report, having somehow thought the two were in a relationship. Rosek corrects this assumption. | [[Lael Rosek]] calls Tristam in for a meeting about ‘goal setting’ and his performance for the following year which confuses him (as he is aboard in a specialist role, as dictated by Captain Rahman).

In late | In late 2394, the ''Veritas'' suddenly loses all its deuterium reserves and must be evacuated, prompting the crew to crash onto [[Limbo]]. He looks after young [[Ayden Blake]] until reuniting him with his mother. As Blake breaks down, Tristam consoles her but asks about Roshanara’s status and whether she made it off the ship. Blake confirms that she did, much to Tristam’s relief. He then urges Blake to take command of those assembled (as she is the ship’s second officer) until such time they reunite with the rest of the crew. Tristam dismantles the escape pods in case more equipment is needed and prioritises the creation of water reclamation units. A week later, Tristam’s search for other communications on Limbo proves successful, and Blake goes out in search of other members of the crew. | ||
