Ekkridai was born to a pod in the South Pacific. He first encountered humans while still at his mother's side, and was fascinated by the way they used so many tools to aid them. This fascination, once he left his mother's pod, led him to the Cetacean Center at the big island of Hawaii. It was there that Ekkridai learned to communicate with humans, through the use of translation machines. | Ekkridai was born to a pod in the South Pacific.

By a happy coincidence, not long after Ekkridai arrived there was a call for a group of cetaceans to join a Federation research project, and Ekkridai jumped at the chance. Thus began his Starfleet career. Since then, he has done many projects, and has taught himself as much science as he could. | By a happy coincidence, not long after Ekkridai arrived there was a call for a group of cetaceans to join a Federation research project, and Ekkridai jumped at the chance. Thus began his Starfleet career. Since then, he has done many projects, and has taught himself as much science as he could. He and his pod (himself and 3 other anthrophilic fen) were conducting a long-term study onboard the Eagle when that ship crash-landed. Ekkridai was the only survivor of his pod. He has since been placed with a new pod, who he is still getting to know, and has been assigned to the [[Victory]]. | ||

# Dolphins like Ekkridai use sound imaging, not reflected light, as their primary sense. As a result, they have casual access to information that humans do not. When Ekkridai encounters a person, he can tell that person's relative densities (the practical upshot of which is that he knows your anatomy, your heartrate, any implants or tumours you have, whether you're pregnant, whether you're hiding a weapon, what you've got in your pockets, what you're holding behind your back, etc., and will have known this long before you turned the corner and saw him.) | # Dolphins like Ekkridai use sound imaging, not reflected light, as their primary sense.
