| :—Tristam to Roshanara.

| |
|
| Tristam met Roshanara in 2387 aboard the {{USS|Pioneer}}, where she was assigned as a Research and Development engineer. At some point, it is believed that Tristam was recruited into her project involving the slipstream drive. Despite her best efforts, she has been so far unable to persuade Tristam into taking up an interest (or even a more positive outlook) towards the propulsion field of Engineering.
| | Blake: ~~ Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. ~~ |

| | ::There was a twinge of a smile on his lips, and he slightly in his cross-legged perch on the bed, breathing deeply. He was in the back of her mind, testing the limits of the emotional bond they shared. She wasn't sure how - the Vulcan aspect of their relationship had always confused her, often leaving her with too many questions and many of which he simply couldn't answer. |
|
| |
|
| Not much is really known about their relationship prior to the events of 238708.01 (the explosion in the ''Pioneer's'' Main Engineering). Tristam worked closely with her on the slipstream project and the two become good friends. It is also possible, but not confirmed, that Roshanara locked Tristam in his quarters as a joke. Around five years after the accident, the two were reunited aboard the {{USS|Garuda}} after Roshanara requested he be posted there - something of which Tristam was not entirely thrilled about having just been transferred to the [[USS Vigilant-A|USS ''Vigilant''-A]] prior to the request going through, and was forced to travel again after only three weeks. He was somewhat bitter towards her because of this, though this attitude fell away in a matter of days as he returned to working for her.
| | ::So she simply watched as that chest expanded and deflated, the contour of his arms and shoulders exquisitely illuminated in the dim lighting. He'd kept the beard - well trimmed, never long enough to "cause mild irritation" - which only softened his facial features. |
|
| |
|
| He became more concerned when Roshanara was involved with the sabotage of the ''Garuda'', going so far as to break into her personal and medical records looking for clues as to if she actually assisted willingly. This caused [[Bakari, Msafiri|Msafiri Bakari]] to question Tristam's feelings for Roshanara, suggesting that Tristam "likes" her, prompting the Rodulan to deny it almost immediately. Instead, he used the fact that the last thoughts he'd ever heard from someone else were Roshanara's to explain his attachment to her.
| | ::If she had of known he was going to put on a show, she would have brought some strawberries.:: |
|
| |
|
| Tristam broke into her quarters (after speaking with Roshanara's doctor) under the belief that she may have been too upset to open the door. After she deliberately scared him, the two got into an argument, spilling out into the corridor as she attempted to escape from him. Finally, she explained to him that she assisted Ross because she was an empathic metamorph, suggesting she had no choice whatsoever but to "willingly" assist him. Despite this, Tristam told her to not once believe she assisted Ross willingly.
| | Sabor: You are very distracting. |
|
| |
|
| The Rodulan met a holographic version of Roshanara whilst aboard the {{USS|Mercury}}, of whom then proceeded without warning to hold Alora DeVeau hostage. Despite attempts to talk the hologram down, it was ultimately Lieutenant Evan Delano and a holographic version of Mei'konda to temporarily deactivate the hologram and free Alora. Tristam became rattled and almost non-responsive, to the point where the real Rahman had to slap him just to get his attention and any form of coherent words out of him. He had been required to go to a lower level of Engineering and restart containment sequences, but as he was about to initiate the restart, the holographic version of Rahman attacked him. In the end, after an attempt to distract her and conversing with her, Tristam shot the holographic Rahman with a type 2 phaser that had fallen from the deck above. He was able to initiate the restart, and because of that, was part of a small group of people that saved the ''Mercury'' from exploding. The real Roshanara found Tristam as a mental mess, and ordered (with the very little authority she had at that time) the Garuda to beam him directly to Sick Bay.
| | Blake: ~~ *I'm* the distracting one? ~~ |
|
| |
|
| After regaining consciousness, Tristam was unusually high on a medical drug. He was allowed to leave Sick Bay, so long as he had a carer for the short two days he was taking the medication. Roshanara became the unwilling "nurse" when he called her to Sick Bay for a "visit". After pleading with her, she agreed to looking after him. He caused little trouble - the majority of it being his unusual willingness to assist her in packing (as she was staying with him in his quarters due to her own being too small house two people). The two speak about his telepathy (or lack of) the next morning whilst he is still in his medicated state, though he doesn't remember this conversation.
| | Sabor: It is simple meditation. |
|
| |
|
| Their friendship took a turn when [[Naughton, Sean|Lieutenant Sean Naughton]] proceeded to exploit Roshanara's metamorphic state in an effort to prove her innocence of the Garuda's sabotage. When Tristam reveals that he asked Naughton to do so, she becomes angry, and Tristam confesses that he has always wanted more than just her friendship. After kissing her (proving his point), she leaves the Garuda.
| | Blake: ~~ With the perfect mood lighting. ~~ |
|
| |
|
| During the time Roshanara was not aboard the Garuda, Tristam was reunited with his ex, [[Sanchez, Juanita|Juanita Sanchez]], when the Maquis attacked (and sabotaged) DSX. Whilst working to create an EMP, Juanita managed to coax Tristam into talking about Roshanara (though he didn't mention her by name). Juanita encouraged him to go after her, or else he'd regret it. After the situation on DSX had been contained (and after theirs setting off an EMP), Tristam ended up in [[Bakari, Msafiri|Bakari's]] quarters, who then gave Tristam an itinerary for Roshanara's travel, further encouraging him to go after her. Waiting for a chance to leave the Garuda, Tristam found himself unable to repair his own toolkit - they had been severely damaged from the release of the EMP, and the tools Tristam had then been using to repair them were faulty for unknown reasons. After returning that toolkit to the Engineering locker, Tristam found Roshanara's personal kit, with a note to him. Using her kit, he was subsequently able to repair the rest of his tools (except, for some unknown reason, his PADD).
| | ::An eyebrow rose, those soft brown eyes opened.:: |
|
| |
|
| Tristam ended up listening in on a university lector Roshanara was presenting (much to his own distaste). During question time, he asked her why propulsionists believed slipstream to be a higher priority than life support systems publicly, peaking audience interest and Roshanara's annoyance. The two began to banter about the topic, until Roshanara wasn't able to provide a further argument. When the room had cleared of others, she began to voice her anger at his embarrassing her in front of an entire lecture hall, when he interrupted and returned her toolkit. They reconciled after he convinced her to return to the Garuda as a Project Manager for the Starfleet Corps of Engineers, and the two begun a romantic relationship.
| | Sabor: Still distracting? |
|
| |
|
| Despite Tristam's original wishes, the two were unable to have a "first date" when he developes a Rodulan stomach flu. Coupled with a case of homesickness (which he claims to be a real illness in Rodulan culture), he refuses to join Roshanara in her quarters for dinner in fear of getting her sick. However, instead of cancelling their date, he tells Roshanara to set up a vid-com link on her PADD, and to send him what she'd prepared for dinner via the replicator files, and they have their date.
| | Blake: ~~ You'll always be distracting. ~~ |
|
| |
|
| After a mission to Peppalexa (and a subsequent "two-week holiday" to the past), Tristam and Roshanara set up another date, though he falls asleep on the holodeck and keeps Roshanara waiting. He apologizes to her multiple times, though she brushes it off and they go to the Mess Hall for dinner. It is shown that their relationship has progressed somewhat, and Roshanara is practicing keeping metamorphic state under as much control as possible when in a room filled with people, Tristam acting as something she can fall back on should she require it. She confesses that she is still unsure of herself, afraid that she will lose herself to her ability, and Tristam does his best to console her. Towards the end of the date, it is seen that she is making progress in controlling her ability.
| | ::He gave an amused huff, pushing forward to the bed as he crawled up beside her, one hand resting on her hip, the other he was using to rest his head upon. She couldn't help but smile, shifting so that she was firmly wrapped within his arms, her nose trailing against his neck - a Brekkian instinct, an action for intimacy and nurturing.:: |
|
| |
|
| 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}}.
| | Blake: I love you. |

| ====[[DeVeau, Alora|Alora DeVeau]]====
| | ::There was a moment of silence, Sabor holding her tightly against himself, placing a kiss to the top of her head.:: |

| |
| :<span {{t|1=title="Source: {{{3}}}"|1{{{3|}}}=}}>'''''DeVeau:''' Well, I don't know about '''all''' Rodulans, but I do have to agree, he is kind of cute - though not just when he's angry.<br>'''Core:''' '''Excuse me''', I am downright adorable!'' </span> | |
| :—During a conversation with Alora and [[Voss, R'raika|Voss]].
| |
| :</div><noinclude> | |
|
| |
|
| Having met during a mission to Bocasa, Tristam didn't have enough time to get to know Alora before he and Roshanara Rahman thrust her into a certain form of danger. After standing on a landmine, Alora DeVeau was given the unfortunate job of following Tristam's instructions to disarm the bomb. Despite her steady hands and following the Rodulan's instruction to the letter, the mine ignited anyway, setting off a chain reaction to not obliterate the person on top of it, but to cause an explosion far below the ground, and underneath the mud dome they had been assessing moments prior.
| | Sabor: I love you, too. And we *will* get through this. |
| | </nowiki> |
|
| |
|
| Once returning to the ship, Tristam joined Alora and [[Voss, R'raika|R'raika Voss]] for lunch. There, he learned more about the two women - why they joined Starfleet and Voss's surprisingly new taste for flake and tartare sauce.

|
| |
|
| Tristam and Alora were put into a team again with each other during a mission involved the {{USS|Mercury}}. Towards the end, Alora was once again placed into a dangerous situation when a holographic version of Rahman took her hostage, holding her against her will with a phaser pressed into Alora's skin. Attempts to talk holographic Rahman down failed, and it was only due to the efforts by [[Delano, Evan|Lieutenant Delano]] and a holographic [[Mei'konda]] that freed Alora and deactivated (albeit, temporarily) Rahman. Tristam was severely rattled and became almost non-responsive shortly after the situation.
| | Shrmoa: I can't ascertain what causing the headache you described - it doesn't seem to be trauma from your . . impromptu battle. I believe you should have a few tests done in the event it's something to do with your dead lobe, but until you have more free time, I will have to wait. I can give you something for it- |
|
| |
|
| Several days after returning to the ship, a drugged-up Tristam called Alora out of loneliness, boredom, and a "floral smell".
| | Blake: Don't bother. I have a feeling it's psychogenic. |
| | |
| | ::The Tarkalean hummed at her assessment.:: |
| | |
| | Shrmoa: Keep thinking positive thoughts as recommended, Commander. And stay away from Orions. |
