===Valoru=== | |||
In ''Jump start'', Ayden refers to a "Valoru" as another [[Andorian]] he's been sent to look for for on Eporue station when attempting to distract an enforcer - this is of course a reference to [[Valoru]], a Veritas crewmember, though may not be indicative of Valoru's actual status during the Ekal timeline. | In ''Jump start'', Ayden refers to a "Valoru" as another [[Andorian]] he's been sent to look for for on Eporue station when attempting to distract an enforcer - this is of course a reference to [[Valoru]], a Veritas crewmember, though may not be indicative of Valoru's actual status during the Ekal timeline. | ||

However, since Delano's not encountered Ekal in the Montreal timeline, it's possible Ayden is at least knowledgeable of him from his native time - so chances are, Delano could still be active in 2491, possibly confirmed when taking a look at ''The encounter'', where Ayden references Delano (but strangely, not [[Mei'konda]]). It's briefly mentioned in ''The Ekal timeline'' that Delano does survive the destruction of the Veritas. | However, since Delano's not encountered Ekal in the Montreal timeline, it's possible Ayden is at least knowledgeable of him from his native time - so chances are, Delano could still be active in 2491, possibly confirmed when taking a look at ''The encounter'', where Ayden references Delano (but strangely, not [[Mei'konda]]).

{{quote|He was the only son of Skyleena Blake - the blonde haired, emerald eyed woman currently standing in this very room with her arms crossed, watching over the scene like a parent who had just escorted someone elses offspring away from the scene of a shuttle accident, a sense of sympathy and pity practically burned across her eyes.

In ''Traveler's condition'', [[Sky Blake]] comes up a few times in narration as she and [[G'var]] escort him to the Veritas sickbay. He remembers her as being a very stressed-out and uptight kind of person for nearly the entirety of his life - possibly due to the quadrant's state of affairs with the [[Tholian]]s. He states in ''Objective'' that after the Veritas was destroyed, she became the Montreal's First Officer for up to two years before quitting, fleeing to Betazed and never leaving the [[Betazoid]] homeworld again - she would also never find relative safety, even in the comfort of what would become her home. | In ''Traveler's condition'', [[Sky Blake]] comes up a few times in narration as she and [[G'var]] escort him to the Veritas sickbay.

Ayden mentions within his narration that, having survived the destruction of the Veritas in 2395, Blake passes away following a stroke, occurring before he begins his career in the [[Temporal Integrity Commission]]. In ''A better time of it'', it's revealed that she is left in a catatonic state when she receives news of her daughter's death in 2451, and never recovers, dying at the age of 88. | Ayden mentions within his narration that, having survived the destruction of the Veritas in 2395, Blake passes away following a stroke, occurring before he begins his career in the [[Temporal Integrity Commission]].

===G'var=== | |||
Ayden remembers [[G'var]] having made "an impression" on him as a child during ''Traveler's condition'', going so far as to mention her being the second most intimidating woman he's met during his lifetime. | Ayden remembers [[G'var]] having made "an impression" on him as a child during ''Traveler's condition'', going so far as to mention her being the second most intimidating woman he's met during his lifetime. | ||

===Alora DeVeau=== | |||
When entering Sickbay, Ayden is surprised to see [[Alora DeVeau]] as the medical officer waiting for him - something he considers to be significant and out of place given what he knew of the Veritas. | When entering Sickbay, Ayden is surprised to see [[Alora DeVeau]] as the medical officer waiting for him - something he considers to be significant and out of place given what he knew of the Veritas. | ||

===Roshanara Rahman=== | |||
[[Roshanara Rahman]]'s involvement in the state of the galaxy in Ayden's native time is expanded upon during ''The Ekal timeline''. It's stated that the Veritas encounters a Tholian vessel along the border of the Shoals, and that for reasons Ayden is still not clear on despite years of research, Rahman engages them in combat, firing a quantum torpedo. It results in her evacuating her crew when the ship is near its breaking point, only to for her to stay behind with the ship to buy the escape pods time to vacate the area. Rahman is ultimately lost with the Veritas, along with a small team of people. | [[Roshanara Rahman]]'s involvement in the state of the galaxy in Ayden's native time is expanded upon during ''The Ekal timeline''.

===USS Montreal | ===Tasnim Shandres=== | ||
{{quote|'''Blake:''' I thought you were a temporal mechanic. How do you know so much about Starfleet systems?<br>::He gave a minor rise of his shoulders, eyes glazing over a memory.::<br>'''Ekal:''' [[Tasnim Shandres|Just a girl I grew up with]].|<small>LtCmdr Sky Blake, "[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/YHNF7Q7gJSk/6BHcGuAPDwAJ ''Picking a side.'']"</small>}} | |||
[[Tasnim Shandres]] is very briefly mentioned by Ayden to [[Sky Blake]], [[Zhou Tai-Sheng]], and [[Wil Ukinix]] when giving a quick explanation about his knowledge of Starfleet systems. This suggests that Tasnim survives the loss of the ''Veritas'' in the Ekal timeline, and at some point teaches Ayden about the ins and outs of certain areas of engineering. | |||
==USS Montreal== | |||
In ''The Ekal timeline'', the existence of the Montreal timeline, differing from Ayden's own, is confirmed when Ayden learns that an adjustment he made months prior to push the Veritas to [[Havley's Hope]] ahead of schedule indeed stuck, resulting in the Veritas meeting the Montreal when in fact, they were never actually meant to cross paths at all in 2395. | In ''The Ekal timeline'', the existence of the Montreal timeline, differing from Ayden's own, is confirmed when Ayden learns that an adjustment he made months prior to push the Veritas to [[Havley's Hope]] ahead of schedule indeed stuck, resulting in the Veritas meeting the Montreal when in fact, they were never actually meant to cross paths at all in 2395. | ||
===Tel-ar=== | |||
{{quote|'''Ekal:''' Look, I need your help to locate a "Tel-ar". I have to invite this person to a nobility thing - they can't come, of course, but you know what the Betazed nobility is like.

===Chythar Skyfire=== | |||
{{quote|Skyfire wasn't there. That made no sense - that was *false*! He *knew* it to be false! Skyfire was responsible for parts of the evacuation!

Some events do not change, however. In ''Objective'', Ayden mentions that he didn't believe pushing the Veritas to Havley's Hope early would change much at all, as the Montreal's commanding officer [[Zhou Tai-Sheng]] is injured in the line of duty regardless of any temporal adjustments, believing Zhou would have convinced Rahman to continue on without him. When Ayden realizes this didn't occur, he reasons that it may be because he underestimated just how attached Zhou is to the Veritas (and potentially to [[Sky Blake]]). | Some events do not change, however.

As an adult, Ayden seems to have a personal relationship to Zhou, having conversed with him in the Ekal timeline about Zhou's career in Starfleet - but these conversations were generally cut short when Zhou would suggest doing something else (often being alcohol, or on rarer occasions, strip clubs - to which it's hinted that Ayden may have had to detail his orientation to Zhou following one of these instances, resulting in an amusing story of Zhou attempting to accommodate him, much to their mutual confusion). | As an adult, Ayden seems to have a personal relationship to Zhou, having conversed with him in the Ekal timeline about Zhou's career in Starfleet - but these conversations were generally cut short when Zhou would suggest doing something else (often being alcohol, or on rarer occasions, strip clubs - to which it's hinted that Ayden may have had to detail his orientation to Zhou following one of these instances, resulting in an amusing story of Zhou attempting to accommodate him, much to their mutual confusion). It's vaguely suggested in ''Picking a side'' that Ayden even referred to him as "Uncle Tai". | ||
In 2451, the Blakes are hit with news of [[Faith Blake]]'s death, resulting in Sky going into a catatonic state. Zhou visits her during this period, though she fails to recognize him and does not speak in his presence. | |||
As stated in ''A better time of it'' Ayden is left under the impression that Starfleet officers involved with the incident surrounding the Veritas were under "hush orders", as he approaches Zhou after he joins the Temporal Integrity Commission in an attempt to learn what actually happened to the Veritas - as Zhou was in command of the Montreal at the time of the ship's destruction. However, Zhou realizes the motive behind Ayden's curiosity, and instead of giving him this information, tells him to "let sleeping dogs lie". | |||
At 122 years of age, Zhou passes away - an event which changes Ayden's mindset and reaffirms his path to change history and better their present. | |||
===Brayden Jorey=== | ===Brayden Jorey=== | ||
The Jorey family are mentioned in ''A better time of it'' to have been the last survivors of the [[Tenth House of Betazed]], but are lost to Tholian encounters by the year 2451. It's not clear whether [[Brayden Jorey]] remained in Starfleet, or if his assigned vessel was also lost during the war. | |||
