allow to me to ramble abt one of many many IT starred trek AU possibilities hh. if u don& #39;t know what i& #39;m talking abt just assume it& #39;s really smart and in character ok thanks. imagining this whole shebang is set in like the later seasons of TNG era
eddie & richie grew up together on a human colony that suffered some Great Disaster (tarsus iv-esque) & while they were very close as kids they drifted, and running into each other again on the same ship brings up a lot of tension and is quite fraught, tho they still get on well
they both went into starfleet with goals to understand what happened to them/fix things(...fix themselves?) their pasts are their obsessions but their newly rebuilt relationship allows them to move forward!!!
bev is bajoran, ex-bajoran resistance. not fleet but becomes entangled with a fleet situation through ben, a betazoid ambassador who works with refugee populations. (look i really really want a bajoran/betazoid pairing i feel like we as a society are sleeping on this concept)
mike is an old-fashioned earth-grown fleet type (think james t). great family, good childhood, recent super traumatizing starship experience he& #39;s still trying to work through. communications expert, used to research but just got promoted by his captain, audra phillips
bill is like, a space anthropologist or smth along those lines? mostly academic; not fleet; human but from some esoteric space colony somewhere. he and mike are familiar with each other& #39;s work (
