@quantumstarpaths​   ⇾   asked for TILLY, SYLVIA.

“i see you’re making a face,  i see that...”   she stops mid-ramble at the face,  in fact,  but what she doesn’t know is what it means,   “i-is that a ‘stop talking’ face or is it a ‘you’re really pushing it tilly but keep talking my ear off ‘cuz i’m feeling super kindhearted and carefree’ face?”

[galaxyraised]

@divcrse​   ⇾   asked for TILLY, SYLVIA.

“you seem...  upset?”   she thinks it’s upset,  anyway,  but she’s never been all that great at reading strangers.  just another skill to work on developing,  right?   “d-d’you need a hug?  sometimes hugs help me when i’m having a hard day,  assuming i can stand being touched,  sometimes i can’t so i turn to tea or ice cream or some sort of treat to make myself feel better until i’m doing well enough to pull through it on my own.”

[galaxyraised]

    STARTER:  REQUESTED.    TILLY,  SYLVIA  ⟶  STRAAL,  JUSTIN,  @obscuresmuse​

“i uh,  i don’t know where lieutenant stamets is,”   shouldn’t she know?  sometimes it feels like she’s required to know his location at all times,   “somewhere on the ship,  presumably.  i can help you find him!  unless you’re here for something else,”

DISCOVERY MUSES CANON DIVERGENCE NOTES.

so,  as i’m sure a lot of you have caught on to,  i’m angry and just flat out devastated by some of the things that happened in the s2 finale,  so uh,  we’re canon divergent now,  kids!!  anyone else who’d like to join in on these specific divergences is welcome to plot with me bc...... i’d absolutely love that and typically won’t be writing in verses that are strictly canon post-s1 any longer.   HEAVY SPOILERS FOLLOW,  AND I DON’T TRUST READ MORES SO PROCEED WITH CAUTION   (   though everything’s tagged   ).

AIRIAM   ---  CANON DIVERGENT POST 2x10.   due to her cybernetic augmentations,  airiam was able to survive in space long enough to be saved by the crew of discovery.  the ‘virus’ that affected her cybernetic systems was successfully and entirely purged,  the memories that had been backed up to discovery’s computer were reintegrated,  and all is well.  airiam now serves aboard the newly commissioned constitution-class discovery as an engineer.

AMANDA GRAYSON   ---   none rly except she doesn’t fuckin’ lose her daughter :////   *see michael burnham divergences.

JETT RENO  ---  CANON DIVERGENT POST 2x13.   none that are entirely significant,  though they play into the overall arc i’m establishing via. michael,  paul,  tilly,  and po’s divergences.  has been reunited with her wife,  who sURPRISE,  totally didn’t die in the war and was only presumed dead due to her ship’s destruction   (   the crew managed to survive on an uninhabited m-class planet and managed to construct a communications device from shuttle parts and such in order to finally send a distress call   ).   jett now serves aboard the newly commissioned constitution-class discovery as chief engineer.

KATRINA CORNWELL  ---  CANON DIVERGENT POST 2x13.   listen she managed to disarm the torpedo like the goddamn hero she is,  and everyone lived happily ever after,  the end.  played a major part in concocting the cover story re: discovery’s disappearance & the decision to destroy all evidence that the ship had ever existed in the first place,  including helping her crew concoct cover stories as to where they’d all actually been serving during the war and after.  continues to serve as commanding officer of the u.s.s. washington which totally exists u can’t take this away from me.

MA HANI IKA HALI KA PO  ---  CANON DIVERGENT MID 2x12.   in part one of ‘such sweet sorrow’,  po offers a potential solution to the fact that the entire crew of discovery are so willing to sacrifice themselves so michael doesn’t have to be alone in the future,  and with the help of tilly,  paul,  and jett,  manages to devise an auto-pilot system for the red angel suit that,  once michael is able to set the signals in the past,  will guide an unmanned discovery through the wormhole and safely into the future.  keeps in regular contact with the crew of the new u.s.s. discovery and assures they visit her often.

MICHAEL BURNHAM  ---  CANON DIVERGENT POST 2x13.   it takes michael a while to be convinced that the plan devised by po,  though ultimately she agrees.  spock comes to the realization that michael set the signals from their current point in time sooner than he did in the show,  and michael was able to do so and safely return in time for the suit to be switched to the newly developed auto-pilot mode,  where it was set to emit the final two signals   (   the first to guide discovery’s auto-pilot system behind it,  and the second to let those who had served aboard or participated in the mission that they were successful   ).   michael now serves as first officer aboard the newly commissioned constitution-class discovery under captain saru.      

PAUL STAMETS  ---  CANON DIVERGENT POST 2x13.   is able to finish constructing the suit with its auto-pilot feature,  and while he was severely injured,  he’s absolutely okay,  and he and hugh are livin’ happily ever after on the newly commissioned constitution-class discovery where he continues his work in astromycology,  though mostly as a possible energy source rather than a transportation method,  and occasionally offers a hand in engineering as needed.

SARU  ---  CANON DIVERGENT POST 2x13.   saru convinces sirana to join starfleet as well,  and rejoices in the fact that he’ll be able to see his sister more often.  maintains a steady friendship with captain pike,  the two communicate often.  saru now serves as the captain of the newly commissioned constitution-class discovery. 

SYLVIA TILLY  ---  CANON DIVERGENT POST 2x13.   after working with po,  stamets,  and jett to help solidify the plans for an unmanned suit and unmanned discovery to go through the wormhole,  she helps coordinate efforts to assure the crew remaining aboard all make it safely to the enterprise.  tilly remains in the command training program,  and is soon promoted to lieutenant jr. grade.  she maintains regular communication with po via subspace channels.  sylvia now serves aboard the newly commissioned constitution-class discovery as an engineer and research assistant to commander stamets as she continues her work in the command training program.

U.S.S. DISCOVERY COVER STORY  ---  the crew of the u.s.s. discovery had indeed served aboard a top secret vessel during the klingon war,  and served one final mission under the command of captain pike following the war.  though the name of the ship,  her abilities,  and the details of said mission have been destroyed or classified above top secret by starfleet per order of command due to the augmentations required to use the spore drive,  and the danger involved should anyone discover the existence of the red angel suit.  her crew were all ordered to maintain the secrecy of discovery’s existence,  and all agreed.  due to their service,  and the fact that they all worked well together,  any and all of her crew who so wished were allowed the option to serve together aboard a newly commissioned constitution-class vessel under the same name   (   though all records indicate she it is,  indeed,  the first of her name   ).

this is a PERMANENT INTEREST CALL for SYLVIA TILLY of DISCOVERY.  hit the heart or reply to this post if you’re interested in interacting with her at any point in the future!

“hi,  so,  i know this isn’t a good time.  there’s a lot going on.  a whole lot,  with....  uhm.....  airiam,  and section 31 and everything.”   eyes squeeze shut for a moment,  as she forces herself to slow down and get to the point,   “anyway,  i was thinking,  and your cybernetic augmentations are really similar to airiam’s so  ---  to be safe,  do you think it’d be okay if i ran some tests to make sure everything’s okay with you?  i’d hate to lose two friends so close together just because i was afraid to speak my mind,  and play it safe,  you know?”

“i know things can feel REALLY overwhelming the closer it gets to graduation,”   between training cruises,  and work placement,  and a thousand and one other things  ---  the transition from starfleet academy to full on starfleet officer can be a lot.  secretly,  tilly thinks it might’ve been easier for her than most,  with how little time there had been for a truly awkward transition during the war.  she’d been needed,  so....  it hadn’t felt all that strange,  being the youngest person aboard discovery.  she’d managed well enough,  anyway.   “but it’s really not all that bad.  it’s always helped me to remember that even the greats were in our shoes once,  you know?  i don’t think anyone’s ever become a perfect officer overnight.  there’s always room to learn,  and to grow,  and sometimes you get really lucky and end up with commanding officers who remember that.  other times.....  not so much,  but it doesn’t mean it’s not true,”

squinty eyes @tilly bc jim is the way he is, im so sorry: ‘ i could be your date. ‘

“oh,  well that’s super nice of you,  lieutenant.  jim.  james.  should i call you jim,  or james?  i’ll just stick to lieutenant,”   the real panic here stems from the fact that she’s so caught off guard that there’s no way of saying how the question really makes her feel,  and that leads to immediate discomfort  —  and,  in turn,  a whole lot of rambling.   “i mean,  there are more than one-hundred people aboard disco,”   which,  when compared to the constitution class,  is really only….  well,  half the crew compliment,  but still a fairly significant number.  right?   “a — and not to assume anything about your sexuality or preferences,  but were you,  you know,  solely interested in women,  statistically that would be approximately half the crew.  now,  the number’s not quite even when you get down to reality rather than statistics,  but the point still stands.  and that’s to say nothing of how that number would jump if we went ahead and included the whole crew.  commanding officers aside,  of course,  because fraternization with commanding officers is frowned upon.  but that’d take us back up to more than a hundred people,  still,  and here you are talking to me.  which isn’t to say i’m not confident or anything,  i’m fine i just  —  oh my god i’m gonna stop talking now,  i’m so sorry,”

“oh hi,  hello,  captain!  i’m so glad i caught you,”   that’s not to say there hadn’t been a smidge of planning on her part,  in attempting to ‘coincidentally’ run into captain pike.   “i know you’re busy.  very busy.  but,  uhm,  i need to apologize.  for what happened on the bridge,  during the training exercise?  you know,  with me yelling at you.  of course,  i wasn’t really yelling at you so much as i was yelling at may,”   but that’s an unnecessary distinction,  because obviously he knows that by this point.   “either way,  i know the outburst was inappropriate,  and i thought i should take the time to let you know how sorry i am.  and that it won’t happen again,”   unless,  that is,  she happens to become infected with another fungal-based ‘parasite’ from the mycelial network  ---  but that doesn’t seem especially likely.
