╔═.✾. ═  LOG *** :  joann owosekun  |  cis woman, she/her |  35.

Just spotted JOANN / OWO around town.  Our records show that they remember [ most things ] from their source : st discovery (canon).   They were first spotted in october 2022 and our best guess is that their last memory is jumping past the edges of the known universe.  Archivists watching them state that they still have the control needed at her finger tips, an innate sense of understanding, sly smiles passed in secret, and folded notes in class vibe about them.

armes: can you tell me your name and where you are from?

Lieutenant Commander Joann Owosekun.  I am originally from a small village in Nigeria, though I studied in San Francisco and spent much of my young adult life there.

armes: and after your young adult life? where have you come from, immediately

I’m not sure I’m allowed to say, Ma’am.  

armes: if you can tell anyone in this town it is me.  but let me take a guess.  you are either coming from not this world or the future, or both.

Is that a common occurrence for you?

armes: common enough that i can assure you i have whatever level of clearance you deem necessary.

I was last in space, Ma’am.  And the future.  And I’m not sure what else I can say without ruining the future.

armes:  what is the last memory you have of your home?

Seeing things that no one thought possible.  Going beyond what we’d known.

armes:  i ask because we have a history of memory loss in this town.  do any of your memories feel foggy or missing?

I’ve been through war and jumped through time, twice now.  I think that any fogginess is simply from that.

armes: you’ve been in town for only a few days by my record.  i thank you for coming in to see me so early.  

You called for it, and you seem to be the person in charge while the town votes for a Mayor. 

armes: is there anything i can do to help you feel settled?

there’s silence on the tape for a moment

Well, if you know any of my crewmates that would be best.  But finding a job would probably help as well.

armes: given your experience, we would probably have a spot open in the research center, if you were interested.  now, joann, do you believe in the supernatural or mythical

No, Ma’am.  I believe there are things that one may perceive as supernatural.  There are strange occurrences in this universe.  And I am one who does believe in superstitions, thanks to my mother.  But the things I believe, I would not classify in those categories.

armes: what kind of traits would your friends and family give you?

Dedicated, hardworking, bit of a perfectionist.  Keyla would say I was patient, and Tilly would say I’m empathetic and I’d scoff at her.

armes: Is there anything else you would like to say?

No Ma’am, but thank you for your time.

notes collected by tal brennan

Joann Owosekun is a smaller character on the more recent Star Trek series, Discovery.  She is the operations commander, making her one of the two helmswomen on the Bridge.  Her and the other helmswoman, Keyla Detmer, seem to have a special bond between the two of them and work seamlessly together. 

Despite being a small character, we know a few things about her.  She, like the rest of the crew, is passionate about justice and doing the right thing.  She even agreed to jump into the far future in order to continue working with and helping the crew.  She is dedicated, intelligent, and hardworking from what we can see.  She respects the order of command, unless she thinks someone is in danger.  

danger: 6/10 likeliness to investigate: 8/10

I've missed them this season (especially Owo), but at least they were there at the end.

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY // S2E2 New Eden Since the other day, when the red burst appeared in the sky, I knew you were coming. That was the light from your ship, right? Your hands, your skin unravaged by the labor we do here. You're not from Terralysium. I can see the truth in your eyes.

You ever get exactly what you want, but in a shitty way that still makes you mad...?

[mai-komagata]

I would KILL for a short trek of owosekun and detmer on the iss enterprise alone having the time of their life. I need this so badly.

Discovery Crew Season 1

[poebrey]

Always figured this was the case since both Oyin and Emily were involved in other projects around the time of filming (Oyin was starring in Orah and Emily was directing Rosebud which she also wrote) but it’s nice to see it confirmed. One thing Discovery always seemed consistent with behind the scenes was leaving an open door for its actors.
