#kol-ut-shan

Some idic symbol themed backgrounds I created as backgrounds for my calligraphy. I'm doing commissions with these backgrounds now on my etsy.

I have real proper ✨vibes✨ on the way but Jonathan Archer requested an awkward introduction into the spy-verse and I had to oblige. 😅

For @candiedsumire and @deadheaddaisy my beloved enablers 💕💕💕

Meet the crew

Newly-promoted Captain Jonathan Archer was piloting the test rig. Rumour had it he was top choice to command the Kol-Ut-Shan mission once the sensor and engine upgrades were complete.

Trip recognised him from a few Starfleet training missions they’d completed together and decided to re-introduce himself while T’Pol and Stenn were chatting with Captain Jefferies.

“Good morning, Captain,” Trip said, offering the man his hand. “I’m Commander Charles Tucker of the Technology Integration Team.”

Archer shook his hand. “Captain Jonathan Archer. I’m looking forward to putting your engine through its paces!”

His open grin shifted into a more thoughtful expression. “But I know you from somewhere... It’s Trip, isn’t it? I’ll never forget that survival training in the Australian outback!”

“That’s right, sir! If I never see another desert, it’ll be too soon!”

“Please, call me Jon.”

Trip nodded agreeably.

Jonathan leaned in and dropped his voice conspiratorially, “Is it true there’s a guy on your team living with a Vulcan?”

Trip nodded stiffly.

“I’m pretty open-minded, but wouldn’t that be like fucking a robot?” Jonathan asked, his eyes shining with mirth.

“Well, I’m afraid I wouldn’t know anything about that,” Trip said apologetically. “I’ve never fucked a robot, sir.”

Archer looked horrified and immediately opened his mouth to apologise.

With timing so impeccable Trip might have summoned her from the ether, T’Pol appeared at his elbow.

“Speak of the devil! Captain Archer, I’d like you to meet SubCommander T’Pol. T’Pol, Captain Archer here is our test pilot.”

Jonathan looked a bit queasy as he raised his hand in a Vulcan salute. “Pleased to meet you, SubCommander. I look forward to working with you.”

T’Pol took pity on him and offered a handshake, “Likewise, Captain.”

“I should go and uh, say hello to Captain Jefferies.”

“Of course, Captain,” T’Pol agreed. “Matthew speaks very highly of you.”

Archer smiled awkwardly and made his exit.

Once he’d departed, Trip turned to T’Pol in amusement, “‘Matthew’?”

“Captain Jefferies has repeatedly suggested I refer to him by his given name. It seemed appropriate in the circumstances,” she replied innocently.

Well, Trip reflected, if his heart hadn’t already been at risk, that probably would’ve done it.

@tuhpring continued from here

Sybok laughs quietly, deep in his chest. "For my sake," he repeats, as if she told a joke. Has she ever told a joke? Not here of course, but he's sure she has.

Nearly every Vulcan is a hypocrite. He pities his people, and it's pity that stops his laughter.

"Whatever you need to tell yourself." His tone is conversational. "You know, I've known of Vulcans who all sorts of illogical things, yet I don't see them here. For example, did you know it's common for Vulcan children to bully others for having a mixed heritage? And the adults condone it, yet... where are they? Where are the separatists who would reject kol-ut-shan? Last I knew, they were the highest echelons of Vulcan society. Funny. I must be quite the monster to earn this fate while they are celebrated."

So I finally finished my cross stitch! The writing says kol-ut-shan, translated into English it means infinite diversity in infinite combinations, which I thought went very well with the trans flag
