#manu noonien-singh

[vordenburg]

A Star Trek: Strange New Worlds spin-off about the (mis)adventures of the Department of Temporal Investigations VS. the Department of Temporal Alterations co-led by Adelaide Kane as Sera of Romulus and Lewis Tan as Manu Noonien-Singh when.

Somebody should fill that Smut Trek “In A Shuttle” bingo slot I keep seeing with Sera and Manu after a scenario where they escape the Gorn because reasons.

"Sera. I saw what you’ve been through. You’ve experienced great suffering. It’s not too late to let it go." STAR TREK WARS Episode VIII Five years after the events of A Quality of Mercy, in which the democratic United Federation of Planets was replaced by the totalitarian Romulan Star Empire, which effectively now controls the galaxy and oversaw the near-extermination of the Federation's peacekeepers, the Starfleet Order, our story follows Augment Padawan Manu Noonien-Singh, one of the few genetically enhanced survivors of the Eugenics Wars Purge, who embarks on a mission to try and restore peace, alongside the Rebel Alliance, while being hunted by the Second Sister, a Tal Shiar operative trained by the Imperial Inquisitors program.

“How long have you been fighting?” He didn’t answer immediately, and she saw his body stiffen as he looked away from her, a distant, far-off look on his face. “Since I was sixteen,” he said eventually. “The Gorn captured my family’s colony ship and deposited us on one of their planetary nurseries. They have a ritual. The last one… the last male and female who survive… they send into space on a raft. Mine ended up in Orion space. That’s how they found me. I started out on Hunhau working at the Serene Squall’s private salvage yard as a scrapper, but I was more trouble there than I was worth, so Remy sold my contract to Osferth instead. His idea of debt slave labor for ‘rescuing me’ was putting me in the ring. I’ve been working the fight circuit ever since.”

Orion Syndicate fighting ring AU inspired by the reworked fan fiction "When In Rome".

The first time Sera met Manu, he was sixteen and she was thirteen. “This is the enemy. Never forget that,” her mother informed her, ushering a black-haired, dirty-faced teenage boy into their home before unceremoniously forcing him to his knees on the decorated, mosaic floor of the atrium. He wore a simple black uniform, soiled and torn, its only splash of color the metallic silver of the zips and the bronze-gold shoulder pads — and, of course, the circular insignia sewn onto the sleeve of his upper arm. It read the words: SS Puget Sound.  Sera, who had been studying Federation starships as part of her schooling and by extension cultural indoctrination, did not recognise the name.  “Yes, Mother,” is what Sera said, but what she actually thought was: He doesn’t look like the enemy. He looks like us. A southerner, that was. He lacked the distinctive forehead ridges to be compared to a northerner. The only other differences between the two of them, Sera noted, was that his ears were round instead of elegant and pointed, and that his skin was absent of any green undertone, which indicated that his blood must not be copper based.  The boy looked up at her, then. His body trembled slightly, but defiance burned hot in his brown eyes. Whatever he was afraid of, Sera deduced, it certainly wasn’t them.  “Ah, excellent! Most excellent indeed,” her father exclaimed as he came walking into their stately home, wearing his blue-grey senator’s robes. “I see that you have met Manu. He is to be our new household servant and my imperial cupbearer.” “You mean our new servi privati,” her mother corrected, looking down her nose at Manu with a stern, disapproving look. “Well… I, for one, would much rather look at his face all day than a Reman’s,” Sera remarked. She then moved towards Manu and took him by the arm, not ungently, pulling him to his feet. He was a good few inches taller than she was and Sera now had to tilt her head to look up at him. “Come with me,” Sera instructed, leading Manu away from her parents, who doubtless had words to exchange — heated from her mother and diplomatic from her father — about taking a Hevam boy into their service. Her words as much a guise to escape being dragged into the political debate as much as it was to sate her own burgeoning curiosity about the boy who now purposefully walked beside her.

The Romulan Way: a prime timeline variation inspired by MKS57's fic in which the ritual of "the last one" is actually the last male and female, except where La'an's Mark IV liferaft drifted into Federation space, Manu's drifted into Romulan space instead.

Sera of Romulus’ #NotAllHumans arc being courtesy of George Samuel “Sam” Kirk and Manu Noonien-Singh is so real to me.

If the cliffhanger ending of “Hegemony” isn’t the perfect opportunity and set-up for SNW to cast Lewis Tan as Manu Noonien-Singh, retcon his “death”, and have him show up in part II to help save the crew of the Enterprise, I don’t know what is.

“A Subspace Rhapsody” crack AU in which Sera and Manu meet for the first time instead during the events of the penultimate musical episode after a chance encounter in Gorn Hegemony space featuring the boogeyman of the Beta Quadrant and a whirlwind forbidden romance between a descendant of Khan and the pointy-eared spyssassin who was sent to kill him, failed to complete her mission, and wound up bleeding out after beaming out in a D'deridex-class starship after faking her own death, only to be rescued by said descendant after almost becoming lizard chow.

What is this brief mortal life if not the pursuit of legacy?

Manu will fly north. First to Gonar to remind those reptiles that man is the apex predator of the galaxy, and then to Qo'noS to deliver our terms to Chancellor L'Rell. Meanwhile, La'an will accompany me on my journey to Vulcan where I will personally treat with Ambassador Sarek myself. We must remind these aliens of the oaths they swore. And... the cost of breaking them.

You think everyone is hiding something.

Everyone is hiding something. Whether they know it or not.

What are you hiding? Other than your job description. Your true name?

My what?

Romulans have a name for outsiders and a name for family, but your true name you save for the one you give your heart to.

New rare pair unlocked: Manu Noonien-Singh and Sera of Romulus. 🦎💫

Christina Chong supporting the cast Lewis Tan as Manu Noonien-Singh agenda. She’s a real one. 🖖🏻

Many of us have known those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Officers, scientists, civilians who gave their lives in the hope for galactic peace. Today we remember the friends and comrades we lost. Exploration can exact a heavy toll.  

Remembrance Day is about them.
