Trektober 2025, Day 15 - Era Swap. Dr T'Ana may like getting her paws out in the holodeck but given that she seems to have trouble fully retracting her claws the ship floors would probably feel pretty vile.
This lieutenant served as an operations division officer onboard the USS Enterprise! In her younger days, she specialized in history, sociology, and anthropology, and she entered Starfleet Academy at the age of 16 as its youngest ever entrant! She's also quite fond of poetry.

There is no nuance button, if your answer is some variation of ‘I would if X’ then the answer is yes.
It's actually quite funny because George Takei actually DESPISED when people claimed Mr. Sulu was a Homosexual. He actively wrote comics about Sulu and M'Ress being an item to a cartoonish overcompensating degree just because he was THAT dedicated to Roddenberry's Vision. So you can thank HMOFA on an insecure homo.
I got a lil carried away with all the booping yesterday, so here's a page of doodles! Featuring my beloved M'ress and her niblings :3
(ID under cut!)
[Image ID: a digitally coloured page of doodles featuring characters from Star Trek: The Original Series.
Text at the top of the page reads: "01/04/2024
Captain's Log: Lieutenant M'ress has been babysitting her niblings. While she has a cat nap, the Bridge crew has offered to watch them for a while."
Under this are three doodles of the niblings' faces. There is an orange one, with fluffy ears and yellow eyes, labelled M'lodi; a white one with blue eyes and one grey ear, labelled M'uschef, and a black and white spotted one with green eyes labelled M'rar.
The rest of the doodles are below. Described from left to right, top to bottom:
McCoy holds up M'lodi, grinning, and says "Well, ain't you adorable?" An arrow pointing at M'lodi reads "Trying to bap him"
Uhura cradles M'lodi in her arms, singing sweetly. M'lodi sings along, but the notes coming from them are jagged and discordant.
M'rar races towards the camera with a silver object in their mouth, looking pleased with themself. Scotty chases after them, yelling "GET BACK HERE YA WEE BEASTIE" An arrow pointing at the object M'rar has stolen reads "Essential piece of the warp core"
At the helm, Sulu and Chekov are watching M'lodi, who Chekov is holding in his lap, booping various buttons on Chekov's console. Sulu is laughing and Chekov is grinning. SFX: Beep boop
A closeup on Kirk as he says, despairing, "Mr Chekov, Mr Sulu, please tell me you locked the console." Chekov replies "Aye, Keptin." A white paw is visible on Kirk's shoulder.
M'uschef, the white cat, boops Kirk on the nose and the head, causing him to jump in surprise. SFX: BAP!
Spock is at his station, back to the camera. A light blue lump is just visible in his lap. From off screen, Kirk yells "SPOCK!"
Spock spins in his chair to face Kirk. "Yes, Captain?" M'rar is sitting in his lap, dressed in a tiny light blue lab coat, batting at the Starfleet insignia on Spock's chest.
M'uschef is lying on top of Kirk's head now, bapping at his ear. Kirk is resting his chin on his hand, sighing, saying "Nevermind..." SFX: bap bap bap
Four small doodles in sequence. Kirk still has his head in his hand and looks mildly irritated. M'uschef is on Kirk's shoulder, playing with the curl of his hair. M'uschef lifts it up and lets it slap back into Kirk's face, who turns, affronted, and says "Do you MIND?"
Lieutenant M'ress, an orange Caitian with a darker orange mane, covers her hand with her mouth, eyes wide. She thinks "Oh I am gonna be court-martialled"
