Editing Kerani Kostelic Hoshino Hyperion (section)

==Relationship==
[https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/T'Rea_Kostelic-Hoshino T'Rea Hoshino], a Vulcan-Human Starfleet officer who favors her human side, is Kerani's wife and the love of her life... though it didn't always look that way. 

As senior cadets, T’Rea and Kerani were both assigned to an experimental “Reaction Force” team.  Practically during their first meeting, T'Rea convinced Kerani that, contrary to a lifelong assumption on her part, Kerani wasn’t straight.  Unfortunately for T'Rea, who was hugely attracted to Kerani, the main effect of this was encouraging Kerani to pursue a relationship with a female Andorian cadet named Ishrelia zh'Akmiq, also a gifted athlete and Kerani’s rival.

Prior to shipping out on their first assignment, Kerani made her romantic interest to Ish’relia clear.  But on the mission, T’Rea declared her own romantic interest in Kerani, and the two started a relationship afterward.
 
That relationship ended a few years later, when they were given different assignments. Kerani was posted with Ish'relia, and they inevitably hooked up again. T'Rea found a new girlfriend, too. It all got rather messy, and no one really handled it well. Things then spiraled out of control, leading to conflicts involving Andorian clan politics, tears, icepicks, and lots of drama, like a big Andorian epic or something out of Shakespeare.

Fortunately it also ended like an Elizabethan comedy, not a tragedy, with laughter and two weddings at the end: a traditional four-person Andorian ceremony for Ishrelia, and a decidedly non-traditional one for Kerani and T'Rea. Today it all makes for a great story, and the two families get along great.

Some years later, Kerani and T'Rea decided to have a daughter together, with T'Rea bearing the child and Kerani providing the DNA.  While Vulcan-Human mating is no longer unheard of in the 24th century, and human females "fathering" children with their own modified DNA is likewise less rare, the combination presented a number of difficulties, including those presented by T'Rea not being a full-blooded Vulcan herself.

Following some difficulties (including apparent resistance from the Vulcan Science Academy to aid a mother who decidedly did not follow Vulcan ways, T'Rea recently became pregnant.  Despite having only minimal OB/GYN experience and less expertise in the specialized biological sciences involved in the pregnancy, Kerani became extremely overprotective of T'Rea's health, and beginning to drive her insane.

T'Rea suggested that Kerani accept an assignment to the Hyperion, which seemed to be both fairly short-term and a opportunity for Kerani to join a pure exploration mission.  Kerani had a varied background involving various planetside and [REDACTED] assignments, and a long stint in Second Contact on the USS Oxnard, she had never really been on a "seek out new life, and new civilizations" mission.

Kerani told her wife that was because she hated space travel and preferred working planetside, or at least on [REDACTED] where there was a lot of planetside action.  T'Rea replied "No, you're fine with space travel, you just love bitching about it."  Kerani, after a bit of self-reflection, had to agree, and accepted an assignment to USS Hyperion.

She was characteristically NOT aware that T'Rea's primary motivation was to get her out of the house until the baby was nearly due.  (OOC: Kerani's player recently discovered that she has some form of Au-ADHD, and even more recently realized that Kerani does as well.  Both can be a little slow of the uptake.)
