Title: Birthright 3 - The Lady of the Lake
Author: Soledad
Fandom: Andromeda AU
Genre: Action/Adventure, Drama, maybe a touch of Romance - take your pick. My stories are rarely limited to any specific genre.
Rating: 16 and above - and not necessarily for the sex included. Personally, I find violence much more harmful for young readers.
Timeframe: roughly around and during the 1st seasone episode Music of a Distant Drum.
Summary: A different take on the above mentioned episode.
Disclaimer: Andromeda is the product of Gene Roddenberry’s genius. The other rights belong to Sci-fi Channel at the moment, I think, and to the individual screenwriters of the chapters on which this story is based. I own nothing, except the weird plot idea and a few OCs.
Archiving: my website and Otherworlds.
Dedication: To the members of the Memory Alpha Yahoo Group. Without their support I’d never have been able to write this story.
FOREWORD
Please read it, even if you find this sort of thing boring. It’ll save us future complications. Thank you.
This is the third instalment of my Andromeda AU-series “Birthright”. Reading the first two would help enormously to understand the background. But for those who don’t want to do so (your loss, folks) here is a short summary.
Birthright 1 - The Assignment takes place on Sinti IV entirely, shortly after the 1st Season episode To Loose the Fateful Lightning. It shows the Perseid reaction to the freeing of the Andromeda and the destruction of the Dyhedra System, and how Rannveig got his fateful assignment: to find the All Systems University records.
Birthright 2 - The Gathering shifts the focus to Tyr. It starts after the episode Angel Dark, Demon Bright and ends after The Mathematics of Tears. In this story, Tyr reconciles with Freya (who moves in with him aboard the Andromeda), finds a handful survivors of Völsung Pride on the planet Haukin Vora, allies himself with Guderian and the Sabra Pride branch on the Centauris A colony and marries the daughter of that Sabran Pride Alpha. He also marries two of the remaining fertile females of Völsung Pride and mates with the third one. So, at the beginning of this story, he has four wives: Freya (Orca Pride), Mikaelan (Sabra Pride), Derdriu and Finnabair (both Völsung Pride), but only Freya lives with him. He has sired two more children, those of Ayeshwariam (the third Völsung woman) and Abigail El-Hakim, Mikaelan’s sister, the chief assassin of the Sabra on Centauris A.
We also learn in “Birthright 2” that the Sabra on Centauris A have repeatedly raided the abandoned High Guard station GS92916. With the data they’ve collected there and the derelict High Guard ships they’ve picked up during the last two centuries, they’ve built a small but impressive fleet for themselves. The sons of Pride Alpha Ezekial El-Hakim and his First Daughter, Abigail, hold all key positions, while his other daughters (like Guderian’s First Wife, Deborah), are married off to various allies. Marrying into this cadet branch makes Tyr part of an already powerful alliance.
Tyr has also taken in a pair of Völsung twins, who’d lived as outcasts because - as a result of a genetic experiment gone horribly wrong - they are both damaged (read: incapable of breeding). They are both highly skilled warriors, bound to Tyr by the lifelong Omega oath.
But the most important fact is, that - with the help of the Perseids who had their own designs on the ship but lost - Tyr managed to get his hands on the Pax Magellanic. They succeeded in erasing the core AI and (with the help of cleverly placed explosions) trick Dylan & Co into believing that the ship was indeed destroyed. In fact, however, it was hidden in the asteroid field until Abigail El-Hakim could get to it and tow it to Centauris A, where they could start working on reprogramming the AI and replacing the slipstream drive.
