When Martika was brought back from an away mission to Cyclades 778, she was placed under the care of Kristian, who was unfortunately ill-equipped to deal with her, knowing little of the Pathfinders’ physiology. Needing more input, Kristian received aid from Phaedra. As the Hkkkt invaded Seeker 3000, he oversaw the evacuation of his sick bay, as they attempted to hide their populations within the Pathfinders’ Dead Zones.
Kristian continued to monitor Martika’s condition, and feared she would soon die. Ultimately, Phaedra was able to use Martika to unleash a psychic assault which rid the ship of the Hkkkt before taking Martika’s life.
