Rinji and his android lover free climbing El Capitan at Yosemite National Park. Despite her near limitless speed of computational capabilities, even an android as sophisticated as Synthia can still slip and fall from what is ultimately an unpredictable element that is the rock face they're climbing.
While it's quite probable that her body is durable enough to survive falling at terminal velocities to rocks below the tree line or the asphalt of the lone winding road passing through, that doesn't stop an andrenaline-fueled Rinji from grabbing Synthia's wrist just barely in the nick of time. Nor does it stop him from having a terrified expression on his face at the prospect of watching the woman he loves fall at all, let alone from so high up the side of a vertical mountain. Nor does it stop the surprising look of equal terror on Synthia's own face, despite her supposed understanding that she's strong enough to lift thousands of tons and withstand a head-on collision with a mack truck!
Seems Synthia is becoming more and more "human" all the time. Love can do that, ya know.
In all seriousness, I wanted an action shot from an interesting angle. There's not enough content like this. Libra did an awesome job on this pic!

PS: I find it to be a huge coincidence that it is exactly one year to the day since I posted my only other picture of Synthia in my gallery. For everyone wonder just who she is, she is a highly sophisticated, ultra tough and ridiculously strong android created for the sole purpose of being Rinji's significant other. What happened to Eri, you ask? She's still around. Probably alternate universe. I haven't decided yet. But there are some specific reasons for Synthia here, which I'll explain in the future sometime.

I think this is my new favourite Star Trek V: The Final Frontier fursona-format homage drawing. And this time scaling El Capitan, neither of them are wearing thruster boots, as Spock did briefly, after which Kirk losing his grip and falling scared the living crumpets out of Dr. McCoy, prior to baked bean pot supper and toasting marshmelons.
Excellent stuff, this drawing is, and thank you for sharing it with this 2Paw!

Nowt to be sorry for, at least not on my behalf; the pleasant surprise of your very welcome response is a treat I'm happy to have you share with me, so thank you again for the kindness of your artwork's sharing and your kind response in turn. I've been a Trek fan for most of my life, going back to when my two older brothers (also Trekkers themselves) got me into the 'family business' and plopped me in front of reruns of The Original Series and Star Trek: The Animated Series first aired in the early 1970s, the latter a treat I've only ever seen since on my copy of the two-season BluRay release of TAS pressed and sold several years ago.
As a Furry Fan and Artist yourself, if you're familiar with The Animated Series at all- and possibly Lower Decks, where Caitians have made a strong and modern resurgence in Canon Trek- you can likely guess who my very first Furry Crush was, as in Lt. Shibolene M'Ress. Trek was what got me into reading and drawing science-fiction and fantasy in primary school, then into tabletop role-playing games in Junior High, then in active local Trek fandom when I began high school and Furry Fandom very shortly afterwards. So I have a great deal to thank Star Trek for in getting me where I've gotten, and met the many friends and fellow enthusiasts in multiple fandoms I enjoy being a part of.
I have understood I'm a voice in the wilderness regarding my opinion and enjoyment of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, but it's a very close second place in the classic TOS and TNG films to my very favourite Trek movie, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Both of their soundtracks- Star Trek V by Jerry Goldsmith, and Star Trek VI by Cliff Eidelman- are my two very favourite movie soundtracks, period.
Even the name of the first track on The Final Frontier's soundtrack, taking place in the drawing you've posted above in homage at El Capitan, where Kirk ascended upwards the cliff face (at least for a while), inspired the title of the first chapter of my Trek Novel, titled Nyota-Mtoto, or by metaphor post translation, Star-Daughter or specifically Prodigal Daughter. 'The Mountain' in that chapter's title implies Fleet Captain Kirk's memory of falling from El Capitan- and saved from death by Spock's rescue- but it is not itself the 'Mountain' Kirk remembers. It's in reference to Mount Seleya on Vulcan, when Spock's rebooted body and his katra placed in McCoy before he died at the end of Star Trek II, was meshed back into who he once was.
And it was because of Kirk's nightmare and the fear he felt therein, that he thought he was reliving his near-death falling from El Capitan, only to be saved right before impact by his best friend and first officer. It was seeing in that waking dream Spock, as a much older man than he knew, standing by a rocky grave on a lush, green and rocky planet he does not recognize. Atop the cairn of stones is a Starfleet lapel pin, which upon closer inspection, Kirk realizes that it is his, and he is impossibly seeing a vision of his future shortly after his death.
He hears in Spock's voice, old and full of grief, the words of regret spoken without the movement of the elder Vulcan's lips: "There would be no Mount Seleya in his future." Then, falling out of the dream and thinking he is falling down the Mountain he thought he was climbing, he wakes up.
The events I've just described take place ninety years into the future of my novel, shortly after the end of Star Trek VII: Generations and Kirk's re-emergence into real-space from The Nexus, after being thought lost in duty saving the Enterprise-B from being torn apart on its unexpected first mission after being christened eighty-five years beforehand. The novel I'm writing takes place roughly halfway between the events at the end of Star Trek VI and the decommissioning of the 1701-A, and the events at the very beginning of Star Trek VII aboard the 1701-B. The novel is set mostly aboard the two-starship miniature fleet of one division of the Enterprise-B Project, which the newly promoted Fleet Captain Kirk is serving as ranking officer aboard one of the two ships and advisory position for the entire Project.
And there is one more Mountain, incidental but important, that is to arrive shortly from the past, and somewhere entirely unexpected. This Mountain is a giant mirror and reflection of what once was, clad in feline fur.

That's a lot for me to take in. ^^;
I'll try and respond to what I'm able. First, not often I meet someone older than I am. I'm in my mid-forties myself. Got into Star Trek since The Search for Spock. It's actually been decades since I watched Star Trek: Animated Series. I'd actually have to rewatch it to remember much of it. My one "sin" was never watching all of TOS to this day, something I hope to rectify. I have watched most of the IMO memorable ones though. I can't remember if I watched all of TNG when it first aired, but since then I have seen it all. Same with DS9, Voyager and Enterprise also. Unfortunately, I had and will always have NO desire whatsoever to watch any of the Trek series being put out today, since Discovery. There's far too much left-wing and identity politics for my taste and the writing in these series has been terrible. The ONLY exception is Star Trek: Picard season 3, which just happens to be its last season.
I agree with loving Star Trek VI's soundtrack and I remember buying the official soundtrack on cassette tape way back when. I have all the TOS and TNG movies and I binge watch them usually once a year. Star Trek V, to me, always seemed like a glorified TOS episode, but I mean that in a good way. What it lacked in special effects, it made up for in heart.
Funny you mentioned your novel about taking place between the end of Star Trek VI and Star Trek Generations. Not sure if it's a coincidence, but I happened to see a novel that took place in that time period. It's one I find myself curious about, that time period I mean. You definitely seem to be more of a Trekker than I am, though I'm more of a Trekkie as sadly I've never been to a convention due to where I lived...it was a boring place nowhere near any such conventions.
But I do thank you for sharing all this with me and I just wanted to put in my two cents on the matter. Cheers!
