Fanon
Chortegas is a fairly popular ship in the Strange New Worlds fandom. The ship initially got some fans after episode two showed the two close together during the dinner in episode two. It gained some more fans after episode five showed that they were friends, and apparently known each other a while. This was also the same episode that revealed that Christine was bi, so it caused many to become interested in a potential relationship between her and one of the female members of the crew. The ending also seemed to indicate to some the Christine might fall for Erica or that they writers were setting up a romance of the two. Their mutual snark and chemistry also led to many seeing the potential of the ship.

On AO3, Chortegas is the most written ship for Erica. It is also the fourth most written ship in the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds tag.

Una suggests that if it is the Illyrians they might have a cure, but La'an reminds her that Illyrian tech is illegal.
