“Ahhh,” Ghubari said, leaning back on her hands again. “Well, honestly, no one can know what is best for you but you. Though some will try to say otherwise. And nothing you do can truly prepare you for being in command of others. You can have all the training and it matters little. Because once that responsibility is truly on your shoulders, only you can know what you need to do and how you will handle it.”

“Wise words”, *Ghubari responded, “That’s another difference between your universe and mine, no Starfleet Academy, we have much to learn and unfortunately no time to learn it in apart from what we’ve picked up from the “School of Hard Knocks”“.

Ghubari shrugged. “Education is one thing but you only really learn by doing. And you’ll make mistakes in that doing as well. No different then the rest of life, really. But If I can offer you some advice, it’s to learn from others. I know that is harder or works differently in this universe, but look to people you admire, watch what they do, how they do it, and take on what feels right to you. Half the time it’s just instinct too. Trust them. They’ll keep you and your crew alive. Even if they dragged you across Universes…” she said, half frowning,

Ghubari took that in slowly like a deep breath. “Trust is a hard won thing in this place, true, but I’ve watched Orvos long enough to know I can trust him. He had all of us fooled, even that creepy Director R’han, if he’d wanted to do anything bad he had ample opportunity. Finding out he was undercover with Omega was both a shock and an unexpected opportunity.” She nodded at Ghubari, “In present company and with Orvos and Luka I now have three people I can learn from in trust. I’ve never had it so good”.

Ghubari grinned. “Hold on to that. There will be days ahead that test that and you will need to remind yourself of reality at times. It’s easy to get caught up in the moment, but it’s important, especially when you do have the lives of others in your hands, to see the big picture.”

She stood up, feeling that their conversation had come to a natural end, even though they could have likely talked for days. “I have every confidence that you’ll make the right decisions, and if you don’t, and you screw up, just know that you’re among good company on that front. We all fail at sometimes. And sometimes even the successes can feel like failure.”

“Truth,” *Ghubari replied, “I wish you well on your journey Captain. I won’t wish that our paths cross again but I will hold your memory as a special moment in my life and a precursor to some changes that I will make”.

She couldn’t help but smile at that. Later, she could reflect on the absurdity of this all, but for the moment she could just go with it. Stepping backwards, she was thoughtful as she gazed at her Mirror counterpart. “Remember, trust your instincts and then trust in those who know more than you do. Between the two, you’ll be okay.”

Spinning on the ball of her foot, Koraia walked away.
