Unasked, Ryley answered. “We’ve hit an alternative reality version of ourselves and the Earp fields from each ship are not balanced frequency wise, we are crushing each other and the alternative us have made a house call to talk through the situation.”

Katelyn bit back a snarky comment about Ryley’s rank, realizing that it was likely not the time or place to remind him of his place.

To the apparition he added. “In terms of the prisoners dilemma didn’t theorists work out that actually both sides promising to cooperate almost always led to defection and the best solution was always for each party to assume that the other would act in its own self interests and instead they should both follow the same solution and confess or in this case defect?” He asked.

=^=I can’t say I’ve read any actual studies in vivo, but I think its the fear of betrayal that leads to the betrayal. Didn’t Winston Churchill say ‘that the only thing we need to fear is fear itself.’=^=

Heather looked sad for a moment. =^=I have nearly two thousand people trusting me.. and I’ve decided to trust you. I wonder if I’m not going to live long enough to regret it. As your Captain or,=^= as she looked at his insignia, despite the fact Jen never corrected her. =^= your commander mentioned, we could have just waited for you to shut down your warp drive or lose power to your shields… and we would have certainly survived… but you would have died.=^=

Commander Heather Argeneau

Since Argeneau seemed to be ignoring her for the most part, Katelyn’s dark eyes rested on the XO to see how he would respond to the woman.

Jen was studying Argeneau until there was a break. Turning to the Captain he said, “Captain, the doctor was correct. We crossed paths in subspace and are locked on a quantum level with theirs and our shields. The best solution at the moment is to drop shields simultaneously. However even a moment’s difference will result in one or the other or both of us being destroyed. My suggested plan,” he said, pausing to make subtle emphasis that it was his, “was to link computers. Ours is in better shape than theirs so will control the countdown and command of the simultaneous timing of the shields.”

Katelyn was nodding along with her XO before he even finished speaking his plan. His idea was exactly the same that she would have proposed to navigate the situation.

He turned back to Argeneau. =^= Here I am First Officer, recently transferred from the Marine Brigade Operations group in the Scrub. This is Captain Jacobs, also recently transferred over to the Chimera. =^= “Captain, this is Commander Argeneau, ranking surviving officer of their Chimera.”
- Jen

Katelyn gave a friendly smile to the other officer, but otherwise remained quiet, knowing that she was coming into the middle of something and content to let her XO finish what he had started.

Jacobs, CO

Jen turned back to Argeneau. =^= You have crossed over to us. Well done. Now, would our connection be a virtual remote or can we work a physical connection? Perhaps a computer node on each side and subspace link? =^= He was not the engineer. He could suggest things with ‘their’ universe from battlefield operations, though inter-universe connections was enough to give one a headache.
- Jen

Fortunately Argeneau was an engineer. ==^== The subspace vortex that we created doesn’t allow for matter transfer. What’s going on now isn’t even an actual direct projection of me, it a warp bubble of light, with the harmonics doubling as sound. The actual interface is so small… its no larger than a pin pick, but we are doing a tunneling neutrino scan of what you are doing and saying so that’s how we are communicating.=^= Interestingly if they had figured a way to scan the Chimera, Argeneau knew a lot more about them then they about her.

Commander Heather Argeneau
GM

Quietly, Katelyn tapped her comm badge to relay the information that Argeneau had just shared to her own Chief Engineer:

=/\= Jacobs to Sutret. Have you tried a tunneling neutrino scan? =/\=

Jacobs, CO

Ryley waited, watching quietly. After a moment he said. “Are your sickbay systems still operational. To treat your wounded.”

=^=The outer decks took a little beating, but the sickbay and the CIC are in pretty good shape. What I’ll never understand is they went to all the bother of putting the CIC in the middle of the ship but the Captain and XO quarters are on deck 2… Defeats the whole purpose.=^= she shook her head =^=Ridiculous absolutely ridiculous.=^=

Jen had been thinking. Of course it wouldn’t be that easy. =^= Commander, with this tunneling neutrino scan, that implies that you are a data projection which implies data can get through. I’m suspecting that a form of data receiver transmitter on each end of this would be successful? =^= He turned to the Captain who had called for the Chief Engineer. That was good. Once it got to these kinds of nuts and bolts that was getting past his depth.
