“Sir, a possible explanation, if I may. A mirror universe much like ours, has been confirmed. Only in the universe, the federation has been replaced by the Terran Empire. The Empire is the main power here, except unlike the Federation, they are the aggressors. Their sole purpose is conquest and to crush anyone that goes against them under the heel. Ruthless, brutal, promotion through the Empire is done by assassinating your direct superior . . . .and there are doubles of us that act in that way. If we are in their universe, their Saracen is in ours, unless. . . . “

His eyes went back to the main viewscreen. “Unless, we’re somehow stuck between the two realities. All Intel reports I have seen state the switch between realities was almost instataneous, not like. . .this.

Colter (CIO)

Sha couldn’t help but smile a sly grin and glance at her new superior, Sinclair. Her voice was low and had an obvious teasing edge to it, “So that’s all it takes to get promoted…huh? How .... Klingon…” She didn’t say it loud enough for it to travel past Sinclair at her back. But she didn’t realize that Colter hadn’t walked away and would hear it as well.

The idea of a mirror universe frightened her to the core. With duplicates wandering around on ships, people had betrayed one another, their crewmates and even killed the ones from their ‘own’ universe by accident or device of those who had boarded. All reports of Mirror Universe ships made her realize that there were hazards that couldn’t be escaped.

Sha had an idea and touched Sinclair’s hand lightly. Whispering to him, “We need a way to identify ourselves from our duplicates in case this is is of crossed crews as well as crossed ships. I just don’t know how to use that idea on the whole crew.” It was one thing for her and her companion to have an identity word, or even short phrase, but how to inform the whole crew of such a thing and make sure everyone was protected was giving her a bit of trouble.

“Is there anyway to check to see if we got caught in the transfer between universes?” Threwn asked, “Outside of firing our phasers.”

Sha frowned and tilted her head. “Maybe two probes, one fore, one aft. See which one hits .... something… first?” It wasn’t the greatest idea, “It is the safest way I can think. If we are in space type area, it will read the changes on the fringe. But if,” her mind shuddered at the thought, “we are ‘in’ something, if will hopefully agitate it less than firing weapons.” After speaking out of turn, she glanced up at Sinclair. Learning to step back was a bit harder than she anticipated.

She quickly turned back to her console with a self chiding mantra echoing in her head.

Colter began going though Intel files to see if there was anything new regarding the Mirror Universe. A recent article caught his eye.

“Captain, Intel reports from the USS Olympic state they recently had a run-in with the mirror ‘verse. Command staff was slowly being replaced with their Mirror’verse counterparts. They weren’t switching places. The real crew was being . . . killed by their replacements. There was some kind of device hidden in the bowels of the ship allowing the mirror people to come through. They were planning an invasion with the Olympic as their flagship and base of ops.”

OOC: This prolly has nothing to do with this sim, but I play on the Olympic as well, and that did recently happen. Just thought I would add some recent Intel info.

OOC: Nicely done, I love the flavour

Colter (CIO)

Sha frowned. “The Mirror Verse, I thought it was actual space, but… different. Do we think that’s where we are? Some alternative version of a universe?” The idea didn’t track but then, neither did an entire space ship being in a bubble of ‘nothing’. So while it made no sense, she couldn’t exactly discount it either. At least, not right away. She merely added it to the list of ‘strange things’ happening on her first day back.

Though she ‘was’ happy she had been aboard when it happened. She couldn’t imagine having come this far in a shuttle only to either see them disappear, or have them not here at all.

“Launch the probes, we will see if anything happens although I have a feeling we’re not stuck in anything with such defined boundaries.” Dante rubbed his jaw for a moment in thought. “The structural damage could have been from a localized moment of stress when we phased out of our universe, we may not be able to explain it but if it’s not critical, we can come back to that. What we need is to find our way out of here, and back to there, without going further where we don’t want to go. So how do we do that? We need a starting point, something to give us something to work with here. Any ideas? Can we look closer at that damage and find out how it happened? Maybe it left some kind of residue behind that will help.”

Captain Knight, CO

“With the lack of… well… anything… around us, could it be plausible that we have kind of fallen between the two universes for some reason? Like we were about to cross into the Mirror Universe… but somehow failed to do so?” Sinclair asked. Physics was never his strong point, but he had done decent in his classes on the subject.

Sinclair, CoS

“That’s the direction I was going, Sinclair,” Colter added. Perhaps if we reverse course and follow the path we came in on. . . if there was a window or opening that brought here, maybe it’s in the same place and will let us out?”

Colter (CIO)

Probes would locate again no phenomena, but an exterior scan of the Saracen showed residual effects of breaching through a dimensional barrier.

“Well, gentlemen, there you have it. No beginning, no end, and no idea.” She shook her head and glanced up in concern at Royal. “I don’t like this at all,” she murmured to him.

“Right, so if we have fallen into an empty dimension between ours and the mirror universe,” Dante verbalized his thoughts as he eyed the Terran symbol flashing on the screen intermittently, “we must have entered through an Interphasic Rift.” He looked up and eyed Colter and Sinclair, “Lets try your idea of heading back the way we came, Helm, reverse course, half impulse.”

Captain Knight, CO

An idea came to Adam. “Where are these symbols coming from?” He asked curiously. “Is it a signal from someplace, or do we have a potential intruder onboard?” he asked to everyone, looking at the captain as they prepared to reverse course.

-XO

Sha worked on moving thru the systems to see if there was a way to trace the location of the symbols. Or perhaps she could find a system they ‘weren’t’ in.

On her other screen, she was monitoring the return trajectory and the hull cameras as they moved, hoping to catch the event horizon as they moved back into normal space.

Sinclair began cross referencing bio signatures with comm signals, lookingbfor any odd gap or overlap.

OOC : Fixing typo.
