The Vulcan glanced at the displays. “We may enjoy a lessening of controls here on these consoles. Our counterparts were supposed to monitor and be able to plot their movements. Hence we should be able to do so as well.” If he had suspected for a moment that Oliver had spoken out of line Sural did not let it show. “That is sound logic on your part,” he replied.

His mind was going on about what was happening below them. He had not yet received word from Mr Crawford in engineering, but perhaps there was something more he could do here. He sat in the command seat and contemplated the scene around him. Some areas could not be seen from others; logically the other universe was as yet as paranoid as it had been. =^= Computer. Review mission parameters and outstanding tasks to complete. =^= It was a ‘shot’ as the Terrans liked to say. Logically the mission parameters should be available; how else would they know what to do? If not, then who ‘was’ in command of this mission?

The computer screen lit up with mission parameters on the Olympic.

Priority Alpha - Observe and document crew behavior and habits. Utilize this information to ease in false crewmembers to slowly take control of key points in the ship. Final point to take over the ship and utilize as mobile spy platform in Federation Universe Space. Prep for invasion.
Priority Beta - In the event of discovery before the mission completion, implement Code Black lockdown and take over computer systems. Power down all communication abilities and navigation.
Priority Gamma - In the event of mission failure. Erase all existence of mission. All personnel are to be considered expendable and the ship is to be scuttled to prevent knowledge of Terran Empire plans. If the Code Black is not lifted by Empire personnel, ships self destruct will be activated.

Were Sural a ‘frowning’ man he would have done so at that moment. Sathut had departed only a few minutes too soon. Else he could have carried this message to the bridge and not had to rely on ‘computer edits’. His reverie was interrupted by Reno’s reply.

=^= Chief, Reno here. You kicked the hornet’s next and the wasps are all over. And I mean all over the ship. =^=

“Logical,” he said given what he had just read. He took his ‘PaDD’ and snapped an image of the mission parameters, labeled it ‘maintenance’ and then mailed the image up to the engineering station on the bridge. “I would suggest, Ensign, that this other universe is .. expanding their horizons.” Glancing at the monitor looking onto the bridge he wondered how invasive they were there and what he could do.

Going to the station where the parameters were listed he attempted to ‘send’ that image to the bridge main viewer. Could that be done? If so it would suggest that they had a far greater control of the ship than they had thought. =^= Sural to Bridge. Our .. visitors .. who fled from their makeshift bridge here on this deck have dispersed throughout the ship. Most notable is at least one who is in the vicinity of Deck 3 armory. I am also sending you a maintenance report that would be of interest to you. =^= If it arrives, he thought.

“Terran Emp… Wow.” Oliver let slip, before acting on his approved suggestion. Oliver shook his head, =^= Computer, =^= he called out, somewhat nervously, =^= Review progress on Priority Alpha. Who’s been replaced so far? =^=

He needed to know so he could scan for duplicate signatures more specifically on a crew member by crew member basis, but nonetheless he also began trying to get a grasp on how many duplicate signatures there were total. He attempted to get access to the internal sensors through his console and scan for any and all duplicate life signs aboard.

Sural thought that may be a risky inquiry, however, at this moment risks needed to be taken. Where ‘did’ they believe they were at with regards to their mission. Why did they feel they needed to invade this universe? A handful of vessels could not hope to overthrow the Federation. That was not logical. There must be more ‘story’ behind this attempt. What was happening in ‘their’ universe for them to consider such an action?

Galen moved around the makeshift bridge and shook his head over and over. “So there are mirror folks out there and they are trying to take over our ship… And if they fail, we get scuttled… great…” he sighed and leaned on the wall. “So what do we do now? I can start trying to track down the duplicates, but I don’t know how to tell which is which.”

“Ensign Pierce’s inquiry may assist us provided the computer yields its results on who has been replaced,” Sural said calmly. “Trust me on this fact as an engineer, Mr Galen, it would take considerable work to ‘scuttle’ a vessel of this size that is designed for long range exploration away from potential repair ports. At least now we know their priorities. If they had a majority population on this ship they would have sought an armed takeover already. Since they have not then logically they are not yet in a position to.”

“Where are the power connections to this ‘bridge’ unit? Our objective was four decks down and here we have this bridge. To retain effective control on this vessel we require the computer. Our computer. Finding out where to restore central control back to our computer rather than the mirror universe programming will go a long way toward restoring our own command and control. If we are to continue our travel down we should not leave this unit operational to any but ourselves.”
