=^= 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.”

=^=Odinson to Sural, do you have that faux bridge secured yet? Please tell me some good news.=^=

Odinson (XO)

Galen looked to Sural. The duplicate bridge was secure, but what about the rest of the ship? “Sural, I need to know if you have this? I need to make sure the other departments are secure.” Though his voice sighed, “Though I’ll be damned if I know how to tell. I need to find where the Doc is… hope he is one of us… then see if he knows a way we can tell the duplicates apart.” He ticked the list off on his fingers as he tried to think of what to do since Oberon, the Security Chief hadn’t reached out to him. “And I need to see if the Security Chief has been compromised as well. Oh, lords… if she’s a duplicate now....” The idea didn’t sit well in the NEs stomach at all.
