Galen’s reaction as the weapon was fired was to step back, his arm automatically going across the front of Sural. It wasn’t necessary because Sural had baked up quicker than the security officer’s reaction. Galen made a quick glance as Sural spoke, making sure the man wasn’t harmed. He kept his voice silent, but the phaser was still in his hand as it had been since leaving the mock bridge. As they had checked rooms and unlocked various barriers, the lead had swapped between them. As the shot had been fired, Sural had been in the lead. Galen silently cursed himself. It was his job to protect the Chief Engineer. And currently he was doing a lousy job.
NE Galen
securityThere had been a pause. Sural’s mind computed the various options even as he glanced at NE Galen. He gave him a nod that was supposed to imply that his actions were proper. It wasn’t so much that Sural was reckless; to be honest he had not considered anyone down below here to actually have been one of them. Moreover, all that being said, he should have suspected there would be some residual crew from the alternate universe about. To have been caught by surprise like that indicated they had been lax - that he had been lax.
“What do you suggest, Mr Galen?” he asked in a low voice. “Can we talk him down from to assist us?”
- Sural, CEGalens hook his head. “I don’t know. Let’s see how he reacts. If he’s been traumatized bad enough, he may not trust us, much less help us.” He had been prepared for a straight firefight. But running into potential crewman that weren’t part of the duplicity, he hadn’t figured on that.
NE Galen
Security“Lt. Sural?”, the crewman questioned. He stepped further into the corridor, exposing himself, but still holding the phaser. He appeared shaken and unsure of what to think. When he saw Galens, he appeared even more confused. He recognized the security officer and then looked back around the corner out of Galen’s and Sural’s linee of sight.
“Mr. Galens, is that the real you? If it is, then who is that?”
He allowed the security man and CE to move forward. As they rounded the corner, they would see an exact double of Galen’s lying on the floor, unconscious, with an egg sized lump on his head. A sharp dagger, had been kicked across the corridor out of reach of the unconscious Galens.
NE Jobs (Computer tech)
In the adjacent Jeffries Tubes and access corridors too small for humans to easily access, a small entity stepped silently, cat-like paws and balance making his transit nearly soundless. Completely soundless to the not-so-sensitive ears of a human.
Sathut paused upon hearing voices, and sniffed the air. Four humanoids. One was Vulcan. He crept towards an access hatch, watching through the stiff grating.
Sathut, CNS
Galen nodded. “It’s me....” he stepped forward and shook his head as he glanced at Sural then back at Jobs. “Ok… so you know. There is a set of twins for several of us on the ship.” Soon as he said it, he had an idea. If this one wasn’t sure who he knocked out, then he could well be one of the ‘others’. Without missing a beat, he added. “I’m glad you are ok. When I hadn’t seen you since shift change this morning, I was worried. The Chief was wondering where we all were. He’ll be happy to know you are safe.”
The real NE worked third shift so wouldn’t have been at morning shift change. He just hoped it wasn’t a wild card that would backfire on them. They didn’t have a tricorder to check the guy. And the fact it seemed he knocked out the other Galen made Galen wonder if perhaps this guy was a doppleganger and thought he had hurt a real crewman.
